The Lyallpur Young Historians Club, also known as LYHC, is an online club based in Faisalabad, Pakistan which brings together researchers and academics from Punjab, Pakistan, Punjab, India and the Punjabi diaspora. LYHC provides an online platform which transcends international borders and provides a database for researchers in the Punjabi language which is spoken in Pakistan, India and by the Punjabi diaspora. Recognising the importance of LYHC, the University of British Columbia has listed LYHC in a list of online resources on modern Punjabi language and literature.[1]
The aim of the club is to discuss the history of the Punjab. Originally, LYHC consisted of in-person meetings amongst various intellectual, historians and social scientists from Pakistan. However, since 2020, LYHC has been organising online lectures on history and various topics with guests invited from around the world.[2][3] The lectures and discussions can be accessed online on Youtube.[4]
The lectures are primarily in Punjabi. Writing in the Times of India (17/08/2023), Syal states that:[5]
all these programmes — talks, interviews, discussions — are in the Punjabi language, the thread that binds Punjab spiritually and culturally.
