History as a mainstream higher education discipline is slipping off many campuses in this information era, and many people hold the view that studying it is not worth it now. • Why is history losing its position as a discipline? • Do you endorse the view that history has no significance in these times of change? Much water has flowed down the bridge of higher education where history was as good as any other course. But, today, it is being pushed off many higher education centers. This happens in many ways and, in my view; history is the only stream which never loses its significance. The onslaught of new generation courses is the primary force that has pushed history out. For example, an IT qualification involving a few years is enough for one to make huge material difference in his or her life. History falls short of this. Besides this, a qualification in history demands for great number of years and unusual patience and excellent attitude. The nuclear parents and their children are not ready to invest in such a stream. Coupled with these is the fact that not many institutions are ready to promote courses in history; rather they go with the current of high demand, and history gets sidelined. However, it is a fact that history is an evergreen stream of study, and there is no new generation course which does not have something to with history. For example, the most eulogized information revolution is actually a by-product of history. Let me cite another example. All the freedom, conveniences, happiness, material comforts and monitory possibilities we have are the logical continuation of history. Further, the students who learn art, architecture, archaeology and geography can enjoy their studies greatly if they know some history. My conclusion is that the losing popularity of history as a course is really discouraging, no matter what the reasons are. To me, history as such will always be a thing of the present, but all the so-called info-explosions will become history. History is present. Ajaypeesdoc 290 words 08.07.14
