 Both history and literature are fashioned by events in the life of not just men but both men and women.If history is the record of their lives,literature is its reflection. This research paper is an attempt to examine the absence of gender as a meaningful category in mainstream historical narrative of medieval/later medieval period and compare it with the kind of voice it finds in contemporary Punjabi literature. Through an analysis of Bhai Vir Singh’s novels Sundri,Bijai Singh and Satwant Kaur,which are widely read Punjabi novels,I have made an attempt to draw attention to the fact that though history as a discipline has not been very fair to its women by having confined them to the periphery of historical discourse,a peep into other sources can sometimes enlighten us to their constructive contribution. Such sources,despite being outside the realm of formal history,not only give us an insight into the past but also help us to resuscitate the lives of women who were very much a part of the flow of events we call history.
