Indo Pak History
 

HI,

I think i owe my score to [b]Lane Poole and K.B.Syed[/b] .Every body discouraged me for opting indian history.But I was left with Hobson's choice of either going for it or going for an extra effort and agony in any other subject.

The only consideration which i had while opting for indian history was that it would save my time for pak affairs.And alhamdolillah it did.There was nothing special which i had done while attempting these papers.Simply tried to follow the style of prominent historians withot bias.I had read Sarkar's book as well to see the hindu point of view viz-z-viz subcontinent.

But if u read [b]Lane poole's history[/b] u would be amazed that his single sentence elaborates what the other historians try to narrate in the whole para.

Imagine while depicting [b]Hamayun's character[/b] and death he [b]says'HE TUMBLED THROUGH LIFE AND TUMBLED OUT OF IT..........HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE SADDLE WHEN HE WAS ON THE CRADLE,HE FORGAVE WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE PUNISHED...........HIS NAME MEANS FORTUNATE ,NEVER HAS BEEN AN EMPEROR SO MISCALLED'(BEAUTIFUL)[/b]

Similarly [b]K.B.Syed[/b] had his own creative style.The terms which he uses for various indian leaders beyond doubt bear elusive testimony to his imagination and creativity.For [b]Jinnah[/b] he uses the term [b]THE COLD BLOODED LOGICIAN[/b]............then goes on to say ;[b]JINNAH WHO BECAME THE QUAID-E-AZAM AFTER THE LAHORE RESOLUTION..........Calls Iqbal A RELUCTANT POLITICIAN............A VISIONARY WHOSE YEARNINGS OF PAN ISLAMISM HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT ON PAKISTAN'S FOREIGN POLIC[/b]Y........See the choice of words.

I think what ghalib and iqbal have done for urdu,these two have done for otherwise beleaguered history of india.As far as Muslim point of view is concerned S.M.Ikram's book is comprehensive.But of course it is for obvious reasons not devoid of bias.

The [b]most important[/b] thing for indian history is its [b]mcqz[/b].For this i prepared [b]engr.somroo's booklet[/b](hopefully the name is correct)I don't have any material with me right now ,thats why i'm not sure about the name.However one thing is pretty sure that the booklet was compiled by an engineer.Hopefully information would be helpful.

Dear fellow, the post partition is a bit controversial as some praise for the policies of F.M Ayub Khan and Bhutto others denies ! So try to be a bit chosy regarding checking out for different sources in the post partition era.

Nonetheless, the most imporant factors are political development in the country including constution making, debacle of East Pakistan and the policies with regard to education, economy and poverty. But the current aspect is the most important which include the policies by the Federal as well as Provinical Government/s. But your views should be Pakistanized means these should be based on views of the governmental policies showing its broader/beneficial aspects.

In this context, you may like to check Pakistan Affairs by Ikram Rabbani and of Shahid's (Imtiaz & Memoona) as these give out a birds eye view.

So far as websites are concerned, you may like to check those listed at Sr. 2 and 3 of the posting by Zohaib, as that listed on Sr. 1 covers pre-partition era and something about India, for which we are least concerned.

Hope it would be providing a bit information by coming down from the above postings.
