    Passports to Privilege: the English-Medium Schools in Pakistan

    Peace and Democracy in South Asia, Volume 1, Number 1, January 2005. PASSPORTS TO PRIVILEGE: THE ENGLISH-MEDIUM SCHOOLS IN PAKISTAN TARIQ RAHMAN _____________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Based on two recent surveys of some selected urban areas of Pakistan, the author draws interesting conclusions in this article about the English-medium schools in Pakistan. The elites of the country have long realized the power of the English language and have even institutionalized the process of acquiring the same. As seen elsewhere in South Asia, the English-speaking elites of the country profess one thing about their national languages and practise something else for their own children. The craving for excellence in English language as a tool for a more successful life is not confined to the city elites but has penetrated the army, the air force, and the naval branches of a country that has frequently been ruled by army generals. It is also clear from this article that the privileged children of Pakistan are westernised in terms of lifestyle and liberal in attitude towards India, although after joining the state, they are seen supporting the militaristic policies of the state. _____________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION English is the official language of Pakistan. It is used in all domains of power - government, bureaucracy, military, judiciary, commerce, media, education and research - at the highest level. Because it is empowering to learn English, people all over the country are ready to invest in it for the future of their children. Because of this demand, all over the cities of Pakistan one can see boards advertising institutions which claim to be English-medium schools or tuition ‘centres’ claiming to teach spoken English and English for passing all kinds of examinations and interviews.
  • Pakistan's Army

    Pakistan's Army

    Pakistan’s Army: New Chief, traditional institutional interests Introduction A year after speculation about the names of those in the race for selection as the new Army Chief of Pakistan began, General Qamar Bajwa eventually took charge as Pakistan's 16th Chief of Army Staff on 29th of November 2016, succeeding General Raheel Sharif. Ordinarily, such appointments in the defence services of countries do not generate much attention, but the opposite holds true for Pakistan. Why this is so is evident from the popular aphorism, "while every country has an army, the Pakistani Army has a country". In Pakistan, the army has a history of overshadowing political landscape - the democratically elected civilian government in reality has very limited authority or control over critical matters of national importance such as foreign policy and security. A historical background The military in Pakistan is not merely a human resource to guard the country against the enemy but has political wallop and opinions. To know more about the power that the army enjoys in Pakistan, it is necessary to examine the times when Pakistan came into existence in 1947. In 1947, both India and Pakistan were carved out of the British Empire. India became a democracy whereas Pakistan witnessed several military rulers and still continues to suffer from a severe civil- military imbalance even after 70 years of its birth. During India’s war of Independence, the British primarily recruited people from the Northwest of undivided India which post partition became Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the majority of the people recruited in the Pakistan Army during that period were from the Punjab martial races.

    Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, Risks

    MILITARY BUDGETS in INDIA and PAKISTAN Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks by Shane Mason Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks © Copyright 2016 by the Stimson Center. All rights reserved. Printed in Washington, D.C. Stimson Center 1211 Connecticut Avenue, NW 8th Floor Washington, D.C. 20036 U.S.A. Visit www.stimson.org for more information about Stimson’s research. 2 Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks PREFACE The Stimson Center prides itself in fact-driven analysis, as exemplified in Shane Mason’s report, Military Budgets in India and Pakistan: Trajectories, Priorities, and Risks. Shane’s analysis and policy-relevant conclusions are properly caveated, because India does not reveal some important data about defense spending, and Pakistan, while doing better to offer its citizens defense budget information, still reveals less than India. While Shane has found it necessary to draw inferences about spending for nuclear weapon- related programs, for which there is little publicly available information, he has been transparent about his sources and methodology. Those who appreciate reading the pages of The Economist will find comfort immersing themselves in Shane’s charts and graphs comparing trends in Indian and Pakistani defense expenditures. This Stimson report is also accessible to those who prefer analysis to numerology. Shane’s analytical bottom lines are worth highlighting. The growth of India’s defense expenditures relative to Pakistan are noteworthy, but the full impact of this differential will be diminished absent reforms in familiar organizational, bureaucratic, and procurement practices, as well as by growth in benefit payments.

    125-132 Book Review -Eng.Qxd

    MILITARY INC. Ayesha Siddiqa. Military Inc.: Inside Pakistan's Military Economy. London: Pluto Press, 2007. 304 p. Reviewed by Gennady Evstafiev In 2007 Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa, a Pakistani political analyst and Woodrow Wilson Center scholar, published her fundamental research on a specific phenomenon, observed in a number of third world countries, looking into its history, development, current situation and influence in Pakistan. This phenomenon is an increasing participation of the military forces in the business and economic life of some countries, contracted as Milbus. Even though Dr. Siddiqa scrutinized abundant data related to the situation in her native coun try, nearly all revealed trends and methods of penetrating into the economic life of a state are also characteristic of the military in Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, more so in Turkey, and to different degrees in a number of other countries, including those in Latin America, and even countries like China (before 1988). The degree to which the military have penetrated into the economy and the general level of their influence in society directly depends on and is proportional to the degree of their access to political leverage and relations with other key political players of a country. Naturally, meth ods used by military circles depend on the historical circumstances in which specific countries emerged and developed, as well as on the nature of relations between civil society and top mil itary echelons, power and influence of specific political institutions in some countries, espe cially the democratic ones. The conclusion made by Dr. Siddiqa is very much wellgrounded and can be handy in analyti cal research of the role the military play today in developing countries that for various histori cal, economic, and political reasons are prone to longterm instability and imbalance of polit ical systems.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 23:42 28 November 2016 Pakistan’s Inter- Services Intelligence Directorate This book is the first comprehensive study of Pakistan’s Inter- Services Intelli- gence Directorate (ISI). The rise of Pakistan- backed religious extremist groups in Afghanistan, India and Central Asia has focused international attention on Pakistan’s premier intelligence organization and covert action advocate, the Inter- Services Intelligence Directorate or ISI. While ISI is regarded as one of the most powerful government agencies in Pakistan today, surprisingly little has been written about it from an academic perspective. This book addresses critical gaps in our understanding of this agency, including its domestic security mission, covert backing of the Afghan Taliban, and its links to al- Qa’ida. Using primary source materials, including declassified intelligence and diplomatic reporting, press reports and memoirs, this book explores how ISI was transformed from a small, negligible counter intelligence outfit of the late- 1940s into the national security behemoth of today with extensive responsibilities in domestic security, political interference and covert action. This study concludes that reforming or even eliminating ISI will be funda- mental if Pakistan is to successfully transition from an army- run, national security state to a stable, democratic society that enjoys peaceful relations with its neighbors. This book will be of interest to students of intelligence studies, South Asian politics, foreign policy and international security in general. Owen L. Sirrs is Adjunct Professor at the University of Montana, USA, and the author of two previous books, including, most recently, The Egyptian Intelligence Service (Routledge 2011).

    Educationinpakistan a Survey

    Education in Pakistan: A Survey ∗ Dr. Tariq Rehman Every year the government of Pakistan publishes some report or the other about education. If not specifically about education, at least the Economic Survey of Pakistan carries a chapter on education. These reports confess that the literacy rate is low, the rate of participation in education at all levels is low and the country is spending too little in this area. Then there one brave promises about the future such as the achievement of hundred percent literacy and increasing the spending on education which has been hovering around 2 percent of the GNP since 1995 to at least 4 percent and so on. Not much is done, though increases in the number of schools, universities and religious seminaries (madaris) is recorded. The private sector mints millions of rupees and thousands of graduates throng the market not getting the jobs they aspired to. The field of education is a graveyard of these aspirations. 1 ∗ Professor of Linguistics, National Institute of Pakistan Studies, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. 1.
