Karachi
Historians should caste history in the light of the issues and problems of the masses and how the commonfolk helped shape history, rather than on the grandeur of past rulers which is just meant to pander to our whims of pristine glory.
This view was put forth by Dr Jaffer Ahmed, Chairman, Pakistan Study Centre, Karachi University, while speaking at the launch of a set of books on Pakistan’s history and sociology by noted historian, Dr Mubarak Ali, in addition to his autobiography and a compilation of his columns appearing in newspapers, at the penultimate session of the day’s proceedings on the second day of the International Urdu Conference at the Arts Council Friday evening.
