`Shift focus from history to heritage'

LUCKNOW: Not everyone enjoys

history lessons

in school. But Delhi-based heritage activist

Vikramjit Singh Rooprai

says it's not students' fault; instead the way history is taught in schools makes it boring.
Conducting a session `Where

Literature

went wrong in teaching history', Rooprai said, “Nowadays, we have turned history into his story . There is more religious context to history than relevance. We need to connect the past with the present to make history relevant. We need to shift our focus from

history to heritage

. History is something written in books and packed up in libraries. Heritage is something we are living right now“.
