How can a country improve when its people do not know its history? How can a country improve when its people cannot even discern what is a lie from a truth in a historical perspective? I believe that history is the mirror of the past and a vehicle going to the future, but how can we mirror back the past and go successfully to the future when facts of history can easily be fabricated and the same can simply be bought?
When historical facts can be fabricated it means that history can simply be revised, when history is revised without further research and investigation on the part of the public it means that there is something wrong with the people. If there is something wrong with the people because they don't care about there history then they're going to nowhere.
Our national history is also our national identity, if we don't know our history then we don't know ourselves. If we permit powerful and influential people to change part/s of our national history in favor of the personal glory of the few, then we are nothing but a group of ignorant falling as preys to the aristocrats.
Will we permit ourselves to be the laughing stock of the world by letting the few change our history thereby changing our national identity? Will we continue our minds to be poisoned by the few whose only aim and purpose to change our history is to grab power again? I hope we won't let ourselves be enslaved again and I hope further that our IGNORANCE won't be the reason why we would then be under another POLITICAL SLAVERY.
