This article traces the history, rather briefly, of how the national educational policies and curricula in social sciences and humanities have been changed to serve the jihadist ideology in Pakistani society. The crumbling social order in Pakistan is not only an indication of the bad governance but also the systemic inculcation of ideologies of hatred and extremism among a whole generation of schoolchildren and college graduates. It is a society where extremism, not only of the radical Islamists but also of the average person, is on the rise.
