||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Pakistan was achieved in the name of Islam. Much of its politics has revolved around the status of the Islam and notion of making it a political reality. This study explores the Politics made in the name of Islamic Legislation in Pakistan during the era 1979-2000. This research is based on the analysis of the authentic material in the form of literature from scholars and Government documents. Islam is considered to be unifying force but the legislation made in the name of Islam created controversies and opposition, bitter feelings and hatred in society. To make it more blinkered and intolerant, Islamic legislation should be made only through the Ijtehad performed by radicals. | |

Terrorism as a New Face of Warfare: Identifying Its Emerging Facets and Future Challenges |
||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Terrorism is the most important problem of the today’s world. It is not a new phenomenon in the national and international politics but it expanded in the post World War II period. Despite its growth as a multi-faceted political concept, it is not well-understood especially, in the Western World where every act of violence against state or society is considered terrorism. It has become all too pervasive in the post 9/11 period where anti-government protests, legitimate political movements and uprisings for independence, ethnic discriminations, domestic religious or sectarian acts and several other actions involving violence have been bracketed as terrorism. But the question regarding oppression of states against the innocent citizens demanding their right of self-determination is still unanswered. This paper is an attempt to identify the origins of terrorism as it has come to preoccupy the world in the post 9/11 period, its various dimensions and new faces, and to identify its emerging facets and future challenges. | |

Subversion of Traditional Feminine Stereotyped in Selected Pakistani Fiction |
||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | This article investigates the subversion of traditional feminine stereotyped in the Selected Pakistani Fiction, The Weary Generation by Abdullah Hussain. Pakistani writers have always highlighted the struggle and oppression of women in a patriarchal society and represented as women as weak and obedient. However, this novel stands out among the traditional novels written in Pakistan. The selected novel influenced by western ideologies portrays women as independent and confident beings. The selected Pakistani Fiction examines the main female archetype and the socio-political atmosphere that gives them birth regarding women’s autonomy and liberty. In this regard, Azra, the protagonist, subverts the traditional beliefs regarding the rights, freedom, tasks, and assignments of females in the patriarchal society. For discussion, Friedan’s Feminine Mystique has been taken as a theoretical framework. Through this, it displays a ray of hope and opens new corridors for women’s prosperity. The selected fiction is recommended for future researchers to identify the impact of western ideologies regarding female, gender, and sexuality in the Pakistani context | |

||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | The events of 9/11 have radically altered the entire discussion of Minorities – especially Muslim ones – and the issue of terrorism. As real as is the threat of al-Qaida and its international connections, many regimes of the world have seized on the US Global War against Terrorism to legitimize their own repression of Muslim and even Non-Muslim minorities. We have witnessed this in both friendly state, China and Pakistan. Most of the heterogeneous populated states consist of different ethnic communities. Each ethnic identity has different voices and demands, for the accomplishment of which, a continuous struggle is going on, influencing the national politics. Pakistan and China like other developing states of the world is also in front of identity crisis almost in there important federating units, Pakistan in Baluchistan and China in Xinjiang, with different concerns. These concerns are sometimes ethno-nationality, decentralization of powers, provincial autonomy and economic discrepancies. After the dismemberment of East Pakistan, the most sensitive and hot issue is the case of Baluchistan’s ethno-national movement which sometimes in different occasions seem to be transformed to a militant or an insurgent group for fulfillment of their objectives. And same problem in china’s Xinjiang in the case of the Uyghur. In this paper elements of Baluchistan’s and Xinjiang ethnic movement, its causes and CPEC as a solution will be thoroughly analyzed. | |

From Divinity to Decoration: The Journey of Lotus Symbol in the Art of Subcontinent |
||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | The importance of symbols in the art of Subcontinent is well-established in literature. As we move across cultural connotation of a symbol there is an intriguing shift depending upon the aesthetic use of the symbol. The paper focuses on the journey of lotus symbol in the art of Subcontinent. It maintains that the symbol has been used in the Subcontinent in two principal ways. One set of representations is loaded with spiritual connotations exemplified in Hindu and Buddhist architecture and sculpture. The other use is decorative and appears along with the arrival of the Muslims in the Subcontinent. In both cases there is a similarity in appearance but there is a clear difference in connotation that is endorsed by its position as an architectural element. The study highlights an important transition of a symbol in the art of Subcontinent through providing examples from the ancient, medieval and recent past. | |

International Media’s Take on Drone Strikes in Pakistan: Analysis of Newsweek, The Economist, and Time Magazines |
||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | To evaluate the representation of Drone strikes in Pakistan by the international media, articles of the three prominent news magazines namely the Newsweek, The Economist, and the Time were analyzed during the year 2013. The analysis of these international mainstream magazines revealed that their attitude was hostile towards Pakistan and they were extremely critical of her Army and intelligence agencies. Newsweek also castigated Pakistan on her relations with the US. Newsweek goes to frame an opinion that if the drone attacks continue to net results, and minimize civilian casualties, there should not be a problem. The Economist also frames the stance in favor of USA to the extent by saying that a surprising number of Pakistanis are in favor of drone strikes as the drones do not kill many civilians and that the Pakistani government has given its secret blessing to the CIA program. | |

Regional Co-operation among SAARC States: Hindrances and Recommendations |
||
|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | South Asia takes up a significant place in the global political scenario of today – being a turbulent region with a commonly shared cultural backdrop and a shared common political experience. It is one of the most complicated regions of the world with its multi-cultural, multi-ethnic communities and social divisions along with linguistic, regional, communal, political, religious and sectarian lines. These elements contribute an important role in creating differences and uniting the region in the same breath. One can therefore say that the ethnic or communal dimension of South Asian conflicts is well known. In the 21st century, the world saw the potential for state involvement as meetings, partnerships, and places, which changed the old definition of a sovereign state connecting to its limits. South Asia has the tremendous potential to cooperate economically, financially, socially, and energy-led. Still, the whole concept of involvement overshadows the numerous internal and external security problems in all accounts. Collaboration and protection inseparably linked in South Asian states, and neglecting to construct both would lead to the network's inability to take any possible action in the region. This paper investigates the riddle of the obstacle to any thought able course of action on availability by Pakistan and India's security elements. The historico-descriptive method of research is being used in this research paper. | |
