The objective of this study is to examine the representation of women in
Sindhi school text books and what values and ideologies are portrayed in
and through school text books. The study has employed Critical Discourse
Analysis as a research framework, specifically utilizing Critical Language
Study as a tool of analysis. This framework enables the researcher to unearth
how social meanings and dominant ideologies are (re) produced and
legitimized in and through language. The paper unfolds the stereotypical
gender roles ascribed to women in Sindhi language texts and the unfair and
inexcusable picture of women projected through them. These texts are
reflective of institutionalized discrimination of women in Pakistani society
because of which women are marginalized and rendered powerless to the
serious concerns of life. The work is centered round linguistic representation
of women and their social positioning through text books. The findings of
the study indicate the presence of patriarchal ideology and gender
discrimination in Sindhi text books because of which women’s rights are
sacrificed to sustain a form of paternalism.
