Writing history

Writing history is a tricky affair. There is not just history, but versions and versions of it. I think it is best if Governments or official agencies keep their hands off writing history. In fact, history ought not to be taught at schools or colleges at all. It could be pursued as a personal choise and propogated by individuals who are interested in the subject. For the rest, history should be left to their imaginations.
