  • Dispositifs of (Dis)Order: Gangs, Governmentality and the Policing of Lyari, Pakistan Adeem Suhail
    Dispositifs of (Dis)Order: Gangs, governmentality and the policing of Lyari, Pakistan Adeem Suhail Abstract: At a moment when the violence of policing has found its locus in the bureaucratic institutions of ‘the police’, anthropology offers a more expansive idea of policing as a social function, articulated through multiple social forms, and crucial to hierarchical orders. This article draws on the idea of the dispositif to offer a processual model for understanding how non-state violence abets the maintenance of social order. Exploring the limits of biopolitics and drawing on ethnographic evidence, it uses the case of gang activity in Lyari, Pakistan, to show how gangsters maintained, rather than disrupt, the dominant social order in the city. Furthermore, it shows that those who challenged the inherently violent and exploitative order implemented by the gangs and the city's political elite were prime targets of public violence wielded by law and outlaw working together as a dispositif. Introduction The policeman who collected him from the recycling depot did not offer any explanations which made Babu Maheshwari apprehensive. Things became clearer when a few blocks away they arrived at the drainage nala. Babu saw the boy floating face-down in the murky waters amidst the thick sludge of excreta, plastics, chemicals, and once-desired objects that form Karachi’s daily discharge. This mundanely repugnant ecology had claimed and begun consuming the boy. Babu, a veteran municipal waste worker hailing from the ex-untouchable Dalit communities of coastal Sind, was brung, once more, to be the instrument that reclaimed the body, as a once-desired object, now discarded by city into its rivers of shit.

  • Life and Death in Lyari
    Life and Death in Lyari The beaches and boardwalk at Clifton Beach A Further partition in Pakistan's port city of Karachi By FATIMA BHUTTO Published : 1 March 2010 1. KARACHI IS MY CITY, my home, but I was seven years old the first time I set foot on its soil. I was boarded onto a Pakistan International Airlines plane by my father from our exile home in Syria, and told I would be seated next to an old Sindhi woman who would look after me should I need anything. We never said a word to each other, the old Sindhi woman and I. She smiled at me nervously from time to time, and I grimaced back. I was anxious. It was my first time flying alone, my first time going home. Sometime after midnight the crew of PIA stewardesses, clad in deep green shalwar kameez with their pastel flowered dupattas neatly pinned across their shoulders, filed out along the aisles holding a cake and singing Happy Birthday to a Very Important Passenger. Everyone on board clapped and waited patiently for a piece of birthday cake. I didn't sleep a wink that night. My grandmother, Joonam as I called her in her native Farsi, picked me up that bright December morning at Karachi's Jinnah airport. At the time, it looked like a small bus shed. Cement walls, grey and unpainted, dirty tiled floors and creaking baggage belts, badly needing to be oiled. In the city, palm trees that bore coconuts, not the dates our palms carried in Damascus, lined the wide streets.

  • A Geographical Assessment of Lyari River Through History
    Pakistan Geographical Review, Vol.72, No2, December. 2017, PP 112-121 THE LOSS OF FRESH WATER RESOURCES: A GEOGRAPHICAL ASSESSMENT OF LYARI RIVER THROUGH HISTORY YASMEEN ANIS*, SHEEBA AFSAR* AND NADIA ASAD SIDDIQUI ** [email protected], Department of Geography, University of Karachi-75270, Pakistan [email protected] Department of Geography, University of Karachi-75270, Pakistan [email protected] Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited, Lahore-54000, Pakistan ABSTRACT Population growth and the extra-ordinary exploitation of resources are two common phenomena observed simultaneously especially in the developing countries. This population growth can easily be seen in the form of urbanization brought up mainly by in-migration in search of work or by natural increase of population. This unorganized and unplanned expansion of urban areas may lead to the deterioration, contamination and sometimes disappearance of the resource completely. For instance, occupancy of floodplains, removal of agricultural lands or forests etc. Such cases are common in the developing countries of South Asia, South East Asia, South America and Africa. Among the South Asian Countries; Pakistan is also facing such problems of squatter settlements. Karachi is Pakistan’s fastest growing urban center and is also the large regional hub of economic activities. Therefore, millions of people from other parts of country move to the city in search of work. The city was historically a fishing village originated along a fresh water river though seasonal –The Lyari River. The origin of present Karachi is mainly evolved around Lyari River because the fishing village gained importance during the British rule when the port was constructed in order to get link to the British Crown through water ways.

AKHTAR, M.R.DHANANI++* Department of Geography, University of Karachi Received 17th January 2013 and Revised 30th May 2013 Abstract: In the period of 1981to1998 massive flight of population was recorded in Karachi City from the central city to the outskirts. As a result central population density sharply fell and population density gradient adopted a gentle slope. Similarly during the period 2002 to 2012, massive rural lands in Karachi had been converted into urbanized lands. As a result first time overall population density of Karachi fell. These results indicate urban sprawl phenomenon in Karachi which was first identified in America in the 1950s. This paper is an attempt: a) to investigate urban sprawl phenomenon in Karachi b) to evaluate how urban sprawl in Karachi is dissimilar to American cities c) to probe causes and impacts of sprawl in Karachi, and d) to analyse opinions of the city dwellers about the policies of dispersal and counter dis persal. Keywords: Karachi, Urban sprawl, counter dispersal, density gradient. 1. INTRODUCTION Kingdom suburbanization started in the late Urban sprawl is a term associated with 19th and early 20 th century as a result of the the rapid growth of urban area resulted loss of policies of population deconcentration and agricultural land, forest and rangeland.
