Analysis
Approved 6 December 2017 under the Sindh Curriculum 2015, this 196-page volume pairs ancient India and Persia with a genuine civics core and, unusually for the grade, micro-economics with demand and supply curves. A2 1 covers Unit 2, The Constitution and Citizenship (pp.40–63): the 1973 Constitution, separation of powers, Dicey's rule of law, a classification of rights, the UDHR 1948, the CRC 1989, Article 25-A, a nine-step advocacy method, and civil society existing "to limit and control the power of the state". A3 2 rather than 1 because the Site in a Bag archaeology exercise teaches evidential underdetermination (pp.179–180) while the ancient content is still delivered as settled narrative. A7 2 is the corpus's only critical gender text: the Gender-inequality section names unequal wages, denied career choice, honour killing and "male dominating society" (pp.161–163). Also here: an un-TOC'd child-protection chapter on violence (pp.193–196), explicit climate change (p.80), and Sindh used operationally through the 2010 Tori Bund breach and the 2001 drought. One caution: the raw working notes' "first province" free-education claim at p.51 failed verbatim re-checking and should be re-verified before use.
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 8
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.

A negative result. It records that a probe was run and found nothing — not that the thing is not in the book. Where this rests on Urdu material the correct reading is not established, never absent, because degraded Nastaliq OCR cannot tell those apart.

Findings that cite this book 3
Civicshigh confidence
Sindh teaches government, local government, elections and the media in a democracy at class 6, then the 1973 Constitution, the UDHR, the CRC and civil society at class 7. It is the only board to state civilian control of the armed forces, to teach protest and boycott as legitimate citizen action, and to tell a pupil the voting age and how to register.
Civicshigh confidence
Sindh's assessment demands evaluation where other boards demand reproduction: pupils are asked to rate how well the current government is fulfilling its purpose, and to critically evaluate the state of human rights in Pakistan. This is the corpus's strongest counter-case to the assessment-demand argument, and it shows the pattern elsewhere is a choice rather than a necessity.
Contenthigh confidence
Punjab's six science books and eight readers contain no Muslim-scientist material at all, where Sindh and KP carry it across seven or eight books each. But the strand survives in Punjab's History 7, in a section on the Golden Age of Islam. It changed subject, not curriculum.
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.
