Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Balli & Lyallpur (Faisalabad)
Professor Ashfaq Bhukhari has a diverse personality. He is writing books on history & culture of Loyalpur. i published his first book in this series "Chenab Cub" . it is 6th in series yet all these books represent post 1894 scenario. it will be good if he add a book which can cover pre 1894 period. The city was established in 1894 and got a name of former Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab Sir James Broadwood Lyall (1838–1916) of Royal Commission on Opium fame. No doubt, the area was there, had tribes and pinds (villages) arroung the land chosen for new city. When ever we writes history of Islamabad, we will start it from pre 1954 by describing what was the land, who lived there. Recently, am reading Travells into Bukhara by Alexander Burnes , a travelougue of 1831 i which he mentioned Margala hills, Rawal pindi city etc, mountains, rivers, culture od that land. So if Bukhari ji will add another book regarding pre1894 Lyalpur it will enrich us all. Bukhari's work is very important and it reminds me late Asif Khan of Punjabi Adbi Board who had started a promising project of recording distric histories of the Punjab. It is the megnaficient way to collect evidence from the ground for writing People's History.
