Abstract

History of Pakistan has been really complex and every time a historian tried to write about a historical event, it did come under fire of criticism. Critiques roused questions whether history or the events a historian gives off are right, based on solid truths or delusions. The historians tried their best to write down the historical events of Pakistan. There have been conventional or traditional writers and also there are writers who have marked history in a postmodern approach. At the end it is always up to the readers that how they perceive history depending on what approach they believe in. But there has always been a need to compare the historians of Pakistan in order to differentiate between their works and make it easier for the common men to choose in what they believe is true and what is not according to literature they have. Pakistan has made both conventional and modernist writers of history. There are famous names that have extraordinary work regarding the history of Pakistan.
