The Tribes of Pakistan: Finding Common Ground, Paterson ii ABSTRACT The tribes of Pakistan have endured for thousands of years despite the best efforts of a succession of unwelcome guests. I attempt to illustrate that whatever holds people together through social, political and theological upheaval, continues to hold the tribes of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas together. There is value located in understanding the glue that holds communities together and developing this falls to examining theories on social cohesion and sources of governance legitimacy. These surface questions related to the form and content of ungoverned spaces and suggest engagement strategies with the tribes that incorporate a perspective on legitimacy that includes hybridized expressions of governance. Key to this is the assumption that a stable and predictable border with Afghanistan is an interest of the Pakistani government. Based on the literature and field interviews, I suggest that this is not certain. If it is, then a re-imagined governance relationship between the tribes and Islamabad may produce significant political and social dividends. The Tribes of Pakistan: Finding Common Ground, Paterson iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have renewed appreciation for the phrase, “Standing on the shoulders of giants.” During the writing of my paper there was no shortage of feelings rooted in the isolating aspect of a work of this sort, but even then I recognized the fiction in this feeling. This paper is comprised of the thoughts and ambitions of literally hundreds of people who stand tall by virtue of their work, their intellectual engagement with the world and the quality and character of their lives. To the people I met and shared ideas with in Pakistan, my thanks for your hospitality and my deep respect for your commitment to realizing your Nation’s grandest visions for itself. Among so many other things, you all showed me how the hard work of Nation-building happens in classrooms and coffee shops, on street corners and in all the places where people come together to turn big ideas into the thousand small acts that comprise courageous change. I want especially to thank our good friend Hussain Ali Sina who exemplifies the twin Pakhtunwali virtues of tura and aql; thank you Hussain for being a good friend and gracious host. To Hrach Gregorian; what to say? Your brand of tough love characterizes some of my best friendships: honest, courageous in the pursuit and support of truth, tolerant without being indulgent and pointed without being barbed. Thank you for all I’ve learned through our collaboration on this paper and the coursework which preceded it. Rumi offers the following guidance to my last acknowledgement: “Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbour. Cautious people say: I'll do nothing until I can be sure". It is with the kind of abundant gratitude that embarrasses The Tribes of Pakistan: Finding Common Ground, Paterson iv people when said out loud that I say to my best friend and wife, Kimberly: Thank you for risking the ocean with me.

  • A Case Study of Mahsud Tribe in South Waziristan Agency
    RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY By MUHAMMAD IRFAN MAHSUD Ph.D. Scholar DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (SESSION 2011 – 2012) RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY 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 (December, 2018) DDeeddiiccaattiioonn I Dedicated this humble effort to my loving and the most caring Mother ABSTRACT The beginning of the 21st Century witnessed the rise of religious militancy in a more severe form exemplified by the traumatic incident of 9/11. While the phenomenon has troubled a significant part of the world, Pakistan is no exception in this regard. This research explores the role of the Mahsud tribe in the rise of the religious militancy in South Waziristan Agency (SWA). It further investigates the impact of militancy on the socio-cultural and political transformation of the Mahsuds. The study undertakes this research based on theories of religious militancy, borderland dynamics, ungoverned spaces and transformation. The findings suggest that the rise of religious militancy in SWA among the Mahsud tribes can be viewed as transformation of tribal revenge into an ideological conflict, triggered by flawed state policies. These policies included, disregard of local culture and traditions in perpetrating military intervention, banning of different militant groups from SWA and FATA simultaneously, which gave them the raison d‘etre to unite against the state and intensify violence and the issues resulting from poor state governance and control.

  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

Previous work on Pashto proverbs have romanticised proverbs as a cultural asset and a source of Pashtun pride and ethnic identity, and most studies have aimed to promote or preserve folk proverbs. However, there is little recognition in previous literature of the sexist and gendered role of proverbs in Pashtun society. This study argues that Pashto proverbs encode and promote a patriarchal view and sexist ideology, demonstrating this with the help of proverbs as text as well as proverbs performance in context by Pashto speakers.
