AN APPEAL TO THE MEDIA “They want to evict us from our homes!” At the beginning of this year, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) announced its decision to conduct a series of operations against kachi abadis in Islamabad. Several kachi abadis have been identified in this respect, including several Muslim and Christian abadis, housing close to 100,000 residents who live and work in the Capital city. The background for this mass eviction plan lies in a Islamabad High Court order (during the hearing of a petition by a kachi abadi resident who was having trouble convincing NADRA to issue him a CNIC based on his kachi abadi address) to the CDA to clear all ‘illegal slums’ in Islamabad. The vaguely-worded court order did not take into account the legal framework surrounding kachi abadis in the country and has not yet been followed up by a court judgment, which could be studied or challenged. Following this arbitrary order, the CDA drew up a plan for operations involving the police and other concerned departments in the capital, following which residents of kachi abadis started being threatened with eviction through notice and visits by the local police and bulldozers. Authorities have begun to cut water and power connections from the back.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Profit, Piety, and Patronage: Bazaar Traders and Politics in Urban Pakistan Umair Javed A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, January 2018 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it).

I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 84,754 words. 2 Abstract This thesis studies the political and social practices of prosperous bazaar merchants and traders to understand the dynamics of power and authority in contemporary urban Pakistan. Broadly, it considers how propertied groups, such as traders, maintain their dominant position in Pakistan’s political sphere, and how the consent of subordinate classes is structured to reproduce this persisting arrangement. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a large wholesale bazaar of Lahore, this thesis demonstrates that bazaar traders accumulate power and authority through a fused repertoire of transactional bargaining, material patronage, and Islamic civic leadership.
