  • The Colour Khaki
    tariq ali THE COLOUR KHAKI Now each day is fair and balmy, Everywhere you look: the army. Ustad Daman (1959) n 19 September 2001, General Pervaiz Musharraf went on TV to inform the people of Pakistan that their country Owould be standing shoulder to shoulder with the United States in its bombardment of Afghanistan. Visibly pale, blinking and sweating, he looked like a man who had just signed his own death warrant. The installation of the Taliban regime in Kabul had been the Pakistan Army’s only foreign-policy success. In 1978, the US had famously turned to the country’s military dictator General Zia-ul- Haq when it needed a proxy to manage its jihad against the radical pro-Soviet regime in Afghanistan. In what followed, the Pakistan Inter- Services Intelligence became an army within an army, with much of its budget supplied directly from Washington. It was the ISI that super- vised the Taliban’s sweep to power during Benazir Bhutto’s premiership of the mid-nineties; that controlled the infiltration of skilled saboteurs and assassins into Indian-held Kashmir; and that maintained a direct connexion with Osama bin Laden. Zia’s successors could congratulate themselves that their new province in the north-west almost made up for the defection of Bangladesh in 1971. Now it was time to unravel the gains of the victory: the Taliban pro- tectorate had to be dismantled and bin Laden captured, ‘dead or alive’. But having played such a frontline role in installing fundamentalism in Afghanistan, would the Pakistan Army and the ISI accept the reverse command from their foreign masters, and put themselves in the fore- front of the brutal attempt to root it out? Musharraf was clearly nervous new left review 19 jan feb 2003 5 6 nlr 19 but the US Defence Intelligence Agency had not erred.

  • Pakistan's Gramsci: the Life and Legacy of Sibte Hasan (1916-1986) Abstract: Sibte Hasan Was an Organic Intellectual Before
    Pakistan's Gramsci: The Life and Legacy of Sibte Hasan (1916-1986) Abstract: Sibte Hasan was an organic intellectual before the age of the so-called mass and social media. He was one of the founding members of the Progressive Writers Association in colonial India, as well as the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP), along with Sajjad Zaheer and Faiz Ahmad Faiz in postcolonial Pakistan. Like the famed Italian thinker and activist, Antonio Gramsci, Hasan endured repeated jail terms, first during his sojourn in the United States, and then in Pakistan in 1951-55, and again during the Ayub dictatorship. Both thinkers chose to write in their native languages, Italian for Gramsci and Urdu for Hasan. But unlike Gramsci, Hasan was lucky to escape continuous jail terms, as well as an overzealous prosecutor who had decided in Mussolini’s Italy that Gramsci’s intellect had to be stopped from functioning for twenty years. Hasan’s intellect though, flourished after his release from prison. Both Gramsci and Hasan were also concerned with producing organic and original theories, using Marxist concepts to apply to their material realities rather than the other way round. Hasan was one of the prominent protagonists in the battle of ideas in post-independence Pakistan which has continued to shape the debate over issues of identity, progress, religion and secularism – intellectually and in the public imagination. Not being a ‘specialist’, ‘expert’ and a drifter towards power and authority, Sibte Hasan took on big, much-needed subjects in his many works: whether the history of socialism in Musa say Marx Tak (from Moses to Marx); the people's history of Pakistani culture and its popular movements in Pakistan main Tehzeeb ka Irtiqa (The Evolution of Culture in Pakistan); or the departed cultures of the ancient Orient in Maazi kay Mazaar (Tombs of the Past); and documenting The Battle of Ideas in Pakistan and Inqalab-e-Iran (The Iranian Revolution), all from within a firmly Marxist and materialist perspective.

  • The Naissant Decades (1971-2010)
    IJSSHE-International Journal of Social Sciences, Humanities and Education Volume 1, Number 1, 2017 ISSN 2521-0041 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVOLUTION AND TRENDS OF PROGRESSIVE HISTORIOGRAPHY IN PAKISTAN: AN ESTIMATE OF THE NAISSANT DECADES (1971-2010) Dr. Mazher Hussain The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan Fakhar Bilal Royal Holloway University of London ABSTRACT The paper evolves the thematic assumption that historical consciousness reflected in progressive historiography in last four decades or so is primarily a reaction against the feudal fabric and outlook of the society and tends to understand the historical process and trends which paved way for the emergence of this school of historiography in the country. Progressive School of Historiography links itself with the progressive movement of mid-thirties which inspired a considerable number of scholars i.e. the leftist lot of the country. They adopted a self-motivated rather missionary approach to proliferate a historiographical ideal what is typically termed as the “other side” of History Writing. In the wake of revolutionary outburst of 1969 in the country- which claimed the first Martial Law regime, public hoped for the end of the country’s oppressive fabric forever. Although the endeavour remained fruitless yet it gave way to the realization of “social democracy” and “populism” in the country with an aim to create dialectic against the feudal as well as industrial classes of the country. The progressive historiographers were viewed as subversive to the indigenous history writing pursuits rather they were termed as hardliners both content and methodology they adopted for the promotion of their ideologies. Another phenomenon which emerges as the by-product of this dialectic was the influence of politics over the history writing which resulted into the leftist-rightist milieu.

  • Muttahida Qaumi Movement: Mode of Politics and Political Attitudes
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 22, No.2, July-December 2017 Muttahida Qaumi Movement: Mode of Politics and Political Attitudes Muhammad Abid* Abstract The emergence of Muttahida Qaumi Movement, popularly known as MQM, as a political party has created turbulence on the political scene of Pakistan, especially that of urban Sindh, for over three decades. It introduced a different style of political culture and apparently due to the same innovation, it has been facing a host of problems. Once a party, which stood intact in the face of military operation and deliberate onslaught from the state institutions, it is, nowadays, fragmented in three distinct sections. Issuing any statement of its founder and central figure, Altaf Hussain, or displaying his picture on Pakistani media, is banned. Moreover, even his name has been excluded from his own party’s manifesto. Seemingly, the political career of Altaf Hussain has been closed, and the state would not allow him to resume his previous standing. How the events led to such an impasse? What factors led MQM to this course of action? To answer these and similar questions about MQM, one needs to study the MQM style of politics and political attitudes critically in the context of urban Sindh, particularly in the historical backdrop of socio-economic and political conditions of Karachi. One also needs to take into account those factors that were instrumental in the formation of such characteristic style and culture of politics, which had become a hallmark of MQM. This analysis helps in identifying and comprehending those factors which, though, not known in the political literature of the world, are operative on the ground in urban Sindh.

  • Social Realism in Pakistani Short Story Genre
    ISSN-L: 2223-9553, ISSN: 2223-9944 Vol. 4 No. 2 March 2013 Academic Research International OF TABOOS AND SACREDNESS: SOCIAL REALISM IN PAKISTANI SHORT STORY GENRE Munawar Iqbal Ahmad 1, Muhammad Sheeraz 2 Department of English, International Islamic University, Islamabad PAKISTAN. 1 [email protected] , 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Literature is often conditioned by the socio-political conditions in a society. Consequently, in most cases, a bleak truth about society and history is exposed which is, sometimes, treated, owing to its apparent impropriety, as intolerable by many. This tradition of projecting social realism, in a fictionalized manner, about pre and post-independence Pakistan and Pakistani society has been kept intact, against all odds, by various short fiction writers – Ahmad Ali, Saadat Hassan Manto and Daniyal Mueenuddin being the most prominent of them. Ahmad Ali exposes, in many of his works, the social face of pre-independence Indian society, Manto X-rays, for most part, its post-independence body whereas Daniyal Mueenuddin gives a kind of ultrasonic analysis, predominantly, of its contemporary image, which, in many ways, is no different from pre-1947 era. The intended study assumes that Manto is the inheritor of the social realist tradition initiated by Ali, whereas Mueenuddin, in his short stories in Englsih, inherits it from Manto. They share the basic themes and thought but develop them according to the social milieu of their times and their individual idiosyncrasies. So, focusing on these three short fiction writers, the proposed study aims to explore tradition of social realism in indigenous short fiction.
