Peace is Possible
By: Salman Ali

Intro: Peace is Possible

Text,
Let me briefly go over the background so that audience can get a in a historical perspective of Sindh as its an ancient province whose civilization stretches back to the earliest human settlements. The ancient Sindhi people embraced a peaceful way of life. Mohenjo-Daro, a city that flourished in 2600 B.C., showed advanced city planning and well developed arts, yet an absence of even basic military fortifications and weapons.
The rural areas of Sindh are still in the clutches of the grove problem like increasing law and order situation, poverty, lack of basic amenities, safe drinking water, poor sanitation system, moribund health facilities, food insecurity, agriculture backwardness and most important uncompetitive education system. All these crises and issues exacerbate rural and urban disparities and increase their suspicion about the denied of their fundamental rights. Actually, the problem is the wadera and landlord system still prevalent in the province. These people are so much into corruption that they don't see any purpose of being in the government besides minting money from any source possible.
The news about the scores of people killed into feudal fights is in interior Sindh and unfortunately it’s the matter of every day. It is indeed strange and hard fact to digest that how the land that is sown with the seed of tolerance, love, respect, religious, social, and cultural harmony by the Mystics like Shah Abdul Latif, Sachhal,Sami and Shah Inayat , can fall into vicious cycle of tribal conflicts coupled with hatred and social disharmony. But, sorrily, it is reality. However, while exploring the facts behind such unwanted face of peace full Sindh one comes to know that such façade of beautiful and peaceful Sindh is altogether fabricated by few state and societal level elements in order to meet their few obnoxious desires. Otherwise, nothing like “tribes” exists into Sindh in reality. Rulers

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    A Separate Peace

    There are many well-known themes in the book A Separate Peace. One of the most themes is a coming of age for the boys who live and learn at Devon school. For some boys at this school, a coming of age means more opportunities, and for some others, means a chance to go from being a boy, to becoming a man. A large contradiction in this book is innocence vs. ignorance. For some boys the innocence will be destroyed in order for a coming of age to take place. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, growing up at Devon school means that each and every boy will be faced with a simple decision, kill off your innocence, or let it destroy you, physically and/or mentally.…

    Kohistani History

    To reach Thull, a Kohistani community that is found in the mountains near the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, you have to make a hazarding trip on an endless dirt road that is unattainable in bad weather. The Kohistani are inherently a violent people who strongly believe in vengeance and had most of their fighting take place between descent groups. For the most part conflict was handled by local leaders, and there was usually no fatal accident due to a lack of fatal weapons. The lack of guns was due to the lack of roads that limited economic development, which limited the amount of money a person could amass. However, when Pakistan took charge in 1965, a number of social and economic developments took place. The roads that were installed made it possible for Thull to be linked to other parts of Pakistan. Included with the overwhelming amount of changes that followed, Kohistani violence evolved due to the outside impression that all started because of the roads. By the way that Kohistani violence and other facets of their culture changed when the roads were introduced, it shows how interconnected everything is. The introduction of the road demonstrated how culture is integrated by the way it altered subsistence strategies, increased violence, and brought innovative ideas to religion.…

    In life we often deny the truth even if we’re in the wrong, because accepting that someone else may be right is much worse than denial. My mom is always right. Sometimes I try to outsmart her, because I can’t face the fact that I’m wrong and she’s correct. At times Finny has a hard time in accepting the painful truth in the novel, whether it be from misunderstanding or denial. Finny, in A Separate Peace, has a flaw of acceptance when conveyed with the painful truth that contributes to the reader’s positive perception of him.…

    The Northeast India , known as much for the multiple insurgent groups that infests it as for its natural beauty, refers to the easternmost region of India, which is ethnically distinct from the other states of India. Indeed, not less than 98 per cent of its land borders are with other nations. A bare two per cent is India’s share . Therefore, it is not surprising that the people and communities there feel alienated and very distant, not just from political centre, Delhi, but also from the rest of the country. The feeble connection between the mainland political centre and the Northeast further accentuates this alienation and leads to the construction of…

    For achievement of peace and stability we need to address the huge gap between haves and have not’s. Firstly socially, there seems to be a huge gap between the different classes within the country. A large majority when sees a small minority enjoying a very luxurious life style they naturally rebel and resort to unlawful activities to become rich overnight. We can say this is a poor vs. rich tension, which disturbs the peace of society in various ways such as crime and law breaking. Secondly, politically, in Karachi different political parties have armed wings. Karachi being the biggest city has greater influence. Respective political leaders protect crimes of members of these gangs. While political leaders are enjoyingi government position at the same time they are patronizing criminals, murderers, target killers, extortionists and land grabbers. Thirdly, economically, Karachi being port city and major economic hub affects Pakistan. One day of strike and unrest in Karachi costs billion of rupees to national exchequer. Lastly, on the administrative side, law enforcement agencies are plagued by corruption. They…

    DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE

    In its bare essentials, the state has to be not only efficient and progressive economically, just and harmonious socially, democratic and participatory politically, friendly and prudent ecologically, aesthetic and functional spatially, but also civil and sustainable systemically. In this light, one can envision Punjab eventually as a region which is sub-urban, displaying a continuum of rural and urban, agriculture and non-agriculture, with a hierarchy of settlements interlinked by a free-flowing transport network; thereby serving as a stage for what is envisioned. Herein, symbolically, the role of a development architect, social scientist and a professional practitioner gets entwined. Things would have been easy if Punjab were a clean slate to work on. Certainly it is not. This poses a real challenge. The evolved scene has to be redesigned and reconstructed rather than being built anew.…

    Building Peace

    • 1074 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Building Peace is divided into two parts. Part one is an introduction to understanding contemporary armed conflict including defining current conflicts as identitybased and locating them more internally (intra-state) than internationally, with diffuse power and weakened central authority characteristics. Conflicts are protracted because they become lodged in long-standing relationships and are characterised by social-psychological perceptions, emotions, and subjective and cultural experiences. International and traditional diplomacy alone is deemed inadequate for dealing with the root causes of conflicts as such interventions involve authority figures and empowers few people only, largely encourages military capacities, solutions are sought within a framework of compromise, and the focus tends to be on substantive issues of territory and governance only and not necessarily on building relationships and addressing the socio-psychological issues that render conflicts intractable.…
