History is something that very few people have been doing while everyone else was ploughing fields and carrying water buckets.
This is Mur 
@DinkaChica
But ploughing fields and fetching water is also history without which kings and historians would be dead.
@mur2501 absolutely true. But history here meant the tangible stuff like books and monuments that only document the elites. Everyone knows Shah Jahan "made" Taj Mahal, but who knows names of the labourers whose blood and sweat actually went in it?
@DinkaChica
Can't really blame the writers of that history, they were paid by the same kings 
They would loose their head if the king wasn't pleased with their work 
@mur2501 do you get off by creating conflict where there wasn't any at all? No one's blaming anyone.
@DinkaChica
I was just telling history of history 
Also more interesting is the history which not comes out of history books.
