Information is essential for writing history of a time which can be gathered from various
sources. Apart from official documents in the archives, historians gather information also from
old newspapers, diaries of people, accounts of pilgrims, autobiographies of important
personalities and booklets etc. Information found in newspapers is varied, based on incidents
that have happened across the country whereas; the police reports are limited and localized.
Because of this fact sometimes the information historians get from police reports is not as
useful as it is from old newspapers. However for any incidence the newspaper may not quote
all the reasons behind this and biased as per the thinking of reporter while in police records we
could find some evidences for an incident and unbiased reports.
