Amid complex tribal relations, the Pashtuns abide by a very strict cultural code of Pashtunwali that espouses underlying themes of independence, egalitarianism and honor- themes which are apparent in both Pashtun and rival ethnic tribe's methods of dispute resolution- and that promotes the respect of individual and tribal autonomy. Harnessing the aforementioned themes by promoting respect through positive interactions through focusing on commonalities in dispute resolution may aid the establishment of a culture of peace to combat the cycles of violence in Pashtun conflicts. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................... ii LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. v LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS .................................................................................. vi CHAPTER 1 lntroduction ............................................................................ 1 Perceptions of Legitimacy ................................................................ 9 CHAPTER 2 Pashtunwali: The Way of the Pashtuns ............................... 14 Pashtun Tribal Relations and Pashtunwali .................................... 20 Dispute Resolution Mechanisms .................................................... 26 External Conflicts ........................................................................... 33 Pashtunwali, Islam and Non-Violence: The Pashtun Peace Movement ...................................................................................... 35 Conclusion ..................................................................................... 39 CHAPTER 3 Islam and Pashtunwali: Competing Influences? ................. .41 Taliban Ideology and Rule ............................................................ .44 Conclusion ..................................................................................... 51 CHAPTER 4 Barriers to Sustainable Conflict Management ..................... 54 Establishing the Durand Line ......................................................... 55 Post Durand Line ........................................................................... 61 Pakistan and the Rise of Communism ........................................... 62 Post Soviet Withdrawal .................................................................. 67 111 Post 9/11 ....................................................................................... 69 The Relationship between Political Dynamics in Pakistan and the Pashtun conflicts in AfPak: Situation Pre and Post-9111 ... ............. 71 Pashtun Conflicts and Pakistan's Political Rivalries, the Military and the lSI ............................................................................................ 74 Political Instability, Legitimacy and Authority as Barriers to Sustainable Conflict Management in Pashtun conflicts ................. 81 CHAPTER 5 Predictions and Suggestions for the Future ........................ 83 REFERENCES .................................................................................................... 92 IV LIST OF TABLES Table 1.

Afghanistan is located in very rugged mountainous terrain, which presents a formidable physical obstacle to those who fight widely dispersed insurgents. Hamid Karzai's government is struggling to build capacity so it can establish legitimacy throughout the country, which is further confounded by the bustling opium production, a contributing factor to fuel the present conflict. Furthermore, the Taliban's ability to easily transit the border from Afghanistan to Pakistan has challenged coalition forces ability to contain the conflict. As a neighbor to Afghanistan, political factions have continuously vied for control over Pakistan's 60 years of existence in a game of politics that is rooted in ideological and ethnic divisions. At the center of these divisions are the Pashtuns, whose population straddles the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. This study analyzes aspects of the current conflict in Afghanistan involving the Pashtuns and suggests a framework for enduring dispute resolution mechanisms by focusing on specific elements of Pashtunwali, the Pashtun's social "code." It is argued that this approach can transform a culture of violence into a culture of peace for the promotion of non-violent stability in the frontier region on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan (AfPak). I focus on the 2 following aspects in this study to provide an assessment of the current conflict and to make recommendations about the mechanisms for better conflict management employing indigenous methods. Analysis focuses on: 1. Pashtunwali as a code of social conduct and mechanism for dispute resolution 2. The role of Islam in recent Pashtun conflicts and movements 3. The role of tribal rivalries 4. The effect of Afghanistan's and Pakistan's politics on the Pashtun population The Pashtuns are a group of people that have lived on the border of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan since before the birth of Christ. They are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan and the second largest ethnic group in Pakistan. In spite of the Durand Line border demarcation that split Pashtun land in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a large portion of this border remains uncharted and relatively autonomous with regard to the Afghan and Pakistan central governments (Johnson and Mason 2008: 44). Additionally, the terrain of the border region between the two countries is so rough and rugged that geologists have qualified it as the only place on Earth that mostly closely resembles Mars (Ibid). Significantly, AI-Qaeda, the Taliban, and many other fundamentalist Islamic insurgent groups have found a safe haven among the Pashtuns, in part due to their cultural code of Pashtunwali, a code that values honor, revenge, and hospitality. Particularly disconcerting to those in search of Osama bin Laden is 3 the Pashtunwali tenet of Nanawatey, which requires Pashtuns to grant asylum to fugitives (Khan 1999, 34). This tenet obligates the Pashtun to protect any fugitive in the interest of maintaining honor and social standing in their respective communities. The Pashtuns strategic location in Central Asia has been a partial cause of seemingly never-ending conflicts. From the colonial British and Russians jockeying for influence in the region, to the partitioning of Pakistan, the Soviet invasion, the rise of the Taliban, and the subsequent U.S. invasion- the Pashtuns have endured their fair share of conflict. On their side, the Pashtuns continue to follow a sociai code of conduct known as Pashtunwali, which dictates patterns of social interaction. Invaders have typically characterized the Pashtuns as a violent warrior culture. Furthermore, the environment of perpetual conflict in the region has been a contributing factor to the evolution of a continuing culture of

Williamsburg, VA, 23188 Pashtunistan: Pakistan’s Shifting Strategy? Pashtunistan: Pakistan’s Shifting Strategy? The Pashtun tribes have yearned for a “tribal homeland” in a manner much like the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. And as in those coun- tries, the creation of a new national entity would have a destabilizing impact on the countries from which territory would be drawn. In the case of Pashtunistan, the previous Afghan governments have used this desire for a national homeland as a political instrument against Pakistan. Here again, a border drawn by colonial authorities – the Durand Line – divided the world’s largest tribe, the Pashtuns, into two the complexity of separate nation-states, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where they compete with other ethnic groups for primacy. Afghanistan’s governments have not recog- nized the incorporation of many Pashtun areas into Pakistan, particularly Waziristan, and only Pakistan originally stood to lose territory through the creation of the new entity, Pashtunistan. This is the foundation of Pakistan’s policies toward Afghanistan and the reason Pakistan’s politicians and PASHTUNISTAN military developed a strategy intended to split the Pashtuns into opposing groups and have maintained this approach to the Pashtunistan problem for decades. Pakistan’s Pashtuns may be attempting to maneuver the whole country in an entirely new direction and in the process gain primacy within the country’s most powerful constituency, the military.

  • Diverse Genetic Origin of Indian Muslims: Evidence from Autosomal STR Loci
    Journal of Human Genetics (2009) 54, 340–348 & 2009 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/09 $32.00 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE Diverse genetic origin of Indian Muslims: evidence from autosomal STR loci Muthukrishnan Eaaswarkhanth1,2, Bhawna Dubey1, Poorlin Ramakodi Meganathan1, Zeinab Ravesh2, Faizan Ahmed Khan3, Lalji Singh2, Kumarasamy Thangaraj2 and Ikramul Haque1 The origin and relationships of Indian Muslims is still dubious and are not yet genetically well studied. In the light of historically attested movements into Indian subcontinent during the demic expansion of Islam, the present study aims to substantiate whether it had been accompanied by any gene flow or only a cultural transformation phenomenon. An array of 13 autosomal STR markers that are common in the worldwide data sets was used to explore the genetic diversity of Indian Muslims. The austere endogamy being practiced for several generations was confirmed by the genetic demarcation of each of the six Indian Muslim communities in the phylogenetic assessments for the markers examined. The analyses were further refined by comparison with geographically closest neighboring Hindu religious groups (including several caste and tribal populations) and the populations from Middle East, East Asia and Europe. We found that some of the Muslim populations displayed high level of regional genetic affinity rather than religious affinity. Interestingly, in Dawoodi Bohras (TN and GUJ) and Iranian Shia significant genetic contribution from West Asia, especially Iran (49, 47 and 46%, respectively) was observed. This divulges the existence of Middle Eastern genetic signatures in some of the contemporary Indian Muslim populations.
