1 See Samuel P. Huntington and Joan M. Nelson, No Easy Choices (Cam Notes NOTES TO PREFACE 1 See Samuel P. Huntington and Joan M. Nelson, No Easy Choices (Cam­ bridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1976) for a summary statement on the main findings of this group of scholars. 2 Shahid Javed Burlci, 'Interest Group Involvement in West Pakistan's Rural Works Program', Public Policy, XIX, Winter 1971, pp. 167-206. 1 INTRODUCTION 1 Interview given to Oriana Fallaci and reproduced by her in her book, Interview with History (New York: Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1976), pp. 182-209. The quotation is from p. 209. 2 Soon after assuming office, Bhutto gave a number of interviews to foreign correspondents and Pakistani and foreign academics. In addition to the Oriana Fallaci interview (n. 1 above) for Bhutto's assessment of his political rivals, see also the book of an Indian journalist based mostly on his discussions with Bhutto; Dilip Mukerjee, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto: Quest for Power (Ddhi: Vikas Publishing, 1972). 3 Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Political Situation in Pakistan (Lahore: Pakistan People's Party, 1969), passim. 4 For the belief that Bhutto was serious in bringing back Western-style democracy to Pakistan see Anwar H. Syed, 'The Pakistan People's Party: Phases One and Two', in Lawrence Ziring, Ralph Braibanti and W. Howard Wriggins (eds), Pakistan: The Long View (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1977), pp. 70-116. This article is based in part on Professor Syed's interview with Bhutto. Also see, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Let the People Judge (Lahore: Pakistan People's Party, 1969) which is an impassioned defence against the charges levelled at him by General Mohammad Musa, Gover­ nor-General of West Pakistan (1967-9) and aconfidantofAyub's during the period after Bhutto's departure from the government. 5 Pakistan People's Party, The Election Manifesto (Lahore: Pakistan People's Party, 1970). 6 Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, The Great Tragedy (Karachi: Vision Publications, 1971). 7 The role of 'idiosyncratic element' in decision-making has received much greater attention in political history than in economic history. Erik Erikson, Gandhi's Truth: On the Origins of Militant Non-Violence (New York: W. W. Norton, 1969) is perhaps the best work on an Asian leader. Notes to Chapter 2 241 2 INSIDERS AND OUI'SIDERS 1 For an analysis of the geographical distribution of the refugee population see Shahid Javed Burld, Pakistan: A Demographic Report (Washington, D.C.: Population Reference Bureau, 1973). 2 For a description of the system of administration introduced by Lord Lawrence in the Punjab, see Sir Charles Aitchison, Lord Lawrma and the Reconstmction of India Under the Crown (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1916). Also see R. Bosworth Smith, Life of Lord Lawrma (New York: Charles Scribner, 1883), pp. 155-80. 3 Useful sources for a description of these relationships are J. M. Douie, Lond Settlement Manual (Lahore: Government of West Pakistan, 5th rev. edn, 1960) and a number of village surveys published by the Punjab Board of Economic Inquiry. As an example of the village surveys see Randhir Singh and W. Roberts, An Economic Survey of Kala Gaddi Tlwmman (Chak 73 G.B.): A Village in the Lyallpur Distria of the Punjab (Lahore: Board of Economic Inquiry, Punjab, 1932). 4 The term 'little republics' was used originally by F. L. Brayne in Better Villages (London: Oxford University Press, 1938). 5 Khushwant Singh, The Sikhs (London: Allen & Unwin, 1953). 6 See Philip Mason's account in A Matter of Honor: An Account of the Indian A7711J, its Officers and Men (New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1974) for the role played by the soldiers recruited in the Punjab in hdping to put down the mutiny of the purbiyas- the easterners. 7 Quoted in A. B. Rajput, The Muslim League Yesterday and Today (Lahore: Mohammad Ashraf, 1948), pp. 19-20. 8 For an account of the attitude of the large landed families towards the Pakistan movement see Azim Husain, Fazl-i-Husain: A Political Biography (Bombay: Longmans, 1946). 9 The best analysis to date of the mass migration of people that accompanied the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 is to be found in Joseph B. Schectman, Population Transfers in Asia (New York: Hallsby Press, 1949), pp. 5-.30. Also see Theodore P. Wright Jr., 'Indian Muslim Refugees in the Politics of Pakistan', Journal of Commonwealth on Comparative Politics, XII, March 1974, pp. 189-205. 10 Shahid Javed Burki, 'Migration, Urbanization and Politics in Pakistan' in W. Howard Wriggins and James F. Guyot (eds), Population, Politics and the Future of Southern Asia (New York: Columbia University Press, 1973), pp.147-89. 11 The best modem account of the devdopment of the irrigation system in the Punjab is in Aloys A. Michel, The Indus Rivers: A StudyoftheEffectsof Partition (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1967), pp. 22-98. 12 Quoted in Jamiluddin Ahmad (ed.), Speeches and Writings of Mr. ]innah (Lahore: Mohammad Ashraf, 1952), p. 153. 13 J. Russell Andrus and Azizali F. Mohammed, The Economy of Pakistan (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1958), pp. 156-65. 14 See Shahid Javed Burki, 'Economic Decisionmaking in Pakistan' in Law­ rence Ziring, Ralph Braibanti and W. Howard Wriggins (eds), Pakistan: The Long View (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1977),pp. 140-72foran 242 Pakistan under Bhutto, 1971-7 analysis of economic decision-making during this period. 15 Despite its role in dividing India and founding the independent state of Pakistan, the Muslim League remains to be carefully studied as a political party. Some useful works are available dealing with the founding of the party and its development as a mass organisation. See A. B. Rajput, Muslim League Yesterday and Today (Lahore: Mohammed Ashraf, 1948) and Z. H. Zaidi, 'Aspects of the Development of Muslim League Policy', in C. M. Philips and Mary Doreen Wainwright ( eds), The Partition ofIndia: Policies and Perspectives, 1935-1947 (Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press, 1 WO), pp. 245-75. 16 Khalid B. Sayeed, 'The Personality of Jinnah and his Political Strategy' in Philips and Wainwright (eds), op. cit., pp. 276-93. 17 In counting the families who made up the landed aristocracy in the provinces of the Punjab, Sind and Baluchistan, I have relied on land records as maintained by the Land Administration Department. For an excellent historical survey of the big landed families of the Punjab see Lepel H. Griffin, Chiefs and Families of Note in the Punjab (Lahore: Superintendent of Govem­ ment Printing, rev. edn, 1940). See also Sir Denzil lbbetson, Punjab Castes (Lahore: Superintendent of Govemment of Printing, 1916), Hugh K. Tres­ vaskis, The Land of the Five Rivers (London: Oxford University Press, 1928) and Craig Baxter, 'The People's Partyvs. the PunjabFeudalists' inJ. Henry Korson (ed.), Contemporary Problems of Palcistan (Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1974), pp.6-29. 18 For an expression of this view see Reginald Coupland, The Indian Problem (Clarendon: Oxford University Press, 1944); see also Khalid Bin Sayeed, Pakistan: The Formative Phase (London: Oxford University Press, 1968), p. 224. Sayeed suggests that the landlords with 163 out of 503 members of the Muslim League Council constituted the largest and the most influential interest group within the party. 19 For a good but somewhat biased account of the role played by Nazimuddin in Bengali politics, in particular the way it related to the Pakistan movement, see Kamruddin Ahmad, The Social History of East Palcistan (Dacca: Pioneer Press, 1967). 20 Choudhury Khaliquzzaman's autobiography, Pathway to Pakistan (Lahore: Longrnans, 1961), provides a very good account of the circumstances that led to the involvement of the class of urban professionals in the Pakistan movement. Khaliquzzaman himself was a highly successful lawyer in the United Provinces, the present-day Uttar Pradesh. 21 My estimate based on the somewhat scanty biographical data available in the Muslim League records. These records are bound to yield, once they are carefully analysed, firmer indication of the social and economic background of the more prominent participants in the Muslim League. 22 Hanna Papanek, 'Pakistan's Big Businessmen: Muslim Separatism, Entrep­ reneurship and Partial Modernization', Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 21, October 1W2, Table 1, p. 27. Papanek lists the houses of Dawood, Habib, Adamjee, Crescent, Saigol, Valika, Hyesons, Bawany, Amin, W azirali, Fancy and Colony as the twelve largest in the country in the late 1960s. Of these only two, W azirali and Colony, both from Lahore, were 'native' to Pakistan. 23 In suggesting that India's industrial development began in the late Notes to Chapter 2 243 nineteenth century, I have followed Alexander Gerschenkron, Economic BadcwardiWs in Historical Perspectiw: A Book of Essays (Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1962). 24 S.M. Jamil (ed.), Muslim YearBookofbulia, 1948-1949(Bombay: Bombay Newspaper Co., n.d.). 25 The term is that of Hanna Papanek; see her 'Pakistan's Big Businessmen: Muslim Separatism, Entrepreneurship and Partial Modernization', op. cit., p.13. 26 The following four companies were set up as a part of Jinnah's efforts to build an independent industrial-commercial sector for the Muslims: Habib Bank Limited, Eastern Federal (Insurance) Union, Muhammadi Steamship Company and Orient Airways. 27 For a description of the economic relations between the states of India and Pakistan in the period immediately following independence in 1947, see C.

Raghara Rao, Economic Relations Between India and Pakistan: Need for International Cooperation (Bombay: Vora & Co., 1965). 28 Government of the Punjab, Report of the Court of Inquiry Constituted Under Punjab Act II of 1954: Enquiry into Punjab Disturbances of 1953 (Lahore: Government Printing Press, 1954), p. 387. 29 Government of Pakistan, Report of Pakistan Pay Commission (Karachi: Gover­ nor-General's Press, 1949), p. 28. 30 Government of the Punjab, Report of the Court of Inquiry ..

Tahir Ali Shah Assistant Director Mr. Shafiullah Khan Assistant Director 2 Table of Content 1. Introduction 2. Scheme of Studies for BS (4-Year) in Pakistan Studies 3. Details of Courses for BS (4-Year) in Pakistan Studies a) Foundation Courses b) Major and Elective Courses 4. Annexure – C, D, E & F. 3 PREFACE Curriculum development is a highly organized and systematic process and involves a number of procedures. Many of these procedures include incorporating the results from international research studies and reforms made in other countries. These studies and reforms are then related to the particular subject and the position in Pakistan so that the proposed curriculum may have its roots in the socio- economics setup in which it is to be introduced. Hence, unlike a machine, it is not possible to accept any curriculum in its entirety. It has to be studied thoroughly and all aspects are to be critically examined before any component is recommended for adoption. In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Federal Supervision of Curricula Textbooks and Maintenance of Standards of Education Act 1976, the Federal Government vide notification No. D773/76-JEA (cur.), dated December 4th 1976, appointed the University Grants Commission as the competent authority to look after the curriculum revision work beyond class XII at the bachelor level and onwards to all degrees, certificates and diplomas awarded by degree colleges, universities and other institutions of higher education.

  • Pakistan's Journey to Civilian Rule
    DOI: 10.31703/glsr.2016(I-I).01 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.31703/glsr.2016(I-I).01 p- ISSN: 2708-2458 e-ISSN: 2708-2466 L-ISSN: 2708-2458 Vol. I, No. I (2016) Pages: 1 – 8 Pakistan’s Journey to Civilian Rule (1958-70): An Analysis of Ayub Era Adil Khan * Manzoor Ahmad † Abdul Waheed ‡ Abstract Pakistan, since its inception, has passed through several phases of transitions to civilian rule and authoritarian reversals. Similar to the pattern of transition between civilian rule and dictatorship, there is a pattern of change within authoritarian Regimes that could be observed in all the three experiences of transition in Pakistan. This paper identifies the pattern of change from military dictatorship to civilian rule from 1958 to 1970. The key questions addressed in this paper are: firstly, how the military regime consolidated its grip on power after the October 1958 coup? Secondly, how early cracks appeared in the military’s control over power and matured with the passage of time, resulting in a national crisis? Thirdly, how failure in crises management led to the transition to civilian rule, as well as, the disintegration of the state. Key Words: Pakistan, Authoritarianism, Military, Political Parties, Civilian Rule Introduction Political instability, weak political culture, economic crises and continuous intervention of civil and military bureaucracy during the first decade after independence led to the October coup of 1958. The regime established in the post-coup period showcased itself as the proponent of the reform agenda. After banning all political activities, a reform program was launched in all the major political, social and economic sectors.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

In the case of East Pakistan, it has been written by the losers. One general,1 one lieutenant general,2 four major generals,3 and two brigadiers4 have given their account of the events leading to the secession of East Pakistan. Some of their compatriots, who witnessed or participated in the event, are still reluctant to publish their impressions. The credibility of such accounts depends on whether they were written for self-justification or for introspection. The utility of such accounts depends on whether they are relevant. On both counts, these recollections of the late Major General Khadim Hussain Raja are of definite value. They are candid and revealing; they are also imbued with respect for the opposite point of view.

At the very outset I would like to express deepest gratitude and thanks to my supervisor, Dr. Gyanesh Kudaisya, who provided constant support and guidance to this doctoral project. His depth of knowledge on history and related concepts guided me in appropriate direction. His interventions were both timely and meaningful, contributing towards my own understanding of interrelated issues and the subject on one hand, and on the other hand, injecting my doctoral journey with immense vigour and spirit. Without his valuable guidance, support, understanding approach, wisdom and encouragement this thesis would not have been possible. His role as a guide has brought real improvements in my approach as researcher and I cannot measure his contributions in words. I must acknowledge that I owe all the responsibility of gaps and mistakes in my work. I am thankful to his wife Prof.

  • The Human Development Indices 1
    Synthesis paper – ELISAN An illustration of alternative index to the GDP : the Human Development Indices 1 The Human Development Index (HDI) is an index used to rank countries by level of "human development", which usually also implies whether a country is developed, developing, or underdeveloped. The Human Development approach arose in part as a result of growing criticism to the leading development approach of the 1980s, which presumed a close link between national economic growth and the expansion of individual human choices. Many, such as Dr. Mahbub ul Haq, the Pakistani economist who played a key role in formulating the human development paradigm, came to recognize the need for an alternative development model due to many factors. As of 1990, the human development concept was applied to a systematic study of global themes, as published in the yearly global Human Development Reports under the auspice of the UNDP. The work of Amartya Sen and others provided the conceptual foundation for an alternative and broader human development approach defined as a process of enlarging people’s choices and enhancing human capabilities (the range of things people can be and do) and freedoms, enabling them to: live a long and healthy life, have access to knowledge and a decent standard of living, and participate in the life of their community and decisions affecting their lives. Human development has always been flexible and “open-ended” with respect to more specific definitions.
