Vision
To light yesterday’s lamp to light up the voiceless future .
Mission
Keep alive the national memory for even during the toughest trials and tribulations it is our history and heritage that bind us together as a distinctive community in an otherwise globalized culture.
Historical inquiry is, in fact, critical understanding of our own identity and this is exactly the time when we have to make the painful distinctions between the inessential and the indispensable in our public institutions. Such occasions warrant history’s long look at our national makeup. This is not insular in its vision. The way we have conducted ourselves in the world for good as well as bad, is integral to the self-examining story. How Indian are we; how indianite are we in our habits and strategies? There is no hope of answers to those kinds of questions without history's help.
Of the uses of history, this much (and more) can be said: inter alia, it equips you with evidence and capacity to decide which version of an event is most credible; analytical knowledge of the nature of power; an understanding of the way in which some societies acquire wealth while others lose it and others again never attain it. Among other themes of History we find the follies and pity of war; the distinctions between just and unjust conflicts; a clear-eyed vision of the trappings and the aura of charisma, the weird magic that turns sovereignty into majesty; the still more peculiar surrender to authority grounded in revelation, be that a sacred book or a constitution, invoked as if it too were supernaturally ordained and hence unavailable to contested interpretation.
