The entire state legitimately belongs to India and its disputed status has been reiterated by India for the last 70 years. The PoK is kept under tight control of the Government of Pakistan through the Ministry of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Affairs, while at the local level in both the units, notional representative systems have been allowed to deal with local resentments. The internal affairs of these two areas do not receive too much of media attention, and therefore, there is very little in the public domain in India on the evolution of politics in this terrain, as well as on the parties, pressure groups and personalities that struggle to voice their concerns about their neglected status over the years. The scholars at IDSA follow the events and political processes in these two regions regularly and there is a project devoted to this job in the Institute, which has been running for the last 10 years. This book is a result of research undertaken on the subject by the scholars associated with this project. It seeks to provide facts and analyses on the genesis and evolution of various political parties, interest groups, and the background and role of different personalities operating in both parts of PoK. The main aim of the publication is to help the scholars, analysts, and policy-makers to understand the dynamics of the political systems in PoK, the complex interaction of these systems with the government in Islamabad and the responses of the local leadership to their subservient status over the last 70 years. This study is a welcome effort by the three authors, Shri S.K. Sharma, Dr. Yaqoob ul Hassan and Dr Ashok Behuria, who have consulted a variety of primary and secondary sources like government documents, books and articles published in the newspapers and journals, especially those in the vernaculars, x Pakistan Occupied Kashmir: Politics, Parties and Personalities the reports of a number of international institutions, and the websites of various political parties to gather facts pertaining to the subject. I commend the efforts undertaken by the authors who, in spite of scarcity of material available on the theme, have been able to bring out a publication that will be useful for wider academic and strategic purposes. I take this opportunity to thank the two anonymous referees who added value to the publication by their comments and suggestions. I hope this publication will draw the attention it deserves from the strategic community in India. September 18, 2018 Jayant Prasad Director General, IDSA Acknowledgements We have been associated with this book project for quite some time. We have received help from a number of individuals for successful completion of this book.

  • Islamist Politics in South Asia After the Arab Spring: Parties and Their Proxies Working With—And Against—The State
    RETHINKING POLITICAL ISLAM SERIES August 2015 Islamist politics in South Asia after the Arab Spring: Parties and their proxies working with—and against—the state WORKING PAPER Matthew J. Nelson, SOAS, University of London SUMMARY: Mainstream Islamist parties in Pakistan such as the Jama’at-e Islami and the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam have demonstrated a tendency to combine the gradualism of Brotherhood-style electoral politics with dawa (missionary) activities and, at times, support for proxy militancy. As a result, Pakistani Islamists wield significant ideological influence in Pakistan, even as their electoral success remains limited. About this Series: The Rethinking Political Islam series is an innovative effort to understand how the developments following the Arab uprisings have shaped—and in some cases altered—the strategies, agendas, and self-conceptions of Islamist movements throughout the Muslim world. The project engages scholars of political Islam through in-depth research and dialogue to provide a systematic, cross-country comparison of the trajectory of political Islam in 12 key countries: Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Pakistan, as well as Malaysia and Indonesia. This is accomplished through three stages: A working paper for each country, produced by an author who has conducted on-the-ground research and engaged with the relevant Islamist actors. A reaction essay in which authors reflect on and respond to the other country cases. A final draft incorporating the insights gleaned from the months of dialogue and discussion. The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit organization devoted to independent research and policy solutions. Its mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations for policymakers and the public.

  • Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan
    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2014 Jun;32(2):301-313 ©INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIARRHOEAL ISSN 1606-0997 | $ 5.00+0.20 DISEASE RESEARCH, BANGLADESH Consanguinity and Its Sociodemographic Differentials in Bhimber District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Nazish Jabeen, Sajid Malik Human Genetics Program, Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, 45320 Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Kashmiri population in the northeast of Pakistan has strong historical, cultural and linguistic affini- ties with the neighbouring populations of upper Punjab and Potohar region of Pakistan. However, the study of consanguineous unions, which are customarily practised in many populations of Pakistan, revealed marked differences between the Kashmiris and other populations of northern Pakistan with respect to the distribution of marriage types and inbreeding coefficient (F). The current descriptive epidemiological study carried out in Bhimber district of Mirpur division, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, demonstrated that consanguineous marriages were 62% of the total marriages (F=0.0348). First-cousin unions were the predominant type of marriages and constituted 50.13% of total marital unions. The estimates of inbreeding coefficient were higher in the literate subjects, and consanguinity was witnessed to be rising with increasing literacy level. Additionally, consanguinity was observed to be associated with ethnicity, family structure, language, and marriage arrangements. Based upon these data, a distinct sociobiological structure, with increased stratification and higher genomic homozygos- ity, is expected for this Kashmiri population. In this communication, we present detailed distribution of the types of marital unions and the incidences of consanguinity and inbreeding coefficient (F) across various sociodemographic strata of Bhimber/Mirpuri population. The results of this study would have implication not only for other endogamous populations of Pakistan but also for the sizeable Kashmiri community immigrated to Europe.

  • The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context
    Georg Stöber Religious Identities Provoked: The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and its Conflictual Context1 Abstract Textbooks, and the curricula on which they are based, are often used to foster specific identities that might not be the identity of a substantial part of the population. If they meet with pre-existing strife, even textbooks can provoke violent outbreaks, which can only be understood in the context of the underlying conflict. This article will analyse one example, putting it in the context of textbook politics in South Asia. In Gilgit (Northern Areas of Pakistan), protests against presentations of religious practices in school textbooks resulted in riots and deaths in 2004 as well as in the closure of schools for one year. Even if this specific issue seemed to have been solved in May 2005, tension continued. The population of this region is religiously heterogeneous (despite being Muslim). Developments in the Islamic World elsewhere (Iran, Afghanistan) deepened the divide. The region experienced ‘sectarian clashes’ for quite some time, the authorities being unable or unwilling to control them. This regional case is linked to the general (not only educational) policies of Pakistan, especially to the promotion of “the ideology of Pakistan”. Despite meeting with some criticism, this concept is not only used to demarcate the Pakistani “self” from the (especially Indian) “other”, but also to do away with internal differences. However, the attempt at homogenisation is counterproductive where it can be interpreted as being directed against specific group identities and interests. On Thursday, June 3, 2004, “one person was killed and several were injured when Shia protestors clashed with security forces in Gilgit city”.2 As the correspondent wrote, the army had imposed a curfew and “was called out in Gilgit to maintain law and order” in expectation of demonstrations.

Accepted 22 August, 2011 The mainstream of people residing in Hattian Bala District, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan are dependent on medicinal plants for their healthcares. The indigenous medicinal knowledge is in serious danger, as this knowledge is being shifted from generation to generation. Now, modern generation is not paying much attention to save this treasure due to western medicines. This study’s aim is to report the use of medicinal plants by traditional healers and local people to treat various human diseases in the rural and sub urban areas of the study area, which is yet to be reported from an ethno medicinal aspect. Research was conducted by means of open ended and semi-structured questionnaire based interviews. A total of 12 local healers and 91 local people were interviewed, and a total of 24 plant species belonging to 16 families were recorded.
