    The Milli Muslim League Politics of Pakistan's Lashkar-E-Taiba

    The Milli Muslim League Politics of Pakistan’s Lashkar-e-Taiba Manish* Almost ten years after the fateful 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan’s Prime Minister at the time of the attack, in an interview on May 18, 2018, clearly acknowledged, for the first time, the presence of militant outfits in Pakistan and their use by Pakistan’s so called ‘deep state’.1 * Dr. Manish is currently Professor at the Centre for International Politics, School of International Studies, Central University of Gujarat. He has earlier (March 2001- Dec 2005) served as Fellow in the IDSA, and also as an Officer on Special Duty (Dec 2005 – March 2012) with the Government of India. From 2012 until Oct 2017, he was Head of the Department of the International Relations, Sikkim University. He was also instrumental in setting up Maulana Azad Centre for North East Studies at Sikkim University, with research focus on India’s north- eastern region. The Centre published a magazine, titled Bodhi, under his editorship. He has several publications to his credit including a book titled Jihadis in Jammu & Kashmir published by Sage. 1 "Political scientists and foreign policy experts have used the term deep state for years to describe individuals and institutions who exercise power independent of—and sometimes over—civilian political leaders. They applied it mainly to developing countries like Algeria, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, where generals and spies called the real shots in nominally democratic societies and replaced elected leaders when they saw fit.", as stated by Michael Crowley, "The Deep State Is Real", Politico Magazine, September/October, 2017, June 1 2018, https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/09/05/deep-state- real-cia-fbi-intelligence-215537.

    The New Manila Sound: Music and Mass Culture, 1990S and Beyond James Gabrillo

    The New Manila Sound: Music and Mass Culture, 1990s and Beyond A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music James Gabrillo Peterhouse, University of Cambridge November 2018 This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration. I further state that no substantial part of my dissertation has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other quali- fication at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution. It does not exceed the word limit prescribed by the Degree Committee. "2 of 293" The New Manila Sound: Music and Mass Culture, 1990s and Beyond James Gabrillo Abstract This dissertation provides the first detailed account of the mass musical culture of the Philippines that originated in the 1990s and continues to be the most popular style of musical entertainment in the country — a scene I dub the New Manila Sound. Through a combination of archival research, musical analysis, and ethnographic fieldwork, my ex- amination focuses on its two major pioneers: the musical television programme Eat Bula- ga! (Lunchtime Surprise) and the pop-rock band Aegis. I document the scene’s rise and development as it attracted mostly consumers from the lower classes and influenced oth- er programmes and musicians to adapt its content and aesthetics. The scene’s trademark kitsch qualities of parody, humour, and exaggeration served as forms of diversion to au- diences recovering from the turbulent dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos from 1965 to 1986, when musical works primarily comprised of state-commissioned nationalist an- thems, Western art music, and protest songs.
