ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological frameworks from urban studies to analyze the social and historical processes of urbanization that have led to the perception of Karachi as a city of violence. It then uses the distinction that Michel de Certeau draws between strategy and tactic in his seminal work The Practice of Everyday Life to analyze how Karachiites inhabit, imagine, and invent their city in the midst of – and in spite of – ongoing urban violence.

Introduction and Context: This paper is divided into five parts and draws attention towards key issues that are steering the elections 2018. First, Identifying the current trends, it sheds some light on 2013 elections and how the Census 2017 and youth bulge could influence the outcome of 2018 elections.

Third, it focuses on the confrontational politics of Sharif Family and PML-N and how the opposition political parties and the military is responding to it and that could set new parameters for civil-military relations in the post election phase.

O R D E R Petitioner claims to be a nominee for Human Rights Commission for South Asia and has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973 by impugning the order dated 27.8.2019, whereby Mr. Waseem Akhter, Mayor, Karachi has suspended the services of Syed Mustafa Kamal as Voluntary Project Director Garbage. 2. We queried from the Petitioner under what law he has called in question the order dated 27.8.2019 passed by Mayor Karachi. Petitioner, who is present in person, has submitted that this is a public interest litigation, as such he has no any personal interest in the matter, however, he emphasized that Syed Mustafa Kamal since has shown his willingness to clean the city of Karachi, therefore, the impugned suspension order dated 27.8.2019 passed by the Mayor Karachi is against the voice of public at large. We put another question to him whether he has submitted any document which may show his membership for Human Rights Commission for South Asia (HRCSA) to institute a Writ Petition before this Court. Petitioner has failed to reply the query; however, he submitted that he can agitate relief on his behalf as well as on behalf of public at large on the premise that State functionaries have failed to perform their duties relating to welfare of public at large under the law.
