  • Religious and Cultural Tourism to the Ancient Gandhara Region Promotes Multiculturalism, Interfaith Harmony and Peace
    ALFP e-magazine issue 6: Migration and Multicultural Coexistence Religious and Cultural Tourism to the Ancient Gandhara Region Promotes Multiculturalism, Interfaith Harmony and Peace Fazal Khaliq (Pakistan) Reporter, Dawn Media Group / Cultural Activist / ALFP 2017 Fellow The Gandhara region in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan was the center of multicultural and multi-religious activities, and people of diverse cultures lived there in harmony about 2000 years ago. Followers of different religions and cultures like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Persian, Greek and Roman faiths lived peacefully. A place where the concept of religious harmony emerged and developed, Gandhara became the first perfect model of multicultural coexistence on the globe, according to archeologists and cultural experts. The region was also a busy center of educational, religious, cultural and trade activities between South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe with a continuous stream of people migrating in and out of it. The infusion of ideas helped Gandharan art achieve a matchless identity with its diversity and sublime themes. In short, we can claim that Gandhara was the first region to have international influences of globalization with business and other activities. Today, parts of the Gandhara region in Pakistan, including Taxila, Peshawar, Charsadda, Mardan, Swat, Buner, Malakand and Dir, contain thousands of sacred archaeological remains of immense importance for Buddhists, Hindus, Persians, Greeks and Romans, as well as Muslims, and people from across the world want to visit the area to view the sites. View of a Buddhist stupa and complex at Amlook Dara, Swat (Photo by the author) © 2020 International House of Japan and Japan Foundation ALFP e-magazine issue 6: Migration and Multicultural Coexistence However, due to a lack of awareness and misguided religious beliefs, local Muslim communities consider the archeological remains as mere ruins or structures that provide them no benefits.

Chitral is a beautiful remote valley in north-west Pakistan, nestled in Hindu Raj, Hindu Kush and Karakoram-Himalayan mountain ranges. In the absence of other fuel options, about 99% of Chitral’s population uses traditional firewood stoves for cooking. To alleviate the consequent burdens of deforestation, pollution and health hazards, my analysis explores the feasibility of implementing solar cookers in Chitral. I make an energy comparison, study the environmental impacts and determine the economic viability of this transition.

  • How Bad Governance Led to Conflict: the Case of Swat, Pakistan
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive How Bad Governance Led to Conflict: The Case of Swat, Pakistan Adnan, Rasool Center for Public Policy and Governance 15 November 2012 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/35357/ MPRA Paper No. 35357, posted 12 Dec 2011 10:50 UTC How Bad Governance Led to Conflict: The Case of Swat Presented By, Adnan Rasool Final Thesis Adnan Rasool Pakistan has been facing a complex security situation along its Western borders for nearly a decade now. The volatile situation along the border with Afghanistan coupled with indigenous problems in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the Provincially Administered Tribal Areas (PATA) in KP, have left the whole frontier region vulnerable to terrorist attacks as well as protracted armed conflict. During this time there has been a wave of Talibanization in FATA and PATA in KP, which has often ended up in military operations to flush out the miscreants. Over time, the attacks and operations have increased in frequency while the local Taliban (TTP) continue to wrest control of pockets of land in FATA and PATA in KP from where they continue to run their operation in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Over the last few years this wave of Talibanization has crossed over from the traditional border areas in to the more settled1 areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa such as Swat, Buner and Malakand. This trend reached its climax in 2009 when the Taliban inspired and allied, Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e- Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) took over the Swat Valley and banished all Government functionaries operating there.
