Analysis
Thirteen chapters in 192 pages, approved 9 October 2004 and still in print for 2023–24, and the single most important thing about it is where the political narrative stops: the recognition of Bangladesh at the 1974 Lahore Islamic Summit. A Sindh matriculant learns nothing from this book about Bhutto's government, Zia, Islamisation, the Hudood Ordinances, the 1998 tests, Musharraf or terrorism. A1 4 rests on Chapter 1 grounding the state in "the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah" (PAGE 5) and the five pillars expounded inside a welfare-state chapter (PAGE 164–172). A7 4 is the corpus's clearest prescriptive passage — a woman "governs and manages all family affairs within the four walls" (PAGE 138) — offset by a Women Ombudsperson chapter. Against that sit real distinctions: a five-chapter civics and rights block reproducing the UDHR article-by-article (pp.182–186), a "Role of various Provinces in the Pakistan Movement" section found nowhere else, and the only account in the corpus that prints the 16 December 1971 surrender (p.46). Note the maps were updated post-2019 while the text was not, and chapters 12–13 are internally datable well after the 2004 core.
Evidence tier
scanned English OCR — quotation permitted after re-verification by exact string match.
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 2
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
Religionhigh confidence
Sindh's classes 6 and 7 are the most secular books anywhere in the corpus — its English readers contain no religious selection at all — and its class 9–10 Pakistan Studies is among the most religious. It climbs further between class 7 and class 10 than any other board.
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.

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.
