Abstract
Local history in Pakistan has a complex relationship with national historical narratives that are derived from ideological debates on Muslim nationhood in South Asia. This article discusses how ‘local’ is understood in Pakistan’s historiography and puts forth an argument for the adoption of an environmental framework to enhance our understanding of local history. Mapping methodology used for a project on the Rachna Doab is discussed in order to demonstrate how local environmental history can give new insights into history by eschewing preconceived frames of reference and using a different concept of space and time defined by environmental change.
