Anyways, i was told by an elder very early in my age that history is a set of lies, not many are lucky enough to know this through out their life.

History is not a set of lies, it is a mixture of both the truth and the lies and it is up to the student to filter out the truth from the falsehood. History further requires an open mind and a will to accept faults! with a biased study of history, you will never be able to appreciate its true essence.
One thing that I have learnt is that "History is written by the victors". The right books are always there so that means the canvas is placed. Perhaps we need to change the way we read it
There are a lot of good books out there that reveal the true history of India. Learn, not just for the sake of clearing this exams alone, but learn to be a better soul for the future.
Anyways, for the time being, as is said, "If you don't like a rule, follow it, reach the top, and then change it'
