It is generally believed that the history being taught to children in Pakistani schools is distorted. I agree with that notion, and I do think we should own up to the Indus valley civilization and Gandhara civilization as that would not impact our religion as some people tend to believe.

As far as considering Ghaznavi, Ghauris, and Moghuls (especially Aurangzeb) as heroes, its natural that heroes of one party are always the villains of others.

Is it Pakistan’s history books which are biased and distorted as they dont mention the atrocities of muslim invaders?

What about the so called ‘civilised world’? Do the Americans teach their children how they treated the red Indians, and are the Australian kids taught about the savage treatment of aboriginals? Do the Germans discuss the holocaust? Similar is the case with all countries, history is generally distorted to rake fake nationhood and sweep the past atrocities under the carpet as nothing happened.

Australian kids are quite aware of whatever happened to the aboriginals.
