MD for President Elect APPNA 2006 Dear APPNA Member ASSALAAM 0 ALAIKOM I have been an active life member of APPNA for the last several years. For the past eleven years, I have been serving APPNA in vari- ous positions. As a chair of the membership committee, we increased the membership to a record high of 2200. When I was the chairperson of the finance committee, for the first time in the last five years, life- time dues portfolio of APPNA outperformed the market contributing substantially in APPNA's financial health. At a local level, I started a very vibrant Arizona chapter of APPNA three years ago. As the elected treasurer of APPNA, I prepared a comprehen- sive budget for the first time in APPNA history that made the APPNA able to run the organi- zation in a professional manner. During my leadership of SMCAANA, our teamwork brought the membership from 60 to 224. During my Presidency we also started a successful BLS/ACLS training program in Pakistan with the help of many dedicated SMCians. I will continue working to make APPNA a strong platform to promote the interests of APPNA members in North America by providing legal assistance and resources to protect our civil liberties during these unique times. I will make every effort to continue existing pro- grams with common sense and fiscal responsibility. I will focus more on human rights issues in Pakistan and United States. I will help in educating our members regarding current special circumstances and guide and assist them to integrate socially, politically, and professionally into their communities without losing their own identity. I will facilitate our newer medical graduates to obtain 11 Visas and Residency Positions, create centralized bank of informa- tion for waiver positions and unmatched residency positions, work with APPNA Chapters to start free clinics in USA and enhance the relationship of Pakistani Americans by getting involved with their own local communities. I have already been elected twice by APPNA membership and served as a Treasurer and currently I am serving as the Secretary. This year, I am running for President Elect. I am requesting your support for my candidacy. Please vote base on candidates past efforts and record not on the basis of alumni or who they know. I will spend all my energy to bring every one on one platform to work as team. I believe in team work as this is the only way to deliver. We will move forward with your support and achieve what is rightfully ours. I request your vote. 2005 will not be a year of politics as usual for APPNA; rather it will be a year of hope and inspiration. Together we can make it happen. Please visit my website Nadeemkazi.com or you can contact me at nakaziapol.net. Thanks in advance for your support. - Paid Advertisement - 2 APPNA Newsletter, Vol. 15, No. 1, Spring 2005 President's Message Problems for young Pakistani Physicians.

This industry was established in Nepal in 1974 when the United States imposed country-specific quotas on more advanced countries and flourished with Nepal’s embrace of economic liberalisation in the 1990s. Post 2000 however, it faced two severe crises: the looming 2004 expiration of the US quota regime which would end the preferential treatment of Nepalese garments in international trade; and the local Maoist insurgency imposed serious labour and supply chain hurdles to its operations.

    “Pray for My Results:” Making One’s Self Worthy for Employment in Lahore Muntasir Sattar Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Muntasir Sattar All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT “Pray for My Results:” Making One’s Self Worthy for Employment in Lahore Muntasir Sattar In this dissertation, I explore how male university graduates in Lahore go about securing employment. Ethnographic exploration of what seems to be an individual quest in the temporal juncture between completing a degree and securing full time employment is in fact an intensively social and political process. Participant observation of these career-building endeavors in and around a hostel, an ‘academy,’ and in a call center speaks to the way graduates orient themselves and endeavor to create their future in a stratified society. Accounts of experiences of job seekers reveal how different forms of capital are mobilized in the processes. The goal that often drives aspirations and strategies is that of elite government service, indicative of a time of anemic economic growth and perceived political instability. The state then sets the standard for achievement of graduates’ career goals, motivated by security, status, and stability. Thus, the state looms large in the ways young men figure their future, in a way, becoming an arbiter in an encounter between job seekers and the structure of power relations. That is, unemployed graduates need to become worthy or achieve merit, adjusting or cultivating one’s habitus in order to get there.

Mechanics of Mobilization: The Making of a Taxi Workers Alliance Abstract This dissertation examines the political engagement and occupational struggles of South Asian immigrant taxi workers in an American metropolis, and their participation in a taxi workers alliance. Contrary to popular understandings of South Asian immigrants as a model minority --- politically passive and economically successful professionals --- these South Asian immigrant taxi workers often struggle to make ends meet, and are actively involved in both leadership positions of their workers alliance as well as the rank and file. urF ther, their political engagements and their creative strategies to survive, maximize income, and achieve upward mobility show how poorer immigrants in non-professional occupations cannot be viewed simplistically as victims of structural exploitation. Using primary data (interviews with stakeholders in the taxicab industry) and secondary data (legislative records, Census data, newspaper archives), this study explores if, how and why immigrant workers chose to participate in this political mobilization. It recognizes three important factors that enabled the successful mobilization of this occupational group.
