i'm not disparaging Pakistan , i luv her. it's just sad that we don't take initiatives to solve problems. and i confess i m one of those.
You are right , in Class Six studying Pakistan Studies , I came to know that who were the Rulers of IdoPak(South Asia) before Pak, Ind became independent.

Pakistan Studies did not changed its topic till my Graduation , when it was omitted from the course.

Our Syllabus needs immense updates and at least as an Educated Civilians we should learn Government , its structure etc.

But unfortunatly these things we learn from our every day happenings , and many people who donot pursue higher studies remains ignorant in this regards.
