The political transformations of two contiguous tribal areas in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier are compared. One region, the valley of Swat, has moved from a religious charismatic state to a more secular system. The other, the valley of Dir, has moved in the opposite direction. The contrary motion of these two, quite similar, societies is considered within a theoretical framework which focuses on the evolution of Muslim religious/political leadership types in confrontation with the state. This framework is shown to help explicate some of the apparent contradictions of comparative history in the region
