  • The On-Off Diplomatic Talks

    The On-Off Diplomatic Talks

    THE ON-OFF DIPLOMATIC TALKS BY MAJ GEN HARSHA KAKAR (RETD) Post the receipt of the letter from Imran seeking a meeting between the two foreign ministers on the side lines of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) session, the government initially agreed, cancelling it the next day, citing few incidents. The first was the brutal killing of the BSF Jawan, Head Constable Narinder Singh. The second was the kidnapping and killing of three J and K police personnel by terror groups supported by Pak. It also quoted the publication of stamps on Kashmir Solidarity day highlighting known terrorists including Burhan Wani. Pak claimed that these stamps were published in July even prior to the elections, well before the present government took office, thus a lame excuse. The spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) clarified immediately after announcing the acceptance of the meeting that this was not recommencement of bilateral talks, but just a meeting, the agenda of which had yet to be finalized. Even this announcement was ill-timed as it happened on the same day that Narinder Singh was brutally killed. The opposition claimed the government was bending to Pak requests rather than avenging Pak’s brutal actions. Ironically, the incident of Narinder Singh occurred days after the defence minister admitted in a TV interview that India has also resorted to 2 similar actions but does not advertise. This comment was widely covered in the Pak media. Whether it was in retaliation or a challenge is anyone’s guess. The killing of policemen by militants in the valley the next day was the crossing of the threshold of tolerance of the government.

The local PPP leadership in consultation with the establishment in Pakistan is reportedly working on finalities of political transition in the Northern Areas. On a positive note, at least the government of Pakistan has finally admitted that people in this region were subjected to deprivation from basic political rights and economic gains.

    Politicizing Islam: State, Gender, Class, and Piety in France and India

    Politicizing Islam: State, gender, class, and piety in France and India By Zehra Fareen Parvez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair Professor Raka Ray Professor Cihan Tuğal Professor Loïc Wacquant Professor Kiren Aziz-Chaudhry Fall 2011 Abstract Politicizing Islam: State, gender, class, and piety in France and India by Zehra Fareen Parvez Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Burawoy, Chair This dissertation is a comparative ethnographic study of Islamic revival movements in Lyon, France, and Hyderabad, India. It introduces the importance of class and the state in shaping piety and its politicization. The project challenges the common conflation of piety and politics and thus, the tendency to homogenize “political Islam” even in the context of secular states. It shows how there have been convergent forms of piety and specifically gendered practices across the two cities—but divergent Muslim class relations and in turn, forms of politics. I present four types of movements. In Hyderabad, a Muslim middle-class redistributive politics directed at the state is based on patronizing and politicizing the subaltern masses. Paternalistic philanthropy has facilitated community politics in the slums that are building civil societies and Muslim women’s participation. In Lyon, a middle-class recognition politics invites and opposes the state but is estranged from sectarian Muslims in the working-class urban peripheries. Salafist women, especially, have withdrawn into a form of antipolitics, as their religious practices have become further targeted by the state.

Born in Hyderabad in 1969, in the last twelve years, he has gained national prominence as Member of Parliament who espouses Muslim causes more forcefully than any other Indian Muslim. To his devotees, he is the Naqib-e-Millat-The Captain of the community. To his detractors he is “communalist” and an “opportunist.” He is an astute political force that is changing the face and tone of Indian politics. This report examines Owaisi’s rhetoric and postures to further study Muslim-Indian identity in the Indian Republic. Owaisi’s calls for the Muslims to uplift themselves also echo the calls of Muhammad Iqbal (d.

The outgoing Prime Minister Sardar Yaqoob was in office only for ten months since January 2009, when he assumed office after toppling Atiq Ahmed Khan. Atiq Khan was allegedly involved in the overthrow of Yaqoobs's government this time around as is indicated in one of the reports included in this issue. This development reveals the wretched situation of political structures in PoK which are subject to the whims and fancies of the establishment in Pakistan. Not only this, some reports in the issue also point to the fact that the party in power in Pakistan makes use of its position to ensure its interests are best secured in PoK, keeping in view its strategic significance.
