No textbooks condemn military rule rather there is criticism of the democratic system and the political leadership. Nothing is contained in the text, which garners civic virtue and education in democracy. Then there is substantial material on the conduct of wars with India when compared to content relevant to the constitution, issues of governance, political economy, the society and culture. During Zia’s 11 years of infamy, the name of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was omitted from the textbooks, while the same texts were all praise for Zia, extolling him as a pious man, chosen by God, who made Pakistan “the fortress of Islam”.
