The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.

Based on these judgments 4083 [Adeney, 2009] it is reasonable to take the army leadership as the top executive, even under democratic rule with the exception of the Bhutto (1971- 1977) era, when the army was discredited after the Bangladesh par- tition and Bhutto was perceived to be the first democratic politician of Pakistan (4084, 132-36). 4084 [Oldenburg, 2010] Despite having four ethnically delineated provinces since 1972, namely, Baluchistan for the Baluchis, Sindh for the Sindhi, Punjab for the Punjabis, and the North-Western Frontier Province for the Pashtuns, the various ethnic groups do not enjoy territorial auton- omy.

  • Political Stability in Pakistan: Regionalism and Role of Cabinet (1947-1958)
    Political Stability in Pakistan: Regionalism and Role of Cabinet (1947-1958) Naumana Kiran Political instability is one of the major problems of Pakistan. Regionalism is the core reason of this instability, which also affected the institution of Cabinet. First ten years of Pakistan’s life are very important to explore how this problem originated, deep- rooted and damaged political stability of the country. Though Pakistan followed British Parliamentary and Cabinet system but inherent weaknesses and colonial traditions did not let Cabinet system to flourish in Pakistan on strong lines. During this eleven years period, seven Prime Ministers took over one after the other with eight Cabinets, which can be divided into three, types i.e. Single Party Cabinets, National Cabinet (Cabinet of Talent) and Coalition Cabinets. The objective of this paper is to find out how the ministers were appointed and what was the role of Region in their appointment to the Cabinet? What were the inner circles in the Cabinets and which regions of Pakistan mostly represented in it? How many rifts occurred among Cabinet colleagues on the basis of region and what changes were introduced? The whole discussion would be done phase vise i.e. (i) Single Party Cabinets from 1947 to 54 (ii) National Cabinet 1954-55 and (iii) Coalition Cabinets 1955-58. 208 Pakistan Vision Vol. 13 No. 1 Appointment to the Cabinet and Regionalism 1947-1958 Single Party Cabinets (1947-1954) East Pakistanis were always critical towards the fact that they were given less representation in the Cabinet than their due share. From 1947 to 1954, three Cabinets worked with some changes and some consistencies in the portfolios.

  • Economic Policy and Planning: Role of the Federal Cabinet, 1947-1969
    Naumana Kiran ECONOMIC POLICY AND PLANNING: ROLE OF THE FEDERAL CABINET, 1947-1969 This research paper is an attempt to highlight the Federal Cabinet’s contribution in the formulation of Pakistan’s economic policy and planning which was crucial in the early phase specifically and in later years generally. It looks into what was Cabinet’s role in the formation of large number of economic institutions, how was the Cabinet effective in introducing long- term and short term economic planning and what was contribution of the Cabinet in formulating policies in the fields of agriculture, industry, trade and business, which is not generally brought to light in the academic works on politics and economy of Pakistan. Cabinets looked into the details of the periodic reports of the development schemes as well.1 The view that Prime Ministers of Pakistan belonging to the early period did not have complete understanding of economic planning2 seems to be unrealistic. They not only understood the economic affairs but also kept their Cabinets involved in formulating the economic policies. The role of the Cabinet remained important in economic decision-making during the military period of Ayub Khan as well. The Minister for Finance and Economic Affairs enjoyed a high status in all the Cabinets, besides Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 1947, Pakistan inherited a weak economic structure which consisted of predominantly rural areas with a small number of towns. It was essentially an agricultural country with no industrial base; no banking network and small business activity controlled by the Muslims. The bulk of its population lived and worked in villages.

  • The Emergence of Pakistan by Chaudhri Muhammad
    The Emergence of Pakistan CHAUDHRI MUHAMMAD ALI 1967 reproduced by sani h. panhwar (2019) To the memory of my brother Dr. Ali Ahmad, who urged me to write this book but did not live to see it completed. Preface This book is, in the main, an account of the events in the period 1946-48, immediately preceding and following the partition of British India and the creation of two independent sovereign states—and the Union of India—on August 15, 1947. The introductory chapters describe the historical setting in which those events took place, and the social, economic, and political forces that shaped them. The last part of the book deals with the challenging problems which the newly born state of Pakistan had to face. Some of those issues are still alive, and I have in places briefly indicated developments beyond 1948. Having been associated with the leaders of the Pakistan movement from 1946 onward and having taken an active part in the momentous that led to the emergence of Pakistan, I have often been asked by friends in the past to write about them. In 1946 I was working as Financial Adviser, War and Supply, in the Government of India. When the Muslim League representatives joined the interim government of India and Liaquat Ali Khan became Finance Minister, my association with the Muslim League leaders became even closer. During the crucial days of partition I was one of the two members of the Steering Committee which was responsible to the Partition Council for the immense administrative tasks involved in partition.

  • Chapter 9. PORT PLAN
    Pakistan Transport Plan Study in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (PTPS) Chapter 9. PORT PLAN 9.1 Planning Approach 9.1.1 Function Allotment of Port Activities between Karachi and Qasim Port The ports of Karachi and Qasim have the same hinterland and transportation system. The port of Karachi is in a sense a mature port, opened a century ago. Thus, most of Pakistan's port related functions and assets have been developed here, and now handles 64 % of Pakistan’s seaborne trade and 66 % of the country’s container trade. The port of Qasim, meanwhile, was established in the early 1980’s in order to relieve the heavy congestion at the port of Karachi and was planned to be a maritime industrial cargo handling port. However, at present, the port handles not only industrial cargoes but also container and wheat. As for transportation of valuable general cargoes such as machinery and chemicals, not only economical but also swift, safe and convenient transportation measures are essential. For that purpose, containerization has progressed remarkably in international shipping. This worldwide tendency is expected to take hold in Pakistan also. In 2003/04, a total container volume of about 1.2 million TEUs was handled at the ports of Karachi and Qasim with the specialized container terminals and conventional berths. Container cargo traffic at Karachi port steadily increased from 505,000 TEUs in 1997/98 to 824,000 TEUs in 2003/04.
