| Summary/Abstract |
The major proble of Indo-Pak border management is the myopic view and general perception that this is the resposibility of BSF alone and that border security is the be all and end all of that border management. This attitude is slowly changing, as reflected by the creation of a separate department of border managment can be improved withe the economic development of border areas and through the coordinated efforts of all stakehoders. The Government should harness the unique position of BSF as its sole visible instrument in remote far-flung areas to identify the problems of border populations and initiate programs and projects for their overall economic development. Fucussed development of the border area is essential to make adequate employment opprtunities and economic avenues available to border populations so that key do not fall prey to the designs of criminals and anti-national elements.

| Summary/Abstract |
The modern state is facing challenges from numerous non-state actors, ultimately leading to the erossion of state sovereignty, authority and legitimacy. This argument has been proved appropriate in the context of Pakistani state, which is fighting a crucial battle against fundamentalist Taliban and other sectarian and extremist groups. The forces of Talibanisation are defying the Pakistani Constitution and imosing Islamic in varous parts of the country. Violence breeds more violence; this is clearly visible in Pakistan where extremist group infighting is causing significant loss of life.

| Summary/Abstract |
Today, Pakistani society is awash with fears of Taliban takeover, civil war, military coup and economic collapse. The writ of the state is gradually narrowing with every passing day. The political stability so desperately needed to deal with terrorism, which threatens the very existence of the country, has eluded Pakistan because successive rulers have mutilated Pakistan because successive rulers have mutilated the constitution to the extent that it is no longer clear whether the parliamentary of presidential form of government prevails in the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan is under siege from within. The earlier defective policy of the West has brought the Afghan and Pakistan Taliban into closer alliance and strenthened the links between the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Punjabi terrorist groups. Neither civil society nor political parties in Pakistan have the ability, or will, to take on the radicals.

| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan's army is facing its biggest test yet in tackling Islamist militancy and terrorism within its own national precincts. For an army that was not configured to counter large scale insurgency, having been trained instead to take on a single enemy, India, this is a test of mettle.

| Summary/Abstract |
The biggest sign of Pakistan failing is the country being unable to counter its downward spiral on its own, as evidenced by its complicity in the Islamisation of the Pakistani society. Can the rising spectre of Islamic fundamentalism be appropriately dealt with through ad-hoc injunctions and monetary inducements.
