This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis focuses on the militarisation of a secessionist movement involving Kashmiri militants and Indian military forces in the north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The term militarisation in this thesis connotes the militarised state and, more primarily, the growing influence of the military within the state that has profound implications for state and society. In contrast to conventional approaches that distinguish between inter and intra-state military conflict, this thesis analyses India’s external and domestic crises of militarisation within a single analytic frame to argue that both dimensions are not mutually exclusive but have common political origins. Kashmir, this thesis further argues, exemplifies the intersection between militarisation’s external and domestic dimensions.

  • Surface Rupture of the 2005 Kashmir, Pakistan, Earthquake and Its Active
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 98, No. 2, pp. 521–557, April 2008, doi: 10.1785/0120070073 Ⓔ Surface Rupture of the 2005 Kashmir, Pakistan, Earthquake and Its Active Tectonic Implications by Heitaro Kaneda, Takashi Nakata, Hiroyuki Tsutsumi, Hisao Kondo, Nobuhiko Sugito, Yasuo Awata, Sardar S. Akhtar, Abdul Majid, Waliullah Khattak, Adnan A. Awan, Robert S. Yeats, Ahmad Hussain, Muhammad Ashraf, Steven G. Wesnousky, and Allah B. Kausar Abstract To provide a detailed record of a relatively rare thrust surface rupture and examine its active tectonic implications, we have conducted field mapping of the sur- M face rupture associated with the 2005 w 7.6 Kashmir earthquake. Despite the diffi- culty arising from massive earthquake-induced landslides along the surface rupture, we found that typical pressure ridges and warps extend northwestward for a distance of ∼70 km, with a northeast-side-up vertical separation of up to ∼7 m. Neither the main frontal thrust nor the main boundary thrust is responsible for the earthquake, but three active faults or fault segments within the Sub-Himalaya, collectively called the Balakot–Bagh fault, compose the causative fault. Although the fault exhibits sub- stantial geomorphic expression of repeated similar surface ruptures, only a part of it had been mapped as active before the earthquake. The location of the hypocenter suggests that the rupture was initiated at a deep portion of the northern–central seg- ment boundary and propagated bilaterally to eventually break all three segments. Our obtained surface rupture traces and the along-strike-slip distribution are both in good agreement with results of prompt analyses of satellite images, indicating that space geodesy can greatly aid in time-consuming field mapping of surface ruptures.

  • Hydel Power Potential of Pakistan 15
    Foreword God has blessed Pakistan with a tremendous hydel potential of more than 40,000 MW. However, only 15% of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far. The remaining untapped potential, if properly exploited, can effectively meet Pakistan’s ever-increasing demand for electricity in a cost-effective way. To exploit Pakistan’s hydel resource productively, huge investments are necessary, which our economy cannot afford except at the expense of social sector spending. Considering the limitations and financial constraints of the public sector, the Government of Pakistan announced its “Policy for Power Generation Projects 2002” package for attracting overseas investment, and to facilitate tapping the domestic capital market to raise local financing for power projects. The main characteristics of this package are internationally competitive terms, an attractive framework for domestic investors, simplification of procedures, and steps to create and encourage a domestic corporate debt securities market. In order to facilitate prospective investors, the Private Power & Infrastructure Board has prepared a report titled “Pakistan Hydel Power Potential”, which provides comprehensive information on hydel projects in Pakistan. The report covers projects merely identified, projects with feasibility studies completed or in progress, projects under implementation by the public sector or the private sector, and projects in operation. Today, Pakistan offers a secure, politically stable investment environment which is moving towards deregulation

  • Azad Kashmir
    Azad Kashmir The home of British Kashmiris Waving flags of their countries of origin by some members of diaspora (overseas) communities in public space is one of the most common and visible expressions of their ‘other’ or ‘homeland’ identity or identities. In Britain, the South Asian diaspora communities are usually perceived as Indian, Pakistani, (since 1971) Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. However, there is another flag that is sometimes sighted on such public gatherings as Eid festivals, Pakistani/Indian Cricket Matches or political protests across Britain. 1 This is the official flag of the government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. 'Azad Kashmir' is a part of the divided state of Jammu Kashmir. Its future is yet to be determined along with rest of the state. As explained below in detail, Azad Kashmir is administered by Pakistan but it is not part of Pakistan like Punjab, Sindh, Pakhtoon Khuwa and Baluchistan. However, as a result of the invasion of India and Pakistan to capture Kashmir in October 1947 and the subsequent involvement of United Nations, Pakistan is responsible for the development and service provision including passports for the people of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, another part of Kashmir that is not part of, but is controlled by, Pakistan. Under the same UN resolutions India is responsible for the Indian controlled part of Kashmir. In all parts of the divided Kashmir there are political movements of different intensity striving for greater rights and autonomy, self-rule and/or independence. The focus of this chapter, however, is primarily on Azad Kashmir, the home of nearly a million strong British Kashmiri community.

    SCHOLAR WARRIOR Know your Terrain Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) ROHIT SINGH General The state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) consists of three major regions namely Ladakh, Kashmir Valley and Jammu. The Princely state of J&K acceded to India in October 1947. On 26 October 1947 the first batch of Indian troops landed at Badgam airfield in Srinagar to evict the Pakistani invaders from J&K. By August 1948, the invaders were evicted from most parts of the valley and Jammu region. However by the time the UN effected ceasefire came into being in 1948, Pakistan had held on to 78037 sq km of territory which is now called Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK). In addition 5120 sq km of territory called the Shaksgam Valley was illegally ceded to China by Pakistan in 1963. POK lies between longitude 730 – 750 and latitude 330 – 360 and comprises an area of 13,297 square kilometres). The topography of the area is mainly hilly and mountainous with valleys and stretches of plains. The area is full of natural beauty with thick forest, fast flowing rivers and winding streams. Main rivers are the Jehlum, Neelum and Poonch. The climate is sub-tropical highland type with an average yearly rainfall of 1300 mm.

Padder* Department of Political Science, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India. A B S T R A C T The India-Pakistan dispute over Kashmir is one of the most intractable disputes in the contemporary world. Generally, both countries have pursued policies that revolved around their concerns about territoriality and sovereignty over Kashmir. However, in the last decade or so particularly after the revival of Composite Dialogue process in 2004, both countries are moving slowly from the state-centric to a people-centric approach by encouraging movement of people, goods and ideas across the heavily militarized Line of Control (LOC). One significant development in recent years has been the beginning of Cross-LoC trade in October 2008. It was 65 years ago in 1947 that trade across LoC had stopped. This paper deals with the nitty-gritty of Cross-LoC trade. It examines how business entities and individuals in the state view trade transactions with the other side and perceptions about the economic viability of Cross-LoC trade. It also investigates into the problems and prospects of conducting this duty free trade. Cross-LoC travel and trade has the potential to create transformational spaces which will help ease tensions over Kashmir and bring in the people of state to the centre stage in addressing the Kashmir issue. Keywords: Kashmir Conflict, India-Pakistan Relations, Peace, Cross-LoC Trade, Confidence Building Measures.

Amidst allegations of wide spread rigging and foul play, the PPP emerged as the victorious side. This is in line with the past history where the party in power in the federal government of Pakistan manages to pull off a win in the AJK. It took some time for PPP leadership to take a decision on the new Prime Minister. Lobbying for the prime job was reported but finally Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari approved Chaudhry Abdul Majid's name in consultation with the top PPP leaders including Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani.
