What’s Wrong with the Teaching of History in Pakistan? | Shakil Chaudhary and Dr. A. H. Nayyar

[@purushetty7458]

Such a pleasure to listen to Shakil Saab....He is such an authority on the India Pakistan history and he does so in such a fluid and articulate manner......I wish we Indians get a chance to see him and hear him in person....I would happily pay to listen to him!

[@safdarakbari]

Thanks for a civilized comment. Otherwise I think most other comments have been made not to add value but to spew hatred

[@Goldstar-89]

Feel very sad to see that so few people of Pakistan are attending to such an important issue.

[@kedarnathpatnaik7168]

The poor attendance is due to radicalization of population. They don’t want to revisit history.

[@mahendrakesari2029]

A session like this in any college of India would have brought in hundreds of students and listeners, with a jam packed hall. Sad to see how this has been received in Pakistan

[@niyajee]

Thanks To Jinnah. Pakistan bana ke hum Indian ke sath bahut acha kiya

[@rajarora2097]

If a debate like this was done in India the hall would have been full an hour before the start .

[@nivsarkargaurav]

Good to see handful people who really want to know the real history of IDEA OF PAKISTAN.

[@RDJS0072]

Shakil Chaudhary and Dr. A. H. Nayyar, thank you for the insight on the history lesson! Much appreciated, love and respect from Bharath.

[@harishchopra847]

Such meetings must be organised in future

[@AliHossain-kn6kf]

Pakistan will never become a sensible country unless the story of the 1971 massacre of East Pakistan by Pakistan army forces is told in history books in their school and colleges. Facts are many but the truth is that Bangladesh hasn't forgotten 1971.😭

[@shaileshkulkarni6525]

It's indeed commendable to see these two learned, honest and sincere gentlemen engaged into such an important discussion. It is equally sad that such a scarce attendance. However, those in attendance, too, have my appreciation and thumbs up. All great events have a small beginning. Good luck to all.

[@guldukan]

can someone explain how did Jinnah a liberal lawyer educated in western university who enjoyed cigar, whiskey and eating pork decided to create Islamic republic of Pakistan based on Islam

[@StudyingReligions]

Shakil Chaudhary saheb 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@bobbyminhas5821]

It's surprising because in INDIA it is the opposite. Infact in our school textbooks Mughal Era has been glorified more and Akbar is called THE GREAT. and Mughal Era is called "MUGHAL E AZAM. There is a mention of Hindu Kings too but not to the same glorified level as Mughal era. The main reason must be that after Independence 1947, our four or five continuous EDUCATION MINISTERS WERE MUSLIMS....So for good 25 to 30;years our national education ministers were MUSLIMS

[@Goldstar-89]

The society which doesn't give importance to their history goes down to their graveyard.

[@cmramakrishnan9570]

👏👏an excellent discussion led by Dr Chaudhary and Dr Nayyar. such open debates add to the credibility of 'the black hole' for its ability identify sensitive but crucial subjects and experts to present their views to the public.

[@disorderedenthropy]

Talking about true history will soon be outlawed in Pakistan. It’ll be equivalent to blasphemy.

[@shahidzaman2354]

Hopefully such kind of initiative would impact and people would tend to think differently.

[@brajanarayan]

Regards to Shakil Saheb.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@SAMRIT12345]

Really appreciate you all intellectual Assets like two seniors but i am also disappointed that only few people are there.i am from prayagraj, india learnt alot through valuable discussion.🙏🙏💐💐

[@Singh.Balwinder-s7s]

Sad to see 20 people in such a class and can imagine feature of Pakistan from here.

[@OPKakroo]

Excellent Talk. Thanks to Dr Nayyar and Mr Shakil.

[@0000000316rs]

Jinnah was politically over ambitious person and not at all religious. Just become leader of Muslims. He took advantage of elite class of Muslims who worried about their property and helped him to separate Pakistan from India. Because of his poor vision today his followers reached to baggers like situation

[@Saurabh20000]

I have read pakistan studies via digital books just for curiosity and trust me it was completely garbage full of non sense things and more like plot less bollywood movie. The whole book was written on groud of Hindu vs Muslim plot.

[@Malice-Towards-One-and-All]

It is refreshing to see that some efforts are being made on introspection and speaking the truth about the history of Pakistan . You have to have more such discussions and more people have to join in the audience .A Pakistan wilh right sense of history is a precondition for the development

[@udaybhanu6125]

The society that doesn't respect it's history is doomed to disaster. You will know who you are and know who your ancestors were.

[@Danger_bhai531]

Why the hall is not crowded? If this will held in India people will rush early to get seat but in pakistan not 30 people are interested. May God bless jhahils country

[@safdarakbari]

Please grow up and come out of your hatred and comment in a civilized manner.

[@nivsarkargaurav]

I hope these 21 people can digest the real history and are out of their IDENTITY CRISIS.

[@ibratnak]

There is no such thing as "real" history. It is just an anecdotal account written by victors and scholars, and every nation manipulates it to suit its narrative. The only utility of history is to invoke a sentiment of national cohesion. But Pakistanis, continuing their legacy of polluting everything from religion to science, are using history as a weapon against their own existence, and are deluded into thinking that truth is the answer to everything when Machiavellian politics dominates everywhere else.

[@730sgupta]

Are you out of yours? we need to identify our own shortcomings and work on them. it is great for our psychology that some folks accept their wrongs but we also have to correct ours and work better. We have a lot of work to do.

[@baraiyanitesh6037]

Shakil Chaudhary saheb 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🚩🚩🚩

[@pavonekumar8454]

Shakhil Sir,, I want to add one thing to your views..Its not only the educational institutions to impart the quality education but environment should be their in home and surrounding to get the real facts They are isolated based on religious and adopted what is suitable to them at that time ,,irony that they are still continuing it for generations

[@gurmailbath16]

Big fan shakil sab Respect from California 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@youtubewatcherdesi]

You would think common sense would prevail in Pakistan. If India was so hiinduphobic, why are they so many successful businessmen, actors, national heroes Muslim ? And Muslim population growing vigorously. Any one with a logical brain should realize this contradiction.

[@nihalgondhule5047]

Good session but attendance? Love from India

[@minerjopeace5915]

One reason for the empty chairs is that such beautiful discussions happen every 2 or 3 days. Also the fact that there are few persons interested in opening even the first page of the book of true history.

[@psarathy66]

ayesha jalal is another historian who wants to make hindu as a villian

[@haroonrashid7463]

good conversation ,we should see righteous history but we should get the goals at humanity grounds not dulls and duffers rules.

[@jayantbaxi579]

Whenever I watch your programme I feel that I am attending an academic program in the university campus. I am a retired professor of Botany and during my service of 35 years I had organised number of National and International conferences, symposia so I am quite used to such programs. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate your programme and the platform. Sometimes I wonder when Pakistan has such talented academicians why pakistan is failing on all fronts. When I try to find the answer to this question I came to conclusion that fanaticism and extreme religious attitude is the cause of all this. Though I donot fully understand urdu but since it is closer to hindi I can understand most of the meaning. If you can open your discussion live to the world many people ,ofcourse academics can participate in it.

[@swapandas9433]

The lady expressed the most logical approach towards history.

[@m2kewl]

It's funny that Pakistan is always trying to forget it's own identity. Babar, Ghori, and their ilk were not from the subcontinent or pre 47 India. They were invaders. Pakistanis do not share a bloodline with them. 99% of Pakistanis were converted at some point of time from Hinduism. This truth is unpalatable to Pakistanis. This will be their downfall

[@sarvendra14]

More Pakistani should go through such sessions .. I am hope full they will do best as India is doing as they were the part of India so talent is same only guidance is needed

[@VijayGupta-nw5eh]

Shakil sahib is a prolific reader. His analysis is not based on his own ideas but based on writings in the books on history .

[@onlytruthissupreme7541]

The concept of Akhand Bharat is always misconceived by Pakistani people. Shakil Saheb is partly correct. The idea of Akhand Bharat is concept of cultural cohesion and friendship among the nations of Indian subcontinent. It is not an expanist ambition.

[@sushmitag8463]

Amazed at the depth of questions during question answer session. A simulating discussion indeed!

[@Padosidesi2828]

Top notch discussion. Pakistan is exhibit A in terms of how not to mess with history.

[@Learner21]

It is delight to listen to Sakil saheb.

[@dineshshetty875]

All Indian🇮🇳 viewers... And maximum chairs of audience empty.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SumitSingh-pz7hd]

We are coming close to finishing quarter of 21st century and Pakistanis are still questioning the relevance and need of science. Great!!

[@arvindsen5658]

We need more Shakil sahebs on both sides of the borders. Very sad there are few peoples (and negligible women) in the lecture hall.

[@amitmehta4491]

Did anybody watched the guy trying to hide his smile🤭🤭🤭 with so much effort😂😂😂😂??

[@krishantewari2376]

For Shakeel Sahab❤

[@venkatzen5188]

Really bad for such a poor attendance and Tables and Chairs cannot ask questions or implement suggestions

[@DrVJ-med]

Less than 2 dozen people attending. That it self says a lot.

[@rameshrajs8140]

Pakistanis don't want to face the facts... Only believe in JAZBHAAA....😂😂😂

[@pagan-540]

Excellent discussion.

[@srinumannam27]

Very less people attend for Very important Topic

[@prafulpatel3361]

[@amaruddin974]

شکیل اور نیر صاحب کا شکریہ۔ میرے مطابق پاکستان کے بڑے مورخ ڈاکٹر مبارک علی کا تذکرہ یہاں پر ضرور ھونا چاھئے تھا۔اس نے پاکستان میں بلاتعصب، نفرت اور دیانت دارانہ تاریخ پڑھانے کے حوالے سے درجنوں کتابیں اردو زبان میں لکھی ہے، تاریخ کو کس طرح دوبارہ لکھی جائے، تاریخ اور تاریخی نظریات، تاریخ اور عورت، تاریخ اور عوام وغیرہ۔

[@RinkalKumar-s7x]

Its hurt there is less specteter watching of two interlectutal discussion i am Indian but i am happy watching this program i know Pakistani are jihadi

[@atulpatil9407]

Such an informative platform and why such low views and likes .

[@bharaninathkomandur6330]

It was a very interesting discussion.

[@truthwordjeetuchoudhary9643]

Biggest history of pakistan, afganistan, bangladesh is surrender before mughals and converted.

[@sureshaurora6460]

Necessary Baby steps towords reality to get out of Blackhole. But damage is TOO big and will take more than 50 years for a complete change in these troubling times Pakistan is in due to faults of corrupt leadership.

The best poetry, drama and serious talk occurs in nations where the citizens are suffocated and imprisoned and helpless.

Pakistan was made by North Indian powerful Muslims. Urdu unhone hi impos ki thi pakistan me Sindhi and Punjabi Muslims to apni juban ko aaj likh or padh bhi nahi sakte, unko bhi wo log Arabic script me likhte h.

My god the hall looks so depressing😢

That's all the SENSIBLE PEOPLE LEFT OUT OF 24 crs.

I hope gallery will be full in future if such topics arise again.

[@Irene-m9n8b]

Sir, the Arab religion came to Indian subcontinent with the sole purpose of religious conversion with the help of swords 1200 years ago. Once this is understood some current dilemmas may fade away.

[@PuneriBaburao]

dis appointed by the lack of crowd for this forum ,

[@tajintayum978]

We in India study Delhi sultanate, Mughal, Europe, World etc

[@R.kandaswamy]

Wonder why we don't see many comments by Pakistanis/Muslims in such debates. Everyone one is interested to read views of Pakistanis on the subject under discussions. Also such a low attendance in debates.

[@sukhbirsingh8053]

The question should be, what's right??

[@sparklestudios2083]

Pakistan is still living in 1947. World and India has moved on from those horrible days of the partition but for these people across the border there's no closure.

[@Rajesh_Chaudhari]

Half of the auditorium empty...and masajid n Madrasas full..... This is present situation... What will happen in future? Wake up and save your country..

[@cocophonix]

Delighted to see Shakil Chaudhary ji. People of Pakistan need to move on from partition every news item in every media is about partition, how Jinna saved muslims from evil Hindus. You guys need to get a life

[@samaggeepawar5571]

Shakeel sahab 🙏👍

[@rigvedupanishads2653]

Jinnah was very wise that's why he made Pakistan. Since his grandfather was Hindu and the community Thakkar from Jinnah belonged and he faced conversession pain from own community.

[@orunabho]

So few in the hall tells you the story as well.

[@utkarshjaiswal586]

Irony is Indian watching and liking the show and the show is for pakistani😂😂

[@PRAKASHKUMAR-pl6gj]

Pakistan m Jinnah pr PhD krna ban hai... this tells everything.

[@sarfrazansari5217]

Shakil sb has not mentioned about Allama's demand for Autonomous State

[@JohnJoseph-fy5bp]

First of all you 📚need to change the syllabus. The Hate of indian🇮🇳 lies of history📖 like wars etc, The standard of education🎓 need to be improved.

[@DipakBose-bq1vv]

When I went to Britain for research I came across a number of Pakistani and Bangladeshi students and I was surprised to know that they do not know about either Jaliwanwala Bagh massacre or Bengal famine of 1943 or Direct action days killings in Calcutta in 1946.

[@masterstroke7163]

The empty chairs show the level of education in Pakistan. Had it been the great madarsa oxford chap giving a lecture, it would have caused a flutter to listen to him.

Dealing with the the trauma four centuries of of colonisation was easy but we are still dealing with the trauma of partition. The greatest crime in history.

[@InnerLifePhotography]

Within 13 hours this vlog got more then 24000 views and still many of you are arguing about the attendance and importance of this topic. I believe we should not doubt the reasons of many people

[@ajayasahu5402]

Discussion is having of depth in intellectuality. But no comments from Pakistani viewers. All comments from Indians.

[@dilipsinhjadeja2888]

Shakil Sir very good job Sir

[@kamrantahawar9192]

the biggest problem after days of dependence was that our text of history or mutala Pakistan, Was known as history which was based on other nations' history .i think in 19 86 what I had read in metric

[@kedarnathpatnaik7168]

Why so poor attendance.

[@siddarthakukreti7056]

Very disappointing to see very few audience.

[@aditichoudhury3425]

So hopeless these young people are. This level of discussion is what we casually do within friends, at home, ye seminar webinar ka level hai Pakistan key academics mein that too ginke 20-25 students hai. Bhai humare Universities mein itne critical analysis waley discussion hoti hai ki kabhi kabhi complex feel hota hai, shit we have to gain more knowledge. Or inlogon ko base hi nahi pataa. Such disappointment 😅. Waise raho aise hi, humey kya.
