India and Israel have a violent history, which in the case of India was glossed over in the 1900s by a false narration of non-violence. B. H. Liddell Hart writes in the book Why Don’t We Learn From History?: [History] cannot be interpreted without the aid of imagination and intuition. The sheer quantity of evidence is so overwhelming that selection is inevitable. Where there is selection there is art. Those who read history tend to look for what proves them right and confirms their personal opinions. They defend loyalties. They read with a purpose to affirm or to attack. They resist inconvenient truth since everyone wants to be on the side of the angels. Just as we start wars to end all wars”. Yuval Noah Harari in his book “21 Lessons for 21st Century” writes “Ability to explain the past, feeling world is understandable when really it is not, does not make sense even when you feel it makes sense, and the mistakes are made” History is not only about the past; it is also about the present and the future. There will be a livable future only if the present finds consonance with the past. Until then we are doomed to conflict situations.
