8.9/1k — the highest in the Balochistan set. Religion is the organising category of the narrative: the book's subject is the Muslims of the subcontinent as a community, and Muslim/Hindu is its primary analytic distinction throughout (history-8-en · PAGE 6, 11).
Correction: Balochistan runs two curriculum generations, not one
This project originally recorded Balochistan as running the federal NCC Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024, the scheme the board publishes on its own website. Reading the front matter of all 28 volumes shows that phrase in none of them. Classes 6–9 are National Curriculum 2022-23 pilot editions; class 10 is National Curriculum 2006.
This project originally recorded Balochistan as running the federal Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024, because that is the scheme the board publishes on its own website. Reading the front matter of all 28 volumes shows the phrase in none of them: classes 6–9 are National Curriculum 2022-23 pilot editions and class 10 is National Curriculum 2006. The board-level claim that Balochistan's books are the newest in the corpus is therefore withdrawn. The correction improved the study — running two generations at once makes Balochistan the only board supplying vintage-matched partners for both of the others, and so the best available control for separating era from province.

What the books say
Each entry below is the catalogue's own record for that book on that
axis, printed as it stands. Pages marked PDF p. are counted from the first page of the scanned file, which is how most of this corpus was read; pages marked printed p. are the folio printed on the paper. The two differ by however many unnumbered cover leaves a volume carries, so the label matters when you go to check.
Limits
The board-level claim that Balochistan's books are the newest in the corpus is withdrawn. The correction improved the study: Balochistan became the only board supplying vintage-matched partners for both curriculum generations.
Boards and confidence
Balochistan high confidence
Confidence reflects the evidence tier this rests on. High means native or English-medium text verified by exact string match; medium means it depends partly on Urdu-medium material read at theme grade, or on an absence. See the method.

Challenge this finding
This is a claim about a printed book, so it is checkable, and it should be checked. If the citation is wrong, the edition is misidentified, the passage is quoted unfairly, or the finding does not survive its own evidence, that is worth reporting and it will be acted on whether or not the correction is convenient for the argument. Corrections are logged publicly in the corrections log; this applies fully to the boards themselves.
