The Pashtun society knows Kakaji Sanobar Hussain as a stalwart celebrity of the 20 th Century. But this is certain that the social and reformist activities crossed the boundaries of Pashtun society and thus through his everlasting and universal contribution, he had made his name as a humanist and international personality. Kakaji contributed a lot to Pashtun society in the field of journalism, literature and politics. Apart from this he was a practical freedom fighter against the British imperialism. If we put a glance on his life and struggle, we will admit and admire that he was a poet, an activist, an out spoken person and politician. This paper throws light on his life and services in Pashtun Society. Kaka JI born in 1897, in a small village named as Kaga Wala. It is located in 8 kilometers in the south of Peshawar on the main Kohat road near Badaber. He was a student of Islamia College Peshawar and after the completion of his studies he came in the profession of teaching. Soon he realized that he was not made for this purpose. He wanted to bring the people from the slavery of the British government. Therefore, he left his profession and initiated his political activities. He has

  • Zazai Tribe’ Mean Anything About the Origin of Zaza People? (Zazai Aşireti Zazaların Kökeni Hakkında Bir Şeyler Söyleyebilir Mi?)
    Bingöl Üniversitesi Yaşayan Diller Enstitüsü Dergisi Yıl:1, Cilt:1, Sayı:1, Ocak 2015, ss. 115-123 Can ‘Zazai Tribe’ Mean Anything About The Origin Of Zaza People? (Zazai Aşireti Zazaların Kökeni Hakkında Bir Şeyler Söyleyebilir Mi?) Rasim BOZBUĞA1 Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to review bibliography and investigate relevant information about Zazai tribe and Zaza people in order to explore pos- sible connection between them. Findings about Zazas and Zazai Pastun tribe indicate that these two groups have strong connection which is more than ha- ving phonological similar names. Moreover, religious, cultural, historical re- semblances point out that these two groups share some mutual characteristics. Indeed, it is strongly possible that these two groups have originated from same ancestors or same areas (i.e. greater Khorasan or Northern Iran). Keywords : Zazas, Zaza People, The Origin Of The Zazas, Zazai Peshtun Tribe And Zaza Peshtun. Özet Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza halkı arasında ses benzerliği dışında ilişki bulunup bu- lunmadığı sorusunu cevaplamaya çalışan bu çalışmada Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza halkı arasında dilbilimsel, dinsel, kültürel ve yaşam biçimi açısından dikkat çekici benzerliklerin bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Zazaca’nın en yakın olduğu dillerden biri olan Partça bazı kelimelerin hem Zazaca’da hem Peştunca’da bulunması, Peştun aşiretlerinden sadece Zazai aşiretiyle soy birliği olan Turi aşiretinin Şii olması, Zazai Attan dansıyla Alevi semahlarının benzer figürleri 1 Gazi Üniversitesi Siyaset Bilimi Doktora Öğrencisi Yıl/Year:1, Cilt/Volume:1, Sayı/Issue:1, Ocak 2015 116 Rasim BOZBUĞA içermesi, Zazai aşiretinin yaşadığı bölgelerin Zazaların yaşadığı coğrafya gibi dağlık alanlar olması, Zazai aşiretinin ataları arasında Zaza-Goran gruplar ara- sında bulunan Kakai adında atanın olması, Zazai aşiretinin içinde bulundugu Karlan grubunun sonradan Peştunlaştığına ilişkin rivayetler Zazai aşiretiyle Zaza/Goran halkının ortak bir coğrafya yada ortak bir soydan gelmiş olabilece- ği varsayımını güçlendirmektedir.

Having given much attention for many years to de- veloping the resources of Scinde and the Punjaub, by railways and other means of improved communication, I have of necessity had my attention called to the border lands which girdle our north-west frontier, their people, their resources, their modes of govern- ment, and their political leanings, affecting as they do the fortunes of our Indian Empire. Our relations with Russia, as we have lately seen, have been greatly influenced by the proceedings of that Power at Cabul, and our relations with Cabul have changed, and must ever modify our treatment of the intervening hill tribes; so that political or warlike movements in Afghanistan or Central Asia affect, more or less immediately, European politics. IV PREFACE. Besides having, from circumstances, taken an interest in the political questions stirring the nations of Central Asia, I have for a long period been honoured with the friendship of many distin- guished Officers and Civilians who have spent a great portion of their lives in the frontier lands of India, and it is chiefly on their friendly suggestion and approval that I am emboldened to give my views on so grave and intricate a question as the settle- ment of the frontier on our north-west border.

  • Taliban Militancy: Replacing a Culture of Peace
    Taliban Militancy: Replacing a culture of Peace Taliban Militancy: Replacing a culture of Peace * Shaheen Buneri Abstract Time and again Pashtun leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan has demanded for Pashtuns' unity, which however until now is just a dream. Violent incidents and terrorist attacks over the last one decade are the manifestation of an intolerant ideology. With the gradual radicalization and militarization of the society, festivals were washed out from practice and memory of the local communities were replaced with religious gatherings, training sessions and night vigils to instil a Jihadi spirit in the youth. Pashtun socio-cultural and political institutions and leadership is under continuous attack and voices of the people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA find little or no space in the mainstream Pakistani media. Hundreds of families are still displaced from their homes; women and children are suffering from acute psychological trauma. Introduction Pashtuns inhabit South Eastern Afghanistan and North Western Pakistan and make one of the largest tribal societies in the world. The Pashtun dominated region along the Pak-Afghan border is in the media limelight owing to terrorists’ activities and gross human rights violations. After the United States toppled Taliban regime in Afghanistan in 2001, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) became the prime destination for fleeing Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters and got immense * Shaheen Buneri is a journalist with RFE/RL Mashaal Radio in Prague.

  • The Nexus of Religious Extremism and Pakhtun Culture: Myths and Realities
    TAKATOO Issue 4 Volume 7 July- December 2015 14 The Nexus of Religious Extremism and Pakhtun Culture: Myths and Realities Dr.Abdul Qadir Khan * Z Dr. Adil Zaman Kasi Y Syed Amir Shah Abstract : After the end of cold war, the ascendency of Taliban in Afghanistan, the rise of religious extremism in frontier regions of Pakistan and Pashtun nationalism has become one of the hotly debated issues. The Pashtun identity, its historical evolution and relationship with religion can be depicted from a statement of Khan Abdul Wali Khan which he gave during 1980s that whether he was a Pashtun first, a Pakistani or a muslim. His famous reply was that he had been a Pashtun for last three thousand years, a muslim for thirteen hundred years and a Pakistani for only twenty five years. This statement shows a complicated nature of Pashtun nationalism especially in wake of post 9/11 world, in which a rise of Taliban phenomenon has overshadowed many of its original foundations. Many scholars in the west and from within the country attribute the rise of talibanization in Pashtun society to the culture of pashtuns. To them, Pashtun culture has many aspects that help promote radical ideas. For examplethe overwhelming majority of Pashtun population adheres to deobandi school of thought unlike in Punjab which follows brelvi school of thought. Similarly, the rise of talibanization is also cited as an evidence for their claim that Pashtun culture is very conducive for promotion of radical ideas. Thus, these scholars draw close relationship between Pashtun nationalism and talibanization and make them appear as two faces of same coin.

Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences University of Peshawar, Pakistan. 2. Department of Defence & Strategic Studies, Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan. 3. Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Buner, Pakistan. ………………………………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Two events in the last five decades proved to be disastrous for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), now part of KP province: the USSR invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and ‘War on Terror' initiated by the US against militants in Afghanistan in 2001. After the incident of 9/11, FATA became the centre of global terrorism and emerged as the most dangerous place. Taliban’s rule was overthrown in Kabul, and they escaped and found refugees across the eastern border of Afghanistan with Pakistan. This paper aims at studying the emergence of Talibanization in FATA and its impacts on the local culture and religion. Furthermore, the research studies the effects of military operations on FATA’s cultural values and codes of life. Taliban, in FATA, while taking advantage of the local vulnerabilities and the state policy of appeasement, started expanding their roots and networks throughout the country. They conducted attacks on the civilians and security forces particularly when Pakistan joined the US ‘war on terror.’ Both the militancy and the military operations have left deep imprints thus affected the local culture, customs, values, and religious orientations in FATA.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT The thesis begins by describing the socio-political and economic organisation of the tribes of Waziristan in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as aspects of their culture, attention being drawn to their egalitarian ethos and the importance of tarburwali, rivalry between patrilateral parallel cousins. It goes on to examine relations between the tribes and the British authorities in the first thirty years after the annexation of the Punjab. Along the south Waziristan border, Mahsud raiding was increasingly regarded as a problem, and the ways in which the British tried to deal with this are explored; in the 1870s indirect subsidies, and the imposition of ‘tribal responsibility’ are seen to have improved the position, but divisions within the tribe and the tensions created by the Second Anglo- Afghan War led to a tribal army burning Tank in 1879.

D.I.Khan, and FR.Tank. FATA accounts for 27220 km2 or 3.4% of Pakistan's land area. Either side of FATA Pashtun tribes reside in Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to the 1998 census the population of FATA was 3.138 million or 2.4% of Pakistan's total population, currently estimated approximately 3.5 million. Various Pashtun Muslim tribes inhabit FATA. A small number of religious minorities, Hindus and Sikhs, also inhabit some of the tribal agencies. The following are the tribes residing in FATA. In Khyber Agency: Afridi (Adamkhel, Akakhel, Kamarkhel, Kamberkhel, Kukikhel, Malik Dinkhel, Sipah, Zakhakhel), Shinwari (Ali Sherkhel), Mullagori (Ahmadkhel, Ismailkhel) and Shilmani (Shamsherkhel, Haleemzai, Kam Shilmani).1 In Kurram: Turi, Bangash, Sayed, Zaimusht, Mangal, Muqbil, Ali Sherzai, Massuzai, and Para Chamkani.2 In Bajaur: Salarzai branch of the Tarkalanri tribe (Ibrahim Khel, Bram Khel (Khan Khel) and Safi.3 In Mohmand: Musakhel, Tarakzai, Safi, Uthmankhel, and Haleemzai.4 In Orakzai: Aurakzai and Daulatzai. 5 In South Waziristan: Mahsud Wazir, and Dottani/ Suleman Khels.6 In North Waziristan: Dawar, Wazir, Saidgi and Gurbaz.7 In Frontier Regions: Ahmadzai, Uthmanzai, Shiranis, Ustrana, zarghunkhel, Akhorwal, Shirakai, Tor Chappar, Bostikhel, Jawaki, Hasan khel, Ashukhel, Pasani, Janakor, Tatta, Waraspun, and Dhana.

Freedom House supports democratic change, monitors freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights. Since its founding in 1941 by prominent Americans concerned with the mount- ing threats to peace and democracy, Freedom House has been a vigorous proponent of democratic values and a steadfast opponent of dictatorships of the far left and the far right. Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie served as Freedom House’s first honorary co-chairpersons. Today, the organization’s diverse Board of Trustees is composed of a bipartisan mix of business and labor leaders, former senior government officials, scholars, and journalists who agree that the promotion of de- mocracy and human rights abroad is vital to America’s interests. aCknOwlEdgEmEnTs and sTudy team Policing Belief: The Impact of Blasphemy Laws on Human Rights was re- searched and written by Jo-anne prud’homme, a human rights researcher and advocate.
