We have organized against evictions of working class households in Islamabad since 1999. The Pakistani state & CDA in particular, have always employed the language of violence to deal with katchi abadis. But the present regime is unhinged in a way we have never seen before. 1/n

Delighted to be co-convening a training workshop for graduate students and early-career scholars on writing regional histories! While the workshop is primarily designed for historians, we warmly welcome participants from other disciplines whose work resonates with the theme. Our aim is to rethink the region or locale as a central unit of historical analysis for a more intimate understanding of the past and to explore its richness and complexities beyond the frame of national or state-centric narratives. The workshop will be led by an inspiring mix of young and senior scholars, including Ilyas Chattha, Abdul Aijaz, Saman Tariq, and Shandana Waheed. It promises to be an excellent learning opportunity, so don’t miss out, apply now!

@MaryamShKhan Yes Pashtuns migrated there mostly because of the war on terror(most of which settled there now) and Humeira Iqtidar beautifully described their experiences in Lahore as how they are producing alternative narratives to citizenship and belongings in lahore. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

A wonderful piece from 2016 on multi-regional Pashtun communities living and/or working in the old Walled City of Lahore. Some estimate the total current migrant Pashtun population of Lahore to be 2.5 million+. Our census doesn't capture migration patterns tanqeed.org/2016/01/pashtu…

I see many tweets about how Karachi is much more diverse than Lahore. I used to think so too, till I stepped out of my bubble. Lahore would not be Lahore without its enormous diversity. Much of its economy is run by non-Punjabis. Not to mention it is the hub of education migrants

Before the advent of the internet, sending Eid greetings to friends and family was a special tradition, and one popular way to do so was through postcards. I'm sharing an old "Eid Mubarak" postcard that features the renowned Indian classical singer, Kajjan Bai, from Patna, Bihar.

@_SophieSchol You can find a list of notable works being done on Pashtun's historiography. Though some of books/articles connect with what you have asked but not all of them. My own thesis is on PTM, if interested, shot me a mail at abidalimn121@gmail.com acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc…

Any credible books to read on the historical context and evolution of the current Pashtun Movement? The more recent, the better.

Who are your favorite social scientists on Pakistan? Especially with reference to the period of decolonization and the first decade.
