Please, teach this history in short!

Before, the day of exam, my neighbour Pinky aunt's younger son Vandit came to me eating burger.
"Didi, Please teach me this history in short!" he requested.
Saying this he opened a brand new and fresh book.
History in SHORT. These were the two words having opposite meanings with their explicit significance which were anagogic to that little boy.
"History is the collection of old things, so why is your book looking new?" I asked curiously on seeing the newfangled and untouched book.
"Just as history is saved in a museum, I've cared this book." he answered.
In this way the book equipped with tender loving care was handled to me.
"Fight to finish, please teach me fast!" he said over enthusiastically.
"How come five hundred years' history can be taught in a day?" I exclaimed.
 "Not in a day, one hour didi." he jolted me subsequently.
I asked, "What are you gonna do thereupon?"
"I've play-station, Xbox and many more productive things." said Vandit.
In past children used to spend time in playground. I was partially able to teach him history, but he certainly taught me present and future of nation in an hour. We started from Lakshmibai, "What's the length?" he asked. I exclaimed as such there is no need to care for her length.
 "Not her length but the length of her short note. Oh! Its 6 and a half inch. Please take her as an option, take other one." he answered.
Then came Gandhiji, "I'll finish him in 4-5 lines." he declared. Godse finished him with 3 shots, instead he wanted to do the same task in few lines. "I would finish it by writing 2-3 lines of Sonia Gandhi and 2-3 lines of Rahul Gandhi. Tathastu!!
Furthermore, came Gopal Krishna Gokhle. "In the name itself there's gokhle le (mug-up)". said Vandit.
In the history book, Veer Sawarkar, Lokmanya Tilak, all were waiting for their turn with a juvenile smile but Vandit went out with his friends and said , "Gandhi and Gokhle are done! Sawarkar and Tilak put on hold."
