As Salam Alaikum team, this document is my attempt to maintain high standard and
commonality in our project.
If we do “go with the flow” type of research then we will not be able to include all the
different angles/perspectives we can visualise history.
So I have made to make it simpler by providing the questions which we should search
for as part of this project. So that it works as a guide to include all perspectives. Since
these questions are decided by me, as a result of which, there will be my own biases
which can make our project skewed. So, please feel free to criticize and add more
questions to this list.

Categories
We can broadly divide the entire questionnare into three main categories

1. Individuals

2. Events

3. Population/society.(Although, this was not asked to be done, this will indirectly

enhance our understanding of Individuals and events)

Criteria
What sir have told in the session that we have to include major events and influencing
personalities. But ‘major’ is very subjective term and we all have different boundaries of
what is considered as ‘major’. I think, we should only include only those individuals and
events whose impact was for atleast 100 years. Anybody and Any event which was not
have a direct impact on the population after 100 years should be rejected.

Project - 1 History 1
 My reason to set this treshold of 100:

we do not have time to include every single detail.

If Event/Individual is unable have impact for such short duration then it is not
significant enough. Such minor events/personalities, do not have much contribution
to reshapping history.
