Mirza Ibe-e-Hanif and creating an alternative historical narrative in Pakistan

Abstract

Historiography of Pakistan has been criticized for a linear, vertical and repetitive approach and claims of scientific and objective writing of History. It is criticized for the Periodic shift/break ups, for an imbalance between indigenuity and exoticity, non-spatial centrality and metaphysical concerns supported by the state policy. In spite that a counter narrative has not been encouraged, several attempts can be found trying to present an alternate and parallel narrative of the Historical process in the areas forming Pakistan, and focusing on the People, indigenuity, continuity, culturality and regionality. Although, initially such attempts were considered as a sort of resistance to the state policies, but by the time, such narrative are identified as attempts to address the 'crises of identity' in Pakistan. Mirza Ibn Hanif (1930-2004) deserves a fundamental place in the history of the development of alternate and parallel narrative in Pakistan. He had begun to develop this narrative very early by 1960s and advocated the case for a historically distinct cultural and civilizational status of the region of Pakistan. In his narrative Multan occupies a central place. In this perspective, the paper explores Ibn Hanif's works as a counter and alternate narrative for the history of Pakistan.
