Abstract
This paper examines the cultural values, beliefs and ideology constructed
through Pakistan Studies textbook, published by Sindh Text Book Board,
currently used for secondary education in the Government sector in
Pakistan. The study aims to critically analyze how discourses are created
and what ideologies are embedded in them in the form of textbooks. The
paper also analyzes how texts are manipulated in the public education
sector to portray certain cultural forces, beliefs and values for the young
reader and how these discourses in turn position the learner to go through
the way these discourses are developed. The paper states that such
discourses are contrary to the young learner’s interests and serve the
interests of the powerful elite.
