    Extractions: Cultural Secretary's Statement on Promotion of Friendly Exchanges in various fields Talks on the Promotion of Friendly Exchanges in Various Fields were held today as part of the composite dialogue process that has begun between India and Pakistan. With the discussions today, the two countries concluded, discussions on the eight identified subjects in less than a month. This process has contributed to building trust and confidence, seeking mutually beneficial co-operation, and addressing outstanding issues. The subject we discussed today, is the very essence of the overall objective of the dialogue process. Normalisation of relations through promotion of interaction between the peoples of the two countries is one of the basic objectives of the Simla Agreement. People of both the countries have demonstrated a desire for greater bilateral contacts. There have been visits to India by eminent Pakistan singers, artists, theatre personalities and school children. It was our approach to build on them and explore further avenues in which the two countries could have meaningful exchanges. During our meeting today, we proposed detailed and practical suggestions in the field of Art and Culture, Youth Affairs, Sports, Information and Media. The Pakistan side informed that they would examine our proposals in the light of the India-Pakistan Cultural Agreement of 1988. We look forward to positive and constructive response from them.

82. Pakistan's Jihad Culture
    Foreign Affairs November/December 2000. pakistan's Jihad culture.By Jessica Stern. FREE AGENTS. This spring the US State Department  
    http://www.indianembassy.org/US_Media/2000/october/Pakistan's Jihad Culture.htm
    
    Extractions: FREE AGENTS This spring the U.S. State Department reported that South Asia has replaced the Middle East as the leading locus of terrorism in the world. Although much has been written about religious militants in the Middle East and Afghanistan, little is known in the West about those in Pakistan perhaps because they operate mainly in Kashmir and, for now at least, do not threaten security outside South Asia. General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's military ruler, calls them "freedom fighters" and admonishes the West not to confuse jihad with terrorism. Musharraf is right about the distinction the jihad doctrine delineates acceptable war behavior and explicitly outlaws terrorism but he is wrong about the militant groups' activities. Both sides of the war in Kashmir the Indian army and the Pakistani "mujahideen" are targeting and killing thousands of civilians, violating both the Islamic "just war" tradition and international law. Pakistan has two reasons to support the so-called mujahideen. First, the Pakistani military is determined to pay India back for allegedly fomenting separatism in what was once East Pakistan and in 1971 became Bangladesh. Second, India dwarfs Pakistan in population, economic strength, and military might. In 1998 India spent about two percent of its $469 billion GDP on defense, including an active armed force of more than 1.1 million personnel. In the same year, Pakistan spent about five percent of its $61 billion GDP on defense, yielding an active armed force only half the size of India's. The U.S. government estimates that India has 400,000 troops in Indian-held Kashmir a force more than two-thirds as large as Pakistan's entire active army. The Pakistani government thus supports the irregulars as a relatively cheap way to keep Indian forces tied down.

83. Kashmir Sentinel: April 1st--May 31st, 2001
    Rise of Jehadi culture in pakistan Background pakistan's vulnerability to Jihadiculture is inbuilt in the ideology of the state it has pursued.  
    http://www.panunkashmir.org/KashmirSentinel/April2001/5.html
    
    Extractions: Background: Focussed counter-insurgency operations against the Kashmiri terrorist sin early 90's led to the fall of public support to militants. Pakistan then introduced a new feature in the proxy warthe systemic induction of international Islamist mercenaries to prop up what it called as Jehad (religious war)_. Master Ahsan Dar, the founder of Hizbul Mujahideen, the armed outfit of Kashmir Jamaat Islami, upon his arrest in 1993 disclosed that ISI was laying stress on the induction of highly trained and well-equipped alien mercenaries to effectively engage the Indian security forces. Fomenting subversion in Kashmir through Islamist mercenaries has led to the proliferation of Jihadi madrassas in Pakistan. According to a JKLF leader, there are more than five lakh

    Extractions: As a Muslim nation, Pakistan is strongly influenced by the culture and traditions of Islam. Karachi is the seat of some of the most important libraries in Pakistan; these include the Liaquat Memorial Library, the Central Secretariat Library, and the University of Karachi Library. Also of note are the National Archives of Pakistan, in Islamabad, and the Punjab Public Library, in Lahore. The National Museum of Pakistan, in Karachi, contains important materials from the Indus Valley civilizations, as well as Buddhist and Islamic artifacts. Cultural materials also are displayed in the Lahore Museum and the Peshawar Museum. The Industrial and Commercial Museum, in Lahore, contains exhibits on the manufactures of Pakistan. The land where the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is situated today had been a seat of world's leading Civilizations from the time immemorial. There is plenty of evidence from the pre-historic and historic period to support this argument, e.g., fossil jaws of apes, circa 14 millions years old found from Pothohar. They belong to a species named "Sivapithecus Pakininsis", said to be the ancestor of Man. A 2 million years old earliest stone hand axe. Now on display in Islamabad Museum, Islamabad.

    Extractions: Instead I had to make do with posters inviting me to shop till I drop in Dubai and a fat, grumpy mustachioed customs officer asking me whether I had brought back any guns, drugs and porn magazines. From reports and stories that you hear abroad Pakistan was a veritable haven for terrorists, with people willing to drop bombs on children hospitals crawling out of every orifice. My friends in the UK as well as my friendly travel agent at my friendly travel agency were nonplussed at my decision to move here. They all told me to not to move here as I was one, liable to fall into the hands of religious fundamentalists, two, become an unwitting target for someone called Dubya, three, get nuked, four, get married to some woman I had never seen in my life, or five a combination of all the above. My travel agent actually fell off her chair when I said I wanted a one-way ticket to Karachi. She insisted I buy a return just in case. I said "Hey its not as if we're armed to the teeth, teetering on the brink of a nuclear war with a hostile, much larger, equally nuked-up neighbour." In the event I have now been in Karachi for close to 4 months, having lived abroad all my life and in the UK for the last 10 years. So when I meet people here and tell them that I have moved here they adopt the same tone people do when you tell them someone close to you has died. "Oh I am sorry to hear that. How are you holding up? Is there anything I can do for you? Moving back is such an ordeal..." at which point I interrupt to say "Actually I haven't moved back. I've never lived here before." This seems to throw them completely off kilter - as if I have just said "Well yes my mother has just died but I hated the old bag anyway." Sometimes they manage a very meek "Why?". When I first got here I used to actually give people reasons like well I suppose it is my home, or I think I can really do what I want here or that I wanted to see my family again or that I felt it was simply time to move on. Now I just reply "Why not?" and leave it at that.

    Extractions: The number of Afghan refugee camps on the Pakistan border multiplied in the weeks following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The U.S. retaliation against Al-Qaeda members in Afghanistan was imminent, forcing the people of the land to retreat to safe harbor in the neighboring country of Pakistan. I was about to leave New York for Philadelphia when I received a call to go to Pakistan. I was asked to photograph the "struggle and strife" of those affected in the war-torn region. I felt it was my responsibility as a photojournalist to accept the assignment in Pakistan. This was history. I wanted to present a fair, accurate and thoughtful photographic report. I thought my pictures could help people here in the U.S. understand what was going on there in Central Asia. Because life as we knew it had changed on Sept. 11, I wanted the photographs to make people stop their daily routine and think about what was going on in the world at this crucial time. The Society of Professional Journalists awarded "Caught In the Struggle and Strife - Images From Pakistan" the Sigma Delta Chi Award in feature photography for 2001.

92. P.A.K.I.S.T.A.N. - European/Western Culture

    http://www.khyber.demon.co.uk/history/pakistan/european.htm
    
    Extractions: To satisfy that ambition we use the English language, we copy the British institutions, and we follow the Western calendar. The result is that our thought, our expression, and our action are all inspired and shaped by European Culture - a Culture the core and content of which is Christian. This means that voluntarily and systematically we are surrendering Islam, Saracenism, and Pakism to Britishism, Europeanism and Westernism. In fact, such is our degradation that the fuller surrender we make of our heritage, the happier we feel with ourselves. This attitude and action most of us conveniently justify in the name of `Kemalism' (Kemal Attaturk-founder of secular Turkey), little realising that `Kemalism' is not a heaven-sent cult for us; and also that, in its original form, it was definitely a protest against Europeanism. Indeed, its victories in 1921-22 were all won by the appeal of Pan-Islamism and for the cause of Islamic culture and civilisation; and, what is more, its subsequent Europeanisation of the whole heritage of Islam in the world - and, in essence, Europeanisation is Christianisation. Thus it has done to our heritage what Christianity has failed to do in the Crusades.

    Extractions: Ph: 6363127 - 6305920 INSTITUTE OF ISLAMIC CULTURE Institute of Islamic Culture is an independent organization, registered on February 1, 1951, under the Societies registration Act, XXI of 1860. The Institute is located in NARSING DAS HOUSE. This huge building was allotted to the Institute by Department of Settlement of Rehabilitation, Govt. of the Punjab, in 1952. In 1968, the Institute together with its two sister organizations ( ) purchased this building and paid Rs. 3,65000/= (Three Lacks and sixty five thousands) to the Department. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The final aim of the Institute is to propagate transcendental values of life such as brotherhood of mankind, justice, tolerance and well-being of society as conceived by Islam. The Institute keeps itself aloof from sectarianism and polemics which serves no purpose whatsoever. It believes that without spiritual rebirth and intellectual creativity we will not be able to overcome our social ills. The Institute therefore regularly publishs books both in English and Urdu on the various aspects of Islamic civilization. It also issues a quarterly Urdu magazine: Al-Ma'arf;

    Extractions: If there's one country in South Asia that stands out as having all the right ingredients to become a major tourist destination, it's Pakistan. Here you will find spectacular mountains, including eight of the world's ten highest peaks, lush valleys and beautiful beaches as well as an incredibly rich culture that has gradually evolved from a fascinating history dating back thousands of years. In the past few months, though, Pakistan's new government has shown extremely positive signs that it wants to promote the country on a much grander scale in order to boost tourism. All of this augurs well for Pakistan, undoubtedly one of Asia's most complete travel destinations. The country is blessed with an inordinate number of tourist attractions. Consider, for instance, its northern mountains. Here, one can enjoy trekking and mountaineering on three celebrated ranges - the Karakoram, the Hindukush and the Himalayas. Within this area are no less than 22 peaks over 25,000 feet, surely making it the real rooftop of the world. From the snow and frost in the far north, giant glaciers spill down the mountain slopes, melting at lower altitudes to fill the gorges below with raging torrents of white water. Lower still, the tributaries help to swell the mighty Indus River which in turn traverses picturesque valleys that resemble the much better known Swiss Alps. On its way to the Arabian Sea near Karachi, the Indus passes Pakistan's fertile fields and meadows bathed in year-round warm weather.
