History: A new awakening..

History is one of the lovely subjects. Because it helps us to celebrate the past, reason the present and plan the future. I remember Bhavani ma'am teaching me this - "History = His+story. Whose story ? The early man's story".
It is a wonderful subject but rarely acknowledged.
I have recently developed a yearning to study history.
My wishlist:
1. Complete Indian history. 
2. Great world scams
3. World wars
4. Maruthanayakan (obviously)
5. Sadam's history


i know that these require great patience and a broad view to appreciate. 
But how will this help me? 

It would help to understand what has shaped our present and how it will affect the future. When i turn 18. it will help me vote.
I have a pipe dream of entering politics. Maybe it would help me then. I wanted to become a social studies teacher and teaching history would be much more interesting.
Anyways, to be honest it is out of curiosity that i want to learn history.
