The document discusses different types of rainfall. It explains that convectional rainfall occurs when the sun heats the earth's surface, warming the air which rises through convection. As the air rises and cools, water vapor condenses to form clouds and rain. Frontal rainfall happens when a warm air mass forces under a cold air mass, causing the warm air to rise over the cold air where it cools and condenses. Orographic rainfall is produced when warm moist air is forced upward by upland areas, expanding and cooling to produce rain.

It provides details about the magnitude, date, location and impact in terms of deaths and damage for earthquakes that occurred in 1974 in Hunza, 2005 in Muzaffarabad, 2008 in Ziarat, and 2011 in Dalbandin. The 2005 Muzaffarabad earthquake caused over 80,000 deaths, while the 1974 Hunza earthquake led to over 5,300 deaths. The document stresses the importance of preparedness through training and earthquake-resistant construction.
The document discusses evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift. It describes how early in Earth's formation, chemical segregation resulted in layers forming within the planet. Later, the nebular hypothesis proposed that planets accreted from a disk of dust and gases orbiting the sun. Evidence like matching fossil distributions, rock formations, and paleoclimate patterns across separated continents supported Alfred Wegener's idea that continents had drifted apart from an original supercontinent. This helped establish the modern theory of plate tectonics.
This document provides an introduction to ecosystems and the world's major biomes. It defines an ecosystem as a community of living things that interact with each other and their non-living environment. The document then asks what the major ecosystems are and where they are located. It explains that climate is the main driving force that determines an ecosystem and affects the soil, vegetation, and animals present. Specific biomes discussed include tundra, taiga forest, deciduous forest, scrubland, grassland, desert, rainforest and savanna.
The document discusses major natural hazards that affect Pakistan, including earthquakes, floods, storms, and landslides. It provides details on Pakistan's history of earthquakes, including major events and death tolls dating back to 893 AD. Maps show Pakistan's seismic zones and fault lines. The 2005 Kashmir earthquake that killed over 80,000 people is examined. The formation of a lake due to a 2010 landslide and a new island from a 2013 earthquake are described. The document outlines Pakistan's disaster management system and challenges including a lack of preparedness and early warning systems.
This document provides information about tectonic activity, hazards, and human impacts. It discusses how tectonic processes drive hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes can have devastating human and economic impacts. The document outlines different response strategies to tectonic hazards, including modifying events, human vulnerability, and losses. Effective hazard management requires ongoing mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
Earthquake mitigation plan and measuresRizwan Samor
The document outlines an earthquake mitigation plan presented by Muhammad Rizwan from the University of Tokyo. It discusses using mosques to provide early earthquake warnings by connecting them to seismic monitoring stations. This would allow quick warnings to entire communities. It also proposes using local, inexpensive construction materials like bamboo and waste tires to strengthen masonry structures. Retrofitting existing reinforced concrete buildings with fiber reinforced polymers is recommended over demolition. The plan emphasizes training masons and the public in earthquake-resistant construction techniques and safety measures.
Causes, impacts & management of eq and floods in pakistanRizwan Samor
This document provides an overview of major earthquakes and floods in Pakistan since 1947, discussing their causes, impacts, and management. It summarizes several significant earthquakes including the 2005 Kashmir earthquake that killed over 80,000 people, and major floods in 2010 and 2011. The document outlines how earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate movement and Pakistan's location, while floods result from heavy monsoon rains. Impacts included loss of life, infrastructure damage, and economic losses. Management options discussed include improved building codes, retrofitting structures, flood infrastructure maintenance, and raising public awareness.
This document provides an overview of terrorism in Pakistan from its origins in the Soviet-Afghan war through recent attacks. It discusses how terrorist groups formed from fighters trained by Pakistan and the U.S. to oppose the Soviets. After the war, many groups remained armed and some turned to terrorism, attacking Pakistan. It also examines the socioeconomic causes of terrorism, Pakistan's responses including military operations, and debates around how to resolve the ongoing issue.
This document provides information on coffer dams and caissons. It discusses different types of coffer dams such as braced, earth-type, double-walled sheet pile, and cellular coffer dams. It also discusses environmentally friendly portable coffer dams. A case study on coffer dam construction for the Taunsa Barrage Rehabilitation Project in Pakistan is presented. Caissons are described as prefabricated foundations sunk into the ground to form foundations. Different types of caissons including box, open, pneumatic, and monolith caissons are discussed. Construction methods and examples of caisson usage are also summarized.
Al-Qaeda is a global militant Sunni Islamist organization founded in 1988 by Osama bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam. Its goal is to drive US influence from Muslim nations and establish strict sharia law. It operates as a decentralized network and has conducted numerous terrorist attacks against Western targets since the 1990s from its base in Afghanistan under the Taliban. The US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 following the 9/11 attacks forced al-Qaeda to relocate. Osama bin Laden, the leader and founder of al-Qaeda, was killed by US forces in Pakistan in 2011.

The Structure of the Earth and Plate TectonicsSteven Heath
The Earth's crust is divided into tectonic plates that move due to convection currents in the mantle. There are three types of plate boundaries - divergent where new crust is formed, convergent where plates collide and one subducts under the other, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Volcanoes and earthquakes occur predominantly at plate boundaries as a result of the movement and interaction of the plates.
The politicization of Islam is not a new phenomenon. From the outset, politics and religion have been intertwined both conceptually and practically in Islam. Because the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) established a government in Madina, precedents of governance and taxation exist. Indeed, one of the beliefs of Islam is that the purpose of the state is to provide an environment where Muslims can properly practice their religion. If a leader fails in this, the people have a right to depose him. The Islamic tradition or faith is defined by developing an appreciation of the richness of Islamic literature and arts, the increasing importance of Islamic banking and redistribution of resources through the zakat, the role of Islamic law in the Shar’iah, and the complexity of the range of Islamic religious traditions.
Pakistan is an Islamic republic located in South Asia, bordering Central Asia and the Middle East. It has four provinces and several federally administered areas and territories. The population is over 165 million, with Islam the dominant religion. Urdu and English are the official languages. Recent events in Pakistan include the Taliban flogging of a teenage girl in April 2009 and declaring judicial independence in the Swat valley. There are concerns over the imposition of Islamic law and its effects on women's rights, as well as the revival of the Taliban system of justice and whether the government can exert control over areas held by militants.
Internal Dynamics of Pakistan and its Impact on National SecurityFarooq Ahmad Butt
This document discusses the internal dynamics and security situation within Pakistan. It outlines several divisive forces like religious extremism, sectarian violence, ethnic separatist movements, and provincial tensions that are destabilizing Pakistan and impacting its national security. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Balochistan conflict, urban terrorism in Karachi, and center-province relations are highlighted as major challenges. The document also notes Pakistan's economic problems and how militancy has exploited poverty. It warns that if the internal chaos continues, Pakistan risks a fate similar to Yugoslavia through balkanization.
Improving U.S.-Pakistan Relations: A Primer for the Trump Administrationcommandeleven
This document analyzes recommendations in a report for the Trump administration on improving US-Pakistan relations. It summarizes that the report aims to pressure Pakistan by threatening to brand it as a state sponsor of terrorism, isolate it diplomatically, hold its military responsible for attacks on India, portray it as anti-US and against US/NATO forces in Afghanistan, and depict it as a rogue nuclear state. The document argues these views are outdated and do not reflect Pakistan's efforts against extremism over the past decade through military operations that have dismantled terrorist groups and brought peace to many areas.
The document discusses the ideological and socioeconomic factors contributing to internal instability in Pakistan. On the ideological side, it analyzes how the process of Islamization since the 1970s has radicalized Pakistani society and linked religious extremism to political goals. It also discusses how socioeconomic problems like poverty, unemployment, and illiteracy have created an environment conducive to extremism. Specifically, it notes that over 60% of Pakistanis live below the poverty line, literacy rates remain low, and unemployment is high. This combination of ideological and socioeconomic drivers has nurtured militancy and challenged government authority.
The Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) is a Sunni Islamist militant group that was formed in 1985 to counter Shi'a Muslim influence in Pakistan. It has gone through several name changes due to government bans. The SSP aims to make Pakistan an exclusively Sunni state and considers Shi'as to be non-Muslims. It receives funding from Gulf states and engages in both political and violent activities, especially targeting Pakistan's Shi'a minority.
Pakistan is the 5th most populous country with over 210 million people, many of whom are young. It has experienced strong economic growth in recent years. Pakistan faces many internal and external threats to peace and security, including religious extremism and sectarian violence, ethnic clashes, poverty, and tensions with neighboring countries like India and Afghanistan over issues like Kashmir. However, Pakistan has also pursued initiatives to establish peace such as participating in UN peacekeeping missions and attempting to facilitate peace talks in Afghanistan.
Peace and conflict resolution in fata: Some Reflections (conference paper)Manzoor Naazer
The document summarizes the root causes and factors contributing to militancy and conflict in FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas), Pakistan. It discusses underlying causes such as political, administrative and legal vacuum; illiteracy, unemployment and underdevelopment; and legacy of past policies. Proximate causes include reaction to Pakistan's external and internal policies; external links and funding of militancy; supply and demand dynamics of militancy; ideological justifications; and roles of other countries like the US, India and Afghanistan. The document recommends Pakistan take ownership of resolving militancy through religious counter-propaganda, stopping foreign support, and administrative reforms to address the problem.
This document discusses managing ethnic diversity and federalism in Pakistan. It begins by defining ethnicity and federalism. It then discusses the various ethnic groups in Pakistan's provinces, including Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochs, Pashtuns, and others. It notes that ethnic tensions and separatist movements have occurred, such as the Bengali separation from Pakistan in 1971. The document also examines regionalist movements among the Pashtuns, Sindhis, Mohajirs, and Baloch people. It concludes that Pakistan operates more as a unitary system rather than a true federal system, and that managing diversity requires political negotiation and strengthening democracy.
This document discusses the history of conflict and peace in the Punjab region between India and Pakistan. It argues that communal harmony in Punjab was destroyed by Mughal kings hunting Sikhs for hundreds of years, and that Punjab was ultimately partitioned due to the obstinacy of Hindu leaders and British manipulation of boundaries. The document also discusses the role of the Pakistani military in hindering peace efforts like the Kartarpur initiative, and argues that both countries are dominated by hawks bearing scars from the 1947 partition.
The document discusses the identity crisis facing Pakistan since its inception. It argues that Pakistan's ideological foundation and its status as a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual state have contributed to this crisis. Specifically, it notes debates around whether Pakistan was intended to be an Islamic state or secular democracy, as well as tensions between regional linguistic groups and religious minorities. The document outlines two main perspectives on resolving the crisis - the Islamist view of implementing an Islamic system to unite citizens, and the pluralist view of decentralization and empowering regional cultures alongside Islam. It concludes that developing a shared Pakistani national identity above other affiliations is needed for stability and progress.
This thesis examines the representation of religious minorities in two major Pakistani newspapers, Daily Dawn and Daily Jang, over a three month period in 2012. The study aims to determine if the minorities receive sufficient and accurate coverage, and to assess societal tolerance levels and the role of state institutions. Primary research will involve analyzing newspaper articles, and secondary research will include interviews and a literature review. The goal is to increase awareness of minorities' status and the need for societal tolerance in Pakistan.
Impact of relation with political parties on learningAbdul Qadir Khosa
This document provides an abstract and introduction for a research paper on the impact of political parties on student learning in Pakistan. It notes that while education is considered a fundamental human right, the current state of education in Pakistan is poor. Political parties agree on the importance of education but have failed to adequately address issues. The introduction discusses challenges facing Pakistan's education system, including a large population of out-of-school children and low literacy and education spending rates.
Link: http://bit.ly/fatareport | Reports and Photographs from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan.
Published in November 2014, the report features photos taken by young photographers from FATA, examples of everyday life in Mohmand, Khyber, Kurram and South Waziristan agencies. Images of the iconic Khyber Pass and many towns along the border with Afghanistan lend a real-life dimension to this largely unknown, and often ignored or misrepresented region of Pakistan. In a part of the world where photography is uncommon, these photographs depict subtle interactions of FATA citizens at work, at school and during informal moments throughout the tribal areas.
The report text, entitled "The Struggle for Rights and Reforms in Pakistan's Tribal Areas" describes the history and trajectory of reform demands made by Pakistani citizens, civil society groups and the people of FATA. Also included are quotes from citizens and political leaders, collected to show opinions and visions for the future of FATA. Voices included demonstrate a strong desire for equal rights and equal participation in the context of Pakistan's evolving democracy.
For those who know the tribal areas well, this report may serve as a reminder of the great number of Pakistanis working for a brighter future for FATA. For those previously not aware of the political activities in FATA, the report may provide a new and unique glimpse at the diverse richness of the culture and people in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The 75 photographs were carefully selected from over 1,000 that were submitted for review. All are from young photographers between the ages of 17 and 30, from varied socio-economic backgrounds in FATA. Without their efforts and talent, the report would not have been possible. Many thanks to the photographers--and those featured in their work--for the privilege of sharing these images and the stories they tell.
Photographers: Alimgir Khan, Ammad Ahmed Khan, Azmatullah, Faryal Mohmmand, Faisal Khan, Huma Gul, Irfan Ali, Jebran Yousefzia, Rizwan Bhittani, Rohida, Saba Rehman, Sara Qayum, Seema Gul and Shah Jehan.
This document discusses Pakistan's role in combating terrorism. It outlines several factors that contribute to terrorism in Pakistan, including its geographical location bordering countries experiencing conflicts, economic and political instability within Pakistan, and involvement of external powers seeking to destabilize the region. The document examines Pakistan's weaknesses in combating terrorism, such as societal divisions and poverty, as well as its strengths, including national unity around the vision of an independent Pakistan and resilience of the Pakistani people. It provides recommendations for addressing the root causes of terrorism by promoting economic development, justice and hope. Combating terrorism requires a long-term, global approach rather than short-term military solutions alone.
Political Reforms in FATA: Will it End Militancy? (Sayed Wiqar Shah 2012)fatanews
This document summarizes a working paper about political reforms in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan. It discusses the history of FATA's governance under British colonial rule and its continuation after independence. It notes the high levels of militancy and presence of al-Qaeda and Taliban in FATA. Recent political reforms aim to introduce mainstream political activities, but their implementation faces issues. The document explores questions around how various stakeholders may react and whether the reforms can help end the current militancy in the region.

Two States Created in Name of Religion by classes not really religious !
Does the Pakistani liberal Exist
Does the Pakistani liberal Exist ?
An explanation why misuse of religion by so called liberal Indo Pak Muslims made Pakistan the most dangerous place in the world.
So called secular Muslims of Indo Pak were speraheads of creation of separate Muslim majority state of India as they wanted political powers , and jobs and to monopolise the business and finance.
While the so called fundamentalist Muslims who we now call extremists were in favour of living with non Muslims in a united India !
As a matter of fact Islamic Party leader Maududi dismissed Pakistans war with India in 1947-48 as a war that cannot be termed as a Jihad.
This is very similar to case of Israel where secular Jews or Zionists wanted a separate Jewish state whereas the orthodox Jews were opposed to a Jewish state.
After all the aim of creation of a state is not religion at all ,a lthough religion may be used as like a condom to achieve an end as in case of both Pakistan and Israel !
The real aim of creation of both states was patronage and domination over jobs, business and political power and this was successfully achieved by both Muslim classes in Pakistan and Jews in Israel , both of whom were not really interested in actual essence of Islam or Judaism !
A great British author Prof Francis Robinson brilliantly researched this thesis in his magnum bonum “ Separatism among Indian Muslims” while another brilliant US professor David Lelyveld brilliantly researched the same theme in “Aligarh –The First Generation”.
As my grandfathers both paternal and maternal belong to this so called secular generation who wanted Pakistan , I can perfectly understand this !
And the net result since both Pakistan and Israel were created in name of religion whith which they had little real connection , both are destabilizing factors , and to make it more difficult both are nuclear weapon armed states !
Both were created with British support or American support and both are now biggest headaches today for the USA.But the USA cannot do anything about it !

Misuse of Islam by westernised Muslim elite to achieve petty and narrow political and class agendas laid the foundation of Muslim extremism in India and Pakistan after 1947
The document discusses the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It argues that the Taliban are not a product of Pashtun nationalism but rather a specific interpretation of Islam. It traces the roots of the Taliban to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, when Pakistan and the US supported militant groups like the mujahideen. After the Soviets withdrew, these groups battled each other and the Taliban rose to power in the 1990s with support from Pakistan. The 9/11 attacks caused the US to work with Pakistan against the Taliban. This led to insurgencies by groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan in the Pashtun areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. While some Pasht
Struggle for Rights and Reforms in Pakistan Tribal Areas (Nov 2014 Report)fatanews
Link: http://bit.ly/fatareport | As Printed in the November 2014 Report: FATA Faces FATA Voices.
Shackled for more than one hundred years under an outdated British law, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan has been plagued by instability extending well beyond its colonial-era border with Afghanistan. Excluded from essential provisions of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the tribal areas are administered through a legal and administrative regulation known as the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR), originally imposed in 1901. No act of the Parliament of Pakistan applies to FATA unless extended by special orders from the President of Pakistan. Furthermore and despite the continuous struggle of the people there, FATA enjoys no elected representation at local or provincial levels, and until 1996 tribal citizens had no universal voting rights in elections for the National Assembly of Pakistan.
The document summarizes the history of Afghanistan from the late 19th century to the rise of the Taliban in the late 20th century. It outlines how Abdul Rahman established the foundations of modern Afghanistan in the late 1800s, and the periods of instability, reforms, and foreign influence that followed. It then discusses the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, communist influence during the Cold War, and the power vacuum that allowed the Taliban to take control in the 1990s after the Soviet withdrawal.
The document discusses using Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's Predictioneer's Game model to predict the outcome of the separate statehood demand for Telangana. It provides background on the model and lists possible solutions. Stakeholders in the Telangana issue are identified and their positions, influence, focus, flexibility, and other attributes are scored. Running the model 3 times under different flexibility assumptions predicts either separate Telangana statehood within 5 years or a compromise of separate Telangana and Andhra states that share Hyderabad as their capital. The analysis indicates harder stakeholder positions would be needed to change the predicted outcomes.
The document discusses using Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's Predictioneer's Game model to predict the outcome of the separate statehood demand for Telangana. It provides background on the model and lists possible solutions. Stakeholders in the Telangana issue are identified and their positions, influence, focus, flexibility, and other attributes are scored. Running the model under different assumptions predicts either the creation of a separate Telangana state within the next 5 years or having Hyderabad as a common capital of Telangana and Seemandhra states. The analysis indicates a separate Telangana state is predicted if pro-Telangana positions are inflexible while opposition shows flexibility.
The document discusses different groups within India's elite and their interactions with foreign powers. It defines various types of Indian elites that emerged from British colonial rule, including those with a "Macaulayized mind" focused on Western ideas and those who are "deracinated" from Indian culture. It also examines the spread of modernist and positivist thinking among elites. The document notes that before 1998, the US primarily engaged with internationalist and left-leaning Indian groups, but afterward began interacting more with traditional Indian groups to discuss India's role in relation to Pakistan, China, and the world. Diagrams show the connections between Indian elites and external powers like the West, Islamic nations, and China.
This document provides an overview of key political events and issues in Pakistan between 2007-2008. It discusses the Nazariya-e-Pakistan ideology, the FATA war against militants, the Baloch civil war, terrorist groups operating in Pakistan like the Taliban, MQM, and historical geopolitical influences. It also covers the Indian role in Afghanistan, the Mumbai terrorist attacks, and the major economic crisis facing Pakistan.
The document discusses the rise of modern Islamism and Arab nationalism as responses to Western influence in the Middle East. It traces the development of Arab nationalism from the 19th century as a secular ideology focused on Arab unity and independence. Islamic fundamentalism also emerged in the 20th century through movements like the Muslim Brotherhood and Deobandi movement, seeking to establish Islamic states governed by sharia law. Key events like the Afghan jihad against the Soviet Union and the decline of secular Arab nationalist governments contributed to the rise of political Islamism in the late 20th century.
This document provides a short biography and tribute for KS Subrahmanyam. It lists his career highlights including positions at the Ministry of Defence, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, and roles advising the UN and Indian government. The tribute honors his clear vision for India, fostering strategic thinking, and accomplishments including influencing India's nuclear posture, intervention in East Pakistan, and the Indo-US civil nuclear deal. He is described as having an ambitious vision for India in 1968 and being very erudite, approachable, and willing to teach.

The document discusses ballistic glide re-entry vehicles (BGRVs) and India's missile program. It describes what a BGRV is, its advantages over traditional ballistic missiles like improved accuracy and ability to evade anti-ballistic missile defenses. It provides details on India's Shourya/Sagarika hypersonic BGRV missile and the Agni missile family. It also discusses how BGRVs are well-suited for India's security needs like targeting hardened sites with small, accurate warheads.

in Baluchistan (Shia)
• Psy-op to increase Afghani demand to incorporate Pushtun
region across Durand line in FATA area
• Before TSP pulls on India a two front war, Pakistan should be
militarily engaged on three fronts:
1. Baluchistan front (Iran and another country providing support)
2. Northern Alliance (hitting TSP targets)
3. Indian front

Nazariya-e-Pakistan (N-e-P)
Ideology of Pakistan
Ideology of Pakistan:
Fabricate legitimacy to illegitimate state
Slogan first coined by Gen. Sher Ali Khan, Information Minister
and former Chief of Staff of Pakistan Army
"Pakistan ka matlab kya, La ilaha illallah” :{What does Pakistan
mean, there is no God but God!}
Pakistan’s Raison d'être: No longer refuge for ‘Muslim kaum’ in the
tyranny of Hindu dominated India.
Genocide in Bangladesh, and Baluchistan not withstanding
New goal is to establish Global Islamic Caliphate
Term was also adopted by Maulana Maududi and his party
Jamaat-e-Islami(J-e-I)
Gen Yahya Khan wanted to crush Bengali Nationalism while J-
e-I included will to crush Sindh and Baloch nationalism.
Gen. Yahya Khan and Maududi came together and laid foundations
for TSPA and Deobandi branch of Islam.

Nazariya-e-Pakistan
Ideology of Pakistan. (Continued …)
After 1971 Zulifikar Ali Bhutto was forced to Islamize at frantic
pace, to not lose space to Islamists.
The massive defeat in 1971 and the ascendency of J-e-I led to the
Army assume role of “Guardian of Islam.”
Gen Zia coming to power led to consolidating the N-e-P concept
through wholesale changes to textbooks and complete rewriting
of fabricated history
Deobandi J-e-I and Salafist Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supported the
transformation
TSP army is has grown senior from Zia’s days to increase
radical (non-Salafist) fervor in Deobandi core and current officer
crop from old on its last leg of Deobandi office.
For ISI it is more easy to control Deobandi ulema compared to
Salafi ulema
13. 06/14/13 13
Nazariya-e-Pakistan
Understanding the terms
Early Islam institution:
Caliph (is head of Army)
Mukabarat (answerable to Caliph)
Ulema:: explain here
Zawabit: Ziauddin Barani wrote “The king must rule” i.e rulership
is in hnds of the ruler and not the ulema.
Deobandi and JeM are Ulema of ISI
Deoband ar now more extremist Islamists
Salafi will never replace Deobandi in heartlands of Pakistan
N-e-P is an attempt to inculcate among the Pakistani masses the
habit of looking at India through the prism of Deobandi variety of Islam
14. 06/14/13 14
Nazariya-e-Pakistan
Understanding the termsDeoband and Salafism
Similarity
Rigid extreme form of Islam
Deoband has recently acquired ethnic racism and harder Islamist overtones
Contrasts
1. Deoband : Pakistan centric,
2. Salafi: Wherever the KSA money flows
3. Deoband is a religious movement that grew strength out of political
movement
4. Salafism is a political movement that grew strength out of pseudo
religious movement, with racial overtones (KSA)
ISI
ISI should not be viewed as an Intelligence Agency
ISI is a modified version of Islamic institution of “Mukhbarat” from early
Islam, that penetrates every facet of Pakistani life.
ISI is a mixture of ‘Mukhbarat’ and ‘Khalifa’
ISI is core of ‘New Islamic Caliphate’ (kingdom/empire)
Long term goal to create Islamic Caliphate from Delhi to Chechnya with
Islamabad as capital
15. 06/14/13 15
Nazariya-e-Pakistan
(N-e-P) (Continued …)
The massive defeat in 1971 and secession of East Pakistan led to a
rethink of the idea that Pakistan was the guardian of Islam
They wanted to assume a more radical role of “Guardian of Islam” in
context of Indian Sub-continent as their existence was under threat at
that time and India was the enemy.
Fears of further secessions of Sindh or Balochistan
N-e-P was designed as an alternative to the cry “Islam is in danger” or
“Islam khatre main hain!”
At the very basic level N-e-P is a social re-engineering similar to Nazi
attempts to remake Germany
16. 06/14/13 16
Indian Perception of Pakistan
Two nation theory aka Partition theory
Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations and need two states.
Policy with an eye on Indian Muslim population
Ignores the various schisms and factions in Pakistan
More importantly ignores Pakistani self perception which is “Not
Indian”
Pakistan was never wanted to be equal to India but
superior to India in every which way
When Indians say “they are like us only” it negates the self
image of Pakistanis and hurts
There is nothing that Indians can do to assuage the Pakistani self image at this time

Fault lines in Pakistan
Ethno-Regional
Punjab, Sindh, NWFP, & Balochistan
How India takes advantage: Baluchistan, increase
relationship w/Iran, and not succumb to US interest.
Baluach is Shia nation: Indian press should call it Balauchi
Nation, in all press reports.
NWFP : India has squandered the legacy of Frontier
Gandhi
Political, Economic, Water
Indus river treaty should be reviewed every 3 month
Contigent on Pakitan’s good behavior
Religious
Sunni vs Shia, Ahmediya, Christian & Hindu
Relationship w/Iran will take care of Shia part

Pakiban
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)
Sunni (salafi/wahhabi/Deobandi) Taliban organization, normally opposed
to Barelvis
Emerged in the FATA areas of NWFP in 2007
About 40 local Taliban leaders announced the formation of TTP on Dec.
14, 2007 to centralize their command.
Amir - Baitullah Mehsud (of South Waziristan), appointed by Mullah Omar
First Naib Amir - Maulana Hafiz Gul Bahadur of North Waziristan.
Second Naib Emir - Faqir Mohammed of Bajaur
Spokesperson - Maulvi Umar
Has a shura (consultative committee) of 40 senior Taliban leaders from
the entire NWFP area (including FATA and Settled Areas)
Aim:To establish an Emirate, to enforce Sharia, to unite against the
NATO forces in Afghanistan and defeat them just as they did against
another superpower USSR, and do defensive jihad against the Pakistan
Army if it comes in the way.
20. 06/14/13 20
Rise of Pakiban
Its very clear that the border areas/NWFP (which was
created by Lord Curzon incidentally) are getting
fundamentalized / Talibanised.
A corridor is being formed with its writ on west bank of
Indus.
Add to that the recent reports of Karachi and Talibanization
of Sindh all these are portends of the coming fractures of
TSP if not de jure.

Pakiban Civil Wars
The Bangash tribesmen who are massacring the Shi'a are part of the Karlani group of
tribes, one of whose constituents is the Mehsuds as well.
• The Shi'a stand no chance at all, because they are not getting equivalent or superior weaponry, that Iran or other
country could supply, though they are getting Hazara fighters from Afghanistan.
Very soon, the Shi'a-Sunni of FATA will engulf Pakistan.
Recent reports speak of SSP (Sipah Saheba-e-Pakistan, the most militant Sunni organization)
becoming very active in Karachi and in return the Shi'a Sipah-e-Muhammed (known by various
names such as Tehreek Jaffria Pakistan & Islami Tehreek-e-Pakistan) have become active as
well.
At the same time, another war is also going on in FATA between the Barelvis and the
Deobandi/Wahhabi groups.
The Sunni Tehreek (ST, a member of Al Qaeda's International Islamic Front, IIF) has its hands
full against many warlords in FATA. That's the problem for the Taliban and Al Qaeda. They have
many warring groups within the fold. Again the Arabic saying: Me against my brothers, me and
my brothers against our father, me, my brothers and my father against our cousins . . .
A Pasthun is at peace, when he is at war!

Mohajir Quami Movement
Altaf Hussain formed All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organization
(APMSO) in 1978 in Karachi
Formed Mohajir( Refugee) Quami Movement (MQM) in 1984 in
Karachi. Name changed to Muttahida (United) Quami Movement in
1997 to counter allegations of being a refugee interests party.
Allied with Benazir Bhutto’s PPP in 1988
Crackdown by Pakistan Army in 1992 led to Altaf Hussain’s exile to
London
MQM represents émigrés from all over India who are tied by language
of Urdu and do not form part of the elite ruling groups

34. 06/14/13 34
Indian Role in Afghanistan
India always was interested in Afghanistan
Before 9/11 supported Ahmed Shah Masood and his Northern Alliance
Supported the Hamid Karzai govt. – All future aid should be disbursed to NA
element to be the Indian buffer
Reopened the consulates in Jalalabad, Peshawar
Indian Embassy building bombed. Most likely ISI supported terrorists
Built the road from Zaranj to Kabul providing the alternate land route to one
controlled by Taliban
Built the power grid to supply power from Tajikistan
Assistance ~ $1Billion and is the largest amount outside US.
Stable Afghanistan is a national security interest of India, but beyond Indian
powers
Un-stable Afghanistan with strong NA, is also of long term national security
interest of India, regadless of stabelity in Afganistan. A more achievable and
realistic goal.

• Truncates Pakistan
• Splits Pashtun areas and Baluchistan
• Keeps Sind and Karachi with Pakjab

Even Keeps Sindh and Pakjab together

Indian Claims in 1947

42. 06/14/13 42
Indian Perspective
The loss of Kandahar by Akbar in 1588 was the death blow of the
Mughals as they were finished in less than 150 years after that.
The frontier areas were allowed to go under Persian influence and led to
the Durranis taking over Afghanistan with severe consequences to
mainland India.
Ranjit Singh created the buffer state and the English got hold of those
areas after the Anglo-Sikh Wars. Durand line was created after the Anglo-
Afghan wars and formalized the de-facto buffer created due to Ranjit
Singh's efforts.
To support Pashtun recovery of Durand line will bring the frontier back to
the outer rim of Indian core lands.
Pashtuns should be satisfied with what they have.
Another argument is the Sarkari Pashtuns on the eastern side of Durand
lines are the tribes that sided with Aurangazeb and being the successor
state it is India that should look out for them eventually.
Frontier Gandhi's debt has to be repaid. He was let down badly as we
didn’t understand nor had the capability to support him in 1947.

Afghanistan in Pak sights
The top priority of US for next two administrations will be war in
Afghanistan
Future of NATO
Containment strategy towards Russia
Grand ideas like unilateralism and war as diplomatic tool
Pakistan has realized that if it chooses it can make matters worse for
the US in Afghanistan
NATO jugular in Pak grip
TSP troops in border areas keep the Taliban in check at same time
keeps the US from retaliating
75% of all supplies through TSP
US unwilling and unable to use Russian or Iranian route for supplies
More SF ops in borderlands is invitation to future disaster

45. 06/14/13 45
Radicalization of TSP society
If you watch TSP channels one sees that there is a de-facto separation
in the TSP society also.
What I mean for example, there are two cooking channels on GEO TV
both hosted by women- One is a modern type but dressed in Indian
attire, the other is an Islamist with head covered. So they cater to
different segments of the society. The curious thing is they both make
Continental dishes!
And the music shows have two streams- pop and sufi type. So there is
a fundamental schism underway in TSP on fundamentalist lines
Regular news reports of schools, beauty shops closed
47. 06/14/13 47
Future Trajectory of Pakistan
• As Pakistan society gradually transforms from Deobandi to Wahabi
form:
• An accelerated social engineering change which breaks a millennium
of continuity to Indian civilization is underway
• The object is to create a demographic mass which is Wahab/Salafist
and will have far reaching impact on India and global Islam
48. 06/14/13 48
Conclusions
The rise of Pakiban is erasing the Durand line. What
we are seeing is the gradual failure of two states- TSP
and Afghanistan.
Afghanistan elections and US allegations of fraud have
weakened Karzai.
If the Taliban come to power and return to old ways it
will lead to a default Northern Alliance Tajik leadership
which will unite all Pashtuns (sarkari and non-sarkari,
Ghilzai and Durrani)) under the Taliban black flag.
So any way one looks at it 2010 is critical year for that
area.
49. 06/14/13 49
Alternate Prognosis
The new elite in Islamabad must realize, that an ideological
necessity no longer exists for the continuance of military rule
They need to let the kabila guards go and allow the society to
settle down and be at peace with itself and its neighbors.
There is also no reason why Balochs, Sindhis and Pashtuns
should not have greater autonomy
Nazariya-e-Pakistan is not realistic
Even during the pre-Mughal era the Turks and Afghans fought
each other
Pakistan must repeal its law declaring Ahmadiyas as non-
Muslims, and give more freedom to Christians and Hindus.
The new elite should envision a new concept of how Pakistan
should look like in future and abandon the “Not India” vision

Editor's Notes
Too cluttered. Why the big fat arrow Iran to TSP and TSP to China? I added political aspect of TSP in Somalia and Sri Lanka
So who created the term? Sher Ali Khan or Maududi? Please explain what message we are tying to convey with the last 2 bullet lines: Gen Yahya Khan wanted to crush Bengali Nationalism while JeI included Sindh and Baloch nationalism. Gen. Yahya Khan and Maududi came together and laid foundations for TSPA and Deobandi branch of Islam.
