The claim that Sindh's books are the harshest does not survive vintage control
That claim rests on Sindh's jump from the pluralist end of the scale at class 7 to the hostile end at class 8 — but that is a 2015 provincial book sitting beside an early-2000s federal reprint, not a provincial position. Matched at either generation, the ordering reverses.
The claim that Sindh is the harshest board rests on one jump: its class 7 sits at the pluralist end and its class 8 at the hostile end. But those two books are not comparable. Class 7 is a 2015 provincial commission; class 8 is an early-2000s federal reprint the board never rewrote. Hold the generation fixed and compare like with like, and the ordering reverses. This is the clearest case in the study of a provincial verdict that is really an artefact of edition dates.
What this rests on
This finding is not a reading of one passage. It is a property of the corpus as a whole, computed from a vintage-controlled comparison of Sindh Social Studies 7 and 8. There is no single page to quote, which is why none is quoted here.
Boards and confidence
Sindh 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.

Cite this finding
Two citations are appropriate here, not one. The line above cites this finding. If you are quoting the textbook passage itself, cite the book — its full bibliographic record, edition and approval reference is on its own page, linked from each evidence entry above — and say that you found it here.
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.
