  • South Asia Trends Is a Monthly Newsletter on South Asian Affairs
    SOUTH ASIASOUTH TRENDS ASIA TRENDS August 2014 August 2014 South Asia Trends is a monthly newsletter on South Asian affairs. The purpose of the newsletter is to provide a panoramic view of important events that shape and impact the politics of the subcontinent. The effort would be to inform our readers of the domestic, regional and international repercussions of the political debates and diplomatic engagements that take place in South Asia. Compiled & Edited by: Gulbin Sultana SOUTH ASIA TRENDS August 2014 Editor’s Note rotest marches against Nawaz Sharif Government were launched by Pakistan PTehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri on August 14. According to media reports powerful sections within the Pakistan army orchestrated the protests against Nawaz Sharif government to cut him to size and get complete hold on foreign policy on Afghanistan and India and on internal security issues. Looking at the turn of events ever since, it appears that to a large extent, the Army has achieved what it wanted. Nawaz Sharif banked on the Army's support to deal with the political crisis. Against this backdrop, it was speculated in the Pakistani media that henceforth, Nawaz Sharif would be completely guided by the Army while dealing with India, Afghanistan and internal security. On the other hand, Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri failed to bring out the protestors in large numbers, which showed the lack of popular endorsement of their movement. It has now become a prestige issue for Imran Khan and he has shut the door on any honourable exit from this show.

  • Discovering Myths of Industrial Fire of Baldia-Factory Pakistan
    Discovering Myths of Industrial Fire of Baldia-Factory Pakistan Abdul Manan Shaikh,1 Jawaid A. Qureshi,2,* Muhammad Asif Qureshi3 1, 2, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST), Karachi, Pakistan, 3Universiti Uttara Malaysia *Email: [email protected] Abstract This is a case study of ‘the most terrifying event’ of Baldia Town Factory Karachi-Pakistan, an unfortunate garments facility and exporters that suffered from devastating fire accident on 9/11 of 2012. It caused instant death of 258 factory workers and hundreds injured. The owners belonged to Bhaila Memons – a very successful business community, who had billions of rupees’ investment and exports, employed one thousand workers and paid taxes. The data was garnered from pertinent literature, media content chronicle analysis (MCCA to record almost date-wise records on different developments), and Delphi technique to conduct eight interviews from industry experts. The initial media reports (of renowned newspapers having their news TV and online news channels too) accused the owners for such tragic event. Later on, the government investigation teams revealed shocking facts and held a Karachi-based legal political party responsible for it, as its terrorist wing was allegedly involved in the brutish plot, who perpetrated inferno since the owners of the factory refused to disburse extortion money. Domestic stakeholders, policy makers and international organizations intervened to compensate the victims but sadly, the law courts could not exercise justice. The event was deemed as an assault on the engine of the economy. Keywords: Baldia Town Factory; Industrial Fire; Strategy; Operational Crises; Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) 1.

  • Pakistan's Sindh Province
    MEMORANDUM October 29, 2015 To: Hon. Brad Sherman Attention: Kinsey Kiriakos From: K. Alan Kronstadt, Specialist in South Asian Affairs, x7-5415 Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Subject: Pakistan’s Sindh Province This memorandum responds to your request for information on Pakistan’s Sindh province, including specific discussion of its Thatta and Badin districts. Content may appear in other CRS products. Please contact me if you need further assistance. Overview1 Sindh is one of Pakistan’s four provinces, accounting for roughly one-quarter of the country’s population in less than 18% of its land area. Its provincial capital, Karachi, is among the world’s largest megacities, and also the site of significant sectarian, ethnic, and political violence. Covering more than 54,000 square miles of southeastern Pakistan (about the size of Florida, see Figure 1), Sindh stretches from the Jacobabad district in the north to the vast Indus River delta wetlands abutting the Arabian Sea and India in the south, and from the thinly-populated Dadu district in the west to the Thar Desert and a militarized border with India to the east (see Figure 2). One-third of Pakistan’s 650-mile Arabian Sea coastline is in Sindh. The vast majority of Sindh’s residents live at or near the final few hundred miles of the Indus’s course. Official government population statistics continue to be based on the most recent national census in 1998, which put Sindh’s population at 30.4 million out of Pakistan’s then-total 132 million, with 52% living in rural areas.
