Question

Suggest measures for preserving sources of history.

Answer 1

• Common people like us often come across material and oral sources of history. Therefore, we have an important responsibility to protect and preserve these sources.
• While visiting historical places such as forts, statues and caves, we should take care to keep them clean.
• We should never scribble or write on the walls of historical monuments. If we see anyone doing so, we should discourage them from such activities.
• We should volunteer in campaigns organised by institutions or NGOs for the protection and preservation of historical monuments.
• Songs, legends, folk tales and other oral traditions should be written down and collected. These records can be used as written sources and help preserve our heritage for future generations.
