| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the interethnic politics in Pukhtunkhwa between the foreign "Wahhabis" (formerly known as the "Hindustani Fanatics" in India) and the local Pushtun tribesmen in the pre-9/11 era. It seeks to explain the inability of the early Wahhabis to coopt the Pushtuns with their Muslim "umma" narrative, as they sought to wage "jihad" against India and beyond from strongholds in Pukhtunkhwa. It highlights the persistence of the Wahhabis for almost two centuries in trying to "convert" the Pushtun to the sahih (correct) path of Islam (their version); the cultural roadblocks that ensured limited Wahhabi success in cleansing what they viewed as a jahiliyya society of mushriqun (deviant) Muslims who seemed to prefer their tribal identity over a religious one. It identifies the long-term repercussions of the Soviet's genocidal campaign (1979-1989) that led to the destruction of the traditional social fabric in Afghanistan's Pukhtunkhwa belt: the provision of an ideological opportunity for the Wahhabists to promote their Muwahiddun (unitarian) version of Islam through generous welfare and educational funding programs. It examines how the arrival of Arab "jihadis" in Peshawar, Pakistan in the 1980s marked the beginning of an indoctrination and co-option process that continues to this day, to the detriment of the Pushtuns' unique culture, language, and religious traditions/practices.

| Summary/Abstract |
One by one, most places and institutions dear to Pakhtuns are coming under attack from the militants. Mosques and shrines have been bombed. The hujra, or the male guesthouse, has been frequently attacked while serving as a venue of public meetings and political gatherings. Jirgas in session have been targeted and scores of tribal elders and clerics in attendance have been killed. The lashkars, made up of armed tribal volunteers, too have faced the wrath of the suicide bomber.
It was said that Pakhtuns like good food and guns, and enjoy music and a nice joke. One will have to take out music from the list of things that Pakhtuns like because the Taliban militants don't like the playing of songs and musical instruments. However, they don't mind eating well, acquiring the most sophisticated weapons and cracking jokes in which someone else is ridiculed.

| Summary/Abstract |
The talk show's guests had been invited to discuss conditions attached to the Kerry-Lugar Bill, which promises 1.5 billion dollars of non-military US aid to Pakistan for the next five years. After a slew of negative reports or rumours in recent weeks about everything from embassy expansion and the arrival of Marines to Blackwater and abuse of Pakistani citizens, the bill's conditions were the latest America related controversy gripping the nation.

| Summary/Abstract |
We don't even sit together to chat anymore," the Taliban fighter told me, his voice hoarse as he combed his beard with his fingers. We were talking in a safe house in Peshawar as the fighter and one of his comrades sketched a picture of life on the run in the borderlands of Waziristan. The deadly American drones buzzing overhead, the two men said, had changed everything for al Qaeda and its local allies.

Pakistan today is confronted with two insurgencies on its flanks in the north-west and the south-west.The Baloch insurgency in Balochistan and Pakistan insurgency in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) are qualitatively different in several respects, yet they represent the same version or justification for their ethnic sub-nationalism and religious reassertion against the centre.
