  • Pakistani Migrants in the United States: the Interplay of Ethnic Identity and Ethnic Retention
    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 5, No. 4; August 2016 Pakistani Migrants in the United States: The Interplay of Ethnic Identity and Ethnic Retention Dr. Navid Ghani Five Towns College Professor of Sociology and History 305 N Service Rd, Dix Hills, NY 11746 United States Abstract This study is designed to explore the process of integration of first-generation Pakistani immigrants in the United States. There are two analytical themes that are the focus of this study. The first is the question of their integration into American society. What are the factors that have led to their maintenance of strong ethnic attachment, and their role in the shifting interplay of integration versus ethnic retention? The second issue is the factors that hinder their integration into American society, and how they perceive their cultural heritage versus mainstream norms and values. I rely on five benchmarks to assess first-generation immigrant integration: socioeconomic status, cultural heritage such as religious and social activities, perceptions, and experiences of discrimination, and gender relations. Based on ethnographic methods such as interviews and participant observations, one level of integration is explained. This level of integration is related to high ethnic identity and low integration, and is explained in terms of identity formation with strong ethnic characteristics but only a functional level of integration. Keywords: Immigrant, migration, ethnicity, assimilation, acculturation, socioeconomic status, gender, discrimination. 1. Introduction and Background My contribution to this discourse stems from my own background as a first-generation Pakistani immigrant, and now as a permanent resident of the United States. As such, I write from the perspective of an immigrant who has experienced the process of integration and adjustment of the Pakistani community in the United States.

May 25, 2010 U.S. Is a Top Villain in Pakistan’s Conspiracy Talk By SABRINA TAVERNISE ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Americans may think that the failed Times Square bomb was planted by a man named Faisal Shahzad. But the view in the Supreme Court Bar Association here in Pakistan’s capital is that the culprit was an American “think tank.” No one seems to know its name, but everyone has an opinion about it. It is powerful and shadowy, and seems to control just about everything in the American government, including President Obama. “They have planted this character Faisal Shahzad to implement their script,” said Hashmat Ali Habib, a lawyer and a member of the bar association. Who are they? “You must know, you are from America,” he said smiling. “My advice for the American nation is, get free of these think tanks.” Conspiracy theory is a national sport in Pakistan, where the main players — the United States, India and Israel — change positions depending on the ebb and flow of history. Since 2001, the United States has taken center stage, looming so large in Pakistan’s collective imagination that it sometimes seems to be responsible for everything that goes wrong here.

Honors Scholar Theses. 608. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/608 Decentralization and the Provision of Public Services: A Case Study of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Abstract: The effective provision of public services is integral to a functioning democracy as it connects the public to the government and grants it legitimacy. Public services are ones that are provided by the federal and local governments and paid for with constituent taxes. Public services provided by the state are education, health, water/sanitation, environmental measures, security, policing, labor and legal guidelines and so on. Whether the structure of the government is centralized or decentralized is an important factor which impacts the provision of services. Decentralized governments are state or local governments which receive monetary and institutional resources from the federal government. Previous research has shown that decentralized services are more effectively delivered than centralized services. My study examines the impact of decentralization on the provision of two services, health and education, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from 2008-2018. There are two parts to the study. First, I will use process tracing to portray the historical context of decentralization in conjunction with sociopolitical factors of the region of KP.

  • BETWEEN TWO HOMES the Lives and Identities of Pakistani Women in Hong Kong
    The Hong Kong Anthropologist, Volume 4, 2010 BETWEEN TWO HOMES The Lives and Identities of Pakistani Women in Hong Kong SO Fun Hang1 Pakistanis have been in Hong Kong for generations because of the British government, which recruited some Pakistanis as policemen from Pakistan. Most of these Pakistanis usually keep connections with their relatives in Pakistan. Some Hong Kong Pakistani women visit their family in Pakistan every year. Some only return when there are major events like, weddings or funerals. Some do not go back to Pakistan as they may not have time or money, especially after they have children. As Clifford (1997:25) suggests that one should look at culture in terms of travel relations rather than roots and home, this paper explores how Pakistani women in transit between Hong Kong and Pakistan present their identities through dress. Information for this paper is based on my field-trip to Hassan Abdal and Lahore, Pakistan in January 2009. On this trip, I was accompanied by my informant, whom I named Jannat.2 I met the 28 year-old woman through voluntary work at a community center in Hong Kong. She is married to a Hong Kong Chinese and now is the mother of two sons. Pakistani women‘s experience of life is very different in Hong Kong compared to that in Pakistan. In Hong Kong, for example, Pakistanis is a minority group in a predominately cosmopolitan Chinese society, where religious beliefs are seemingly not so important. Also, there is more or less ―gender equality,‖ with the roles of men and women overlapping both at home and in the workplace.

  • Assessing the 2017 Census of Pakistan Using Demographic Analysis: a Sub-National Perspective
    WWW.OEAW.AC.AT VIENNA INSTITUTE OF DEMOGRAPHY WORKING PAPERS 06/2019 ASSESSING THE 2017 CENSUS OF PAKISTAN USING DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: A SUB-NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE MUHAMMAD ASIF WAZIR AND ANNE GOUJON Vienna Institute of Demography Austrian Academy of Sciences Welthandelsplatz 2, Level 2 | 1020 Wien, Österreich [email protected] | www.oeaw.ac.at/vid DEMOGRAPHY OF INSTITUTE VIENNA – VID Abstract In 2017, Pakistan implemented a long-awaited population census since the last one conducted in 1998. However, several experts are contesting the validity of the census data at the sub-national level, in the absence of a post-enumeration survey. We propose in this paper to use demographic analysis to assess the quality of the 2017 census at the sub- national level, using the 1998 census data and all available intercensal surveys. Applying the cohort-component method of population projection, we subject each six first-level subnational entities for which data are available to estimates regarding the level of fertility, mortality, international, and internal migration. We arrive at similar results as the census at the national level: an estimated 212.4 million compared to 207.7 million counted (2.3% difference). However, we found more variations at the sub-national level. Keywords Census, population projections, reconstruction, Pakistan, Pakistan provinces.
