Great work Huzaifa! I have translated and posted my grandmother ‘s pre-partition written book called “Heroes of 1857” at an Indian website called Tawarikh Khwani during COVID lockdown. It was posted on weekly basis in 13 episodes. It was about the resistance put up by Begum Hazrat Mahal, mistress of King Wajid Ali Shah Rangeela of Awadh , Gen Bakht Khan Rohila and Gen Mehmood Khan. My grandmother (1910 Bareilly – 1995 Karachi) wrote this book during her teenage by scribbling eye witness account of few survivors of the mutiny
That sounds like a wonderful story that should be present on larger platforms. You should also try contacting a publication house.
Great initiative Huzaifa, I would love to share some of my articles here soon.
Brilliant, I was hoping to write about Alexanders Punjab conquest. Could you provide further information. And am I supposed to attach related media or it would be added later on, thank you.
That is an excellent topic. You can correspond with us through the email mentioned.
Innovative initiative, I was in quest of a platform where young thoughts get a chance. Hoping to share articles about lost historical figures and some to make people ponder on current situation.
Great work Huzaifa. I also run a history page. Hope to collaborate with you someday!
