Madame Ayesha Jalal has a highly dustorted knowledge of history. She should first correct her own perceptions of history before lecturing to others.

[@moderndemocracychannel4699]

Ms Aisha Jalal wrote manipulated history that suits imperialist powers as well as ASHRAFIA MUSLIMS of Pakistan. True history of Pakistan written by prof. Ishtiak Ahmed.

[@sharjeeljawaid]

There could be more than one point of views, or inference.
Difference of opinion may be respected.

[@saliksayyar9793]

Both wrote anti Pakistan manipulated history.

[@hunk9730]

Pakistan itself wrongthing in history 😂😂😂😂

[@talhamehfoozkhurshaidi6476]

Few in comments say that Ayesha Jalal manipulate history, we need to understand that all historian has different perspective regarding history, we all know hoodbhoy and Ishtiak Sahab has a secular ideology so they say Jinnah not wanted Pakistan etc etc, Every historian not say the things which we want to hear, their no one claim that he or she know true history, everyone see the same event in different perspectives.

[@DipakBose-bq1vv]

She is not a historian but a writer of fiction, where Jinnah was a secular and he never wanted a Pakistan.

[@sharjeeljawaid]

Are you a judge?

[@roops2939]

Jinnah the Joker did a huge favor for India. We should be proud of him in India

[@anuj6841]

Prof Pervez Hoodbhoy and Prof Ishtiak Ahmed have just blown the air of your historical balloon! You also presented biased history for so long. But these two giants, albeit late, have shown the light! Maybe an explanation or apology on the cards?

[@abdulhussain7685]

lots of love for great historian.

[@Sindhi001]

Ayesha Jalal, a historian?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pakistaniat705]

i think she is one of the finest historians of the world.
She has been critical of Pakistan. Just because she does not bash Pakistan as a visceral need further raise her stature.
Ishtiaq Ahmad is way way lower as a historian

Madam,the 2 pivotal points/landmarks which Pakistanis are told to be proud of are:
1. Muhammad bin Qasim of 712 AD.
2.Mughal Sultanate of 1526-1857.
Phenomena of hindus conversion to muslim identity is a no-no/taboo.

[@AbdulSattar-rk8ly]

madam.you are role model for me in history,i want to be like u.

[@KashifAli-qv1xo]

Ayesha is expert in erasing actual history then giving a new self created new history that suits Pak propaganda 😀
However now antidot is available in the form of Dr Ishtiaque😂

Watch Dr Ishtiaq Ahmed with open mind then you will get the right picture of her biases :)

[@ManiKumar-ht1cf]

The more I see things around in my homeland India the more satisfied I feel about the1947 partition ofBritish India when India that is Bharat was created here and Pakistan there.. dr ShyamaPrasad Mukherjee , who declared openly that ” whether u divideIndia or not but Bengal must be divided ‘ .
Mr Zinna is guilty perhaps more than that drMukherjee
Why donot you tell the truth of history first before you fancy history mamm.
