Analysis
KP's ancient-to-1526 history, Urdu-medium, authored at a government postgraduate college in Swabi and printed for 2021-22 under a curriculum letter dated December 2010. It is the most internally contradictory book in the KP set. Its pre-Islamic chapters describe Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism sympathetically with their festivals and an explicit comparative table, the direct inverse of Punjab's History 6, which never names Hinduism as a religion; that structure survives OCR and drives an A6 of 1 on those chapters. Yet an entire final chapter teaches tasawwuf as religion, with the silsilas and the major saints, and the volume closes with a Khatm-e-Nabuwwat declaration page, which is what pushes A1 to 4. Mahmud of Ghazna is carried both as the itemised idol-breaker of Somnath and as patron of Firdausi and Al-Biruni, an unusually two-sided rendering. Razia Sultana is treated at length, one of only two women rulers in the whole corpus. The A2 of 5 is a pure Urdu-OCR absence claim and should not be relied on.
Evidence tier
scanned Urdu/Sindhi OCR — theme-grade only. Structure and proper nouns, never wording. Nothing in this book is quoted anywhere in the study.
Measured scores
Axes not listed were not scored for this book — coverage is uneven by design. All axes run 1–5, where 1 is the secular/pluralist/open pole. See the method.
Evidence recorded 7
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.
observation religion lens A1 = 4 PDF p. 88 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e01
absence civics lens A2 = 5 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e02
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.
observation history lens A3 = 3 PDF p. 34 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e03
observation patriotism lens A5 = 2 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e04
observation othering lens A6 = 1 PDF p. 34 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e05

observation gender lens A7 = 3 PDF p. 60 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e07
Every passage recorded for this book is shown above — nothing is withheld or truncated. Each item has a permanent anchor, so a single piece of evidence can be linked and disputed on its own.
Findings that cite this book 1
Otheringmedium confidence
No board explicitly links the idolaters of Makkah to Hindu practice. Punjab's History 6 does place a reductive account of Vedic worship and the Prophet's destruction of the Kaaba idols in consecutive chapters at age eleven, but reserves the words "idols", "false gods" and "infidels" strictly for Makkah. The tightest vocabulary link in the corpus is in Sindh — the board that scores most secular overall.
A finding states and cites; it does not argue. The argument is in the studies. Where a finding has counter-evidence it is printed above, in the same block, because a finding that hides its counter-evidence is a worse finding rather than a stronger one.

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.

| Permanent link | /books/kptbb-history-6-ur/ |
| This record as data | /books/kptbb-history-6-ur.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.
