News about fabrication of Pakistani textbooks to send out hate "India messages" caught my attention,to tell the truth i was laughing my heart out at the way things have been presented in Pakistani textbooks....
funny thing is the same has happened In India too,
we find out who was oppressive and who were victims according to the whims of the HRD ministry and the party which comes to power.
Hell it made me realize most of what we thought was "history" could be fucking wrong
I know many wont give a damn about this......
But as a lover of history and the values it thought me i cannot ignore it...
All this begets the question as to what is History.......
History is the study of the past, with special attention to the written record of the activities of human beings over time
yeah right its no longer just this.............
history was and always will be a tool to manufacture hate,loyalty in short, "human emotions"
they say history is always written by winners......
So it seems we might never get the true picture
which for a lover of the subject and whole concept of history like me
is indeed a fucking sad situation..........

History is like a news report in the past tense. Bias is unavoidable. An unbiased record of an event would actually be pretty uninspiring. And I guess there s no black or white when it comes to any matter which involves us good for nothing humans..just a shade of gray. So all we can do is read something and then analyze it through the lens of our own beliefs.
