The real problem is that we teach military history that too of Mughals. We should teach cultural history of Indus Valley and develop it cultural patterns. Regional languges should be taught at least upto 8th grade, Urdu upto 10th and English upto 12 th. After that all education should be a professional learning and should be in English without frilling of optionals.
Seraiki culture is all absorbing. It can stand tough resistance and maintains its sweetness and depth. No other ethnic color is as strong as Seraiki. From Karachi to Gilgit you find it embedded everywhere.
