Analysis

Urdu medium and the lesson inventory is only low-to-medium confidence: the fehrist at PAGE 4 survives in fragments and several lesson titles are unreadable, so no count of lessons should be inferred. What is recoverable is an essay-and-poem book - the genre markers are dominated by mazmoon and nazm with almost no prose fiction - opening with a hamd and naat material (PAGE 9-12), and carrying the standard SNC topic slots: Iqbal, Quaid-e-Azam, environment and pollution, agriculture and industry, moral lessons. A1 3 rests on the naat placement; no seerah prose lesson was recovered. The A5 of 5 is the striking score and it rests on proper nouns, which do survive degraded Nastaliq: a lesson at pp.55-59 naming eleven Nishan-e-Haider recipients (PAGE 58), an exercise directing pupils to research a Pakistan Army martyr and write him up in their own words (PAGE 64), the award defined again at PAGE 77 and a martyrdom narrative at PAGE 79. A7 4: no woman is credited as author and no women-focused lesson was recovered - not established rather than absent. Treat the A5 score as plus or minus one.

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 3

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.

Findings that cite this book 1

Militarismhigh confidence

Punjab is the only board that puts military martyrdom in an English reader, and its class-6 reader carries three separate martial texts. The same Nishan-e-Haider roll appears in its Urdu reader in the same year — the board is redundant across media at age eleven. Punjab's militarism peaks at the start and falls steadily to matriculation, which is the opposite of the usual assumption that this material arrives as pupils get older.

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.

This record as data/books/pctb-urdu-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 you are quoting a passage from the book rather than citing this record, cite the book — the bibliographic details above are what identifies it — and say that you found it here. Two citations, not one.

Challenge this record

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.
