(Parallel Lines of History)
تلخیص
There are always two ways to describe history; one is associated with the kings and high-ups whereas the other is linked with the common folk. The history described by the aristocrats cannot be considered as authentic. Same is the case with the Punjab where rulers made a history and the Sufis preserved another history that is true and authentic. These two modes of history go side by side in every era. The British twisted the history as per their own needs but public and sufis saved all the happenings. Treatment of history in different ways describes the role of kings and historians. After partition of 1947, there are again two groups, two histories; one belongs to oppressors and the other belongs to the masses. In this article, it is emphasized to preserve true and authentic history for new generations irrespective of different viewpoints about historic description.
