Review Subhas Chandar Bose Biography


The victim of the great game
An exhaustive biography of Subhas Chandra Bose is the best work to date to clarify some of his paradoxes
By Aamir Riaz
In His Majesty’s eyes, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was a rebel, an agent of the fascist Germans and a persona non-grata. But, in people’s memories, he is still alive as an immortal leader who sacrificed his career and life for them.

Campaign to revisit our text books part 2
Extracts from the report “What we are teaching our Children”
PTB book Pak Studies Class 5 page 57
Author did not mention Motorway and
Punjab government is publishing it from last 4 years.
it is an example of carelessness from politicians towards Textbooks.

The book was prepared under 2003 curriculum and it was Pervaizi period so they did not include Motorway in the lessons out of their biases. But the same book is printing there in the Punjab from 2008. Same issue is there in all other text book boards.

Campaign to revisit our text books part 1

This text is included in Pakistan Studies class 7 books at page 13. It is not only against Christians but also against Muslim children. What will a Muslim kid thinks about fellow Christian Pakistanis? Such biased and narrow minded lessons are harmful not only for Pakistani nationalism but also push our kids against the spirit of tolerance and peace.
