South asian history.
David McCullough warns that not knowing history is like a "creeping disease" and that everything in modern society exists because of the hard work of those who came before. Historians explore the past to understand how people lived and the decisions they made, and to see how the past is linked to our present lives. Historians use primary sources like documents, artifacts, and eyewitness accounts as well as secondary sources like textbooks to learn about history. It is important to ask questions when studying history and use multiple sources to draw conclusions, just as detectives solve cases.
