Books for indo pak : Lane Poole and K.B.Syeds books .Every body discourages for opting indian history.But still it is a good subject. The only consideration which someone has while opting for indian history is that it would save time for pak affairs.Simply try to follow the style of prominent historians without bias.Also read Sarkars book as well to see the hindu point of view viz-z-viz subcontinent. But if u read Lane pooles history u would be amazed that his single sentence elaborates what the other historians try to narrate in the whole para. Imagine while depicting Hamayuns character and death he says HE TUMBLED THROUGH LIFE AND TUMBLED OUT OF IT..........HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE SADDLE WHEN HE WAS ON THE CRADLE,HE FORGAVE WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE PUNISHED...........HIS NAME MEANS FORTUNATE ,NEVER HAS BEEN AN EMPEROR SO MISCALLED(BEAUTIFUL) Similarly K.B.Syed had his own creative style.The terms which he uses for various indian leaders beyond doubt bear elusive testimony to his imagination and creativity. For Jinnah he uses the term THE COLD BLOODED LOGICIAN............then goes on to say ;JINNAH WHO BECAME THE QUAID-E-AZAM AFTER THE LAHORE RESOLUTION.......... Calls Iqbal A RELUCTANT POLITICIAN............A VISIONARY WHOSE YEARNINGS OF PAN ISLAMISM HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT ON PAKISTANS FOREIGN POLICY........See the choice of words. I think what ghalib and iqbal have done for urdu,these two have done for otherwise beleaguered history of India. As far as Muslim point of view is concerned S.M.Ikrams book is comprehensive.But of course it is for obvious reasons not devoid of bias. The most important thing for indian history is its mcqz.For this prepare engr.somroos booklet(hopefully the name is correct).Hopefully information would be helpful.
