An Anonymous Patron writes “Here’s One From Pakistan that says Pakistani history textbooks contain major distortions that foster an “artificial identity and ideologyâ€? on the basis that Muslims and Hindus are enemies, the former righteous and the latter conniving, deceptive and cruel, says a report by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute.
According to a brief of the report – The Subtle Subversion-The State of Curricula and Textbooks in Pakistan – compiled by AH Nayyar and Ahmed Salim, the Pakistan Studies, History, Civics and Urdu textbooks portray Hindus as backward and superstitious, burning their widows and wives. They portray Brahmins as inherently cruel, asserting their power over the weak, especially Muslims and Shuddras.”
