The Popalzai Family: Its Role in Various Religio-Political Movements in British North-West Frontier Province (Nwfp), 1927 - 1940
THE POPALZAI FAMILY: ITS ROLE IN VARIOUS RELIGIO-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN BRITISH NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE (NWFP), 1927 - 1940 JAVED KHANI PROF. DR. FAKHR-UL ISLAMII IDepartment of History, University of Peshawar e-mail: [email protected] IIDirector, Pakistan Study Centre, University of Peshawar e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the former North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) has served as base camp for various religio-political movements in the colonial period. Besides Pukhtun socio-political intelligentsia, the local ulama have extensively served during those campaigns. The Popalzai family, based in Peshawar was popular among the local Pukhtuns for its Islamic scholarship from Deoband, India. During the post- First World War period, the Deobandi Ulama went from active resistance to non-violent constitutional activism under Jamiat-ul Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) this stance was followed by the Pukhtun ulama in Peshawar. Maulana Abdul ×akim Popalzai, Maulana Abd-ur-Rahim Popalzai, and Maulana Abdul Qaiyum Popalzai, the prominent members of the Popalzai family supported the Deobandi ulama in the politics of NWFP. Jamiat-ul Ulama- i-Sarhad (JUS) was formed and Maulana Abdul ×akim Popalzai was elected its president in 1927, who organized the local ulama on the platform of JUS. In 1929, he followed the instructions of JUH in agitating against the Sardah Act in NWFP and mobilized the local ulama and the masses from the platform of JUS to support the agitation. Abd-ur-Rahim, under the influence of Shah Waliullah and revolutionary thoughts of Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi, earned himself the title of ‘IshterÉki Mullah’ (Socialist Religious Scholar) for his involvement in popular agitation and championing the rights of the oppressed class such as KisÉn (peasants), MazdËr 28 The Popalzai Family.. -
1 Inter Cluster Rapid Assessment Mission North Waziristan Agency 7
Inter Cluster Rapid Assessment Mission North Waziristan Agency 7 – 10 December 2015 Summary: In addition to visiting 11 newly de-notified villages at Spinwam, Mir Ali and Ghulam Khan Tehsils; the Inter Cluster Rapid Assessment mission held meetings with the military and with returnees. The Security situation of the area was deemed feasible for return. Returns to the recently de-notified villages of Spinwam, Miranshah and Ghulam are planned in March 2016. It was noted that the military and local administration are progressing in the rehabilitation of health, WASH and education facilities in the villages of Mir Ali and Miran Shah, but further complementary assistance will be required to support their efforts and to make these basic facilities fully operation. Rehabilitation of the electricity supply, the restoration of shops and markets for the purchase of daily use items, leveling and re-cultivation of lands and the establishment of play grounds and parks for recreational activities are in progress. It was noticed that there has been negligible damages to the houses in most areas. Upon their return, the families go through challenges regarding limited access to basic and necessary items, including scarcity of drinking water, inoperational health and education facilities, the unavailability of resources to cultivate their lands and restrictions imposed on their movement. The said challenges directly affect the women and children of the returned families. The continuing support of the military, the local administration and the government coupled with the steady decrease in the movement of the returnees make the environment favorable for return but there are substantial issues which cannot be ignored in order to ensure the sustainability of return. -
A Case Study of Mahsud Tribe in South Waziristan Agency
RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY By MUHAMMAD IRFAN MAHSUD Ph.D. Scholar DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (SESSION 2011 – 2012) RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE (December, 2018) DDeeddiiccaattiioonn I Dedicated this humble effort to my loving and the most caring Mother ABSTRACT The beginning of the 21st Century witnessed the rise of religious militancy in a more severe form exemplified by the traumatic incident of 9/11. While the phenomenon has troubled a significant part of the world, Pakistan is no exception in this regard. This research explores the role of the Mahsud tribe in the rise of the religious militancy in South Waziristan Agency (SWA). It further investigates the impact of militancy on the socio-cultural and political transformation of the Mahsuds. The study undertakes this research based on theories of religious militancy, borderland dynamics, ungoverned spaces and transformation. The findings suggest that the rise of religious militancy in SWA among the Mahsud tribes can be viewed as transformation of tribal revenge into an ideological conflict, triggered by flawed state policies. These policies included, disregard of local culture and traditions in perpetrating military intervention, banning of different militant groups from SWA and FATA simultaneously, which gave them the raison d‘etre to unite against the state and intensify violence and the issues resulting from poor state governance and control. -

I started writing this paper in January of ’09 prior to the “New Afghanistan Plan.” Much has changed since then. It is an extremely difficult and elusive situation in Afghanistan. This paper is about tactical employment of small, well-trained units that, when combined with a larger effort, will have positive strategic implications. -
