It scores at the extreme on three axes. A3 5 and A4 5: zero source-criticism vocabulary, the Two-Nation Theory eternalised to \"the arrival of Muslims in the subcontinent\" (PAGE 7), the army exculpated as having \"to intervene to crush the revolt\" (PAGE 55), the surrender never named. A6 5 is the corpus maximum, taught as examinable content: the keyed MCQ option is \"Hindus are not our friends\" (p.18), and among the 1971 causes is \"Role of Hindu Teachers - ... They poisoned the Bengalis against Pakistan\" (p.56). Yet the same book scores A7 2, the only volume at pronoun parity, on a Women's Empowerment chapter (pp.97-108) naming Benazir Bhutto, Fahmida Mirza and Nafis Sadiq, citing CEDAW and the Punjab Protection of Women Against Violence Act 2016, with a Myth/Fact box refusing to blame victims. Nine pages earlier the same chapter says Islam protects women \"in the form of veil and four walls\" (PAGE 99). Quote both or neither.",
