Violence and Belonging KNUDSEN Honour and violence is a major theme in the anthropology of the Middle East, yet – apart from political violence – most studies approach violence from the perspective of honour. By contrast, this important study examines the meanings of lethal conflict in a little studied tribal society in Pakistan’s unruly North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and offers a new Violence and perspective on its causes. Based on an in-depth study of local conflicts, the book challenges stereotyped images of a region and people miscast as extremist and militant. VIOLENCEAND BELONGING elonging Being grounded in local ethnography enables the book to shed light B on the complexities of violence, not only at the structural or systemic level, but also as experienced by the men involved in lethal conflict. In this Land, Love way, the book provides a subjective and experiential approach to violence that is applicable beyond the field locality and relevant for advancing the and Lethal Conflict study of violence in the Middle East and South Asia. The book is the first ethnographic study of this region since renowned anthropologist Fredrik in the North-West Barth’s pioneering study in 1954. Frontier Province Are Knudsen is Research Director at the Chr. Michelsen Institute in of Pakistan Bergen, Norway. ‘The material itself is extremely interesting, dealing as it does with an exotic locale, and with an intractable problem of endemic violence. … Dr. Knudsen draws this conflictual situation very well, and adds a great deal to the present-day study of violence, putting what is often seen as primordial in the context of modern conditions.’ – Professor Charles Lindholm, Boston University We should make the best possible use of this analysis: for its daring perspectives, extreme empirical findings, and wide relevance. It deserves a very careful reading for its contributions to so many aspects of our understanding of honour, politics and human society. – Professor emeritus Fredrik Barth, Boston University and University of Oslo Cover illustration: A Palas elder displaying his early- 19th-century muzzle-loading rifle and bandoleer.

The land is generally known as Kohistan, ‘Land of Mountains’, and is occupied by diverse, little studied communities and peoples. Dr Are Knudsen has penetrated this fastness and reached the short, steep valley of Palas, debouching into the Indus Gorge. From his visits there he has brought home unique and fascinating ethnographic materials, from which he has constructed a sensitive and theoretically challenging monograph on the indigenous society formed by its population. This population makes up a truly stateless society, not only lacking in central authority and leadership, but essentially without instituted ways of making binding internal collective decisions. Such decisions are only made consensually and case by case in assemblies or by voluntary mediation. Knudsen recognizes and addresses the paradox that this description raises of how any person can be said to be a ‘member’ of such a social formation. The whole area of Kohistan is notorious in North Pakistan for its anarchy, its violence and danger, its lethal conflicts both within and without.

  • 1951-81 Population Administrative . Units
    1951- 81 POPULATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE . UNITS (AS ON 4th FEBRUARY. 1986 ) - POPULATION CENSUS ORGANISATION ST ATIS TICS DIVISION GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN PREFACE The census data is presented in publica tions of each census according to the boundaries of districts, sub-divisions and tehsils/talukas at the t ime of the respective census. But when the data over a period of time is to be examined and analysed it requires to be adjusted fo r the present boundaries, in case of changes in these. It ha s been observed that over the period of last censuses there have been certain c hanges in the boundaries of so me administrative units. It was, therefore, considered advisable that the ce nsus data may be presented according to the boundary position of these areas of some recent date. The census data of all the four censuses of Pakistan have, therefore, been adjusted according to the administ rative units as on 4th February, 1986. The details of these changes have been given at Annexu re- A. Though it would have been preferable to tabulate the whole census data, i.e., population by age , sex, etc., accordingly, yet in view of the very huge work involved even for the 1981 Census and in the absence of availability of source data from the previous three ce nsuses, only population figures have been adjusted. 2. The population of some of the district s and tehsils could no t be worked out clue to non-availability of comparable data of mauzas/dehs/villages comprising these areas. Consequently, their population has been shown against t he district out of which new districts or rehsils were created.
