Hello,
If there is any other course that equally interests you as much as history, then you may give it a though to pursue major in the same along with having history as elective, this way you can also prepare for upsc having history as optional at least you will be well acquainted with the syllabus, and talking from the perspective of UPSC, you can go for graduation in political science, geography, economics, public administration, sociology to name a few as there is considerable overlap of the syllabus of these subjects with that of general studies and optional subjects, the rest is up to you, think clearly about your choices and then make a decision regarding it, you can also discuss it with your parents, they too will be able to guide you better by providing their inputs, but eventually what matters is your choice, your interest and this should be aligned with your career goals,
All the best!
