REEL HISTORY: Let me tell you why January isn’t a natural New Year, but a political one.From Mesopotamian Akitu to Persian Nowruz, from March in early Rome to spring-based calendars in India and China, ancient civilisations began the year in spring, not mid-winter. But Happy New Year to you!. Wishing you a thoughtful 2026, full of moments worth remembering. #history #newyear #Islamic #persian #india
