Abstract

History is a great teacher for the coming generations as it consists of deeds and mistakes made by erstwhile kings, warriors, social and religious leaders and thinkers and important personalities who could change the course of life and destiny of persons, communities, states, countries and the world at large. The worst thing that happened while writing of the history of any community, religious sect and nation is that it has always been subjective and biased as the historians and the persons who prevailed upon historians have given their own versions and interpretations, mostly what suited to their personal and community interests. History of India and Pakistan before 1947 was one and the same but in school and college curriculums of history teaching of both the countries after partitions one surprisingly detects are the vast differences in the narration of the same event and persons in focus. It becomes difficult for the young learner of history of India and Pakistan to come to the final conclusion of happening of the event and the causes of behind that particular occurrence.
