Political Violence

The various terrorist gatherings working in Pakistan have had a tendency to can be categorized as one of the five classifications laid out by Ashley J. Tellis, a senior partner at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in a January 2008 Congressional affirmation: Partisan: Religiously propelled gatherings, for example, the Sunni Sipah-e-Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and the Shia Tehrik-e-Jafria that are occupied with savagery

Most violent acts committed in modern times are seen as unthinkable and heinous. Today’s culture appears to be at its most serene and peaceful. However, this may not be true. Today’s culture is still one of extreme violence and is comparable to some of history’s most horrific times. Over the course of history, violence in culture has been in fluctuation but has always been considerably aggressive. Modern violent culture is comparable to history’s as society’s forms of entertainment are still violent, racial, domestic, and religious. Disputes still occur and lastly, war and cruel punishments still exist in the world. Fortunately, there is hope as violence, although still existing, seems to be improving and slowly diminishing.

Modern day Pakistan’s land has traditionally been Muslim for many years. In the early nineteenth century it was ruled by Britain and considered part of the British Indian Empire. In 1947, a partition was granted from the British, and Pakistan and India were created as their own countries. As the previous British Empire divided,

Violence is one of the most personal and intimate acts between human beings, but it can also be cultural and societal in its implications.

The arrival of the Taliban brought a dramatic change to the region. They set up a radio broadcast and started telling people to burn their books, their CD's and DVD's, to keep the girls away from schools and follow a misguided interpretation of what Islam should be. Pakistan was very affected by a big earthquake, huge floods and other natural disasters so many people thought that they were punished by God and listened to the

In India, the notions of the people specifically the non-Muslim are of the view that Muslim are not non-violent entities. Such pre-conceived animosity regarding the Muslim community by the non-Muslims, have a prolonged history in India. This notion was prevalent because during the colonial rule, the British, were very much successful in creating a division between Hindus and Muslims. Divisions led to clashes between the Muslim and non- Muslim particularly the Hindu community. This gave birth to the creation of Pakistan, a separate state for the Muslim people where those people can carry on their administration freely, efficiently and in a well-organised pattern as per Islamic

This is mainly because the proponent would use religion as a political tool; thus, all decision making process are not based on the voice of majority and for the people’s interests, rather to the will of its leader. Pakistan is an example of how religion is “part and parcel” of the state. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan adopt Islamic law its constitution and judiciary; further, scientific explanation also drag in religion (ibid). As a result, fundamentalist movements finds its safe haven in the country that has been politically conflicted in many decades. Fundamentalist movements seek radical transformation based on beliefs that substantially contradict the myths under which prevailing political institutions legitimize their

On the 22nd of the September of 2013,Pakistan witnessed the most vicious incident of sectarian

The larger spectrum manifestation of this behavior can be clearly seen in our political behavior for last 67 years. It had long been common phenomenon to call each other “security risk” or “traitor”. “Cut-throat politics” well explains the irony of Pakistani politics. Accusations followed by revolts, processions and insurrections have never allowed political stability in the country. Political instability is continuous with economic instability in itself. Further spoilage has resulted when the virus of “Self righteousness” has been transmitted from leaders to the worker at grass root level in recent politics. Character assassination, disgraceful

Media has become a powerful source of knowledge, and a great breakthrough in human history. Who can regret that media is a daily need in our lives. Media has the ability and control to adjust to all levels of knowledge in people. Media helps us to escape from our daily lives and our problems in times of stress. Thou Media as proved to be beneficial by educating, entertaining and informing us, it has also have its downfall, to cause many bad influences to the younger audience. Media has influenced us to conduct bad behavior, breed violence among teens and fear to the public, thus causing a lot of negative conflicts among ourselves. Television, Music, Internet, and more, are just some of the media exposure that needs to be censored and

It can be challenging to adequately explain why political violence occurs, but several political scientists have created theoretical explanations to help in the process. These explanations include the relative deprivation theory, cultural explanations, structural or institutional explanations, and primordialism. I personally believe that relative deprivation offers the most leverage in explaining why political violence occurs because it takes into account the variance of political violence and shared characteristics across human nature.

This caused great tragedy as it was assigned that the Muslims will have their own country, Pakistan and the Hindus will have theirs, India(mrdowling.com). The different ideologies separated the two and caused hatred towards one another; the society that formed from this was a common hatred that united each individual nation and with that came a theocratic government for Pakistan (mrdowling.com). This system of government later shaped the society of new born country, Pakistan.

The article “Do Ahmadis deserve to live in Pakistan?” by Yasser Latif Hamdani was published in the Friday Times on 31st August 2012. Yasser Latif Hamdani was born on 5 June, 1980. He is a lawyer by profession and is also a writer based in Lahore, Pakistan. He is a regular writer of articles for the Daily Times Pakistan, The Friday Times, and Express Times. He is known for supporting and demanding the basic rights of Ahmadis. He is a vocal supporter of Ahmadis and has been vying for their rights through his writings. He has written against the growing violence and injustice against Ahmadis on several occasions. The article under consideration was published in the Friday Times on August 31, 2012. This article is of importance because the ethnic violence has increased in recent times. The recent clashes and tension between Ahmadis and Muslim communities have also increased alarmingly. Thus his choice of situation is right. The targeted audience here is the Pakistani community and the leaders of these anti-Ahmadi groups. Since this is a newspaper article, and that too an English language newspaper, the audience will be restricted somewhat as only those who read this newspaper or those who understand English will be able to read it. The author mentions the killing, abductions and murder attempts on Ahmadis especially the one that occurred in 2009. Although the writer presents his point of view effectively by using simple vocabulary, good examples and comparison however, he is

According to history England’s condition were worse than those prevailing in Pakistan. The Roman Catholics and Protestants abused each other. There were some states in which bars impose biased decisions on a particular class depending on majority; with the passage of time they faced realities of the situation and government ceased fire of arrogance between The Roman Catholics and Protestants. Today Pakistan is facing the similar crisis they have disjunction between minority and majority communities, minorities are bounded to follow the rules and regulations owned by the state which are almost according to majority. Now I think we should keep England as model and cease the disjunction between minority and majority; keep Pakistan as a whole state, because religion is the personal faith of each individual.

The creation of Pakistan contained the germs of discord between "West Pakistanis" and Bangalis. Initially, the population of East Bengal supported the creation of
