Unfortunately, History as a subject is not institutionalised. Promoting ancient history requires a whole new level of scholarship, and I’m not even sure if Pakistan has resources to promote ancient history in academia. If only we’d reduce army’s larger than life unregulated funding and invest some of that money in our cultural and educational sector. But you are right, there seems to be a systematic bias towards pre-Islamic history of Pakistan, but I don’t think general public’s attitude reflects any antipathy towards country pre-Islamic sites and history.
