  • Flashpoint: Pakistan in Crisis

    Flashpoint: Pakistan in Crisis

    To approach Rabwah, home to Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi sect, it is necessary to pass through Chiniot, an ancient town said to have been first populated by Alexander the Great of Macedonia, in 326 BC . Today, Chiniot, which stands amidst the lush green countryside of the Punjab province, is known chiefly for its skilled furniture craftsmen. The town is a bustling, but run-down urban centre – the cascading monsoon rain failing to wash away the grime and squalor that hangs all around. It is on the peeling, yellow-plastered walls of Chiniot that the first signs of the hatred directed against the Ahmadi community appear. The movement – named for its founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian (located in the Indian Punjab) – Karachi broke away from mainstream Islam in 1889. The slogans, etched out in the flowing Urdu script, call on Muslims to ‘Kill Ahmadi non-believers’. apparent every official building is heavily fortified – Rabwah, a town of some 50,000 people, houses even the holy places and the parks – testifying to the the largest concentration of Ahmadis in Pakistan. fact that Rabwah remains a town under siege. Flashpoint Overall, there are an estimated 1.5 million Ahmadis While the 1974 decision against Ahmadis was met in the country amongst a population of 55 million by anger within the community, worse was to come. In people. Rabwah was built on 1,000 acres of land 1984, military dictator General Zia ul-Haq, as part of purchased from the Pakistan government in 1948 by policies aimed at ‘Islamizing’ the country, introduced a Pakistan in Crisis: the Ahmaddiya Muslim community, to house set of laws that, among other restrictions, barred Ahmadis who were forced to leave India amidst the Ahmadis from preaching their faith, calling their places tumultuous partition of the subcontinent in 1947, of worship ‘masjids’ (the term used by mainstream which resulted in the creation of the mainly Muslim Muslims) and from calling themselves Muslim.

  • Seepage of Water from the River Indus and Occurrence of Fresh Ground Water in Sindh

    Seepage of Water from the River Indus and Occurrence of Fresh Ground Water in Sindh

    SEEPAGE OF WATER FROM THE RIVER INDUS AND OCCURRENCE OF FRESH GROUND WATER IN SINDH BY M.H. PANHWAR I was involved with investigation of ground water in the Province of Sindh since 1953, with the first assignment as Agricultural Engineer in Sindh. My previous experience in various areas of Sindh had revealed that in many cases even at shallow depths of a few meters, ground water was brackish in the Indus plains of Sindh. The easiest solution for the initial ground water survey was to take samples out from the existing dug and lined wells which were about 10 meters deep and also from hand pumps of same depth used for domestic purposes. Such wells and hand pumps existed in each one of some 20,000 sizeable villages in the Indus Alluvial Plains. A representative survey of about 2,000 such water sources showed that ground water in the close vicinity of the river Indus was invariably fresh, in the first 280 miles of its run in Sindh from Kashmore to Hyderabad, but was slightly brackish on the down streams side up to the point, where it discharged into the Arabian sea. This general rule did not apply to whole Sindh as there were areas, even 40 miles away from the river Indus, which also had fresh water. I therefore thought that the river Indus which has been changing courses periodically had passed through such areas in the recent centuries and seepage from it has left fresh water there. It appeared that, if I could get correct information on the courses of the river Indus in the past, the occurrence and the quality of ground water could probably be known comparatively more reliably.

    2017 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Organizing Social Public Disclosure Authorized Protection in Federal States INTERNATIONAL EXAMPLES OF FEDERALISM AND SOCIAL PROTECTION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PAKISTAN YASUHIKO MATSUDA Public Disclosure Authorized South Asia Social Protection & Jobs Global Practice, World Bank Group Executive Summary Introduction Pakistan’s social protection system is still in a nascent stage of development and so is the country’s fiscal and institutional architecture for inter-governmental relations. In particular, the implicit devolution of social protection and related functions in the 18th Constitutional Amendment in 2010 has created a level of uncertainty and certain lack of consensus about the definitive roles of federal vs. provincial governments in providing social protection to the population. This note is intended to contribute to informed debates about the future of federalism and social protection in Pakistan. It describes key features of the ways in which mature federations have organized their social protection “sector” and summarizes possible implications for Pakistan. Drawing on the descriptions on how social protection functions are distributed across levels of government in ten relatively mature federations (including South Africa which is constitutionally a unitary state but is highly decentralized in expenditure assignment), this discussion note is intended as merely one type of input for policy-makers in Pakistan to consider how best to organize the social protection functions across levels of government in the country’s evolving inter-governmental relations. National-Subnational Division of Roles and Responsibilities in Social Protection National government as policymaker, standard setter and financier Theories of fiscal decentralization suggest certain government functions are better centralized in the hands of national governments because of nation-wide equity and redistribution goals and because of externalities that can render decentralized management economically inefficient.

  • Role of Human Resource for Effective Disaster Management in Hyderabad Division, Sindh

    Role of Human Resource for Effective Disaster Management in Hyderabad Division, Sindh

    Pakistan Geographical Review, Vol.75, No1, June. 2020, PP 10-30 ROLE OF HUMAN RESOURCE FOR EFFECTIVE DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN HYDERABAD DIVISION, SINDH QASIM MUMTAZ*, MUHAMMAD ASHRAF*, UZMA MUKHTAR** *Department of Disaster Management and Development Studies, University of Baluchistan, Quetta **Department of Commerce, University of Baluchistan, Quetta ABSTRACT As per the World Disaster Reports, the impacts of disasters (both manmade and natural) on humans are escalating across the globe with each passing day which has attracted great focus on the issue of disaster management. Pakistan is no exception to this where natural hazards (earthquake and floods, etc.) are recurrent phenomena due to climate change and cause heavy loss to human lives, standing crops and property. In recent years, where factors contributing towards vulnerability are wide spread, the challenges posed by disasters, whether natural or manmade, to humanity are larger than ever and the principal element in this challenge is the human resource dimension. It has been consecutively observed in the disaster history that still the focus has not been given on human resource perspective in disaster management. This paper aims to study the role of human resource (people affected, specialists, experts, etc.) for effective disaster management in Hyderabad Division of Sindh. For this purpose, effectiveness indicators were first identified and determined through extensive literature review. A total of 219 individuals (various categories) were selected through the simple random sampling technique for questionnaire survey. Primary data was processed and statistically analyzed using factor analysis and inferential (multiple regression etc.) statistics in order to study the relationship between human resource and disaster management.
