  • The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and Its Conflictual Context

    Georg Stöber Religious Identities Provoked: The Gilgit ‘Textbook Controversy’ and its Conflictual Context1 Abstract Textbooks, and the curricula on which they are based, are often used to foster specific identities that might not be the identity of a substantial part of the population. If they meet with pre-existing strife, even textbooks can provoke violent outbreaks, which can only be understood in the context of the underlying conflict. This article will analyse one example, putting it in the context of textbook politics in South Asia. In Gilgit (Northern Areas of Pakistan), protests against presentations of religious practices in school textbooks resulted in riots and deaths in 2004 as well as in the closure of schools for one year. Even if this specific issue seemed to have been solved in May 2005, tension continued. The population of this region is religiously heterogeneous (despite being Muslim). Developments in the Islamic World elsewhere (Iran, Afghanistan) deepened the divide. The region experienced ‘sectarian clashes’ for quite some time, the authorities being unable or unwilling to control them. This regional case is linked to the general (not only educational) policies of Pakistan, especially to the promotion of “the ideology of Pakistan”. Despite meeting with some criticism, this concept is not only used to demarcate the Pakistani “self” from the (especially Indian) “other”, but also to do away with internal differences. However, the attempt at homogenisation is counterproductive where it can be interpreted as being directed against specific group identities and interests. On Thursday, June 3, 2004, “one person was killed and several were injured when Shia protestors clashed with security forces in Gilgit city”.2 As the correspondent wrote, the army had imposed a curfew and “was called out in Gilgit to maintain law and order” in expectation of demonstrations.

Linguistics Supervisor: Dr Muhammad Islam ------------ Department of Linguistics and Communications (DLC) Institute of Liberal Arts (ILA) University of the Management and Technology (UMT), Lahore 2020 CDA OF PAKISTANI PARLIAMEANETARY DEBATES DEDICATED TO DR SANDI MICHELE de OLIVEIRA v CDA OF PAKISTANI PARLIAMEANETARY DEBATES Acknowledgement First of all, I am thankful to ALLAH Almighty for blessing me with the strength and patience to complete this arduous work. I owe special thanks to my respected teachers for their kind guidance and my parents for their invaluable prayers. I would like to thank my family which has suffered a lot but kept on extending its cooperation. I am also thankful to my friends and class fellows who have always supported and encouraged me. Special thanks to my supervisor, Dr Muhammad Islam, a wonderful human being, who has always supported and guided me like a friend and had more confidence in my capabilities than I (do). I am greatly indebted to Dr Muhammad Shaban, Dr Nadia Anwar and Dr Maria Isabel Maldonado for their guidance and support. I owe successful completion of my dissertation to HEC Pakistan for funding me through IRSIP scholarship for research at the University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Demark. I don‟t think it would have been possible to complete my dissertation without this financial support. I am unable to find suitable words to express my gratitude and appreciation to my respected supervisor, Dr Sandi Michele de Oliveira, Associate Professor, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark, for her guidance, cooperation and encouragement.
