  • Introduction: Honour Violence, Law and Power in Upper Sindh
    Introduction HONOUR VIOLENCE, LAW AND POWER IN UPPER SINDH n The story that I am to narrate here begins in the 1990s, when as a reporter in a local magazine called Newsline, I wrote a comprehensive news story on karo kari,1 (literally ‘black man and black woman’), a vernacular honour- based practice in the Upper Sindh region of present-day Pakistan. Known popularly as a rasam, a ‘custom’ that sanctioned men and women accused of sexual transgressions with death,2 karo kari has since become a leading story of the national media in Pakistan, a major human rights issue and a problem that both lawmakers and civil society are concerned about. My report was the first comprehensive exposé of the existence and preva- lence of this practice in the region of Upper Sindh.3 This report disclosed the violence committed through karo kari, whose perpetrators were defend- ing what was considered a timeless, natural and therefore unquestionable ideology of honour called ghairat, a moral sanction enforced by each indi- vidual, and more specifically each man, but with social approval. In the report, I described the punishment of ‘black’ men and women as retributive justice for men whose honour had been damaged when a female relative was accused of engaging in sexual relations with another man. Husbands, fathers, brothers and sons could accuse their wives, daughters, sisters or mothers of being black, and the action taken against women could be either expulsion from the community or death. If found with the woman, the co- accused man could be killed or subsequently hunted down.

The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.

  • Historical Sketch of Peasant Activism: Tracing Emancipatory Political Strategies of Peasant Activists of Sindh
    International Journal Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN (P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Vol. 3, Issue 5, Sep 2014, 23-42 © IASET HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PEASANT ACTIVISM: TRACING EMANCIPATORY POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF PEASANT ACTIVISTS OF SINDH GHULAM HUSSAIN 1 & ANWAAR MOHYUDDIN 2 1MPhil Scholar, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan 2 Lecturer, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Peasant activism in Sindh is very diverse and has its own typical history. Temporally, it has been focused on contextual issues that demand more than just land reforms. Peasant activists have, over the years, pursued roughly articulated, expedient and highly diverse agendas that are enacted by the mix of civil society activists, NGOs and ethnic peasant activists. In this article, which is the result of ethnographic study and the analysis of secondary ethnographic and historical data, effort has been made to trace the formation of peasantivist agendas and strategies in Sindh, particularly tracing it from the peasant struggle of Shah Inayat in 17 th century. The introduction of exploitative Batai system during British rule, the consequent institutionalization of sharecropping, establishment of Hari Committee in 1930s, the launching of Batai Tehreek and Elati Tehreek have been traced in relation to shifting peasantivist agendas. Failure of peasant activists to bring about substantive land reforms and the recent process of NGO-ising of peasant activism, have been analyzed vis-à-vis historical past. KEYWORDS: Peasant Activism, Peasant Movements, N.G.Os INTRODUCTION In this study the genesis of exploitation in peasant communities of Sindh has been elaborated, and the historical analysis of some of the important peasant struggles, rebels, and movements have been done to understand where peasants and peasant activist in Sindh stands now.

    SENRA Academic Publishers, British Columbia Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 2871-2900, June 2014 Online ISSN: 1920-3853; Print ISSN: 1715-9997 EFFECT OF RIGHT BANK OUTFALL DRAIN (RBOD) ON BIODIVERSITY OF THE WETLANDS OF HALEJI WETLAND COMPLEX, SINDH M Zaheer Khan, *Tanveer Jabeen, S Ali Ghalib, Saima Siddiqui, M Safdar Alvi, Iqbal Saeed Khan, Ghazala Yasmeen, Afsheen Zehra, Fozia Tabbassum, Babar Hussain, and Raheela Sharmeen Wildlife Section, Department of Zoology, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270 ABSTRACT In the present study, the effects of Right Bank Outfall Drain (RBOD) on the fauna of the wetlands were studied and inventories of the fauna and the flora were prepared. During the study period from 2007 – 2012, water samples taken from three sampling sites from the study areas viz., RBOD at Gharo, near Haleji Lake and near Keenjhar Lake were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters, pesticides and heavy metals. The mean salinity value of all sampling sites was recorded. RBOD at Gharo and RBOD near Keenjhar Lake showed high salinity value as per limit of World Health Organization standard. Water samples taken from RBOD near Keenjhar Lake showed pesticide OC compounds below the Maximum Acceptable Concentration (MAC). However, no serious adverse effects of environmental pollution were detected on the aquatic biodiversity except for some minor toxic effects due to the presence of heavy metals in water. Regarding biodiversity, two species of protozoans, 104 species of arthropods, 23 species of zooplanktons, 13 species of molluscs, 228 species of birds, 28 species of mammals, 31 species of reptiles, 2 species of amphibians and 59 species of fishes were recorded from the study areas.
