(August 2018) ETHNICITY, CONFLICT and IDENTITY: the SENSE of BELONGING AMONG the PAKHTUNS of SWAT, PAKISTAN ETHNICITY, CONFLICT AND IDENTITY: THE SENSE OF BELONGING AMONG THE PAKHTUNS OF SWAT, PAKISTAN SYED WASIF AZIM DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (August 2018) ETHNICITY, CONFLICT AND IDENTITY: THE SENSE OF BELONGING AMONG THE PAKHTUNS OF SWAT, PAKISTAN Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE (August 2018) Dedicated to the triangle of my father, mother and wife i ABSTRACT Violent conflicts have perpetual and perennial impacts on societies. Ethnic and national Identities of the people are no exception to this. This research study reflects on the impacts of conflict and violence on ethnic and national identities. The scarce literature linking conflict and identities (ethnic and national) argues that conflict and violence „soften‟ or „harden‟ these identities. Moreover, the bulging literature on post 2001 conflict in Pukhtun region of Pakistan does not primarily focus on the impacts of this conflict on Pukhtun ethnic and national identities. Using constructivist theoretical position and the case study of Swat Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this study addresses two research questions: what are the implications of conflict and violence in Swat for Pukhtun ethnic identity? And what are the consequences of the ongoing conflict for Pakistani national identity? Theoretically the study refutes the arguments in the literature that identity softens or hardens and argues that the impacts of conflict and violence on ethnic and national identities are complex and multi-dimensional. Methodologically, the study is based on an ethnographic field work comprising in-depth semi structured interviews, focus group discussions, ethnographic observations and field notes arranged from November 2016 to May 2017 in different administrative tehsils of Swat. This study proposes that during the conflict, performing aspects of ethnic identity i.e. cultural code (Pukhtunwali) was affected and transformed in multiple ways resulting in a perception that „ideal Pukhtunwali is dead.‟ Consequently, claims to ethnic identity contextually shift to ascribed aspects of Pukhtun identity i.e. language, land, tribal affiliations, and „birth in a Pukhtun home.‟ Likewise, the conflict adds to the complexity of Pukhtun ethnic identity by sharpening and straining intra-ethnic relations among the Pukhtuns. These diverse and multiple impacts can also be witnessed on different aspects of Pakistani national identity where it is neither lost nor reaffirmed. In this context, the study posits that there is a contest on the assumed unifying nature of Islam as a marker of Pakistani identity. Through the discourse of „pride and sacrifice‟, Pukhtuns own the nation state of Pakistan, yet on the other hand are critical of the state for not acknowledging and compensating the sacrifices of Pukhtuns in Swat. Similarly, Pakistani military is considered as an institution which significantly represents Pakistani national identity by Pukhtuns in Swat. The military‟s persuasive presence in Swat is in question. Celebrating national days like 23rd of March and 14th of August is another significant aspect of Pakistani national identity. Such impacts have significant repercussions for the state of Pakistan.

Pakistan and its Pukhtun population drew the attention of policy experts, media and academic inquiries from across the world. However, many of these media reports and the research studies conducted are distorted, incomplete, essentialist or stereotyped, mainly because of the lack of access to these conflict zones and the impression of colonial writings on these studies.

Disengaging a militant from violence and extremist tendencies is an uphill task because of his or her ideological and political association with a cause. A number of countries have developed de- radicalization programs to deal with the issue but the extent of their success remains debatable, notwithstanding the claims made by the states. Rehabilitation of detained militants becomes an integral part of any such program as part of the prevention strategy. The prison holds crucial significance in the de-radicalization strategy as many of these programs— including those in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom—run in prisons.

The statement fits like a glove to Pakistan’s counterterrorism approach that is characterized by a lack of innovation and creativity. Many believe that Islamabad lacks a coherent and comprehensive strategy to stem the rising tide of religious militancy and fight the menace of terrorism. But the government cites as proof of its commitment the establishment of National Counterterrorism Authority (NACTA) to examine the problem and devise a viable policy. It is not clear how much time NACTA would take to accomplish this job and, more importantly, if it would be able to rescue the country’s security doctrine from shadows of the Soviet-Afghan war. Pakistan’s present security narrative was developed in the context of that conflict, making it convenient for the defense establishment and the political administration to blame all domestic problems on external forces and factors. This approach has failed to evolve in synch with emerging threats. The country’s militant landscape has changed significantly in recent years, with militant strands such as the Punjabi Taliban posing new and increasingly worrying challenges for the state.

  • Rise of Taliban in Waziristan Khan Zeb Burki ∗
    Rise of Taliban in Waziristan Khan Zeb Burki ∗ Abstract Waziristan is in the eye of the storm since 2001. After the US invasion of Afghanistan and the overthrow of the Taliban government in 2002, Al-Qaeda and Taliban elements slipped into this region. The existing ground realities like terrain, tradition, administrative system, lack of political power, religious feelings, and socio-economic deprivation prevalent in Waziristan provided favourable and feasible ground for the rise and spread of Talibanization. The Pakistani troops moved into FATA to expel foreigners and check their further infiltration into the Pakistani tribal land. Military actions developed a sense of organization among the local Taliban in order to protect their friends and fight defensive jihad in Waziristan and hence Taliban groups emerged. NUMBER of groups emerged, and some prominent groups are Naik Muhammad Group, Abdullah Mehsud Group, Baitullah Mehsud Taliban Commandos, Mullah Nazir Group, Jalal-Ud- Din Haqani Group, Hafiz Gulbahadur Group. In 2007 a coherent group, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) came on the horizon. Soon a split occurred in TTP and Turkistan Baitanni Group and Abdullah Shaheed Group headed by Zain Ud Din stood against TTP. These groups remain dominant and have established their own regulation and Sharia in their area of influence. Keywords: Taliban, Waziristan, FATA, Pakistan Introduction The seed of Talibanization in Pakistan lies in General Zia-ul-Haq’s Afghan Policy. The support of Mujahideen and recruiting the Pakistani youth for Jihad in Afghanistan has proven to be a headache for Pakistan. Pakistan provided sanctuary to the Jihadis against the Soviet Union. The later formation of Taliban as an organized force with the help of Pakistani Intelligence Agency the ISI has become now a threat to ∗ Khan Zeb Burki, M.

  • Pakistan: End Reprisal and Crackdown Against Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement
    Pakistan: End reprisal and crackdown against Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (Bangkok/Kathmandu, 14 January 2021) – The recent arrests of Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) leaders by Pakistani authorities signal the deteriorating space for civic freedoms in the country, said the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) in a statement today. ‘The arrests of Ali Wazir and Dr Said Alam Mehsud also demonstrate the continued reprisals and crackdown on minority rights defenders in the country,’ said FORUM-ASIA’s Executive Director Shamini Darshni Kaliemuthu. ‘ PTM, a peaceful civil movement advocating for the rights of the ethnic Pashtun community has long been targeted and attacked by state authorities for their work against injustice faced by the Pashtun and other minority groups in the country. The Pakistani authorities should address the concerns of minority groups including Pashtuns and Baloch, end human rights violations against them, and create a safe environment for defenders to work free from reprisals,’ she said. Since its formation in 2018, PTM has been demanding an independent truth and reconciliation commission to investigate extrajudicial killings and the enforced disappearances of Pashtuns. However, instead of working towards addressing PTM’s demands, Pakistani authorities have used various tactics to suppress the movement through arrests of their members, false accusations of sedition,1 media censorship,2 and restrict freedom of assembly. On 1 May 2020, Arif Wazir, a leader of PTM and member of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Assembly was shot dead by unidentified gunmen.3 ‘The arrests of PTM leaders are meant to suppress and silence the voices from minority groups.
