India Pakistan Textbooks: distortions, Prides & prejudices
there are numerous internal & external factors in producing biased and prejudiced Textbooks in south Asia especially in India & Pakistan. One of the major factor is cold war between India & Pakistan of 1960s. from 1962 till 1972 due to three wars ( India-China war 1962, Indo-PAK wars of 1965 & 71) both in India and Pakistan narrow nationalists got ample spaces in state apparatus in result of defeats. Over emphasis on nationalisms and compromise on pedagogy remains order of the day. this issue still needs immediate attention of Peace pandits . read and share, as it is essential to address it too
