Letters from a Father | Episode 2 | How Early History was Written

In this letter Nehru enlightens how early history was written. He writes,"To learn the story of these early days of cities and countries we sometimes get old books. But there are not many of these. Other things help us. The kings and emperors of old times used to have accounts of their reigns written on stone tablets and pillars. Books cannot last long. Their paper rots away and gets moth eaten. But stones last much longer."
