Parallels between Gujarat and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Empty Parallels between Gujarat and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province

The effort is being led by the conservative Jamaat-e-Islami party, which recently gained more power in a region on the front lines of Pakistan’s effort to curb Islamist extremism and terrorism. Now a party that wants Sharia law in Pakistan again has considerable influence over what 4 million students learn in 28,000 public schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Jamaat-e-Islami has recommended more than a dozen textbook changes, including banning images showing women in skirts, jeans and T-shirts. Party members also want to remove Darwin’s theory of evolution from science books so it doesn’t compete with Islamic teachings on creationism.
So instead of Keller’s 1933 essay “Three Days to See,” which outlines how she would use her vision if given the gift of sight, ninth graders in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will read about Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the education official said. Iqbal was an early 20th-century Urdu poet and philosopher who advocated for creation of an independent Pakistani state.

Not possible Comrade. NWFP is mainly inhabited by warrior tribes. Gujarat is mainly inhabited by shopkeepers.
