Abstract	This paper identifies the issues of internal orientalism that are reproduced at a micro level within Pakistan because of English linguistic imperialism. The unequal education system engenders attitudes of English supremacy. Orientalism supports global divisions East and West wherein the former is subservient to the latter. This division is reproduced domestically in Pakistan where English acquisition remains a preserve of few, who tend to exploit and ostracise (from privileges) others. To identify the corresponding elements of imperialism, I study both repressive and ideological state apparatuses by examining government reports during military regimes for the former and the advertisements of elite schools for the latter. Both apparatuses play a significant role in promoting English supremacy ideology. With Louis Althusser, I examine this ideology focusing on two Ideological State Apparatuses, i.e. education -- elite schools (both private and public), and media -- school advertisements. This research argues that English plays a significant role in the perpetuation of imperialism in postcolonial Pakistan. (As Provided).
