WAZIRI CULTURE AND PASHTUN TRIBAL GOVERNANCE SYSTEM: A MISSING LINK TO HALT THE DEADLIEST WAR IN WILD WAZIRISTAN
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Waziristan, the most southern tribal agency on Pakistan’s western frontier, has a long history of independence and defeating the invaders; those who aimed to bring the area under their central authoritative control likewise administrative jurisdiction and Wazir tribes to breath beneath the forced psychosomatic supremacy, induced with full power. However, the consistent upshots of Wazirs vanquished the attacker’s fate. Ultimately, the Wazir tribes were dealt with skilful tactics of presenting due respect to local tribal social customs. It was followed by recognition of their tribal governance system and empowerment of the tribal elders to indirectly administer the wild frontier, which has resulted in victorious regional control for decades and peace prevailed in the region. But, last decade’s turmoil has made the area and its inhabitants a sizzling concern in the pursuit of pledging un-conditional support and sanctuary to Taliban and other extremists fighters. Hence, neglecting the tribal liberation psyche, diminishing the local governance system and undermining the bygone popular role of the tribal elders, advanced tactics of war were explored by the consecutive Pakistan governments and its allies. However, it resulted in the ever-floating situation of Waziristan with extremism both in and out of Waziristan. The current situation still can be transformed to its realistic old nonviolent position; no further blood shed both in and out of Waziristan, only on admiring Waziri liberation psyche and reforming tribal governance system.
