The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of Pakistan, under its former minister Mr Fawad Chaudhry was very supportive of granting approval for the idea of this undertaking. The Pavilion of Pakistan thus garnered a great deal of attention and support from the art community as well as the entire country. Pakistan’s participation in this prestigious international art event has provided a global audience with an unforgettable introduction to Pakistani art. I congratulate Zahra Khan, for her commitment and hard work, and Naiza Khan, for being the first significant Pakistani artist to represent the country, along with everyone who played a part in this initiative’s success. I particularly thank Asma Rashid Khan, Director of Foundation Art Divvy, for partnering with the project, in addition to all our generous sponsors for their valuable support in the execution of our first-ever national pavilion.

  • How Military Dominates the Political Space in Pakistan: a Study of Musharraf’S Rule (1999-2008)
    Journal of Peace Studies, Vol. 16, Issue 1-2, January – June, 2009. How Military Dominates the Political Space in Pakistan: A Study of Musharraf’s Rule (1999-2008) Ashok K. Behuria* [*Dr. Ashok K Behuria is Editor, International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. He is also Honorary Consulting Editor, Journal of Peace Studies, New Delhi.] Where civilian opinion is inchoate, and its organisation feeble…the armed forces are invulnerable, because the potential civilian opposition is so feeble and confused. S.E. Finer1 General Pervez Musharraf stayed in power for almost nine years—between October 1999 and September 2008), two years short of his two earlier predecessors in uniform (Ayub Khan and Zia-ul-Haq). During these years, he was busy in the game of political engineering to win over political forces amenable to his influence to lend his rule a nominal popular base, in spite of his visceral hatred for political forces. It is interesting to note that political leadership of all hues were eager to court the military ruler, knowing fully well that this will retard the pace and process of democracy in Pakistan. General Pervez Musharraf came to power with promises of reforming Pakistani politics and ushering in true democracy. The people of Pakistan trusted him. But as he embarked on his endeavour, he considered himself indispensable. In a bid to perpetuate his hold on power, he employed the strategy of divide-and-rule to keep the political forces disunited. The politicians were also seen to be playing into his hands and participating indulgently in his game of power- politics.

  • The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan
    Religions and Development Research Programme The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan Nida Kirmani Research Fellow, Religions and Development Research Programme, International Development Department, University of Birmingham Sarah Zaidi Independent researcher Working Paper 50- 2010 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems.
