Bridging the nutrition divide
Introduction: Despite progress in reducing stunting and underweight among children in Pakistan, significant disparities remain between poor and non-poor households. Specifically, socio-economic inequalities, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate maternal and child nutrition primarily drive these disparities. Analyzing differences in child nutritional outcomes is crucial for understanding the underlying factors contributing to health inequa…
Verging war between two atomic nations
Arguably, journalistic practices should outline conflict reporting with a balanced approach to elicit non-violent responses. To date, no study has unfolded the coverage of the Indo-Pak potential war fueling “water dispute” by underpinning the theoretical notion of war and peace journalistic practices. Thus, drawing an analogy to war and peace journalism model, this article examines the media framing of the India–Pakistan water dispute in the USA,…
Local adaptation policy responses to climate change
Climate change poses devastating challenges, especially on local scales where localised evidence on adaptation is limited. Despite the vulnerability of remote mountainous regions to the impacts of climate change, there is limited research on how local communities are adapting to these climatic conditions. Therefore, this study examines the localised adaptation strategies for managing the risks associated with climate change using the case of Sher…
Factors impacting sustainable development in selected South Asian economies
This study examines selected economic, social, and environmental aspects influencing sustainable development in four South Asian economies, namely, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Applying the panel auto regressive distributed lag model, this study explores whether the gross domestic product per capita, terms of trade, employment rates, household spending, and carbon emissions affect the respective economies, considering data from 200…
Assessing the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Sector's Productivity in Pakistan
Using input-output (IO) analysis, this study attempted to examine the productivity of information and communication technology (ICT) sector in developing countries, with a particular focus on Pakistan. The effects of ICT on national economies have been thoroughly studied, however most studies have focused on industrialized economies. Using estimates of Multi-Factor Productivity (MFP), this study examined the economic impact of ICT sector in Pakis…
Translation and Dissemination of Buddhist Texts in China
Two routes of diffusion emerged during the height of the translation and dissemination of Chinese Buddhist sutras, from the Wei, Jin, Southern, and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty: the translation of elite Buddhism and the popularization of folk Buddhism. The Collection of the Six Perfections, a model for the translation works, introduced Buddhism into China by interpreting traditional Buddhist texts through the lens of Confucian philosoph…

A cross Sectional Analysis of Immorality and Divorce in Traditional society
Divorce is permissible in nearly all societies, religions, and cultures, but it is often a last option. This article explores effects of divorce on women. A sample of 210 divorced women in Pakistan were randomly selected for in-depth interviews. To assess the level of association between an independent variable statement and dependent variables, chi-square tests were carried out. Reliability analysis was also performed, and the overall reliabilit…
Capitalizing on religious narratives
This article examines how militants in Northern Pakistan capitalized on religious narratives to reconstruct militants’ reality in anticipation to help entrench their presence and control in the conflict torn district of Swat. The study entailed collection of data from both primary as well as secondary sources. Primary data were collected through conducting semi-structured interviews, whereas secondary data were collected through a rigorous review…
Psychosocial Barriers of Public Transport Use and Social Exclusion among Older Adults
Transport planning and public health have been intertwined historically. The health impact of public transport services, such as social exclusion, is a widely discussed research topic. Social exclusion is a paramount concern for older adults' health in the wake of emerging global challenges. However, there remains a significant research gap on how psychosocial barriers faced by older adults in using public transport services influence the social …

Do the Poor Really Feel Poor? Comparing Objective Poverty with Subjective Poverty in Pakistan
Collaboration and British Military Recruitment
This article examines the ways in which rural elite collaborators mobilized recruits for the British Army during the First World War. It thus not only increases knowledge of Punjab's military history, but adds to the understanding of collaboration as a process involving competitive groups in which elites manipulated the process for their own ends. The case study material drawn from the Shahpur district of the colonial Punjab argues that while the…
The Us Concern for Religious Freedom
The concern shown by the United States for the fast declining extent and scope of religious liberty around the globe has indeed been laudable. The modalities adopted by the concerned US agencies for procuring annual reports on the state of religious liberty and tolerance in various countries have not, however, been free from flaws and loopholes. Experience shows that these modalities need to be reviewed and restructured. The contents, coverage, a…

Legal Regulation of Religion in the Third World
In transitional and developing societies people still attach as much importance to religious guidelines as to the local laws of the state or province. Current constitutional documents from various Asian and African countries reveal three different models of religion–state relations. However, the legal guarantees for the state’s neutrality in religious matters and statutory guarantees of equality of all citizens are generally not reflected on the …
