Pakistan's educational system continues to encourage anti-India sentiments

NEW DELHI: If the expectation is that the younger generation of Pakistanis, those far removed from the shadow of Partition, would help author a more amicable relation with India, then that hope is in vain. Pakistan's educational system continues to encourage anti-India sentiments and radical Islamic views.

Agencies report that at a seminar on the role of education in combating terrorism in King's College, London, Islamabad-based scholar and nuclear physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy said that the cycle of extremism - the use of textbooks and curricula to reinforce extreme religious and anti-India views - showed no signs of receding in Pakistan

In his presentation, 'How Education Fuels Terrorism in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan', Hoodbhoy cites examples. The examples showed by Hoodbhoy included images and text from a primer that mentioned the Urdu equivalent of A as 'Allah', B as 'bandook', Te as 'takrao', J as 'jehad', H as 'hijab', Kh as 'khanjar' and Ze as 'zunoob'.

"This is not textbooks in madarsas, but textbooks used in government schools right from kindergarten all the way to colleges," former Union minister Arun Shourie said.

He stressed that the textbooks and curricula should provide an important indicator to India as it assess the views of the people of Pakistan. "Look at the textbooks, at the mainstream media, Urdu newspapers like Nawa-e-Waqt that spew the same venom as the religious right. We should not make our assessment on the basis of the columnists who write in our papers. These columnists are brave people, but they have been, in a sense, allowed to write by the religious right and the Pak army to provide evidence of the freedom that Pakistanis have. But they have no meaning."

Another factor that should be kept in mind is the centre of gravity of power in Pakistan. "Is it moving away from the army and the religious establishment? Each time there is a new face in the civilian establishment we get delusional," the former minister said. Shourie said, "In the recent past, the religious rhetoric has grown stronger and the legitimacy of the army has declined. And while there is a rupture in a limited sense, the alliance between the religious establishment and Army continues." He stressed that this is one factor India must not overlook, and the textbooks are an example of how the symbiotic relationship continues to exist.

Hoodbhoy's presentation includes an image of a college going up in flames, containing images of things considered "sinful" - kites, guitar, satellite TV, carom board, chess, wine bottles and harmonium.

Examples cited by Hoodbhoy from another curriculum document for Class V students included tasks such as discussion on 'Understand Hindu-Muslim Differences and the Resultant Need for Pakistan', 'India's Evil Designs Against Pakistan', 'Make Speeches on Shehadat and Jehad'. "There has been a sea change in Pakistan in the last six decades. The poison put into education by Gen Zia-ul-Haq was not changed by subsequent regimes. And attitudes have changed over the years, making my country alien to me," he said.

Former Indian diplomat G Parthasarathy, who also spoke at the seminar, said tensions began when education did not foster respect for diversity and for other religions. There was more to terrorism than education, because some of the recent perpetrators were well-educated. "The most important part of education is that diversity should be cherished, that unity does not mean uniformity," he said.

Shourie said that the radical and anti-India content of Pakistani school textbooks are not new. "In 2004, KK Aziz wrote the Murder of History, which was a critique of the textbooks used in schools in Pakistan. The study endangered his life such that he had to leave Pakistan and live out the rest of his life in England," he said. Aziz died in 2009.

Since Aziz's study, there have been several studies of the manner in which the mainstream education system in Pakistan has been used to foster anti-India sentiments and encourage radical Islam. Most recently, in November, a study by the US Commission on International Religious Freedom found that school textbooks and teachers in Pakistan are biased against non-Muslims and foster "prejudice and intolerance" of Hindus and Christians. "Teaching discrimination increases the likelihood that violent religious extremism in Pakistan will continue to grow, weakening religious freedom, national and regional stability and global security," commission Chairman Leonard Leo said.

The study reviewed more than 100 textbooks from 1st through the 10th grade from Pakistan's four provinces. The researchers also visited public schools and madarsas.

The report specifically said Pakistani teachers view religious minorities, especially Hindus and to a lesser extent, Christians, as "enemies of Islam." Based on its findings, the report said that it's likely that violent religious extremism will continue to grow in Pakistan.

"Religious minorities are often portrayed as inferior or second-class citizens who have been granted limited rights and privileges by generous Pakistani Muslims, for which they should be grateful," the report said.

‘Pakistan schools teach Hindu hatred’

ISLAMABAD: Text books in Pakistani schools foster prejudice and intolerance of Hindus and other religious minorities, while most teachers view non-Muslims as ”enemies of Islam,” according to a study by a US government commission released on Wednesday.

The findings indicate how deeply ingrained hard-line Islam is in Pakistan and help explain why militancy is often supported, tolerated or excused in the country.

”Teaching discrimination increases the likelihood that violent religious extremism in Pakistan will continue to grow, weakening religious freedom, national and regional stability, and global security,” said Leonard Leo, the chairman of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Pakistan was created in 1947 as a homeland for the Muslims of South Asia and was initially envisaged as a moderate state where minorities would have full rights.

But three wars with mostly Hindu India; support for militants fighting Soviet-rule in Afghanistan in the 1980s; and the appeasement of hard-line clerics by weak governments seeking legitimacy have led to a steady radicalisation of society.

Religious minorities and those brave enough to speak out against intolerance have often been killed, seemingly with impunity, by militant sympathizers.

The commission warned that any significant efforts to combat religious discrimination, especially in education, would ”likely face strong opposition” from hardliners.

The study reviewed more than 100 textbooks from grades 1-10 from Pakistan’s four provinces.

Researchers in February this year visited 37 public schools, interviewing 277 students and teachers, and 19 madrases, where they interviewed 226 students and teachers.

The Islamisation of textbooks began under the US-backed rule of army dictator Gen. Zia-ul-Haq, who courted Islamists to support his rule.

In 2006, the government announced plans to reform the curriculum to address the problematic content, but that has not been done, the study said.

Pakistan’s Islamist and right-wing polity would likely oppose any efforts to change the curriculum, and the government has shown no desire to challenge them on the issue.

The report found systematic negative portrayals of minorities, especially Hindus and to a lesser extent to Christians.

Hindus make up more than one per cent of Pakistan’s 180 million people, while Christians represent around two per cent. Some estimates put the numbers higher.

There are also even smaller populations of Sikhs and Buddhists.

”Religious minorities are often portrayed as inferior or second-class citizens who have been granted limited rights and privileges by generous Pakistani Muslims, for which they should be grateful,” the report said.

”Hindus are repeatedly described as extremists and eternal enemies of Islam whose culture and society is based on injustice and cruelty, while Islam delivers a message of peace and brotherhood, concepts portrayed as alien to the Hindu.”

The books don’t contain many specific references to Christians, but those that ”that do exist seem generally negative, painting an incomplete picture of the largest religious minority in Pakistan,” the report said.

Attempts to reach Pakistan’s education minister were not successful.

The textbooks make very little reference to the role played by Hindus, Sikhs and Christians in the cultural, military and civic life of Pakistan, meaning ”a young minority student will thus not find many examples of educated religious minorities in their own textbooks,” the report said.

”In most cases historic revisionism seems designed to exonerate or glorify Islamic civilisation, or to denigrate the civilisations of religious minorities,” the report said.

”Basic changes to the texts would be needed to present a history free of false or unsubstantiated claims which convey religious bias.”

The researchers also found that the books foster a sense that Pakistan’s Islamic identity is under constant threat.

”The anti-Islamic forces are always trying to finish the Islamic domination of the world,” read one passage from social studies text being taught to Grade 4 students in Punjab province, the country’s most populated.

”This can cause danger for the very existence of Islam. Today, the defense of Pakistan and Islam is very much in need.”

The report states that Islamic teachings and references were commonplace in compulsory text books, not just religious ones, meaning Pakistan’s Christians, Hindus and other minorities were being taught Islamic content.

It said this appeared to violate Pakistan’s constitution, which states that students should not have to receive instruction in a religion other than their own.

The attitudes of the teachers no doubt reflect the general intolerance in Pakistan.

The 2011 Pew Research Center study found the country is the third most intolerant in the world, but because of the influence they have, they are especially worrisome.

Their views were frequently nuanced and sometimes contradictory.
