Some people create history, some people write history, and some themselves become history.
But there are also some people who first write the history of a living person and then hunt them down to make their own history. Among such people is this man – who calls himself Itihas (History).
Itihas is one of the main villains of Parmanu Comics. He can easily be placed in the top ten because after Principal, Itihas is the villain who destroyed Parmanu’s life and set out to loot Delhiites and leave them bankrupt.
Actually, Itihas possesses the magical power to bring any historical object back to life. However, how he gained this power has never been revealed in the comics. Nor has it ever been explained how he became a criminal. In the comic Hukumat, it is only revealed that his real name is Mahendra Singh, and that he has a twin brother named Surendra Singh. Mahendra Singh, a.k.a. Itihas, also has a daughter – Ghazal.
But Itihas is unaware of this, because when he steps into the world of crime, his wife is pregnant. A few days later, while giving birth to their daughter, his wife dies. After this, Surendra Singh raises the child as his own daughter, never letting Itihas know, so that the shadow of crime doesn’t fall on her. However, when Parmanu gets trapped in Itihas’s web and comes close to death, Surendra Singh is forced to reveal the truth about his daughter to Itihas – and also that she is alive only because of Parmanu. On learning this, Itihas spares Parmanu’s life.
Itihas is cruel, and his name tops the list of those who escaped from Kala Pani jail. Many times, using his powers, he has given Parmanu tough challenges. At one point, he even sent Parmanu into the past. Below are some notable comics of Itihas and his clashes with Parmanu.
Itihas

Itihas enjoys killing living people and then turning them into history. This time, he begins killing Delhi’s great personalities and keeps their special belongings with him. Before doing so, he pastes their obituary posters all over the city walls.
The responsibility to stop him is given to Parmanu, i.e., Inspector Vinay. But in front of his eyes, Itihas continues to murder people, and he can do nothing. Later, when he transforms into Parmanu and chases him, Itihas even pastes Parmanu’s obituary posters all over the city.
Zorro

A new superhero has arrived in the city – Zorro. The same legendary hero from British tales, who used to rob the rich and give to the poor. But centuries later, someone suddenly becoming Zorro in Delhi was shocking.
Soon, after sending criminals to jail, he won the trust of the people of Delhi. Even Parmanu was deceived and took off his costume, believing that now Zorro was the city’s protector. But the question remains – was Zorro really a superhero, or just a conspiracy to drive Parmanu away from Delhi?
Uamr Kaid (Prison of Talisman)

Suddenly, Itihas wishes to repent for his crimes. He wants to fall at Parmanu’s feet and seek forgiveness. Hearing this, Parmanu is shocked. When he meets him and sees tears in Itihas’s eyes, he is taken aback.
But it was all a trap. While reading books in Kala Pani jail, Itihas found an ancient text that spoke of a talisman hidden in the jail itself. Deceitfully, Itihas traps Parmanu inside that talisman and establishes his rule over Kala Pani jail.
Phir Aaya Itihas (Itihas Returns)

Once again, Itihas escapes from jail. But this time, someone has freed him – and that person is Bhairav.
His goal is to release a power that has been buried underground for thousands of years. Its name is Ankusha, which has the ability to control everything in existence.
Even Shakti, in front of Itihas’s power, becomes his slave, and Bhairav uses her against Parmanu.
Hukumat

Historical objects in the city start coming to life. Each time, Parmanu suspects Itihas. But he is imprisoned in Kala Pani jail. Parmanu even checks multiple times to confirm this. Then who is the one with the same powers as Itihas?
Kaal Darpan (Mirror of Time)

Once again, Parmanu confronts Itihas. But this time, he isn’t alone. Using his power, he brings video game characters to life, who wreak havoc in the city.
When Parmanu comes to stop him, Itihas uses a Kaal Darpan (Mirror of Time) to send him into the past, where he is destined to face a mighty warrior.
Kaal Yatra (Time Journey)

Kaal Yatra is the second part of the Kaal Darpan comic. In this, Itihas sends Parmanu into the past, where Parmanu comes face-to-face with Bhokal.
Trapped in the past, Parmanu meets Bhokal’s greatest enemy, Gunik. With his cunning words, Gunik manipulates Parmanu and turns him against Bhokal. And then, standing against each other are two warriors – one from the past and one from the future.
Who won and who lost? That, you’ll only find out after reading the comic. But one thing is certain – thanks to Itihas, we get to witness an epic clash between two superheroes in Kaal Yatra.
