Mazia Qadri’s Reviews > The Murder of History: A Critique of History Textbooks Used in Pakistan > Status Update

I don't like how it is written like every damn thing is referred to in any other section of the book

I get that honestly. But the overall structure makes sense. He has highlighted the problems in chapter 1, given the right accounts in chapter 2, shows who bears the responsibility in chapter 3, and i guess discusses what must be done in chapter 4. It is not particularly written for our generation but it is being picked up by us. Honestly if this was any other book i would have dropped it but its so mind boggling how we have been fed propaganda as history. His commentary roasts the crap out of the authors, and he discusses factual information with such credibility and conviction I cannot help but continue reading. I guess if you are really interested in the subject matter, it wouldn’t annoy you THAT much. Like i was searching for his book for ages and finally found it. Even though the way he references everything to other chapter gets annoying, i still push through because it boggles me how we have been incorrectly and inconsistently taught history. Kuch zayada hee lamba hogaya sorry

Gist: it’s annoying but worth reading (for me)😭

I read a couple of pages and gave it to my professor. I haven't received it back yet T-T

If you like reading about the non biased, non propagandist history narrated without prejudice, i’d say DEMAND the book back😭
