Why do you think ordinary men and women did not generally keep records of what they did?

Explanation

We think ordinary men and women did not generally keep records of what they did due to the following reasons:

(b) Even some of them were not literate even after the knowledge of the script.
(c) They were not interested in such works.
(d)They did not know the importance of keeping records of the events. The lack of historical sense was mainly responsible for it.
