Re: “Pak Studies” was taught in a very very biased way.
Sindh was dominated by Muslim League, Pushtoons were divided between Muslim League and Congress, and Punjab was shared by the Unionists, Congress, and Muslim League.
However most of the leaders from modern day Pakistan were big time landlords and businessmen (women). Bacha Khan the great leader was no poverty stricken Pushtoon either. He was rich and so was his family. Rich families sent their boys to college and the resulting education made these boys prominent.
British gave titles to anyone who showed promise including the landowners, and the big time graduates of the British colleges.

Haven’t heard a bigger croc of non-sense. Whole Arabia which is the motherland of Islam runs on ethinicity, Ruling Saudi monarch is basically Saud clan. Every uslamic country except Turkey and possibly Malaysia has clan based rulers. It is you who has learn something. Sooner you learn the truth better for all of us.
Re: “Pak Studies” was taught in a very very biased way.
Your country distorts the history so much in its venomous hatred of India that the history you learned bears no resemblance whatsover with truth. That I take, is islamic?
Re: "Pak Studies" was taught in a very very biased way.
If it is true then it is very sad.I have lot of pakistani friends they told me lots of wrong information about India , but now thanks to internet, India-China talk in West, and Bolywood , Now pakistanis knows much more about India then a decade ago.
Re: “Pak Studies” was taught in a very very biased way.
I think my previous posts you yourself were distorting the reality, by trying to make others think that only one or twi Muslim countries weren’t ruled by clans whereas in reality many are not.
It’s not entirely unimaginable that your own venomous hatred of Pakistan is driving this.
There is a phrase that I was taught but rarely use, that seems applicable here.

Exactly thats why Bangladesh had to be rescued and they were the us at some point.
First reunite with Bangladesh and then talk of this thekadar nonsense....
Re: “Pak Studies” was taught in a very very biased way.
I don’t have the time to study every islamic country, but one glaring mistake in your own post is that Senegal is a muslim country. It is not, it is a secular republic. Just because of it is over 93% muslim, it is not an islamic republic. And even if for argument’s sake we accept that the countries that you mention are not rulled by clan the vast majority of islamic countries are still ruled by clans. Just because you find a very few ones not clan-ruled, does not make my arugument go away. Yes croc of non-sense does not come just from LQ, you are a purveyor of it too.
Re: "Pak Studies" was taught in a very very biased way.
Is that why you have 365 posts filled with anti-Pak vitriol, and most of your compatriots have triple digit post figures? If you so want to ignore Pakistan, why are you on a Pakistani forum, and that too in the Pakistan Affairs section? Why don't you just GET OUT?!!
Re: "Pak Studies" was taught in a very very biased way.
Without non-Pakistani input-GS will be devoid of any reality-and people here would continue to believe all the 'rubbish' taught to you in school and on radio/TV.
Re: “Pak Studies” was taught in a very very biased way.
Hey expati!
Calm down man! I understand that you revive this thread to show your love for Pakistan. It sure looks like that your life’s dream is to see Pak Studies to be taught in an unbiased way. Do you care to suggest some books that may make these Pak studies the way you like? Do you mind putting that list of references on this thread?
If you can’t suggest some good sources, then at least pay a visit to Pakistan. Check it out by yourself the state of Pak studies in Clifton, or Bhera, or Attock. Get off your arm chair man and see the world. The ticket these days to Pakistan can be had for about $1600 or cheaper if you wait for the off-season. Is that too much money for your credit line?
Nayyar, Jalal, Hoodbhoy and Saigol suggest that associated with the ‘Ideology of Pakistan’ is an essential component of hate against India and Hindus. Some time after Pakistan’s defeat in the 1971 war, Indo-Pakistan history was replaced with Pakistan Studies, whose sole purpose was to define Pakistan as an Islamic state. Students were deprived of learning about pre-Islamic history of their region. Instead, history books now started with the Arab conquest of Sindh and swiftly jumped to the Muslim conquerors from Central Asia.
Nayyar and Salim have pointed out the following examples of the expression of hate in post-1971 history textbooks: that: Hindus have always been an enemy of Islam; Hindus worship in temples which are very narrow and dark places, where they worship idols; Hindus declared Congress rule as the Hindu rule, and started to unleash terror on Muslims; Hindus always desired to crush Muslims as a nation; Gandhi was as an extremist.
What’s more all history in these books is along religious lines while social, historical, material and economic causes are missing. After 1979, the themes of Jihad and martyrdom in textbooks become strong. In this period, history and social study books eulogise Jihad and martyrdom. According to Nayyar, in Pakistan the impression one gets from Pakistan Studies textbooks is that the students don’t learn history, but rather a carefully crafted collection of half-truths, even falsehoods. For example, in these books, Muhammad bin Qasim is declared the first Pakistani citizen. The story of the Arabs’ arrival in Sindh is accounted as the first move towards Pakistan with the glorious ascendancy of Islam. A widely taught history book insists that, ‘Although Pakistan was created in August 1947, present-day Pakistan has existed, as a more or less single entity, for centuries.’
