Rethinking History: Constructing the Past in the Present | Mazhar Arif

    14:10 Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured Multan and made it part of Punjab, it was part of Sindh when Mohammad Bin Qasim conquered it. Similarly, Peshawar was a part of Afghanistan and Maharaja Ranjit conquered it and made it a part of Punjab and when British came after the death of Ranjit Singh they created a new province NWFP, which Afghanistan still claims as theirs and they do not recognize the Durand Line…the current border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the say Afghanistan is up to river Indus…..

    Many in the audience seem to be unable to catch the point. If one does not know one's history, one is rootless and unable to understand his/her present and future. No one regards such people with esteem. And such a nation can not progress economically or intellectually.

    I am surprised by the low attendance. I expected a lot of people. The viewers of this video will make up for the low attendance.

    I don't know why Punjabis, who form 51% of Pakistan's population, join others in maligning Punjab. Urdu was not Punjab's native language, but they adopted it and owned it. The first dissolution of assembly was by a Pashtun Ghulam Muhammad. The first doctrine of necessity was by a Pashtun Justice Munir. The first martial law was imposed by a Bengali Iskandar Mirza with the Pashtun Ayub Khan as the administrator. The first three wars with India were started by Pashtuns Akbar Khan, Musa Khan and Yahya Khan. The latter was also one of the founding fathers of Bangladesh. Jinnah, who imposed Urdu on Bengalis, was not a Punjabi. In fact, before Nawaz Sharif, there were only two Punjabi heads of Pakistan for one year each (excluding the dictator Zia who was from Indian Punjab): The fact that 51% of Pakistan has allowed minorities to rule them and only recently decided to exercise their authority (after Musharraf who was a Muhajir) shows how big of a heart they have.

    27:45 I agree with this person…”modern ways of learning and modern ways of earning” … and I would add modern ways of thinking…..if we want to survive in this modern age…..and I am not saying history is not important…. it is important to know where we are coming from but it is more important to know where we want to go….

    Few ppl made spot-on correct statements -- Pakistan mein jyada tar Maazi ki baat karte hai ya Mustakbil ki (wo bhi khwaab o khyaal ke basis pe!)... But hardly anyone talks about AAJ KA HAAL, esp things like Population problem and solutions for that 👍👍😊
