What is the voltage in Pakistan?

Why the school textbooks in Pakistan spread hatred for India? Indian books don't have such chapters?

• ▬ This is what written in the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indophobia#Pakistan ▬ Anti-Indian sentiments, coupled with anti-Hindu prejudices have existed in Pakistan since its formation. According to Tufts University professor Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr, Indophobia in Pakistan increased with the ascendancy of the militant Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami under Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi. According to Nasr, the first victims of Indophobia in Pakistan were not Indian nationals, but the Muhajir Urdu immigrants who were accused of dual loyalty with India by the Jamaat and their cohorts, providing them with ammunition needed to justify discrimination and physical attacks on the Muhajir Urdu minorities ▬ According to Sustainable Development Policy Institute since 1970's Pakistani school textbooks have systematically inculcated hatred towards India and Hindus. According to this report 'Associated with the insistence on the Ideology of Pakistan has been an essential component of hate against India and the Hindus. For the upholders of the Ideology of Pakistan, the existence of Pakistan is defined only in relation to Hindus, and hence the Hindus have to be painted as negatively as possible' A 2005 report by the National Commission for Justice and Peace a non profit organization in Pakistan, found that Pakistan Studies textbooks in Pakistan have been used to articulate the hatred that Pakistani policy-makers have attempted to inculcate towards the Hindus. 'Vituperative animosities legitimise military and autocratic rule, nurturing a siege mentality. Pakistan Studies textbooks are an active site to represent India as a hostile neighbour' the report stated. 'The story of Pakistan’s past is intentionally written to be distinct from, and often in direct contrast with, interpretations of history found in India. From the government-issued textbooks, students are taught that Hindus are backward and superstitious.' Further the report stated 'Textbooks reflect intentional obfuscation. Today’s students, citizens of Pakistan and its future leaders are the victims of these partial truths' ▬In addition, racialist ideas such as the Martial Race theory were central to the Pakistan Army which believed that since the Pakistan Army comprised soldiers of the "martial races", they should easily defeat India in a war, especially prior to the Second Kashmir War. Based on this belief in the martial supremacy, it was popularly hyped that one Pakistani soldier was equal to four to ten Hindus soldiers and thus numerical superiority of the foe could be overcome. ▬ An editorial in Pakistan's oldest newspaper Dawn commenting on a report in The Guardian on Pakistani Textbooks noted 'By propagating concepts such as jihad, the inferiority of non-Muslims, India’s ingrained enmity with Pakistan, etc., the textbook board publications used by all government schools promote a mindset that is bigoted and obscurantist. Since there are more children studying in these schools than in madrassahs the damage done is greater. According to the historian Professor Mubarak Ali, textbook reform in Pakistan began with the introduction of Pakistan Studies and Islamic studies by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1971 into the national curriculum as compulsory subject. Former military dictator Gen Zia-ul-Haq under a general drive towards Islamization, started the process of historical revisionism in earnest and exploited this initiative. 'The Pakistani establishment taught their children right from the beginning that this state was built on the basis of religion – that's why they don't have tolerance for other religions and want to wipe-out all of them.' According to Pervez Hoodbhoy, a physics professor at Quaid-i-Azam University in Islamabad, the "Islamizing" of Pakistan's schools began in 1976 when an act of parliament required all government and private schools (except those teaching the British O-levels from Grade 9) to follow a curriculum that includes learning outcomes for the federally approved Grade 5 social studies class such as: 'Acknowledge and identify forces that may be working against Pakistan,' 'Make speeches on Jihad,' 'Collect pictures of policemen, soldiers, and national guards,' and 'India's evil designs against Pakistan.' ► Now tell me how can we expect peace from that side? All children in that country are taught to hate India from very early age.

• Answer:

  India never invaded any country in her last 100000 years of history. http://india.gov.in/myindia/facts.php Apart from India, which ever countries the Muslims invaded, they converted most of them to Islam. Apart from India, which ever countries the Christians invaded, they converted most of them to Christianity. Hinduism stood the test of time during hundreds of years of non-Hindu rule. Adharma can not rule forever. Thus, history has proved the strength of Sanathana Dharma over other religions of the world. We should be proud of it. The world never knew what is Satya Agraha until Gandhi demonstrated it. It's power moved the very roots of the British empire. It is we the Indians who brought independence to India and also to Pakistan. Some day, some scholars in Pakistan will recognize that bad propaganda. That would be enough for India. Since Pakistanis are foreigners to us, we should not expect every citizen of that country to know truths about India. Only the deserved need to know. Hindu Upanishads say "Satyameva Jayathe".
