  • Current Conflict and the Ensuing Debates About Identity Among the Pakhtuns in Cultural and Virtual Spaces

    Current Conflict and the Ensuing Debates About Identity Among the Pakhtuns in Cultural and Virtual Spaces

    Pakistan Journal of Criminology Vol. 10, Issue 1, January 2018 (16-36) Current Conflict and the Ensuing Debates about Identity among the Pakhtuns in Cultural and Virtual Spaces Muhammad Ayub Jan Abstract The participation of Pakhtuns1 in debates of identity during the current conflict in Pakistan-Afghanistan borderland has received little attention from the scholars of conflict studies on the region. These debates (held in cultural and virtual spaces) represent a non-violent, dialogical and discursive resistance put up by people who are often painted by media as perpetrators of violence. This paper argues that, there is discernible change in Pakhtun region and that one way to understand such a change is to study the debates and deliberations that engage diverse people at inclusive and exclusive spaces of engagement such as cyberspace (internet) and cultural spaces such as hujras, jirgas, etc. The analysis in the paper are based on data collected from two internet discussion forums as ‘Global Hujra’ hosted by Khyberwatch and ‘Pashtun Forums’ between 2007-2010. Besides these forums, insights were taken from the fieldwork done by the author in district Malakand (Pakistan) to reflect on debates in cultural spaces such as hujra, etc. The findings of the paper suggest that the use of cyberspace among Pakhtuns itself is an evidence of change that highlights the acceptance and engagement of new means of communication (globalization agents) for the purpose to generate debate. The way issues are initiated, deliberated and articulated on these forums represents acumen, keenness, and dedication of the posters. The dialogical skills demonstrated by the educated Pakhtun through these internet forums represent a change from other wise traditional forums of deliberation such as jirgas or hujras.

Yet, societies are diverse and I find that across language and ethnic groups not all Pakistani women benefit from these increased economic opportunities in their decision making. I even find negative impacts of labor force participation on empowerment for some groups. This can be explained by different gender expectations along these gendered institutions. Keywords: Women’s Empowerment, Ethnicity, Identity JEL-Classification: I12, O12 1. Introduction Empowering women can lead to better health and economic outcomes within the households. Empowered women typically invest more in the health of their children, invest in durable goods, and in the education of their children (Allendorf 2007, Mishra and Sam, 2016, Menon, Van der Meulen Rodgers, and Kennedy 2017). Furthermore, empowering women at the household level can lead over time to more gender equality and to economic development at the macroeconomic level (Duflo 2012). However, this process needs time and according to Duflo a continued effort from policy makers not just in developing countries.
