  • The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan
    Religions and Development Research Programme The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan Nida Kirmani Research Fellow, Religions and Development Research Programme, International Development Department, University of Birmingham Sarah Zaidi Independent researcher Working Paper 50- 2010 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems.

This study draws attention to his activities in the political field. It uncovers the political style and ideologies of this future leviathan in social work to find out why and how a genuine social worker could not get a proper place in politics and did not succeed in winning the votes and support of people. Along with the analysis of his electoral contests, his political ideology has also been highlighted in this study. To arrive at its findings the study evaluates the primary as well as secondary sources employing historical methods of research. Multiple sources of primary data like the interviews, biographies, and authentic press reports helped in the formation of the needed evidence for the empirical historical research in this study. It is finally construed that Edhi’s thoughts and style of work in politics did not match with the prevailing political atmosphere and behavior. His realistic approach could not attract a following in the political field where attachment of religious sentiments with politics and deceptive slogans of political characters did not leave any space for a real social worker to succeed.

  • A Life Well Lived: a Tribute to Abdul Sattar Edhi by Waqar Haider Hashmi
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 3, No. 2 (2011) A Life Well Lived: A Tribute to Abdul Sattar Edhi By Waqar Haider Hashmi “My religion is humanitarianism… which is the basis of every religion in the world,” says Edhi the most admired philanthropist of Pakistan. If we, for the sake of an impartial review, ignore all impressions that the name Edhi invokes in our minds and examine this conviction carefully, we come to know the level of clarity of thought and deep insight into human psyche and religious maturity Edhi possesses. He connects to the idea of religious belief at its core: humanitarianism or concern for human welfare. The word ‘basis’ is used to highlight that no religion can stand on its feet without emphasizing the concept of ‘humanitarianism’. Desired human attributes i.e., morality (to know what’s right or wrong), ethics (doing what’s right and abstaining from doing wrong) and spirituality (a vital force which makes humans strive for constructive work) are the subject of all the holy scriptures in the world. The significance of this philosophy becomes apparent when we realize that it is where generally most of the people falter as they skip the basic plank of humanitarianism while practicing or observing a religion. How can one claim to be a Muslim, Christian or follower of any faith if he or she is blind to humanitarianism? Imagine a Muslim who never misses a single prayer, observe fasts, performs Hajj and pays obligatory alms but has no tolerance or compassion for other human beings.

  • Abul Sattar Edhi: the Modern Incarnation of a Pacifist Sufi
    7 Abul Sattar Edhi The modern incarnation of a Pacifist Sufi Tahir Kamran Abdul Sattar Edhi, “a truly selfless spiritual sage” (Oborne 2011), embraced sim­ plicity typical of a dervish who, while sitting in his dargah (hospice) cares for humanity without provincializing it. In that hospice, all are welcome irrespective of religion, caste or creed and in many instances gender too.1 “From the cradle to the Grave” is the motto of Edhi s mission which caters to the needs of “a suffering humanity.” Edhi and his wife Bilquis Edhi embraced the newborn and the old who have been abandoned, the girl who has run away from home, the drug addict who is trying to recover, the handicapped and terminally ill (Raponi and Zanzucchi 2013: 35). According to Hussain Ahmad Khan (2015: 24–25), a historian of Sufism, hospices in the pre-colonial era, provided refuge to the mar­ ginalized and outcaste which at times incurred the ire of those in power. Thus, Edhi can at best be explained as a dervish, devoted to the service of humanity who instead of renouncing modernity, embraced it. His motivation and lifelong goal, however, transcended the man-made boundary splitting medieval and the modern, the human welfare. It was, of course, among the very few constants and universals. Hailing from the state of Gujrat in India, a region known for nestling and nurturing personalities such as Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, to quote a few, Abdul Sattar Edhi epito­ mized a multicultural ethos in which he was reared up.

    Socio-Political Role of Civil Society in StateSoft Power:The Case Study of Edhi Foundationof Pakistan ∗ Noor Fatima Muhammad Imran Ashraf ∗∗ ABSTRACT The contemporary world is striving to overcome multifaceted challenges posed to its survival. The factor of globalization comprehends these challenges common tothe nations across the globe. Due to limited resources and increased population, it is difficult for the governments of nation-states to counter challenges without taking assistance from civil society. Among these challenges illiteracy and poverty are more dangerous to state power asbothnot only breed so many problems but also directly affect the state and society throughout theworld. Inorder to combat these challenges,enhanced ‘state power’ is mandatory for the nation-states, and for it the assistance of civil society is sought to carry outfundamental responsibilities in a befitting manner. This research paper establishes the approach that a vibrant civil society is acomplimentary and compatible force to enhance state power. This approach is very helpful for the third-world countries like Pakistan where population ∗ Chairperson and Assistant Professor, Department of International Relations and Political Science, International Islamic University, Islamabad. ∗∗ Assistant Professor, Department of International Relations, National Defence University (NDU) Islamabad. 138 Pakistan Journal of History and Culture, Vol. XXXIX, No.2, 2018 factor is dominant over the resources and facing severe problems of low literacy rate and shortage of food and shelter. Therefore, the present research paper focusesthe civil society and state power with particular reference to Pakistan.

GLASS CEILING IN PAKISTAN: CRACKED BUT NOT YET BROKEN Ummama MAHMOOD* - İlknur ÖZTÜRK** - Tooba MAHMOOD*** ABSTRACT The research tends to explore and examines the concept and existence of ‘Glass Ceiling in Pakistan’. It is the barrier that restricts women reaching the top-level management regardless of their capabilities, skills, qualifications, and experiences. The deprived are generally the minorities or most certainly the women of Pakistan. The role of women has been emerging at a rapid pace in Pakistan as more women are getting awareness and education about their rights. This perception leads to a contradiction of whether gender discrimination actually exists or is it just a perception leading in the minds. The primary data has been collected through several interviews from men and women at the senior level positions to get a greater idea about the concept, and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The concept mediates between gender stereotypes, discrimination, and misconceptions. This research is based on the Glass Ceiling in Pakistan. It is carried out in the different sectors of Pakistan through in-depth interviews.
