Fascinating, History to me!


Its extremely fascinating to me how we have reached today from the ancient time to year 2018. I have realized that its very interesting to know autobiography or inventions or historical event which changed a country or world like world war 1 & 2, various civil wars  or various wars which happens in either India with neighboring countries  or History of how India after independence suffered to get divided for Hindus & Muslims .

Whenever i think of any of such historical events or people who happened to exist , i feel fascinated. Fascinated because it was never easy to be a part of them.
In today's blog , i shall enlist few of my all time crushes towards the existence of History / events .

It started with the curiosity of how great leaders & citizens of India bought this independence to us. This independence was the greatest Joy which has come to each of us because of them, they who died fighting this, they who knew the pain, they who not wanted their next generation to breath under British. I read few books to kill my curiosity, to know the torture and pain of those year, to realize how difficult it was when people ruling you were not your mentors, they were just using them. It was a saddest pain that our ancestors went through. 

Later, then i was attracted to the fact that those years , around 1947, Technology & science was not much available to world, the lives were different. This was quite interesting to know how people had their priorities in life, how they were used to spent their schedule of day, how had they living in a family with so many siblings around etc. A book Greatest partition by yasmin Khan helped me to visualize the incidents of before & after the separation. ALso, a Long detailed documentary on netflix which i saw explained me well how India was formed, how pakistan was formed along with east & west pakistan.  If i was living in those years, for me certainly it would never been easy if someone would had asked me to stand and go to some other part of country forever, leaving my entire "achieved & earned" items of my life. It certainly was a saddest but a fascinating part to understand.

While i was waiting on railway station to pick someone, i randomly purchased a book " Mein kamp" a autobiography of Adolf Hitler. I had no clue who he was, was he a good guy in history or a bad . After i purchased, i  got to see a 10 episode documentary on netflix on WW2. My curiosity then moved to few years before 1947 to 1939-1945, World war 2. Since childhood, i believe in some class i had learnt details of WW2 but i had no memory of it. I thought it would be an interesting effort to understand why, how & where this WW2 happened.  I saw a detailed documentary again available in netflix which later convinced me why this book "Mein Kamp" was banned in various countries including Germany. Later , About 85,000 German-language copies of the anti-Semitic Nazi manifesto have been sold after the book was released in 2017. I got curious to know more about Adolf hitler, i never knew history could be so beautiful. As a summary i could say, Adolf was a brave man, he had a great desire to succeed in his life & career, however his habits & inability to listen to others along with irrational ego took him into the falling edge of his life. Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany & gave a good economic stability along with strength to the military , his collapse happened due to his desire to capture world & did suicide on the day when Germany was surrounded by rivals from all corners. I feel fascinated to know Hitlers life , he was very aggressive, arrogant, he lived his entire life in proud and respect, he took Germany from a low economic country to a high GDP nation, but such a Great Leader to a Nation left Germany with a defeat to Germany in WW2. 

Germany & Japan were the actual culprits of WW2 who initiated this war in order to capture lands & other countries. Japan being such a  small country had too much desire to capture more land for future so that they become more stronger in area . Similarly Germany Captured various lands of various countries from 1939-45. The bombing of Nagasaki & Hiroshima was a sad experience to read, however it certainly was a important action taken by Unites states of America to stop WW2. While in this, i also realized various inventions happened in WW2 in terms of arms, ammunition, telecoms etc along with nuclear invention. Experiment to this first invention happened to be at Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing many & affecting many for coming years. 

Later i also felt attracted to few very inspirational scientist like Mr Tesla who invented AC motors & few other things . His life & achievements as a human being in those years of 1885 was never easy.  I got to know one real incident which He wrote in his book was, During a class when he was of 22 age, his teacher told that its impossible to make a AC motor to run on AC current, by that time it was only DC motors available . Mr Tesla in class objected & tried to convince his teacher that certainly  AC motor could be invented. Every one made fun of him, later he spent days & nights for like 4 years , at age of 26 while he walking in park at dawn of sunset, he got an insight of idea to invent AC motor. He developed a prototype and proved him. However for him it was not easy, later , he went to Mr Edison company who was mainly working of DC currents, Edision took him on job but when Tesla  explained about his plans regarding AC motor, Edision appeared unhappy. Mr Tesla left the company after 6 months, no matter how much tesla was a admirer of success of Mr Edision. Tesla even dig roadside and earned a food of one day, their wa s time where he did not knew where to get food next day from!

I read a lot about Mr Mohandas karamchand Gandhi ( Mahatma Gandhi), father of Nation of India. I read his life in order to understand why it has become so easy today to make fun of him, why is their a existence of such people who makes fun of M Gandhi. While i read his book, i realized it was certainly not easy to be like him, he lived a life which was completely dedicated in History for "We" people of India. 

All these stories , incidents, explanations hits my mind and make me feel that their was a world which i missed to live ! missed to see for real ! however they exist, they exist in History , they exist in books, they exist in minds.
