The Pakistani Historian

In the preface, Aziz recalls numerous instances of his humiliation in front of his colleagues and students. Whenever asked, he could never produce resources on Pakistan s history from Pakistani historians. The book is an analysis of why this was so, why the historian profession failed. To quote Aziz himself, If 5 or 6 historians write and publish in a country of 120 million people, there is something wrong with the historians and with the people.
