The war of Panipat is considered as one of most brutal wars fought in a last few hundred years on Indian soil. Of course, it is neither to blame someone or shift a blame from someone, but, it is to view the incidents as they happened. Of course, till we got freedom/independence in 1947, the history was written by foreigners, but, since the independence it is our responsibility to explore it in as much “absolute” perspective as much possible. We see a lot of biased and one-sided narrative regarding various historical incidents, so when some scholars and researchers decide to explore them as much neutral or from a different perspective his/her job becomes more challenging. It is thus rightly said, “till the tiger learns to write, hunter will be the hero of the story”. Often, even the reference material is found written from the perspective of the author and it is natural and obvious to find it influenced by the political scenario/situation at the time of writing it. Every historical account written after many years of the actual series of incidents happen relies highly on the research material available.
