LAHORE: Renowned historian K.K. Aziz passed away in a Lahore hospital on Wednesday at the age of 81.
Khurshid Kamal Aziz was an outstanding historian and a prolific writer. He authored a large number of books that opened up angles on history and culture sought to be concealed by official chroniclers. Quite aptly, one of his famous works is titled ‘The Murder of History’.
K.K. Aziz’s was an expansive canvas and while he has to his credit books such as ‘History of the Partition of India’, ‘The Meaning of Islamic Art: An annotated bibliography’ and ‘Public Life in Muslim India: 1850-1947’, he also came up with volumes on some important individuals who helped shape history in the subcontinent at critical junctures – among them Sir Agha Khan III and Chaudhry Rehmat Ali.

We have no doubt lost a great historian. He was one of the rare breeds of impartial historians who has done some real and original work. Its a great loss for the nation and for the ‘history’ itself.
