Title An Attempt to Re-imagine Pashtun Nationalism in Pakistan
Summary This paper aims to critically assess ethno-national dominance of Punjab in Pakistan, and its spill over effects on security and socio-economic disparity among Pashtuns. In assessing the question this paper counters Andreas Wimmer’s argument to showcase shifts from inclusive to more exclusive official identity of Pakistan, this paper will be divided into three main chapters. Chapter One will highlight state construction of Pakistan based on religious ideology and the minority treatment meted out to Pashtuns. Chapter Two will discuss Pakistan’s identity politics along dominant majority and trans-border nationalism, and its security implication. Chapter Three will highlight economic inequality paradigm; Chapter Four will conclude the paper.
