History is among the few prodigious subjects that the intellectual community prefers
to be kept sacrosanct under their theocracy, reason being its ability to be used as
their panacea, to regulate the way a nations individuals and its institutionsgovernments, media, judiciary, etc think and in turn, promote certain ideas and
values (their ideas) as socially relevant as against others. It is an invincible weaponthe Brahmastra, which if used by anyone, can wreak havoc on a nations human
discourse.

of history (specifically, conjectural history), it becomes indispensable to first
understand what is History and the role of Value Neutrality in taming History.
