Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Proverbs and Patriarchy: Analysis of Linguistic Sexism and Gender Relations among the Pashtuns of Pakistan A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Noor Sanauddin School of Social and Political Sciences, The College Social Sciences University of Glasgow, Scotland March, 2015 1 Abstract This study analyses the ways in which gender relations are expressed and articulated through the use of folk proverbs amongst Pashto-speaking people of Pakistan. Previous work on Pashto proverbs have romanticised proverbs as a cultural asset and a source of Pashtun pride and ethnic identity, and most studies have aimed to promote or preserve folk proverbs. However, there is little recognition in previous literature of the sexist and gendered role of proverbs in Pashtun society. This study argues that Pashto proverbs encode and promote a patriarchal view and sexist ideology, demonstrating this with the help of proverbs as text as well as proverbs performance in context by Pashto speakers. -
Mir Gul Khan Naseer: an Evaluation of His Contributions to the Baloch Cause
- 27 - Bi-Annual Research Journal “BALOCHISTAN REVIEW” ISSN 1810-2174 Balochistan Study Centre, UoB, Quetta (Pakistan) VOL. XXXII NO.1, 2015 Mir Gul Khan Naseer: An Evaluation of his Contributions to the Baloch Cause History Prof. Dr. Javed Haider Syed,1 Dr. Kaleemullah Barech2 & Amjad Abbas Khan Maggasi3 Abstract The resistance literature is considered as an important factor in the development of political consciousness among subjugated people. This phenomenon exhibited not only the resentment and the foiling of Mir Gul Khan Naseer (Hereafter Gul Khan), and other Baloch critics against colonialism but also identified social and economic problems of Balochistan. Education for boys and girls, end of the sardari system, political and economic reforms were some of its most frequently emphasized subjects. Therefore, Balochi resistance literature generally and Naseer’s lyrics against the authorities specially merit evaluation. Even a cursory glance at the history of Balochi literature, manifests the pride and dignity that Baloch poets and epic writers have shown for their heroes. This literature also demonstrates anger and resentment against the intruders and ridicule alongside traitors. Notwithstanding historical accuracy, the Baloch self-perception as the guardian of noble values is perpetuated in their literature. They trace their origin from Arabia and show their presence in almost every great battle, which was fought for the glory of Islam or for the veneration of Baloch culture. Gul Khan, the legend under special study has also extensively written on these features. In the coming pages we will attempt to appraise Naseer’s contributions in this respect particularly through his lyrics. Key Words: Baloch, Balochistan, British, Gul Khan Naseer, 1 Chairman Deptt. -

BALOCHIS OF PAKISTAN: ON THE MARGINS OF HISTORY November 2006 First published in 2006 by The Foreign Policy Centre 23-28 Penn Street London N1 5DL www.fpc.org.uk Email: [email protected] © Foreign Policy Centre 2006 All rights reserved ISBN-13: 978-1-905833-08-5 ISBN-10: 1-905833-08-3 PREFACE The Foreign Policy Centre is keen to promote debate about some of the worlds lesser known conflicts.
