Lol a lot of my friends families migrated from Indian side but they never admit it and claim their ancestry to Arabs/Turks/afghans….😂😂
@@gpgautam1842 but it is true that , more syed are in sub continent than arabia , because they migrated due to threats from ummayyads and abbasids
Arabs and turks are not our ancestors but most pashtoons from kpk and balochistan are afghans
@@shabbirahmed2191That still doesn't make pakhtoons Arabs or Turks
@@abhirajarora7631 indeed,pakhtoons are an iranian people,not turkic or arabic.Half of Pakistan in culturally persian yet we claim to be people who are from a completely different geographical region.
YES, and this is why it is extremely difficult to reason with many Pakistanis on social media because of all the delusions, incorrect history, and huge identity crisis they live with.
Some lies are fed to citizens of every nation by their governments but Pakistanis are on different level. This book can be a good start for some.
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
So that means that,
Napoleon himself is a lie
The ending lines were powerful sir! We always need someone to remind us to hold onto hope as Pakistanis!
Going straight to read it.
You and Syed Muzammil shah are doing great service for installing the right softwares in the mind of our people ❤
My wishes and prayers are with you to be safe and successful and keep enlighten us.
Do read it, but keep your faith safe from ppl who mock our religion, just advise.
@@anasqureshi2479 just 'a piece of advice ' not advise. I am pretty sure that book will not have anything against your religion, it's about your fake history and perhaps a bit of myth Busters regarding the core of extremism and base of hatred you guys have for India.
Just a suggestion from an avid viewer and fan, the memes cut in between the serious message kind of undermined your well-thought out review of the book. Other than that, happy to say I'll be immediately buying this.
Agreee
Here in India we are kept away from history. Earlier history was of congress and leftist and now we are shifting it towards bjp. Earlier we used to over praise gandhi and nehru. Now we try to blame them.
Both are wrong, history should tell truth and readers should understand that leaders were humans after all they do have greed and can make mistakes.
[I'm a bjp supporter but don't like their twisting facts in this case]
So finally someone from india who knows history is distorted everywhere not just pak
Stop spreading miss information. I am from India and I am in class 10 and just read the history Ncert Nationalism in India. It’s all about how Gandhi helped and did different revolts to unite the Indians spread nationalism and gain Independence.
+ Indian ncert books are unbiased and never stated their own opinion. And Gadhi ji is not showed in a bad light he is kind of praised.
@levicodm1961 the op commenter is spreading lies
@@HistoricalRecapMemewhat about international press they also praise Gandhi and his methods after mandela and Martin Luther King he was most studied individual in foreign universities
Brother
A very good analytical approach. I had worked with many Pakistani Police and paramilitary personnel at Kosova in UN Mission 2005-06.
I was astonished to learn that they didn't know much about their history. They were taught to believe that there was no history or great empires before the spread of Islam in this region i. e. Undivided India. They were practically ignorant regarding Hadappa &Mohan Jo daro civilisation nor about Taxila University. I told them, see brothers you are the real owner of that heritage as it is now in your territory and be proud on it. We the Indian living 1000-1200 miles from these places still boast of our ancient heritage and progress but you living over it are denying this legacy. It was a shattering experience for me. My Pakistani brothers, we as a whole nation were torch bearers for other civilisations Accept it and be proud.
During my Masters last year at University of Delhi, professor asked to read this and its a must read book
Konsa clg?
@@ashutoshsharma-qk8yx Kirori Mal college , but classes for Masters only happen in social science department faculty DU
@@sikandarzaidi4561 sry for asking u gave entrance for masters or merit! I m in DU too in last year UG want to to do masters in DU !
@@ashutoshsharma-qk8yx For Delhi university graduates, merit and entrance both ways are open...generally if you have more than 8 CGPA then probably you will get seat for masters in DU north campus. I got 7.6 CGPA in geography honours and i didn't make it in DU campus for masters. 😂
And for outside DU students entrance exam is the only option to peruse masters in DU.
@@nirpendrakumar4943 I think that system. Is now changed! My cgpa is also around 7.6 till my 4th sem!
I read this book like a year ago. It's a real eye opener and forces you to question all those years you spent in school getting indoctrinated.
Keep up the good work Shehzad!
Alright
Our worthy teacher taught us this book in 2015 as part of our course. May he live happily, where ever he lives.

I am history teacher and I have been teaching history for more than 18 years. You have raised valid points . The history we are teaching is not giving historical and political consciousness .We need to review history curriculum that inculcate critical thinking .
🙌
Thanks for recommending this book,,,definitely will go through this soon.
Please continue this series. It would be much appreciated if you review books.
I read this book 3 years ago and was eye-opening & Making of Pakistan by K K Aziz is my current read.When I listen you ,just smile that someone is doing the job that I once realized that I should do this.

Where I will find MURDER OF HISTORY
Already read the book back in 2019 after the najam sethi reference to this book,, but your analysis was great,,,loved the concept and keep making this bookclub video series 🙌💯
Thanks for taking my suggestion and speaking in Urdu.
Well explained Shehzad❤️ you are such an enlightening Gem we are blessed with 💫. Keep Educating us all and bring more people with you.
great video, looking forward to more installments in this series!
Can't wait for more. This was a good idea!
(Ps can you talk about the issues in Balochistan with some historical context, or maybe invite Nida Kirmani to the show?)
especially downloaded and started reading... thanks allot for motivating us to read books especially in pakistan context.
🙌
Pakistanis must read the book"India bharat and pakistan,the constitutional journey of sandwiched civilization" by jsai deepak.Book is based on origin and history of 2nation theory and birth of pakistan
I was one of those people too who used to say "iss qaum ko danda hi chahiyay"... but as I grew older I realised, what I really meant was, we as a nation (and all nations by the same logic) need rule of law, enforcement of law and a swift delivery of justice. The civilised societies have all 3 of those in spades, and we have none of them pretty much.
I remember during the pandemic, in Australia, 'goras' rampaged supermarkets to grab toilet paper and ration supplies... it was utter chaos. Every human being reverted to their original 'caveman' type as soon as enforcement of law was lifted. The "civilised" society wasn't civil anymore. And when the "danda" came back, everyone fell back in line. We need the same here. One rule for all, elite, poor et al... and swift delivery of justice. (And no I don't mean the 'danda' of Army as I believe they're deserving of a danda themselves.
I choked on my food when I read the last line😂
Very well done and astonishing initiative to educate youth and Pakistani about the reality which is been Hinden from us decades before👍👍 recommend same kind of books we'll appreciate tnk u. I was considering it same pak studies book as I have it but didn't read it but now I'm gonna for sure read it
Much needed initiative please keep on posting videos on books and it's impact
Congratulations for the new segment Shehzad. Just a suggestion: you can do away with the memes as they are not adding any value to this already short video. Instead, add your favorites lines or memorable/powerful quotes from the book you are reviewing. Good luck and looking forward to hearing more such reviews.
Shehzad Bhai... I failed to attend this book review session and I regret it..
Please continue informing us with such books.
Dear Shahzad, I have read bits and pieces of this book sometimes ago. I can bet not many Pakistanis would watch your video. If you launch a discussion on key points of this book, I bet, you will get much larger viewership and message will go long way. If you involve such people from Pakistani society who can influence making right of this wrongs of Pakistan history then sure Pakistan will become a better state. Thanks
Inam simply loving this video.. this is really a very good book... in a nutshell you explained amazingly... worth sharing video
Grt initiative shehzad bhai .. ❤❤
This reminds me of '1984 by George Orwell'. How to "re-write" Histroy and the Present...
Loved the synchronization of audio and image at 2:30
Hats off, this is summarizing things pretty well.
Land reforms are a must..... I lost a lot of land but today I see everyone happy n it's a great feeling.
This is a must-read book for every Pakistani. Good choice
بہت خوب، بہت خوبصورت، سچائی اور حقائق بہت خوبصورت لگتے ہیں. اور بہت خوبصورت ہوتے ہیں.
Amazing video Shehzad!!!
This ws nice. We should have such short videos more often.
don't forget to say Bismillah

Loved the episode. Many Thanks
Thanks Shehzad you mentioned this book. I read this book almost 3 years by accident 😂😂
Think you need to make a docu series. Bring on some good film makers, and make a graphic timeline from the beginning till now, talking in detail about every little incident, cause n effect of every policy l, basically to show why we are where we are and what should be done to move the goal post back to where it should be.
Think the people of pakistan need a clear, unbiased, un-redacted version of history to better understand their future.
Ghias bhai. Great initiation. Sir mark my words. You have burried the seeds of the Revolution
Now I understand why it was hard to reason with some of the Pakistani brothers I met online.
Same feeling. One of them was trying to convince me that Pakistan won the war of kargil and it is still under pakistan control.
Ignorance is both sides of the border. Politics of both countries feed us lies everyday to keep us blissful and ignorant. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Subcontinent history.
@@mrjibran421 we are not fed lies!
@@mrjibran421 it's pakistan who r suffering from lies.
Indians know their history very well ... we all protected our cultured from islamic invaders we never ended like u
@@kanishkkumar5431 Time for you guys to wake up and smell the coffee. The Indian govt. lies to its ppl as much as any other govt in the world. You can hate Pak and muslims as much as you want but it wouldn't change the fact that India has one of the biggest economical divides between the rich and poor. Our governments want us to keep fighting one another while the rich fill their pockets with tax payers' money
You are doing this for the betterment of Pakistan, please keep it up, Allah aap ko apni hifzo amaan main rakhay...Pakistanion ki aankhain kholo...or shorrr macahao, or ooncha bolo , or jagao is qome ko ke is ke saath haath ho gya hai, abhi bhi waqt hain uth jao.............

Yes. Pakistan studies does not indulge in telling the truth about clergy. Our secular culture and Bhutto's role in Islamizing the nation. The persecution of Ahmadis etc.

Its tough to study and think thats y we blindly follow the same pattern as we were taught earlier.
One of the splendid books. It is the book that drifts the entire thinking.
Thats why i always says " we need quality of education not quantity or building of school colleges
If Pakistan had become independent on August 15 instead of August 14, then why did all the people who migrated here celebrate Independence Day on August 14?
They celebrated on 15th August for the first few years.
You r real diamond.... congratulations Pakistan
I have this book very factable book about pakistan 🇵🇰 keep it up Brother good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌
Thanks. I will definitely read this book. What I've observed over time that both the sides - pro Pakistanis and those who are confused - are agreed that our text books do not represent the true history. However, there is a difference between both, pro Pakistanis do the research and through the archives they prove that many myths that are floating around now a day - either contiously or not - are not correct. For example the Lahore resolution: it was Muslim League collective decision in 1941 to celebrate it on 23rd March. Hence, it is not the murder of history. Similarly, celebrating the independence on 14th August was also an agreed decision. Though the original announcement came on 15th but leadership at that time decided to celebrate it on 14th. So if you think with an open mind, it's not the murder of history. The other set of historians mostly refer to books like this and many other books that do not reflect the ideas of Muslim leadership and their vision of Pakistan. Behind these date changes, they question the collective wisdom of Muslim leadership at that time. And then, they mixed up what happened after 1953 with the events before independence, just to prove that the idea of Pakistan was not right. Then they bring the national anthem issue saying it was written by Mr. Jagannath Azad, and many other items to confuse our minds.
It is true that Allama Iqbal didn't use the word Pakistan in his Allahabad speech, but it doesn't mean that his idea of Muslim independence was incorrect. Similarly, behind the 23rd March issue, criticizing the resolution itself is not correct.
To summarize, I request to read the history as the student of history - over and above any prejudice or favor - specially research every event on the timeline with all other factors. Do not get confused with the events after the independence, especially the mind conditioning through military regimes.
Thank you ❤️
PS: I like the work of Mr. Khurram Ali Shafiq. You may consider his extensive research on Pakistan and the history of the subcontinent. It will add another perspective whether you agree with him or not.
If true stated facts become wrong and some random decisions by some elite group start to dictate everything, the fate will always be dismal as is at present. Cheers 🥂 your never change attitude amazes me😄.
BRUH I WAS LITERALLY WATCHING A VIDEO ABOUT THIS BOOK... the universe is giving me a sign
Wow, so surprised to see no toxic backwards and foolish fanatic comments here.
You have a very clean and open minded following, kudos!
Please do continue this series.
When mother of Pakistan was being accused of adultery.
Everything was destroyed their.
I learnt some bitter truth related to our very own establishment and their doings in 1960-70s when Bangladesh got independence and i couldn't be happier for them to have their land to themselves where at least not such generals exist who have sold their souls for some money
Thanks for talking about this. The Pakistan qom is neither “jahil” nor needs “danda”, well said!
Until u change ur mentality 🤪🤪...
India ki history pado sab door hojayega...
Google karo authentic history ha ....kisike baap ka likha story nhi jesa Pakistan ka ha .
I'm so proud to be part of the nation who've over thrown three dictators out of power. We're such a stubborn, brave and resilient nation at the same time. We should be proud of ourselves. We just need to accept some truths. And bro thanks to you for being a truth teller.
But probably the question should be why did even a second dictator come to power or even the third, despite the bravery and resilience you allude to. I am not blaming anyone here brother, but the Pakistani population should really think why is it that Pakistan and it’s people allow a dictator or authoritarian government so frequently?

I have translated this book into Urdu. It is published by Vanguard .....Pakistani Tareekh ka Qatal
I am getting this book - thanks Shehzad
Reads Indias partition history... every thing is authentic.. nothing biased on religion... except reality why was Pakistan made wht where jinnah s mad mind behind this...whom u call ur father of the nation...u get to know how he used Islam as a weapon...
You must remember that the people of Pakistan 🇵🇰 were not consulted over the creation of the state. The ashrafiya Muslims of North India 🇮🇳 started agitating for power on the ground that Muslims cannot live with the kafir Hindu. These people created a settler state called the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and imposed a barbaric language on people who had a rich history and literature. Also the Muslim League did not have s y presence in Pakistan until Jinnah came.
Despite failing of Pakistan, Indian muslim will again vote for Pakistan

Pakistani mindset had been systematically twisted to suit certain narrations that's expedient to the Pakistani Army practically and Theoreticallay Religion was brought in, to lull the People from getting proper Education, which resulted in the Jamindary class Lording over the Awam,Unfortunately sad.

yup- the Lahore Resolution was "presented" on 23 March but passed on 24
I have nearly finished first chapter

Brilliant!
Islam is the root cause, not just in Pakistan, all over the islamic world.
Yep a religion that teaches hate of infidels, idolators and homosexuals is bound to be consumed in the fire of hell it wants to send the others in.
3 generations are lost in sense after independence. Akhand Bharat chanting people should realize how bad these rogue 3 generations are.
Is it available in urdu? Plz i need this
You next book review should be Military Inc. by Ayesha Siddiqa.
Public opinion is a beast it has to be tamed . Its a saying.
Bhai, Pakistan mai fake history bana ke padhayi jati rahi hai India ki nafrat badhane ke liye since your inception. Result hai ke Pakistani reh gaye hain...na ghar ke na ghat ke, just like the dhobi ka kutta! You have become a radicalized society full of a jihadi mindset! Salute to K K Aziz ji for calling a spade a spade! We Indians use our jazba and jihad for the betterment of our people and country! And bhai, unlearning is very difficult when brainwashing has been done so expertly over a long period of time! When you say Pakistani jaahil nahi hain, unhe banaya gaya hai...that doesn't change the fact ke majority Pakistani jaahil hain in 2023! Good program! Jai Hind 🙏 🇮🇳
well said ...
Some aspects of bashing UP leaders before partition are without explicit references!

I don't think that the use of memes in the video was wrong at all.Memes were related to subjects of the video so,I think taking a chill pill is a solution for that 😀
