THE period fixed by ~he Punjab Government for the compila­ tion of the Gazetteer of the Province being limited .to twelve months, the Editor has not been able to prepare .any original matter for the present work; and his duties have bee~ confined to 'throwing the already existing- material into shape, supplementing it as far as possible by contributions obtained from district.· officers, passing the draft through the press, circulating it for revision1 altering it in accordance with the corrections and suggestions of revising officers, and printing and issuing the final edition. - The material available in print for the Gazetteer of this district consisted of the Settlement Reports; and a draft Gazetteer., compiled betwee!! 1870 and 1874 by Mr. F. Cunningham, Barrister-at-Law. Notes on certain points have be~n supp1ied by district ,officers; while the report on the Census of 1881 has been utilized. Of the presen~ volume, Section A of Chap. V (General Administration), and the whole of Chap. VI (Towns), have been ,for the mos~ part sup~ plied by the Deputy C.ommissioner ; Section A of Chap. III (Sta­ tistics of Population) has been taken from the Census Report;. while here and there passages have been extracted from Mr. Cun­ ningham's compilation already referred to. But with these excep- . tions, the great mass of the text has been taken almost, if not quite verbally from Mr. Thorburn's Settlement Report of the district. The draft · edition of this Gazetteer has been revised by Messrs.· Thorburn, Beckett, and Dames. The Deputy Commis­ sioner is responsible for the spelling ·of vernacular names, which has been fixed throughout by him in accordance with the prescribed system of transliteration. - ~he final edition, though completely compiled by the Editor, has bek:n passed through the press by Mr. Stack.

    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 10: 41-48. 2006. Check List of Medicinal Flora of Tehsil Isakhel, District Mianwali-Pakistan Mushtaq Ahmad, Mir Ajab Khan, Shabana Manzoor, Muhammad Zafar And Shazia Sultana Department of Biological Sciences, Quaid-I-Azam University Islamabad-Pakistan Issued 15 February 2006 ABSTRACT The research work was conducted in the selected areas of Isakhel, Mianwali. The study was focused for documentation of traditional knowledge of local people about use of native medicinal plants as ethnomedicines. The method followed for documentation of indigenous knowledge was based on questionnaire. The interviews were held in local community, to investigate local people and knowledgeable persons, who are the main user of medicinal plants. The ethnomedicinal data on 55 plant species belonging to 52 genera of 30 families were recorded during field trips from six remote villages of the area. The check list and ethnomedicinal inventory was developed alphabetically by botanical name, followed by local name, family, part used and ethnomedicinal uses. Plant specimens were collected, identified, preserved, mounted and voucher was deposited in the Department of Botany, University of Arid Agriculture Rawalpindi, for future references. Key words: Checklist, medicinal flora and Mianwali-Pakistan.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT The thesis begins by describing the socio-political and economic organisation of the tribes of Waziristan in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as aspects of their culture, attention being drawn to their egalitarian ethos and the importance of tarburwali, rivalry between patrilateral parallel cousins. It goes on to examine relations between the tribes and the British authorities in the first thirty years after the annexation of the Punjab. Along the south Waziristan border, Mahsud raiding was increasingly regarded as a problem, and the ways in which the British tried to deal with this are explored; in the 1870s indirect subsidies, and the imposition of ‘tribal responsibility’ are seen to have improved the position, but divisions within the tribe and the tensions created by the Second Anglo- Afghan War led to a tribal army burning Tank in 1879.
  • IVAP Analysis Report April 2015

    IVAP Analysis Report April 2015

    IVAP Analysis Report April 2015 IVAP is proudly funded by ECHO and DFID Background to KP/FATA Complex Emeregency The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is a semi-autonomous tribal region in northwestern Pakistan. It borders Afghanistan as well as Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces. More than 5 million people have been registered with the government and/or UNHCR as an internally displaced person (IDP) at some point since 2008 due to violent clashes in the country’s northwest region made up of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The 2014 military operations in North Waziristan and Khyber Agencies aggravated the situation, leading to the displacement of a further 233,000 families (approximately 1.4 million people). According to latest estimates from the UNHCR (2014), there are currently 1.6 million registered IDPs in KP/FATA. The vast majority of IDPs in KP/FATA chose to live in host communities (97%) rather than in camps for cultural reasons, including the privacy of females and difficult living conditions in the camps. The rest, who often have no other option, live in IDP camps (3%) (WFP). OCHA and other sources put the proportion of displaced families living outside of camps at 90% (OCHA, 18 June 2014; NYT, 20 June 2014; Al-Jazeera, 26 June 2014; IDMC, 12 June 2013, p.6). Displacement is difficult in Pakistan, which is ranked 146th on the list of 186 countries covered by the Human Development Index (UNDP, 24 July 2014, p.159). An estimated one fifth of its population are poor across the country, while in the KP/FATA a staggering one third of the population are poor (FDMA/UNDP, 2012, p.5; HDR, 2013, p.18; HPG, May 2013, p.21; UNDP, 27 October 2011).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Amarah Niazi for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Anthropology presented on June 12, 2012 Title: Expressions of Modernity in Rural Pakistan: Searching for Emic Perspectives. Abstract approved: _____________________________________ Sunil Khanna This dissertation examines women’s lives in a rapidly urbanizing rural community in Southern Pakistan to understand their responses to modernity in developing societies. Applying a mixed-methods approach, socio-demographic data is collected and contrasted with oral history and personal narratives to analyze social change through women’s access to education and reproductive health care in the village. The results are framed within a post-modern and post-colonial feminist anthropological discourse to reveal that Sheherpind represents a model of ‘multiple modernities’ where women’s agency and progress could only be contextualized in non-western, local cultural perspectives. Emerging trends in the village are evaluated for their ‘Applied’ significance to underscore areas of local, national and transnational policy significance. ©Copyright by Amarah Niazi June 12, 2012 All Rights Reserved Expressions of Modernity in Rural Pakistan: Searching for Emic Perspectives by Amarah Niazi A DISSERTATION Submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Presented June 12, 2012 Commencement June 2013 Doctor of Philosophy dissertation of Amarah Niazi presented on June 12, 2012.
