[I am grateful to the gods] That, for all my love of philosophy, I did not fall in with any sophist, or devote my time to the analysis of literature or logic, or busy myself with cosmic speculation. All these things need 'the help of gods and Fortune's favour.'

Marcus Aurelius
Roman Emperor
AD 161 - 180

"Pakistan studies is a tool to brainwash students into hating Hindus and India. "

- Shakil Chaudhary

Naa mate, if you talk about public sector schools, then yes there is a level of hatred just like the govt sponsored brain washing through textbooks in indian schools, tons of articles have been posted on this forum. So both countries do this.
However if you look at private sector, then your assumption isnt true. Our Olevels pak studies book was written by Nigel Kelly a British historian. We were taught about IVC, Ashoka, Mauryas, even negative aspects & later implications of operation searchlight in 1971 initiated by Pak Army.

  • All states in the world, large or small, are cities of Heaven, and all people, young or old, honourable or humble, are its subjects; for they all graze oxen and sheep, feed dogs and pigs, and prepare clean wine and cakes to sacrifice to Heaven. Does this not mean that Heaven claims all and accepts offerings from all? Since Heaven does claim all and accepts offerings from all, what then can make us say that it does not desire men to love and benefit one another? Hence those who love and benefit others Heaven will bless. Those who hate and harm others Heaven will curse, for it is said that he who murders the innocent will be visited by misfortune. How else can we explain the fact that men, murdering each other, will be cursed by Heaven? Thus we are certain that Heaven desires to have men love and benefit one another and abominates to have them hate and harm one another .

"It is sheer hypocrisy for Muslims to complain of Islamophobia in every nook and cranny of British public life, to denounce the newspapers for running Muslim-baiting headlines, and yet ignore the rampant anti-Semitism in our own backyard. We cannot credibly fight Islamophobia while making excuses for Judaeophobia."

- Mehdi Hasan, writer for the New Statesman.
