The concept of social justice and inclusion cannot be fully understood without finding how history has been written, treated and promoted at a particular place and time. The paper also looks at the role of historiography as a channel for social change and asks whether or not the current education system and historiography in the textbooks have the capacity to accommodate the cultural, ethnic, religious and social variation of the country and to end the legacy of politically and systematically injected sense of sciamachy in the curriculum since 1947, i.e. the year of independence for both Pakistan and India.
