  • Pakistan-U.S. Relations
    Pakistan-U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials praise Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S.

  • Government of Pakistan Ministry of Interior & Narcotics Control (Narcotics Control Division) Islamabad
    GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN MINISTRY OF INTERIOR & NARCOTICS CONTROL (NARCOTICS CONTROL DIVISION) ISLAMABAD. YEAR BOOK 2015-16 www.narcon.gov.pk 1 Government of Pakistan Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control Narcotics Control Division (Coordination Wing) *** EDITORIAL BOARD Mr. Ata Hussain Shah Hashmi Deputy Secretary Mr. Feroze Khan Section Officer Mr. Sajid Hussain Assistant Accounts Officer 2 MESSAGE FROM THE FEDERAL MINISTER FOR INTERIOR & NARCOTICS CONTROL Narcotics trafficking and drug abuse is a challenge faced by Pakistan since eighties. Not only narcotics and illegal drugs are trafficked through Pakistan to other countries, but a sizeable quantity of these substances are consumed among the local population. This has created a two fold challenge. Firstly, narcotics trafficking is earning a bad name for the country, secondly, the local consumption of these substances is causing a great harm to the social fabric of our society. The most vulnerable segments of population are youth, street children and student community at large. The Government of Pakistan has been aware of this challenge and has taken many steps to stem the tide of this menace. The very creation of Ministry of Narcotics Control in the year 1989 is an evidence of our resolve to put in place effective policy and operational mechanisms to check the drug trafficking and abuse in the country. Since the assumption of office by the present Government the Narcotics Control Division (NCD) is actively engaged in many areas relating to narcotics control, drugs supply reduction, demand reduction, and rehabilitation of addicts. We have also accelerated our contact with other international development partners – both at multi-lateral and bi-lateral levels.

  • Accession of the States Had Been the Big Issue After the Division of Subcontinent Into Two Major Countries
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No.I (January-June 2016) An Historical Overview of the Accession of Princely States Attiya Khanam The Women University, Multan Abstract The paper presents the historical overview of the accession of princely states. The British ruled India with two administrative systems, the princely states and British provinces. The states were ruled by native rulers who had entered into treaty with the British government. With the fall of Paramountacy, the states had to confirm their accession to one Constituent Assembly or the other. The paper discusses the position of states at the time of independence and unfolds the British, congress and Muslim league policies towards the accession of princely states. It further discloses the evil plans and scheming of British to save the congress interests as it considered the proposal of the cabinet Mission 1946 as ‘balkanisation of India’. Congress was deadly against the proposal of allowing states to opt for independence following the lapse of paramountancy. Congress adopted very aggressive policy and threatened the states for accession. Muslim league did not interfere with the internal affair of any sate and remained neutral. It respected the right of the states to decide their own future by their own choice. The paper documents the policies of these main parties and unveils the hidden motives of main actors. It also provides the historical and political details of those states acceded to Pakistan. 84 Attiya Khanam Key Words: Transfer of Power 1947, Accession of State to Pakistan, Partition of India, Princely States Introduction Accession of the states had been the big issue after the division of subcontinent into two major countries.

  • Principles of Modern American Counterinsurgency: Evolution And
    Terrain, Tribes, and Terrorists: Pakistan, 2006-20081 By David J. Kilcullen, Partner, The Crumpton Group LLC Brookings Counterinsurgency and Pakistan Paper Series. No. 3. “The two main factors for you will be the terrain and the tribes. You have to know their game and learn to play it, which means you first have to understand their environment,” Professor Akbar Ahmed told me in May 2006. In the field, with military and civilian teams and local people in locations across Afghanistan and Pakistan at various times through the next three years, the wisdom of Professor Ahmed’s insight came home to me again and again. The fact is that the terrain and the tribes drive ninety percent of what happens on the Frontier, while the third factor, which accounts for the other ten percent, is the presence of transnational terrorists and our reaction to them. But things seem very different in Washington or London from how they seem in Peshawar, let alone in Bajaur, Khyber or Waziristan—in that great tangle of dust-colored ridges known as the Safed Koh, or “white mountains”. This is a southern limb of the Hindu Kush, the vast range that separates Afghanistan (which lies on the immense Iranian Plateau that stretches all the way to the Arabian Gulf) from the valley of the Indus, the northern geographical limit of the Indian subcontinent. The young Winston Churchill, campaigning here in 1897, wrote that “all along the Afghan border every man’s house is his castle. The villages are the fortifications, the fortifications are the villages. Every house is loopholed, and whether it has a tower or not depends only on its owner’s wealth.”2 “All the world was going ghaza” Churchill was describing the operations of the Malakand Field Force around the village of Damadola, in Bajaur Agency, during the Great Frontier War of 1897— a tribal uprising inspired and exploited by religious leaders who co-opted local tribes’ opposition to the encroachment of government authority (an alien and infidel presence) into their region.

  • Practice and Politics of Corporal Punishment in Schools: a Case Study of District Peshawar, Pakistan
    PRACTICE AND POLITICS OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS: A CASE STUDY OF DISTRICT PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN Submitted By: AKHTAR MUNIR PhD Scholar Research Supervisor: PROF. DR. BASHARAT HUSSAIN A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Peshawar, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Social Work DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR FEBRUARY, 2019 Abstract The practice of corporal punishment against children is a common phenomenon around the world. This study examined the phenomenon of corporal punishment in schools of Peshawar, Pakistan as very minimum research has been carried out on this issue in Pakistan. Previous studies proved that the practice of corporal punishment is associated with numerous negative impacts on children whilst others indicate positive impacts. The present study addressed a range of dimensions from physical to psychological and from sociological to religious doctrine, which are linked with the phenomenon of corporal punishment. The research was conducted in Peshawar, Pakistan. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic in Pakistan, the selected methodology was qualitative, adopting a purposive sampling technique for participant selection. A sample of fifty interviewees was achieved; ten each of teachers, parents, child psychologists, religious scholars and non- government organization workers. Data was collected through in-depth interviews using an interview guide. To enhance validity and reliability data was triangulated with field notes and analysis of relevant policy documents and the research literature. Informed consent was obtained from each participant and data anonymity and confidentiality was ensured.
