University of sindh

The Department of General History is one of the oldest Department of the University of Sindh. Initially this department was attached with the Department of Economics and then with the Department of Political Science. It however, gained its independent status in February 1959. In September 1971 the Departments of General History and Muslim History were merged under the name of History. Again in 1978 it was bifurcated into General History and Muslim History. The curricula of General History have been revised and updated from time to time. The Department offers twenty one courses at Honours and Graduate level, providing advanced and upto-date knowledge of Historiography & Research Methodology, Muslim Rule in South Asia, History of Modern Europe, History of Modern Muslim World, and the History of Pakistan with Sindh in particular. This department has also started M.Phil. program. The students of this Department under the guidance of their teachers have formed “Historians Forum”. The forum provides opportunity of debates and discussion on important topics.
