  "note": "Twelve units with SNC theme labels printed against them (PAGE 3). A1 stays at 4: Unit 1 is Tolerance of the Rasoolullah, Unit 5 is Hazrat Umar, and a devotional dialogue is a grammar exercise: \"Mama! Why do we offer namaz?\" / \"Because we have to thank Allah Almighty for his blessings... It's an obligation\" (PAGE 57). The distinctive thing is what the book does not do. A5 drops to 2, the only break in Punjab's class-6-to-9 martyrdom sequence: Unit 11, Give to Your Country, is civic-productive, there is no martyr and no Nishan-e-Haider, and the only soldier is a grammar-drill subject. A2 4: \"Participatory Citizenship\" is realised as traffic-law obedience plus a poem whose comprehension question, \"How do the laws of our country keep us happy and well?\" (PAGE 117), makes benign law a premise. A6 2, helped by \"the green colour represents the Muslim majority, the white colour represents minorities\" (p.113). A7 rises to 4 because this is the only Punjab reader with no gender unit at all, and its ratio (0.34) is among the lowest in the corpus.",
