about the Department of History

HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

Sir Syed College was established in the year 1967 by the Kannur District Muslim Educational Association. The Muslims in Kannur, Calicut and Kasaragod District were educationally very backward in those days. Hence the college was established at Taliparamba mainly to cater the educational needs of the Muslims of those regions. The college is named after Sir Syed Ahammad Khan to perpetuate to the memory of this great leader, who was the pioneer of Muslim Educational Movement in India.

The College was started as a junior College in 1967 under the University of Kerala. With the establishment of Calicut University in 1968, it came under it. When the Kannur University came in to vogue in 1996, the College came under its affiliation. The College was upgraded in 1969 and B.A. History was established in the same year. With the commencement of the B.A. course in Functional English in 1997, the teachers of this department also began to engage classes for its subsidiary paper ‘Social and Cultural History of Britain’

Turning Point in Indian History

Ashoka's Kalinga invasion took place in the eighth year of his reign was the only aggressive war fought by the third Mauryan emperor, Ashoka, and the suffering he saw during this war helped turn the Emperor away from violence and towards a more peaceful path. It is one... of the most fiercely fought battles .This distressed Ashoka, who came to realize that all of these deaths were entirely his fault as the aggressor. Within four years his inscriptions stated that even 1,000th a part of the cost of the war would now be a matter of deep regret. Ashoka renounced aggressive war, and spent the rest of his reign promoting Buddhism and concentrating on the enlightened government of his empire (defensive wars continued to be fought around the Empire's borders). This is that is written on one of the Rock Edicts "Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Priyadarsi, conquered the Kalingas eight years after his coronation. One hundred and fifty thousand were deported, one hundred thousand were killed and many more died (from other causes). After the Kalingas had been conquered, Beloved-of-the-Gods came to feel a strong inclination towards the Dhamma, a love for the Dhamma and for instruction in Dhamma. Now Beloved-of-the-Gods feels deep remorse for having conquered the Kalingas." Rock Edict No.13
