  "note": "Urdu medium, but the best-reconstructed book in the corpus: every lesson is preceded by an author-biography page carrying name and dates, and those pages OCR'd cleanly, so the full inventory is known - twelve prose selections (Shibli Nomani, Hali, Sir Syed, Muhammad Hussain Azad, Deputy Nazir Ahmad's Taubat-un-Nasuh, Premchand, Imtiaz Ali Taj, Mirza Adeeb, Farhatullah Beg, Shafiq-ur-Rahman, Colonel Muhammad Khan) and eight poems (Hali's hamd, Amir Minai's naat, Nazir Akbarabadi, Iqbal, Mir, Aatish, Ghalib, Bahadur Shah Zafar). It is effectively the same anthology as KP's class-9 Urdu book, which is an artefact of shared 2006 curriculum vintage, not of province. The one lesson Punjab carries that KP does not is an unattributed patriotic prose piece on the APS Peshawar attack (pp.100-106) - civilian, not military, martyrdom, hence A5 3. A1 4 for the opening seerah prose lesson and the hamd-then-naat poetry opening. A7 5: all twenty selections are male-authored. Important caveat: the corpus record files this as SNC 2022 / 2022-23, but the book's own front matter cites the 2006 National Curriculum, a 2009 federal approval and a 2016 printing. Flag that mismatch before making any vintage claim about it.",
