Editorial : The CSH and Social Sciences Practices in Pakistan

During the last decade, the CSH hosted and supported numerous research projects dealing with Pakistan, primarily from the perspective of International Relations(India-China-Pakistan triangle, forms of economic and strategic cooperation and nuclear diplomacy). Meanwhile, new research projects on Islam and Muslim populations in India have emerged at the CSH, in a context where the media and policy makers have given substantial attention to the question of social and religious minorities.

If individual as well as collective projects continue to be developed in India around these issues, French researchers from the CSH rarely go to Pakistan to confront themselves to the field. However, this has recently begun to change and two CNRS scholars posted at the CSH, Rémy Delage and Laurent Gayer, both conducted extensive fieldwork in the province of Sindh in recent years.

Laurent Gayer's research focuses on Karachi, Pakistan's economic hub as well as the turbulent capital of Sindh. Focusing on the overlapping of organised and random forms of violence in the city, this research aims to unravel the social, political and economic processes behind Karachi's "ordered disorder". In contrast with the cosmopolitan urban environment of Karachi, interior Sindh is the heart of Sindhi society and culture. Rémy Delage develops, in close collaboration with Michel Boivin (CEIAS) and within a multidisciplinary team of researchers, a monograph on the locality of Sehwan Sharif, one of the most important Sufi pilgrimage centres in contemporary Pakistan.

CSH researchers certainly benefit from their geographical proximity with Pakistan, which facilitates access to the field as well as the development or maintenance of collaborations with academic institutions in Pakistan. The Embassy of France in Pakistan has also supported on a regular basis several research operations conducted by the CSH.

For several years now, the CSH has been very active in research networks taking an interest in Muslim societies in India and Pakistan. An atlas of Muslim minorities in Asia, to which the CSH contributed significantly with five chapters, was published by CNRS Editions in 2010. An international conference, co-organised by Rémy Delage and Michel Boivin, was held in Paris in September 2010: "Shrines, Pilgrimages and Wanderers in Muslim South Asia" (a book is in progress). Similarly, a conference related to the project "Muslim Localities in Urban India", coordinated by Laurent Gayer and Christophe Jaffrelot, was organised in June 2010 in Paris. A collective volume will be published by Hurst/Columbia University Press in March 2012. Laurent Gayer is also finalising a book manuscript for Hurst on Karachi's turf wars.
