  • Caste, Trade Or Class: Historical Transition in Stratification Structure in Rural Punjab
    Journal of the Punjab University Historical Society Volume: 34, No. 01, January – June 2021 Ayesha Farooq * Caste, Trade or Class: Historical Transition in Stratification Structure in Rural Punjab Abstract Dynamics of caste have modified over time due to occupational changes, economic positions and religious enlightenment. However, it is not entirely replaced by any new stratification structure, resulting in much confusion regarding the adopted caste titles in the community. The present research has been conducted in a village named Mohla in the Punjab, Pakistan. Findings revealed resistance of young generation towards the existing caste system and they were recognized by trades of their forefather. Economic factor found important for such differences, besides education and migration. There has been fluidity of caste perception over generation and across social strata; young, educated, economically better off craftsmen and women condemned caste division whereas most of the landowners emphasized the importance of caste system. Shift in basis of social differentiation, role of chieftain has become negligible as majority of them tend to resolve their issues by themselves and go to police or courts. Keywords: Caste system, Class structure, social stratification, intergenerational differences, economics, migration, infrastructure. Introduction The present paper aims to assess stratification system in a rural community named Mohla, situated in District Gujrat of Punjab, Pakistan. Implications of caste on various aspects of social life are also observed. Eglar studied this village five decades ago and found caste stratification as foremost aspect in determining social status and life opportunities.1 In this study, we intend to look into the differences between old and young villager’s perception regarding caste system.

  • Politics of Constitutional Rightism in Pakistan: Jam’Iyyat Ulema-I-Pakistan (Jup)–A Judicious Discourse (1948-1970)
    Mazher Hussain* POLITICS OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTISM IN PAKISTAN: JAM’IYYAT ULEMA-I-PAKISTAN (JUP)–A JUDICIOUS DISCOURSE (1948-1970) Abstract Barelvi School of Islamic Scholars who actively and unconditionally supported All-India Muslim League (1906-1947) for its demand of Pakistan decided to come on the forefront in order to transform the nascent country into a moderate Islamic republic in the light of aspirations and instructions of M.A. Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Hence, they formed a religio-political party entitled Jam’iyyat Ulema-i-Pakistan (JUP) [A Party of Religious Scholars of Pakistan] in 1948. From the times of freedom movement of Indian Subcontinent, they felt Communism as well as Socialism a threat to the Islamic Social Order and they responded through their literary pursuits. After Independence they faced it as a challenge on the political front and dealt it accordingly. The 1970s country politics were divided into leftist and rightist camps and the JUP, being a Religious-Constitutional Right worked effectively against the political Left. In the current article JUP’s first three evolutionary phases of religio-political and constitutional Rightism have categorically been discussed. JUP’s Constitutional Rightism—Formative Phase: Barelvi faction of the Ulema who actively participated in the Pakistan Movement (1940-1947) and gave their unconditional support to M.A. Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, very soon reached to the point that their objectives associated with the struggle for Pakistan could only be achieved through

  • Economic Change and Community Relations in Lahore Before Partition
    193 Ilyas Chattha: Life in Lahore before Partition Economic Change and Community Relations in Lahore before Partition Ilyas Chattha University of Southampton _______________________________________________________________ The city of Lahore had become one of the most important commercial and industrial centres in the Punjab by the end of British rule. Although Muslims constituted the majority of the population, it was, however, the Hindus and Sikhs who largely controlled economic activity in the city. Any territorial division of the province was likely to be grim not only for community relations but also for the city’s continued prosperity. Based on archival material, this paper firstly, seeks to explain Lahore’s colonial growth by demonstrating the ways in which the city’s urbanisation was stimulated by the development of civil lines, cantonment areas and migration, along with the ways in which its strategic location, boosted by the development of railways, assisted in its rise. It then looks at the impact of these structural changes and urban developments on the experiences of people and practices of trade and employment. Secondly, it outlines the role Hindu and Sikh trading classes were playing in the city’s socio-economic life on the eve of Partition. Finally, it assesses community relations in pre-1947 Lahore, assessing to what extent the strains of rapid urbanisation and improved means of communication impacted on religious harmony and how the growth of reformist and revivalist organisations sharpened religious identities. _______________________________________________________________ Lahore’s Colonial Development Lahore’ colonial urban development has been the focus of a number of recent studies.1 These reveal both its unique features and also the ways in which it was typical of other cities and towns.

  • Evolution of Sectarianism in Pakistan: a Threat to the State and Society
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 29, No.2, July - December 2014, pp. 441-459 Evolution of Sectarianism in Pakistan: A Threat to the State and Society Muhammad Nadeem Shah University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore. Abstract Contemporary Pakistan has been passing through the worst phase of its history due to internal law and order and security issues. Terrorism and sectarianism had never struck the state with such intensity in the past as it has been since the last two decades. Suicide attacks on the worshippers in the Mosques and Imambargahs as well as target killing of religious leaders of either sect, at various places in the country has posed a serious threat to the peace loving nation of Pakistan. The feelings of vulnerability have continuously been increasing day by day. This situation has put the entire social structure of the country at stake. Why are the Muslims killing the Muslims? Who are the masterminds? And what is the remedy to this menace? All such questions are yet to be answered. This paper will try to unveil the elements involved in this bloody game of viciousness. The work will also throw light on the effects of sectarian ferocity on the state and society of Pakistan. Key Words: Extremism, Militancy, Pakistan, Religion, Sectarianism, Terrorism, Violence. Introduction If various religious factions in a society antagonize each other with such stringency that each of them reflects its beliefs as a complete religion and does not prepare to reconcile with the diverse view, would be a state of sectarianism. “The term Sect is used in the sociology of religion to designate a particular kind of religious group”(International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, 1968: 130).Usually a sect is a body of people who hold certain opinions divergent from those of others who are accounted to be of the same religion.
