Pakistan: A Political History]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Political developments in Pakistan continue to be marred by provincial jealousies and, in particular, by the deep resentments in the smaller provinces of Sind, Baluchistan, and the North-West Frontier Province against what is seen to be a monopoly by the Punjabi majority of the benefits of power, profit, and patronage. The demand for a "Pakistan" was Jinnah's and the League's bid to register their claim to be the spokesmen of all Indian Muslims, both in provinces were they were in a majority as well as in provinces where they were a minority. Pakistan was now involved in its third war with India, thus clearing the way for the establishment of Bangladesh in 1971. www.askasia.org /teachers/Instructional_Resources/Materials/Readings/India/R_india_11.htm   (4535 words)

The manner in which Pakistan's armed forces disowned both the operation and the level of the insurgency shows the military is fully aware that the situation is out of control.

Pakistan Link - Letter & Opinion The main problem with the current demarcation of the provinces in Pakistan is that it legitimizes ethnic divisions in the country, and hinders the forging of a national identity. I lived in Pakistan during the days of One Unit and distinctly remember that a sense of oneness had begun to emerge in West Pakistan, in spite of the hue and cry from provincial-minded politicians who were distressed at the break-up of their little empires. A setup where sixty per cent of the population lives in one province is unwieldy, and is bound to raise feelings of insecurity in the smaller provinces (in contrast, the population of California, the largest state of the USA, is only fifteen per cent of the country’s population). www.pakistanlink.com /Opinion/2002/May/24/01.html   (841 words)

Asia Times: Pakistan benefits from Afghan rugs Trade has become so robust that although the Pakistan government is actively seeking the repatriation of Afghan refugees, it has decided to exempt Afghans artisans from deportation, and issue special permits so that they are not harassed by the police or expelled.

By 1999-2000 the province was exporting $92.38 million worth of carpets, and the figure jumped to $130 million dollars in the current fiscal year. www.atimes.com /ind-pak/CH04Df01.html   (594 words)

AllRefer.com - Pakistan - Historical Setting in Pakistan | Pakistani Information Resource Pakistan was later the entryway for the migrating pastoral tribes known as Indo-Aryans, or simply Aryans, who brought with them and developed the rudiments of the religio-philosophical system of what later evolved into Hinduism. Sikhism, another religious movement that arose partially on the soil of present-day Pakistan, was briefly dominant in Punjab and in the northwest in the early nineteenth century.
