Radio Show about 29 March 1849--A Day when the Punjab was annexed by British forces




Radio Show about 29 March 1849--A Day when the Punjab was annexed by British forces 167 years back


What was Lhore Darbar? What were its strengths? How British narrative degraded Lhore Darbar? Why after 70 years of independence Pakistani and Indian elite is still in love with bad British narratives? How research dismissed bad British narratives? How British historians played with religion and ethnicity as well as scripts, dialects and languages is a story of shame. How Archaeological Survey of India mislead us? How so-called secular masters divided Art in religions and otherwise and called it Sikh art, Mughal art, Islami art, Hindu art etc..They only reported conflicts, some time twisted it as par new priorities yet we fail to deconstruct it. Even post colonialists follow it largely. listen and watch yourself
