Why blame the State for something that has worked well in manufacturing a sense of nationalism? Granted, there has been some fallout recently, but overall, isn't Pakistan itself the result of a somewhat exclusivist ideology for Muslims of the subcontinent?
The price that is paid for this concocted nationalism is a false and hate-filled world-view. Nothing good ever came out of that.
Here is what 70% of student population in Pakistan study
Original Report at CRSS Pakistan
Pakistan’s public schools, which educate some 70 percent of the student population….
Prescribed textbooks for Classes 4 and 5, attended by children aged 8 to 10, are bursting with anti-Hindu and anti-Sikh themes. By Class 6, when students are typically 10 to 12 years old, anti-Christian, anti-British and anti-European indoctrination begins. Children are taught that the “Christians and Europeans were not happy to see the Muslims flourishing in life.”31 Anti-Jewish postulations are introduced in Class 7. In Classes 9-10, when students are typically 13 to 16 years old, the ‘importance of Jihad’ is cultivated.
Here are excerpts from textbooks:

number of times the Sikhs crossed the river Jamna and looted and destroyed the
settlements of the Muslims. They turned the mosques into their ‘Gurdawaras’,
demolished the shrines of the Muslim saints and burnt religious schools and
libraries.”

“Great importance is given to Jihad (struggle) in Islam…….And to keep oneself
ready to sacrifice one’s life and property is jihad…..The basic purpose of all
submissions and jihad is to keep oneself a follower of the good will of Allah
Almighty.”
And Pakistanis still doubt as to what has brought their country to the situation where it is today. What will a people steeped and schooled in lies do?
?
