Abstract
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.
