This is what w have been taught in the schools and this is what we todate are teaching our children. Is there anyone to take initiative and change the syllabi all over country.

Although I have read 70 pages so far. So far found it a wonderful and laborious effort by K.K Aziz. But IMHO the writer himself couldn’t articulate his thoughts in befitting manner. Few observations so far :-

1. Pakistan came into being on 15 August 1947, Lahore Resolution..1/3

..was passed on 24 March 1940, Iqbal was not the first one who gave idea of Pakistan. Etc etc are mentioned repeatedly more than 50 times.

2. Instead all these errors could have been enlisted against all the books containing these blunders. That could have saved the .... 2/3

... excessive repetition.

3. It could have been more interesting & comprehensible had this data been written in tabulated form thus avoiding superfluous repetitiveness.

4. Though, I am enjoying his wonderful work. It’s the best book.
