  • Distinctive Cultural and Geographical Legacy of Bahawalpur by Samia Khalid and Aftab Hussain Gilani
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 2, No. 2 (2010) Distinctive Cultural and Geographical Legacy of Bahawalpur By Samia Khalid and Aftab Hussain Gilani Geographical introduction: The Bahawalpur State was situated in the province of Punjab in united India. It was established by Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan I in 1739, who was granted a title of Nawab by Nadir Shah. Technically the State, had come into existence in 1702 (Aziz, 244, 2006).1 According to the first English book on the State of Bahawalpur, published in mid 19th century: … this state was bounded on east by the British possession of Sirsa, and on the west by the river Indus; the river Garra forms its northern boundary, Bikaner and Jeyselmeer are on its southern frontier…its length from east to west was 216 koss or 324 English miles. Its breadth varies much: in some parts it is eighty, and in other from sixty to fifteen miles. (Ali, Shahamet, b, 1848) In the beginning of the 20th century, this State lay in the extreme south- west of the Punjab province, between 27.42’ and 30.25’ North and 69.31’ and 74.1’ East with an area of 15,918 square miles. Its length from north-east to south-west was about 300 miles and its mean breadth is 40 miles. Of the total area, 9,881 square miles consists of desert regions with sand-dunes rising to a maximum height of 500 feet. The State consists of 10 towns and 1,008 villages, divided into three Nizamats (administrative Units): Minchinabad, Bahawalpur and Khanpur.

  • Evidence from Rainfall Variation and Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan∗
    THE ECONOMIC CAUSES OF TERROR: EVIDENCE FROM RAINFALL VARIATION AND TERRORIST ATTACKS IN PAKISTAN∗ SHAN AMAN RANA Abstract. How do rainfall induced rural employment shocks affect terrorist violence? There can be two opposite effects i.e. labour supply and terror finance. A positive rain- fall shock to the agrarian sector raises the relative wages across agrarian and terror sector and potentially reduces terrorist labour and violence. This is the opportunity cost or labour supply effect. Alternatively, in the societal context of Pakistan - with employment elastic religious charitable donations and information asymmetry in the religious charity market cap- tured to some extent by militants - a positive rainfall shock to the agrarian sector potentially increases terror financing and production. This is the terror financing effect. Exploiting the fact that Pakistan is a predominantly poorly irrigated, agricultural economy, I use district level panel data from 1997-2010 on rainfall shocks as an instrument for rural employment to identify the net effect of rural employment shocks on terrorist violence in Pakistan. Results suggest that a one percentage point increase in rain induced- rural employment results in an increase in the probability of a terrorist attack by 8.09 percentage points and an increase in the number of terrorist attacks by 0.5697. Results remain robust and consistent with finance rather than the labour supply as the relative dominant channel through which rural employment affects terror production in districts of Pakistan. Keywords: Conflict in Pakistan, religious violence, extremism, suicide-bombing, opportunity costs, terror financing, terrorist recruitment.
