Adam, I agreed and no I didnt mean punjabi nationalism means Pakistani nationalism or anyone needs to prove his loyalty.

ANP had a history of blaming every ill in NWFP to Punjab. As being the biggest in population the punjabis (nationalists or fedralists -- both so intermixed there) are always the major players in formation of national governments. Their acceptance of ANP leader who used to go after them would not be easy, nor does Asfand Yar wali be trusted to forget his anti punjabi nationalist stand overnight.

Khan sahab would rather take the frontier then Islamabad as his last conference with Zardari is hinting. The ANP provincial government will change the name of province to Pakhtoonkhua and counter insurgency by setting up jirgas which would be accepted by all with no issue. Hence they have more chances to fulfill promises to the pakhtoon voters voted for them.

This seems like an important idea (which may not ultimately work out). It is also genuinely offered. Manto openly acknowledges that working with ANP will be a bitter pill for Pakistani nationalists. If ANP leaders too are willing to go halfway, and swallow their own bitter pill, something 'good' may happen from the points of view of both Pakistani nationalists and ANP secularists (although, as I argue toward the end, the gain for ANP will be negligible, possible even negative).

adamkhan, if you consider yourselves a Pakistani (and not primarily a Pushtoon), then as a secularist, you really have no evident choice but to adopt Manto's Jinnah-based framework. Whether you agree with that historical framework or not seems immaterial. There is no other potent secularist engine (as far as I know). Whatever you (and I) might think of Badshah Khan and his ANP, they had and have no political future in Pakistan as a whole, probably not even among Islamically minded Pushtoons. It also serves no purpose to get stuck on the idea that the taliban/Islamically minded Pushtoons were strengthened by Pakistani nationalists themselves - whether they be Punjabis, Sindhis, or Mohajirs - against ANP itself.

That is where Zulfi Bhutto model might come in. Whatever his own relationship vis-a-vis Sindhis, ZAB established himself as a Pakistani nationalist. True, that was much easier, natural for him because he saw himself in grand and global Islamic terms - the very anti-thesis of ANP mindset.

To put one's doubts up front and center, I do not think ANP itself will get anything positive by turning its people into a bunch of Pakistani nationalists, or even by cooperating with Pakistani nationalists. Yet if they think of themselves as Pakistanis, then that is something they must do for Pakistan, their nation. My cynical analysis is that at the end of the day, if other secularist and nationalist Pakistanis are lucky, Pushtoon Islamists (taliban?) and Pushtoon secularist (ANP, nationalists) would have destroyed/weakened each other, in serial order, and the rest of non-talibani Pakistan would come out the winner, settling down as an Islamic, but not talibani nation that retains its centripetal forces but also offers some (necessarily quite limited) accommodation to regional aspirations.

ANP, as we have known it, will then cease to exist. Yet, in helping control Pushtoon Islamists, it will benefit people in Punjab and Sindh (or even in Pushtoon regions) who don't want Talibanis to gain influence in the heart of Pakistan - Punjab and Sindh itself. ANP's contradictions with powers in Punjab or with Urdu speakers will not go away, nor will ANP be strong enough to win major regional concessions. But in taking the 'bitter pill' of its own - which, not to hide its dangers, could even end up meaning committing harakiri - it will help push the whole of Pakistan closer to its own vision than where the latter is today.

It will be a bitter pill, no doubt. Whether they are Pushtoon Islamists, or Pushtoon secularists, they may see themselves as being used to serve the broader goals of Punjabis, Sindhis, and Mohajirs at different times, and against each other, but life is not necessarily fair, and something may be better than nothing.

Yasser:

"...will Asfandyar Wali Khan realize that the vote that he got has little to do with Pushtun nationalism and more with his constructive social agenda which promises clean water and health care....

From the trajectory you describe, at least to me it looks they must be driven more by Pashtun interest, albeit within Pakistani framework. I had followed in 70, Wali Khan, and Mujib, as they were painted alike in the liberal British press of those years.

Social agendas are unachievable, as someone must pay for these. Socialists / communists beginning from China realized it. A strong market based economic agenda, education and female empowerment should be the core of the Common Agenda.

162 seats are needed to complete absolute majority. PPP + PML - N + ANP = 164, from the press reports that I have. Seemingly the first commitment is to stick it out the entire five years. If they have a common agenda that puts Pakistan First, with 2/3rd majority for five years they have dictatorship of the parliament (= Pakistani Awam).

This is what young Pakistani leaders would look for from my generation of current Pakistani leaders. Your generation is ready and waiting in the wings. Nehru had 10 years of such majority, and delivered institutions. There may be a need to hurry and do it in 5 years in 2000 what he did in India in 1950s. You must read the above statement without your personal bias against Nehru. Reality speaks for itself no one can deny his contribution to Today's India..

To me it looks as if these three leaders have a shared vision for Pakistan. Something Musharraff was gambling for.

Re: # 10

MantoLives,

your observations regarding Bacha Khan and his family are typical that come from a certain myopic self centred creed of people. While likes and dislikes of political figures could be highly subjective, however to lump a whole lot of family members of a political figure for the crimes or beliefs of that one figure is highly unfair, particularly if you use that for ulterior motives to push your opinions. I mean your using the name of Jabbar Khan, who although being Ghaffar Khan's brother didn't share his views, and also Ghani Khan who happens to be one of Pashto language's greatest poets, and the award he may have received from Zia must've been due to his recognition as a poet rather than as a son of Ghaffar Khan.

Pakistani political families are in all seasons. Achackzai's brother was a very high ranking civil service officer for a long time and now he has a very close relative in the army too. Wali Khan's brother was an educationist par excellence and remained head of Aitchison College for a long time. Many close relatives of Asfandyar are renowned civil servants. Its time we get out of the bottleneck and threat syndrome. Now we are all Pakistanis.
Frontier regions have remained and still are some of the most inclusive and tolerant areas of Pakistan.

Anil ji,

(Nehru had 10 years of such majority, and delivered institutions.)

Actually he had 17. And apart from institutions he also delivered Indira G and the license-quota-permit raaj (aka Socialism) and the results are for everyobe to see- 60 years on 70% of India's population still c***s by the railroads.

Regards

Future of Country is cross roads.
Will Pahelvan Zardari and NS will lift pressure put by USA elites and say farewell to WOT and say good bye to Haram money for killing muslims or just become heavy lifeters for USA elites is question. Money is addictive not only to people but to nations. This haram money is fast and quick and leaves also fast. Mr Z ad NS are As in play of Hamlet to be or not to be. Saddam use to say its better to die once as tiger or die all time as sacraficial goat. He did not get definite answer, S.Hussain is gone but Hosni Mubarak and gene. M continue with stiped of haram money. Again what Mr. Masadi writes is clear as Sun and truth.After all Nizam survived more than Mughal empire, almost 100 years more and gone without zip. Mr. Masadi is abused all time by peopns of west. Worst thing done to locals by Western Powers not economical slavery but mental slavery. So white british left hindustan but all hindostanis as still slaves both countries surviving on largeness of USA. ( PK on direct cash handout and india on soft money of trade and export inmport). Only time will tell if we will carry the burden of usa and go on killing people just to please usa.
All other things are just details. Please study Masadi for basic understanding of elite power structure.

Interesting article.

The Pakistani federation will evolve into the 1973 vision as the ethnic based parties swept the elections and that will greatly weaken the center and if the process continues, then Islamabad might have to accept the idea that federal power has devolved into increased provincial autonomy for individual provinces.

Listening to the wind chimes of Islamabad, the hurried and frantic ambassdorial visits to PPPP and PML-N suggest that the west is afraid of a reduced federal power structure, which will then negatively impact the war on terror. This is the reason, why they are asking new government not dispense with Musharraf fully and to retain him.

The Great Game continues and the pawns keep jockeying for power, but the reality remains the same - different music, different seating arrangement but the same participants and and public is not invited to the show called Democracy. (lol)

Yasser,

This may be a good time to go back to the Lahore Resolution and recast Pakistan in that mode.

Regarding ANP's victory one cannot say much if the turnout there was only 12% (as Zee sahib). Of course it is quite possible that the ongoing war and terror there had affected turnout and the remaining 88% if they had voted wud have shown similar trends.

Regards

Ghani Khan gave up politics in the early 50s. Ask any Pushtun and they will tell you that he is among the three greatest Pashto poets of all time, if not THE greaters. So if he was awarded by the gov of Pakistan (which happened to be Zia at the time), whats worng with it? I bet if he had declined to accept the said award, then you would be making it an issue as an anti-pakistani statement.

It appears that the author hasn't been to Pukhtunkhua in recent times. You can take a ride to Peshawar and surrounding cities today and see for yourself how many ANP flages are flying high on houes, shops and cars. The election was not rigged and thats why ANP won.

Again, its very easy, take a Daewoo to Peshawar :)

Jungraiz sahib,

There is a popular theory that ANP has won the vote of only Verkottey Vilayatis basically the civilised population of settled, plains areas like Charsadda and Peshwar only. The true red blooded Pathans- of the hilly areas like Mehsuds, Waziris et al are supporters of the LMP. The fcat that only 12 % of the people voted (if Zee sahib is correct) wud suggest that largely Pushtoon people rejected the polls. Of course there can be other explanations for the low turnout, mainly fear and violence that is going on.

majumdar:

zeemax doesnt know anything about the NWFP, the recent win of the ANP has a lot to do with the string of suicide bombings that were carried out by the islamists. People wanted a change and they got it. more than 30 provincial seats do not constitute a varkotay (small) area, as mr zeemax keeps repeating over and over again. These mummy daddy jihadis are seeing their dreams of a greater jihadistan turning to dust... thats why all the whining.. As for the "true" pathans, well most of the MNA, elected from tribal areas have secular leanings as well.... these are facts that are very hard to swallow for jihadi chutiyas who support the taliban while sitting in front of computer monitors (a haram activity).

AK sahib,

(People wanted a change and they got it.)

That wud imply that ANP got merely a negative vote against the MMA rule, not becuase the people there are secular (or Islamist for that matter).
