Course Overview

Our physical traits are not the only things we inherit from our ancestors. In fact, the older generations are a storehouse of knowledge when it comes to being prepared for anything! The epic battles and the tales of the kings and queens are proof that the rich Indic history holds lessons that are relevant even today. Our course, Lessons from Itihaas, is an effort to ignite a spark of knowledge among teenagers.
It gathers from historical narratives to prepare young learners in taking informed actions towards their goals. Students will learn about significant figures and episodes, understanding the strengths of our ancestors!

Objectives

To capture historical facts and narratives in an entertaining way
To understand the significance of history in making sense of the present
To present the humanity in the events and help students relate to the material
To seek inspiration from the challenges and strengths of our Indic ancestors
To learn about the relentless Indic resistance and recognise the current relevance of the lessons in life and work

Outcomes

Students will get a peek into some lesser-known facets of Indian history. Specifically, they will learn about the six ‘Indian Warrior Kings and Queens’ who successfully defeated the Islamic invaders in spite of a wide range of challenges. In every session, a new Indic legend will be introduced.

Students will also share how the learning can be used in their personal, social, and professional life. This application-based method will prove conducive to in-class learning.

Exercise

The course will allow students to share their thoughts about the historic episodes introduced to them. Our storytelling format and exercise will help them in:

Identifying the defining qualities of the legend/icon of the day
Thinking outside the box
Leading from the front
Developing and trusting instincts
Grasping the importance of having a sense of humour
