Pakistan Factor and the Competing Perspectives in India
A new political lexicon in Pakistan's civil–military relations (2013–2018)
The rise of a new political lexicon—indirectly referring to the military's interference in political affairs—in Pakistan's civil–military relations (2013–2018) is a recent development. It marked the beginning of a transitionary phase in the country's political culture and provided an alternative medium for political dissent. It helped strike a balance between outright confrontation and complete conformism by civilian forces in the political spect…
The rise of peripheral nationalism in Pakistan and the Pashtun Tahafuz movement
Pakistan is facing a robust wave of nationalism in the shape of the Pashtun Tahafuz (protection) movement. It is not the first time Pakistan is experiencing the outburst of a peripheral nationalist movement. Since the inception of Pakistan in 1947, it has been confronting the multiple challenges stemming out from the ethnic movements. Pakistan was fragmented in 1971 at the hands of the Bengali sub-nationalist movement. The separatist demands in S…
Politics of Power-Sharing in Disputed Territories
The proper functioning of the government and administration of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) is taken care of by Pakistan through the successive installment of courts and a series of acts that inter alia include the 1962 Act, the 1970 Act, and the Interim Constitution Act 1974. This paper discusses power-sharing arrangements in AJK, and makes connections to asymmetrical federalism and liminality. It further dissects the matrix of the 13th amendmen…
The changing political trends in erstwhile Fata
This study investigates the changing political trends in erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Analysis of the last three elections (2008, 2013, 2018) shows a substantial change in the region. The tribal structure, local traditions, power arrangement and electoral practices have changed significantly over a decade. The extension of the Political Parties Order to the region and its merger with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stimulated pol…
Chosen trauma and saffronization of India
The research undertakes the structural transformation of India by the ideology of Hindutva embodied by the contemporary government of the Bhartiya Janata Party. This study is a first of its kind as it attempts to decipher the genesis of this metamorphosis from a psychoanalytical perspective. India has been accredited as a stalwart of democracy and an uploader of an inclusive multicultural and multireligious society. The interplay of Hindu nationa…
State formation and the postcolonial decay in Pakistan
The study undertakes the structural transformation in the postcolonial states with reference to Pakistan. It attempts to dissect the process of decay given the pretext of the colonial past and the institutional legacies. This interplay has led to the hybridity in political and institutional structures which have resultantly plagued the governance and state structure in Pakistan. This study attempts to underscore the nuances and underpinnings whic…
The Changing Dynamics and New Developments of China–Pakistan Relations
The China–Pakistan relation has historical underpinning. By establishing diplomatic relations in 1951, each passing decade has witnessed that China–Pakistan relations coalesce into a dependable friendship. This relationship has gone beyond the usual diplomatic and political comfortability transcending to a broad-based framework incorporating economics, trade and defence dimensions. In the given context, this paper is an empirical study aiming to …
Space Militarization in South Asia
India’s quest for space weaponization will have consequences for regional stability. South Asia remains a precarious region given the historical rivalry between India and Pakistan and their posture of mutual deterrence. India’s pursuit of space weaponization and subsequent militarization will trigger an expensive and unnecessary arms race between India and Pakistan, exacerbating the fragility of the South Asian security matrix
