Deforestation in the Princely State of Dir on the North-West Frontier and the Imperial Strategy of British India
Central Asia Journal No. 86, Summer 2020 CONSERVATION OR IMPLICIT DESTRUCTION: DEFORESTATION IN THE PRINCELY STATE OF DIR ON THE NORTH-WEST FRONTIER AND THE IMPERIAL STRATEGY OF BRITISH INDIA Saeeda & Khalil ur Rehman Abstract The Czarist Empire during the nineteenth century emerged on the scene as a Eurasian colonial power challenging British supremacy, especially in Central Asia. The trans-continental Russian expansion and the ensuing influence were on the march as a result of the increase in the territory controlled by Imperial Russia. Inevitably, the Russian advances in the Caucasus and Central Asia were increasingly perceived by the British as a strategic threat to the interests of the British Indian Empire. These geo- political and geo-strategic developments enhanced the importance of Afghanistan in the British perception as a first line of defense against the advancing Russians and the threat of presumed invasion of British India. Moreover, a mix of these developments also had an impact on the British strategic perception that now viewed the defense of the North-West Frontier as a vital interest for the security of British India. The strategic imperative was to deter the Czarist Empire from having any direct contact with the conquered subjects, especially the North Indian Muslims. An operational expression of this policy gradually unfolded when the Princely State of Dir was loosely incorporated, but quite not settled, into the formal framework of the imperial structure of British India. The elements of this bilateral arrangement included the supply of arms and ammunition, subsidies and formal agreements regarding governance of the state. These agreements created enough time and space for the British to pursue colonial interests in Ph.D. -

Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU
Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9). -

Pre-Islamic Heritage in the Northern Areas of Pakistan
Pre Islamic Heritage in the Northern Areas of Pakistan HARALD- HAUPTMANN he kilometre long mountain range composed of the Hindukush and the Karakorams in the north and- the Himalayas- in the east forms a seemingly impenetrable barrier separating the Indian Tsubcontinent from the highlands of Central Asia and China. Yet the history of this part of the world, supported by archaeological finds, proves that throughout hundreds and thousands of years im portant cultural movements were able to overcome this obstacle. Such was the case for the Greco Hellenis-- tic influences of the empire formed by Alexander the Great which reached as far as the higher Indus- val- leys; and such was the case for the expansion of Buddhism from the Indian subcontinent to China, which pro ceeded along similar routes from south to north across the mountains. Another stream of cultural in- flu -ences penetrated the mountain ranges from west to east, that is, from Iran and Transoxania through the highlands- of Central Asia into the Indian subcontinent. Finally, the trade along the ancient Silk Route cre ated an inverse, equally important stream, leading from China to the Middle East and to the Indian sub- continent, although since the sixteenth century an increasing international sea trade was to reduce the im- portance of this connection. - All these movements were based on routes established by the highly ramified Indus river system, which had cut several gateways into the high mountain ranges and allowed migrations and invasions, as well as trade and cultural exchange, to happen along its valleys (fig. ). The lower routes along the valleys of Ghizer, Gilgit, Hunza, Shigar, Shyjok and Astor were complemented by passes leading across the interposed ‘Bam î Dunya (the ‘roof of the world’) – such as the Baroghil ( m), Khora Burt ( m) and Darkot (- m).1 Gilgit, the ‘gate to India’, served as the main hub interconnecting the north south routes from China to the Punjab with the west east routes between Iran and Kashmir and Ladakh,- via Chitral.
