Analysis
A four-chapter Pakistan Studies approved by the Federal Curriculum Wing in 2010 and printed for the 2024-25 academic year, so its modern-looking stamp is a print run over a fifteen-year-old text. English-medium and therefore quotable, it is the most evidentially rich book in the KP set and the most internally divided. Its 1971 chapter indicts Pakistan's own rulers, naming a never-ending military dictatorship, the Awami League being deprived of power, innocent citizens killed in the military action, and a counterfactual in which the last governor of East Pakistan urged a political solution and was ignored. The word enemy occurs once in the whole book and refers to the Pakistan Army. Yet the same chapter retains a section headed on the negative role of Hindu teachers and adds a unique claim that America secretly supported the separation, which is why A6 splits between 4 for Hindus as a bloc and 1 for its warm section on Pakistani minorities. A3 is 5: zero source vocabulary and two inquiry verbs in 26,000 words. Women appear once in 24,912 words, in a book a woman co-wrote.
Evidence tier
scanned English OCR — quotation permitted after re-verification by exact string match.
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 8
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. 6 English OCR #e01
absence civics lens A2 = 4 PDF p. 77 English OCR #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.
absence history lens A3 = 3 PDF p. 12 English OCR #e03
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.

Findings that cite this book 5
Historyhigh confidence
Punjab externalises the loss of East Pakistan almost entirely and never mentions the surrender. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa indicts its own military rule. Sindh is the only board in the corpus that prints the word "surrendered".
Otheringhigh confidence
The claim that Hindu schoolteachers turned Bengali children against Pakistan appears in all three scored boards, in editions from 2004, 2023 and 2024–25 alike. It is the corpus's most durable sentence-level inheritance and the strongest evidence that these are divergent editions of one older federal text.
Methodhigh confidence
Punjab's higher narrative closure survives three vintage-matched comparisons, so it is not an artefact of old books awaiting revision. The boards' older books converge; it is Punjab's recent revision that diverges upward — and Punjab has since reissued class 10 again under a 2026 syllabus.
Inquiryhigh confidence
In every board, regardless of curriculum generation, inquiry apparatus falls away at classes 9 and 10 — precisely when pupils are old enough to handle contested questions.
Otheringhigh confidence
On minorities within Pakistan, all boards sit at the tolerant end — the clearest shared positive norm the study found. The West is not an out-group at all: Britain functions as a purely historical adversary.
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.

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.
