Analysis
Urdu medium, medium confidence - the fehrist at PAGE 4 is the best-surviving one in the Punjab Urdu set, though roughly ten lesson positions are identified only by page and their titles are unreadable, so this is not a full inventory. Two titles are legible and both matter: Pakistan ki tahzeeb-o-saqafat at PAGE 58 and khawateen ka ehtiram aur maqam at PAGE 95. That second one drives A7 4 - the women's lesson is framed as respect and status, an honorific rather than an agency frame, and no woman is credited as author anywhere in the volume. A1 3 rests on naat in the opening selections (PAGE 10, 14). A5 rises to 4 because Major Shabbir Sharif returns here with both the Sitara-e-Jurat and the Nishan-e-Haider named (PAGE 55-56) - the third Punjab Urdu reader in a row to carry martyrdom material. There is also a science and environment strand visible in the objectives pages. Nothing here supports quotation, and the martial score should be treated as plus or minus one.
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 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.
observation religion lens A1 = 3 PDF p. 10 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e01
observation patriotism lens A5 = 4 PDF p. 55 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e02
observation gender lens A7 = 4 Urdu OCR — theme-grade #e03
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.

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.
Identifiers and permanent link
| Record ID | pctb-urdu-8-ur |
|---|---|
| Permanent link | /books/pctb-urdu-8-ur/ |
| This record as data | /books/pctb-urdu-8-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.
