Development Citizenship in the Age of Terror: The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement in Pakistan
Many lessons might be learnt about the borderland as a transnational place in the Global South in our era of paranoid hyper-nationalism. Gramsci’s insights teach us that the rehabilitation of a dissident population as a preventative measure by militaries is no different when it comes to combating the ‘first elements’ of insurgency. This article examines the response to these measures by a single social movement that has been borrowing development…
Delegated safeguarding or surveillance by proxy? Education: The prevent statutory duty in action
Like a Hair Drawn from Flour: Everyday Militarization and Female Recruitment for Church Security Teams in Pakistan
This article considers what motivates Christian women in Pakistan to volunteer for security teams that protect their religious communities from political violence. Our qualitative data show how the acquisition of manpower—namely the military's capacity to enlist support from civil society—has also shaped these subaltern groups into informal specialists on violence. School caterers, homemakers, laborers, garment factory stitchers, sanitary workers…
Education as self-government: The Minhaj Education Society's answer to managing violence in Pakistan
Development thinking and planning consistently identify religious markers of self-development as inimical to social cohesion in the Global South. Practitioners in the field see any educational philosophy that emphasises the disciplined formation of character by non-secular means as an undesirable reaction to modernisation. Religious or madrasa education is identified as an intrinsically regressive aspect of the indigenous social order that limits…
Policing native pleasures: A Colonial History
The moral modality of colonial power is still with us when it comes to the recreation of sexual norms of traditional or feudal society. We can examine the emergent properties of colonial knowledge anew by exploring how the colonial regime's strategic attention of regulating brothels in India differed from the analytic of power Foucault described for sexuality in European society. It turns out that amongst other things, public anxieties about the …
Symbology and Subaltern Resistance in Hīra Mandi Mohalla
This essay examines religious consciousness as a purposive mode of action by subaltern women in a brothel community in Pakistan. In subaltern scholarship more generally and especially in historiography, this consciousness is treated as a ‘pre-political’ form of resistance; it appears as if spontaneously in the modality of insurgency. In the diachronic analysis of subaltern resistance the highly formal or ritual nature of collectivity is shown to …
B R Ambedkar's challenge to the Puranic past
As one of the architects of the state newly liberated from British colonial rule, Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar's (1891–1956) thinking represents a departure from the near universal dichotomy of native tradition versus colonial modernity that Congress Party nationalists such as M K Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru were tactically engaged in during the years preceding formal independence. This article examines Ambedkar's sociological interpretation of India's…
