History is a fascinating subject. After all, it teaches you about past events and the people responsible for them. India has seen drastic changes in almost everything, from being a British colony to being ruled by the British people to gaining Independence. All these are still preserved because of our ancestors in the form of documents, forms, receipts, passports, etc.
Someone on Reddit posted some documents from pre-independence India, which led to the discovery of more documents from that period.
