Pakistan Studies, class 9

This is really a two-book comparison with a footnote. Sindh does not publish a class-9 Pakistan Studies: the file catalogued as one is a combined IX–X volume, its cover stating it is for the ninth and tenth classes and its imprint carrying the 2004 approval reference of the English class-10 book. It is that book in the other medium, and scoring it separately would double-count Sindh. Punjab and KP run the same four-chapter scheme from a common federal ancestor — Punjab's 2023 SNC volume against a KP book approved by the Federal Curriculum Wing in 2010 and printed for 2024-25 — and where Punjab has a Women's Empowerment chapter, KP keeps History of Pakistan I. On A4 Punjab scores 5 and KP 3. Punjab exculpates: the army "had to intervene to crush the revolt" (PAGE 55), the surrender is never named, and the Two-Nation Theory is eternalised to "the arrival of Muslims in the subcontinent" (PAGE 7). KP indicts its own: a never-ending military dictatorship, the Awami League "deprived of the power by one pretext or another", and "enemy" occurring once in the whole book, of the Pakistan Army. Punjab's A6 5 is the corpus maximum and is examinable — the keyed MCQ option "Hindus are not our friends" (p.18) — while KP splits, retaining the "Hindu teachers" cause and adding a unique claim that America secretly supported the separation, alongside a warm section on Pakistani minorities. Gender inverts it: Punjab scores A7 2 on a chapter naming Benazir Bhutto and citing CEDAW, though nine pages earlier it says Islam protects women "in the form of veil and four walls" (PAGE 99); KP scores 5, women appearing once in 24,912 words in a book a woman co-wrote. Both score A3 5. Punjab's newest Pakistan Studies calls Hindus not our friends in a multiple-choice key; KP's fifteen-year-old one calls the Pakistan Army the enemy of the Bengalis.
