Abstract:

This study shaped the structure of old Muslim historians' points of view, discussed the strong ages of the past, and ineffective Mughal interest, developed the responses of Muslim historiography in British India, as well as illustrated Muslim capabilities by diverse eminent historians. It sheds light on different historical writings of scholars and to aware them about the significance of language as an identity. Apart from this time, among different historians and scholars like Sir Syed, Moulana Shibli, Ameer Ali, Chirag Ali and Altaf Hussain Hali discussed Muslim historiography with different facets, while Zakaullah performed an important role because he had a great influence on students, finding solutions to the Western challenging obstacle and teaching them how to obtain knowledge with proper understanding. He delves the motives for modification and adjustment of curriculum language. His philosophical aspects of writing profoundly influenced their newish learning methods. No doubt he was the first historian to compile the History of India in Urdu from ancient to modern times and became a center of attention among others. Unfortunately faced criticism for favouring the British trends, but their devotee always followed him after his death.
