Abstract
Historians have tried to state past reality in terms of certainty but what they have been able to
achieve is that they wrote nothing more than a mere impression of it. This applies also to Syed
Muhammad Latif to whom, however, “the great end of history is the exact illustration of events
as they occurred, and there should neither be exaggeration nor concealment, to suit angry
feelings or personal disappointment.” The subject which makes on imaginative reconstruction of
the past from the date derived by historical methods is known as historiography. In reality, it is a
part of historical study, and in rudimentary and perhaps unconscious form, a preliminary to any
important historical endeavour. Arthur Marwick considers, nineteenth century is regarded as the
renaissance period of modern historiography and also for regional historiography.
