Answer 2

Answer:

• People often ask about the practical value of history.
• The answer to the  question about the nature of applied history answers this question as well.  
• The visible and invisible relics of the past exist in the present.
• We nurture some  kind of curiosity, attraction toward them.
• We wish to know more about their  history because they represent the creative thoughts and traditions of our  ancestors.
• It is our heritage.
• It helps in building our identity.
• The history of our  heritage links us with our origin.
• Hence it becomes necessary to preserve and  conserve it for future, for our benefit as well as for the benefit of future  generations.

Hope it helps you :)
