Abstract

Like many other books. The work of Myron Weiner and Ali Banuazizi (1994) entitled “The Politics of Social Transformation in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan” coerces the social sciences academia in the addressed countries to answer the critically highlighted questions about socially and religiously conservatism in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. At the same time during analyzing previous literature, it is found that no one author in Pakistan has been traced who emphasizes these questions as the “research questions” for any dissertation. If there is somewhat similar work published for the EU-funded project “Asia-Europe Connectivity” in Soft Vision University Tbilisi (Georgia), it deals only with Iran or the states encircling the Caspian Sea, but not Pakistan. Therefore, this study traces out the reasons for the tussle between religiously conservative and liberal elements in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan; and they search for its solutions academically.
