Pillar of Department of History

Dr. Wiqar Ali Shah is one of the pillars of the Department of History, serving the discipline for the last three decades in various capacities. He is an internationally reputed scholar who has written countless books on the history of KP and translated many valuable works from Pashto to Urdu and English. He has produced more M.Phil. and Ph. D. Students than any other faculty member in the department so far. He has also served twice as Chairperson of the History department and also Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. His long standing association with the department, commitment to discipline, love and affection for the students and a great passion for his work will go a long way in being always remembered as a towering personality and a great mentor for hundreds of his students. His contributions both academic and personal towards all those he comes in contact make him an unforgetable person in their lives. Words are not enough to appreciate and acknowledge his work and services. May he be blessed with health and more ability to continue his labour of love.
