In order to achieve a high status or an important figure in life, you must first believe it is possible. Too many kids are dropping out of school, being incarcerated, becoming

      Kanishk Tharoor on Writing Outside of Western Traditions

      Mar 16, 2017

      For years I knew Kanishk Tharoor primarily as the author of thoughtful essays about history, in the broadest sense: not just what happened in the past but also how humans have explored the past, made sense of the past, contested the past. So when I s

      Iremember as a young adult attending school, my least favorite subject was history . My favorite subject was science. Science was the subject that caught my interest right away. In fact, I would read science books instead of comi c books. Now history, on the other hand, you couldn’t get me to read a history book if there was a dollar bill and a candy bar after every page. I hated history, and I never did well in class early on. It just was so boring to me. If you ask me why, I would guess and say, there wasn’t anything in the early history books that would capture my attention. I would lose focus after a short period. 

      Today, it is my favorite subject by far. I try to learn and understand history as often as possible. I am so heavy into history, people ask me all the time, Why aren’t you a history professor? In fact, some of my close friends call me Professor. 

      I’m not sure of the exact sudden change; however, I believe it was when I started college at Long Beach State. Although I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area (Berkeley and Oakland), I went to college in Long Beach. Long Beach State had an excellent black history program. I am very blessed to have attended because it changed my life and the way I view life.
