What our textbooks teach (II)

Letter May 10, 2011
“You can’t go to the enemy country”.

LAHORE: The extent of bias in our school textbooks couldn’t have been better put by Mr Rumi when he writes: Little wonder, then, that when I received an invitation for the Saarc Literature festival in New Delhi, my eight-year-old emphatically advised me: “You can’t go to the enemy country”.
