Dr. Hussan Ara Magsi . Assistant Professor , Political Science , University of Balochistan , Quetta. Abstract Balochistan is considered to be one of the backward regions in Pakistan. Having this point in mind, a study was undertaken in which the Makran division of Balochistan was focused. The region of Makran and its people are thought to be the most active and well-aware people as compared to the regions of the provinces. This studies is undertaken to examine the state of political awareness in the region of Makran. The data used in this paper is qualitative, acquired through interviews and other secondary sources. Purposive sampling technique was used in which eleven face to face interviews were conducted from the experts of the field. The data was interpreted and evaluated through analytical means. It was find out that there is much political awareness in Makran than the rest of regions of Balochistan and this awareness was not the only result of education system but its democratic and non-tribal and non-feudal structure are also some contributing factors in the awareness. Keywords: Political Awareness, Makran, education, Balochistan, Introduction Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a state populated with masses who belong to distinct groups and civilizations and in a democratic set up the entire segments of social associations are blessed with human rights as well as illustrated on the base of parity. Democracy is a derivative of the Greek terminologies: demos and kratos that denote the government of the individuals. The terminology democracy is old enough. That is as ancient as personage political history. The term had been also utilized in the period of the great thinkers like Plato and the father of Political Science Aristotle. However, the method which they used, of democracy, is relatively extraordinary from this present day description. The old method of democracy remained unrepresentative or direct in its style. Individuals unswervingly joined in the public affairs. In the course of period the mentioned method shifted its developments as well as implications. Presently, the mentioned method is totally changed as of its standard and typical practice. As per present structure of democracy, human is not able to take part individually in authorities’ affairs, they alternatively do so through their legislatures. People choose those people as their leaders which do the representation of masses in the assembly. Additionally, humans have got the authority to penalize their agents when they do not satisfy their desires. The individuals utilize their right of penalty in the course of the balloting time in contemporary democracy. If these agents become unsuccessful in enactment of their duty they are no longer supported in the elections in time to come. Justly, current phase is the time of information and political cognizance. Nevertheless, if one views Pakistan in the picture of the referred idea of new-time democracy can be - 194 - a fairly hard and testing scheme due to the fact that Pakistan has intermittently confronted army involvement in the administration and rule. Before the problem of army interference, it remained challenged with constitutional crisis. Pakistan could not make a constitution and existed via the Government of India Act 1935 with particular modifications for about nine years. The departure of United Kingdom from landmass, raise a pair of autonomous as well as self-determining countries; renowned for instance Pakistan and India. The independent countries arose by means of the outcome of the Indian Independence Act of 1947 (Indian Independence Act, 1947, p.3). Factually, Pakistan was acknowledged as a liberated dominion on the 14th August 1947, through drawing state’s geographic zones. Primarily, Pakistan used to have two sections; identified as West Pakistan and East Pakistan. The latter used to be existing Bangladesh and the former is currently Pakistan which at present comprises of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa and Balochistan. As regard to the region of Balochistan is concerned preliminary, it wasn’t granted the position of a province at once. It, later, was affirmed a province in 1971 while Mr. Yahya disbanded single entity structure (Shahid, 2004, p. 214). Balochistan possesses the leading portion of Pakistan with 347,190 sq. km, covering about 44 percentage of the complete territory of Pakistan (Rabbani, 2010, p. 207). Regrettably, being the largest province, Balochistan is relatively far progressive as compared to the rest of areas which is grieving politically, socially, financially as well as in the field of education. The number or rate of knowledgeable people in the province is appraised to 44%, which absences fifty percent of the residents. The mentioned character does not completely consist of knowledgeable citizens, but also these who are simply able to examine and pen down something. This fact is an evidence of the lack of enlightenment in the province. Due to being underdeveloped, the mentioned area doesn’t have some quintessential possessions; for instance awareness. There is a blankness of awareness in the citizens of the province that reserved the remote from their social and political rights. One of the notable responsibilities and commitments of all countries is to offer schooling to the inhabitants that is to be a basic right. Just not tutoring, men want different social and political wants which are crucial for men to be in its first-class condition. Largely speaking, men, at some stage in the history have been worried of their rights, as it is not possible to spend a just life. It was the purpose that men had surrendered some of their rights or freedom to country for the only reason to safeguard the human and civil rights. The social contract theorists had been of the view that, due to the uncertainty of individual’s rights, they developed administration and countries via societal agreement and entered to an administrative system from pre-political age. This era is often identical to the natural state. The purpose folks renounced a number of their rights to country was once the protection of the rights, because in natural state, there has been no any monitoring power which could influence independence of men entirely and it could shape an instruction of might is right. In the same way, the inhabitants of Pakistan largely and Balochistan precisely enjoy progressive vital rights, along with education. - 195 - Education is explained as method of mastering from different techniques; alike, storytelling, debate, training, and via formal lectures (Garrison, 2015, p. 108). Education, furthermore, is described as a parameter for the advancement of human consciousness. It is a type or way of socialization that how to live the existence for a child and guide them in the direction of adulthood and comforts to be accountable in life. Education performs an intense position in the socialization of men. So, this study is therefore undertaken to observe political recognition in Makran mulling over the role of education. Significance of the study The research study entitled as ‘Political Awareness in Makran’ is a significant subject of consideration for the residents of Makran which would certainly make facts accessible to the people of this area concerning the development of political awareness. It is not only useful for the inhabitants of the mentioned area but also to different people. It would serve as a valuable written-piece of academic script that share data that how much politically aware Makran is and how much cognizance of political rights they have. Objectives of Study • To examine the state of political awareness in Makran region. • To determine the impact of education on political awareness. • To compare the tendency of awareness in Makran with the rest of sections of Balochistan. Review of the Literature Multiple writers have sketched awareness in several ways. In line with Apps (1988) being conscious suggests that distinguishing that one thing is incorrect or completely diverse. Furthermore, Kumar (2016), who is an Indian author, labels awareness as the understanding of problems founded on logical contextual and scientific root. It is, therefore, a mental condition symbolized mentally and emotionally in the recognition of the globe by the individual. Consciousness is a feeling or awareness about one's current circumstances. It is very important to be politically conscious to serve a just life given by the supreme law of a country. Shailaj Kumar furthermore lays that political responsiveness is that the common understanding of the political atmosphere and also the interaction and political plan. Pleasantly faithful justifies the mentioned term that it's the sagacity that comprehend the political atmospheres and matters. Edification shows the crucial role within the development of civil consciousness. Khan (2004) evaluating the significance of being awareness mentions that when you know something is your right, then you are ready to fight for it, project it and get it. If you are not aware that something belongs to you, you do not even overlook that. The (educational) institutions are able to activate the youth governmental awareness for current and upcoming situations and assist them in adopting the scientific

    INTRODUCTION The total coast line of Pakistan is about 1120 Km the western region (Makran coast) extends from Hub river to Iranian border. Makran coast is about 772 Km long. The South Eastern Region (Sindh coast) extends from Hub River to Sir Creek on the Indian border and is about 348 Km long. The continental shelf of Makran coast lies between 16 to 24 Km and falls sharply to great depths. Whereas, in Sindh coast the continental shelf is shallow and is about 125 Km. According to constitution of Pakistan, the marine waters are divided into the administrative areas: (i) Territorial waters (from base line upto 12 nautical miles, seaward). These waters have jurisdiction of the maritime provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. (ii) The waters between 12 nautical miles and 200 nautical miles: the Federal Government has jurisdiction on this area. Pakistan has rich marine resources in its coastal areas. Since ages, fishing has been the main livelihood of the coastal fishermen. Although, rapid changes have taken place in the world fisheries by introducing modern sophisticated fishing vessels and gear. However, the marine fisheries of Pakistan is still in primitive stage. The local small scales wooden fishing boats are not capable to harvest deep water resources. As such, deep water area remained un-exploited. Therefore, in the past a limited licenses were given to the local parties allowing them to undertake joint venture with foreign parties to harvest tuna & tuna like species in EEZ of Pakistan beyond 35 nautical miles. The operation of these vessels was subject to fulfillment of provision of Deep Sea Fishing Policy including strict surveillance and monitoring by Marine Fisheries Department (MFD), Maritime Security Agency (MSA), port inspections, installation of vessel-based unit of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), MFD representative / observer on each vessel during each trip, restriction on discard of fish at sea, having penalties on violation of regulations etc.

  • Physical Geography of the Punjab
    19 Gosal: Physical Geography of Punjab Physical Geography of the Punjab G. S. Gosal Formerly Professor of Geography, Punjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ Located in the northwestern part of the Indian sub-continent, the Punjab served as a bridge between the east, the middle east, and central Asia assigning it considerable regional importance. The region is enclosed between the Himalayas in the north and the Rajputana desert in the south, and its rich alluvial plain is composed of silt deposited by the rivers - Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chanab and Jhelam. The paper provides a detailed description of Punjab’s physical landscape and its general climatic conditions which created its history and culture and made it the bread basket of the subcontinent. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Herodotus, an ancient Greek scholar, who lived from 484 BCE to 425 BCE, was often referred to as the ‘father of history’, the ‘father of ethnography’, and a great scholar of geography of his time. Some 2500 years ago he made a classic statement: ‘All history should be studied geographically, and all geography historically’. In this statement Herodotus was essentially emphasizing the inseparability of time and space, and a close relationship between history and geography. After all, historical events do not take place in the air, their base is always the earth. For a proper understanding of history, therefore, the base, that is the earth, must be known closely. The physical earth and the man living on it in their full, multi-dimensional relationships constitute the reality of the earth. There is no doubt that human ingenuity, innovations, technological capabilities, and aspirations are very potent factors in shaping and reshaping places and regions, as also in giving rise to new events, but the physical environmental base has its own role to play.

For decades nationalist sentiments have driven the Baloch people to demand for an end to the occupation of their land. A renewed armed conflict for independence from Iran and Pakistan emerged at the beginning of this century,led by various organizations. The conflict has grown in its complexity often escalating when the governments on both sides of the Goldsmith line tried to find a military solution. One of the most improvished places in the subcontinent it is also one of the most isolated .Yet it is the richest land in resources like oil, gas and minerals .An scattered population ,no international media access and low education ratio also make it a safe place for military mights like Iran and Pakistan to keep on conducting human rights abuses .The ethnically different armies have been given a free hand to conduct massacres ,kidnapping, ethnic cleansing and other inhuman tactics to suppress the freedom movement .Large number of Baloch have been forced to live as refugees either in Afghanistan or as internally
