This paper focuses on how Pakistan attempted to achieve these "The capital of a country is the focus and goals and how successful it was in the center of the people's ambitions and creating this national identity. desires, and it is wrong to put them in an existing city," Pakistan's President The First Capital General Ayub Khan declared the need for In 1947, British India was partitioned on a new capital for a young Pakistan in the basis of religious demographics. This 1958. General Ayub's desire required led to the creation of the sovereign states bringing about greater national unity by of Pakistan and India - the areas with a rejecting a cultural baggage of the past for Muslim majority population became a a new national identity. This premise part of Pakistan whereas Hindu majority disqualified the cities of Karachi, a British areas became a part of an independent colonial legacy, and Lahore, a link to the India. As a result of this partition, Indian past, for becoming the capital of Pakistan at the time was geographically Pakistan. And so, planned between 1959 divided into two parts: the West wing and and 1963, arose Islamabad. Pakistan the East wing. All major cities previously envisioned that the new capital would used as national capitals and provincial assist in bringing East and West Pakistan capitals, such as Bombay, Calcutta, and together by becoming a symbol of New Delhi, were now a part of India. national pride. Thus, the struggle for Thus, Pakistan faced the task of choosing national identity as symbolized in the a capital for itself from a list of cities that creation of Islamabad became closely tied had not functioned as national capitals to the Pakistani national struggle itself - before. The newly-created Pakistan had inherent in both these struggles was a three main urban centers: Lahore and desire to start anew and fresh and the Karachi in West Pakistan and Dhaka in longing to claim what was uniquely its East Pakistan. Despite the economic and own.

But government dominated by the West it was a bustling, port city convenient for decided that the new capital be located in communication and transport between West Pakistan (Yakas 2001). the two 'wings'. Furthermore, it provided ample opportunities for major growth through commercial development and was fast-growing as the center for industrial enterprise in the region. Thus, Karachi became the first capital of Pakistan (Yakas 2001). Karachi's Diminishing Importance Karachi emerged as one of the subcontinent's major cities during colonial times. However, colonialism was also the cause of the city's uncontrollable growth and environmental decline. Figure 1 Map showing East and West Karachi bears the scars of the human Pakistan catastrophe that accompanied the (Source: Suburban Emergency Management Program) partition of British India like no other South Asian city. The partition caused the This left the choice between Lahore and transfer of fifteen million people across Karachi.

However, Lahore nothing in common with the people of continued to act as the capital of the 157 Sine!, the province in which Karachi was located. Thus, Karachi's sectarian tensions started early on (Harding 2007). Within a few months of independence, Karachi's population of about 450,000 swelled to over a million inhabitants. It became the center for General Ayub Khan's ambitious industrialization program after his coup d'etat in 1958. This economic expansion led to an ever- 1840 1860 1880 1900 1920 1940 19(0 1980 2000 2020 increasing number of immigrants from Figure 2 Trend of Population Growth other parts of the country.

The plan aimed to (Harding 2007). create a new administrative center outside Karachi which would be linked to the city by roads. This was to be accompanied by the construction of high- density, ten-storey apartment blocks in the central area of Karachi which would accommodate those who were occupying the central areas. However, the plan remained unimplemented due to a combination of political instability which prevailed in Pakistan until 1958 and because of a lack of funds (Harding 2007). 158 capital from scratch was an unnecessary luxury: Pakistan had its hands full in order to develop its nascent economy and could not afford the creation of a new city. Proponents for the new capital, however, said these arguments did not take into consideration the factor of time - a new town could not be built in a few years and thus, it was possible to prepare the first 5- year-plan in such a way so as to not hurt the country's economy. The proponents also felt that the current situation in Karachi had made the allocation of funds for administrative headquarters compulsory. The government was housed Figure 3 Karachi in the 1950s in old buildings, some not even designed (Source: Pakistani Defense Forum) for this purpose.

INTRODUCTION In the aftermath of the Indo-Pakistan War in December 1971, the independent nation-state of Bangladesh was born.' Within the next four months, more than fifty countries had formally recognized the new nation.2 As India's military intervention was primarily responsible for the success of the secessionist movement in what was then known as East Pakistan, and for the creation of a new political entity on the inter- national scene,3 many serious questions stemming from this historic event remain unresolved for the international lawyer. For example: (1) What is the continuing validity of Article 2 (4) of the United Nations Charter?4 (2) What is the current status of the doctrine of humanita- rian intervention in international law?5 (3) What action could the United Nations have taken to avert the Bangladesh crisis?6 (4) What measures are necessary to prevent such tragic occurrences in the fu- ture?7 and (5) What relationship exists between the principle of self- "- This paper is an adapted version of a chapter that will appear in Y.

  • Pakistan: Arrival and Departure
    01-2180-2 CH 01:0545-1 10/13/11 10:47 AM Page 1 stephen p. cohen 1 Pakistan: Arrival and Departure How did Pakistan arrive at its present juncture? Pakistan was originally intended by its great leader, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, to transform the lives of British Indian Muslims by providing them a homeland sheltered from Hindu oppression. It did so for some, although they amounted to less than half of the Indian subcontinent’s total number of Muslims. The north Indian Muslim middle class that spearheaded the Pakistan movement found itself united with many Muslims who had been less than enthusiastic about forming Pak- istan, and some were hostile to the idea of an explicitly Islamic state. Pakistan was created on August 14, 1947, but in a decade self-styled field marshal Ayub Khan had replaced its shaky democratic political order with military-guided democracy, a market-oriented economy, and little effective investment in welfare or education. The Ayub experiment faltered, in part because of an unsuccessful war with India in 1965, and Ayub was replaced by another general, Yahya Khan, who could not manage the growing chaos. East Pakistan went into revolt, and with India’s assistance, the old Pakistan was bro- ken up with the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. The second attempt to transform Pakistan was short-lived. It was led by the charismatic Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who simultaneously tried to gain control over the military, diversify Pakistan’s foreign and security policy, build a nuclear weapon, and introduce an economic order based on both Islam and socialism.

  • Pakistan's Army
    Pakistan’s Army: New Chief, traditional institutional interests Introduction A year after speculation about the names of those in the race for selection as the new Army Chief of Pakistan began, General Qamar Bajwa eventually took charge as Pakistan's 16th Chief of Army Staff on 29th of November 2016, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. Ordinarily, such appointments in the defence services of countries do not generate much attention, but the opposite holds true for Pakistan. Why this is so is evident from the popular aphorism, "while every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". In Pakistan, the army has a history of overshadowing political landscape - the democratically elected civilian government in reality has very limited authority or control over critical matters of national importance such as foreign policy and security. A historical background The military in Pakistan is not merely a human resource to guard the country against the enemy but has political wallop and opinions. To know more about the power that the army enjoys in Pakistan, it is necessary to examine the times when Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1947, both India and Pakistan were carved out of the British Empire. India became a democracy whereas Pakistan witnessed several military rulers and still continues to suffer from a severe civil- military imbalance even after 70 years of its birth. During India’s war of Independence, the British primarily recruited people from the Northwest of undivided India which post partition became Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the majority of the people recruited in the Pakistan Army during that period were from the Punjab martial races.

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.
