Apart from this issue, I always feel that when it comes to teaching the history of independance , the curriculam in both the countries become too patriotic , to the extent that they create a hate in the minds of students about the’enemy’ right from the childhood. At the end of the tenth standard,the student forgets about the British rule and becomes a strong opponent to the neighbouring country. In India, he becomes suporter of Nehru while Jinah becomes a villan . May be opposite in Pakistan.

Why can’t we teach history as just the incidents which happened due to the contemporary situations? May be this positive approch will bring about a much needed change in the relations between the two countries.

Yes we are a Third world country but system here provide the best of education for willing and deserving.

I am very disapponited. How can we compare our education systems with those from Darul Harb. Pakistan’s emphasis on Islamic studies particularly from our MADDRASAHs are well sort after by people.
We, Pakistanis should be proud that we are teaching the real eduction that of spritual and after live. The infidels can teach all materialistic education to their children but can we touch our heart and say we also want to follow the evil ways. Listen brothers, ALLAH and OUR PROPHET (PBUH) have given us all that we as human should know. THE QURAN is the only thing that we should give priority. Think hard and INSHALLAH you all will come to the same conclusion.

I agree with you that we are divided by borders but our basic problems are the same. But india is still better then pakistan coz dispite all the corruptions, bureaucracy and other embazellements that you mentioned, india is lucky enought to get consistancy in their political & economic situation. There is no major U turn in policies in India. However, You cannot say the same thing in case of Pakistn. More then half of our history is based on dictatorship which is the biggest threat to democracy, economic stability and investors. It is unfortunte to say that the military regiem has destroyed the democracy and economic stability of pakistan. Moreover, corrupt politiciens, fudalism, injustice are such problems which have further pressed the most pressed people of the world.

Regarding comments of Dr.Pervez Hoodbhoy i totally disagree with him. He used to make criticism for the sake of criticism and just to get himslef prominent. You know that System cannot be changed overnight. I agree that there must be loop holes in the policies of HEC but still HEC has brought about revolutionary changes in the are of Higher Education of Pakistan. One can see visible change in Higher Education sector.

In my opintion consistancy in policies is mendatory for the improvement of any system. All the best universities of world like harvard, cambridge, MIT etc are more then century old and now they have got the present prestigious status. We should encourge the positives and make suggessions for improvements.

Thanks & Regards

Basically we are from South Asia or Indian Sub-continent, though we are divided by borders, our problems remain the same. There is something wrong in the system we live in. If military rule couldn’t bring any change to Pakistan, I doubt our non-functional democracy will ever bring a change.

If at all any good has happened is last 60 years is not certainly because of govt. but the steely resolve of our people of provide better education to children, despite of all the economic hardships.
