Analysis

The 2006-curriculum class-7 reader, and the KP book that most clearly shows duty-civics rather than rights-civics. Its lesson on citizenship introduces protest only as destruction of public buildings, buses and trains, offers approaching the authorities peacefully as the sanctioned channel, and sets a writing task on the duties of a good citizen with no rights counterpart; there are zero hits for democracy, vote, constitution or human rights, which is why A2 is 4 despite the class-6 book scoring 3. Religion is front-loaded: the Farewell Sermon opens the book, carrying the Arab and non-Arab equality passage, and a Golden Age of Islam lesson follows later, giving A1 4. Militarism is 1, the only armies being Alexander's and the British in the Khyber Pass unit. Sikhs appear neutrally as fort-builders at Jamrud and in the glossary's definition of turban. Its Naseem Hamid selection is KP's only gender-focused piece across all four English readers, which is why A7 is 3 here and 4 elsewhere.

Evidence recorded 5

Three kinds, deliberately styled apart. A quotation is verbatim wording and is only ever taken from English-medium text. An observation describes structure or theme — the only kind permitted for Urdu and Sindhi material, which this project never quotes. An absence is a negative result: a probe was run and returned nothing, which is the weakest claim made anywhere on this site.

quotation religion lens A1 = 4 PDF p. 9 English OCR #e01

Lesson 1 The last sermon of Hazrat Muhammad opens the book · PAGE 9–10, carrying the "An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab" passage; Lesson 10 The Golden Age of Islam · PAGE 98–100.

absence civics lens A2 = 4 PDF p. 47 English OCR #e02

Duty-civics with protest explicitly delegitimised: "When people are angry about something they organize a protest, they burn and destroy public buildings, buses and trains" PAGE 47; the sanctioned channel is "If we have any grievances or any legitimate demands, we can approach the authorities peacefully" PAGE 47. Writing task: "Duties of a Good Citizen" PAGE 51, with no rights counterpart. Zero hits for democracy, vote, constitution, human rights

A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.

Unit 3 Khyber [Pass] — the only army is Alexander's (english-7-en · line 1053) and the British (· line 1345). No Pakistan-army content anywhere

Neutral-descriptive: the Khyber Pass unit names "a fort built by the Sikhs near Jamrud village" (p.23) and Bab-e-Khyber "a fort built by the Sikhs" (p.27) without communal loading; the glossary defines turban as "worn especially by Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus" (p.118).

The checksum is of the exact file these findings were computed from, so anyone can prove they hold the same bytes. The retrieval date is when this copy was fetched to the project's own disk, not a formal web-archive capture. Boards and mirrors reprint and reorganise continuously, so a source link may not resolve, and may not serve the same edition if it does. The bibliographic record above — board, class, subject, medium, curriculum, edition, approval reference and page count — is what identifies the book; the link is a convenience. This project does not republish the PDF itself, for the copyright reasons set out in about.

Identifiers and permanent link

Record IDkptbb-english-7-en
Permanent link/books/kptbb-english-7-en/
This record as data/books/kptbb-english-7-en.json · whole dataset

The record ID is an accession number that happens to be readable. It never changes, even if the metadata encoded in it turns out to be wrong — if this book's board, class, subject or medium is corrected, the correction appears in the fields above and the ID stays as it is. That is the only way a link made today still resolves in ten years. The full rule is in the standards.

If the edition is misidentified, a score does not survive its evidence, the source link is wrong, or a passage is unfairly characterised, that is worth reporting and will be acted on whether or not the correction suits the argument. Corrections are published in the corrections log, never quietly patched. This applies fully to the board that publishes this book: any reply will appear beside the finding it concerns, under the right of reply.
