(September, 2017) CONSENSUAL and CONFLICTUAL POLITICAL CULTURE in PAKISTAN: a COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS of JAMAAT-I-ISLAMI and JAMIAT ULEMA-I-ISLAM SOCIALIZATION PROCESS CONSENSUAL AND CONFLICTUAL POLITICAL CULTURE IN PAKISTAN: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF JAMAAT-I-ISLAMI AND JAMIAT ULEMA-I-ISLAM SOCIALIZATION PROCESS BY WAJID MEHMOOD DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (September, 2017) CONSENSUAL AND CONFLICTUAL POLITICAL CULTURE IN PAKISTAN: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF JAMAAT-I-ISLAMI AND JAMIAT ULEMA-I-ISLAM SOCIALIZATION PROCESS 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 (September, 2017) i ABSTRACT This study reflects on the consensual and conflictual political culture in Pakistan and specifically in two religio-political parties i.e. Jamaat-i-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-i- Islam. It validates the argument that consensus and conflicts within political parties are because of the socialization process of their workers. It fundamentally tries to investigate the questions of “how a culture of consensus or conflict is developed through the process of socialization”. How JI and JUI socialize their workers? And “how far socialized workers in JI and JUI accommodate people of other political parties and ideologies”? The scarce literature on Jamaat-i-Islami and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam failed to explain the political behavior of the workers of these two parties. In the political socialization scholarship, socialization is a continuous process and different agents and factors have significant roles during the whole process, which shape specific preferences of the “socialized” workers. For JI and JUI, socializing and politically educating the future citizens of the polity is the primary duty of the family. Political and social conceptions along with religious ideas and values found among members of JI and JUI are thus transmitted through, especially, parents’ in the family, more than schools, peer groups and mass media. Family transmits the parents political values and disposition to the coming generation, thus provides a continuous ideological commitment and man power to the parties. It also validates the argument that certain aspects of children’s lives, such as civic participation, shaping voting behavior and party identification etc. are in the domain of families and parents in JI and JUI affiliated families. Educational institutions established by the workers of these parties also socialize and indoctrinate the ideology of JI and JUI in the children. In terms of communicating the curricula contents and messages to the students, the role of teacher is much important. His personal values, likes and dislikes and political affiliation greatly affect the classroom discussion, learning and the intellectual growth of the youth. Student ii organizations (IJT and JTI) in the education institutions across Pakistan are providing a significant environment to the students and prepare them for their active political roles in the society. They work as nurseries for JI and JUI by providing them man power (socialized workers) and future leadership. Both the organizations are having regular systematic training and socialization procedures, which are missing in other contemporary student’s organizations in Pakistan. However, both JI and JUI are not much successful in utilizing the modern communication tools as compared to other political parties. The excessive commercial nature of the traditional media caught up both the parties to get maximum advantage of it in terms of propagation of their ideology and political program. Though JI is trying to fill this gap with the maximum use of social media, JUI affiliates and leadership is neither that familiar with the modern social media and communication tools nor having much involvement in the social media. D. I. Khan and Dir districts were selected for this study primarily on the basis of the parties overwhelming presence, their extensive activities in engaging their workers, their electoral gains as compared to other political parties, and lastly, in addition to belonging of the central leadership of both the parties and their electoral constituencies in these regions. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract.................................................................................................................................i Acknowledgments.................................................................................................................vi Chapters 1.

We have started on the journey but there is a lot more that needs to be done. We undertook a strategic review in May 2016 when our new CEO Zahra Shah joined us to focus on professional development and supporting entrepreneurship through our key 3 programmes: Business and Professionals Programme, Women’s Programme and Young Professionals Programme, in order to empower the British Pakistani community in the UK. We need to make serious efforts to increase our membership over the coming years if we are to make a positive difference to the British Pakistani community in the UK. The future looks bright as we focus on empowering the Youth, Women, Professionals and Entrepreneurs in our community. I look forward to expanding our programmes nationwide in the coming years to enable this platform to benefit the British Pakistani community across the UK, particularly those members of the community who are most vulnerable. I invite you to join us in this movement. Asif Rangoonwala Message from the CEO I took over the role of the CEO in May 2016 and undertook a strategic review that resulted in a modified strategic direction enabling us to focus on empowering the British Pakistani community in the UK through professional development and supporting entrepreneurship.
