Abstract

This paper is about one of the world's most strategic area, inhabited by a large tribal population. After the involvement and destruction of this area and its people in the Great Game and the Cold War, it is once again confronted with the War on Terror. Being important in the global politics and considered as a threat to national and international security, the national and international leadership are making plans and programs to eradicate this area of extremism. It is accepted that force alone cannot eradicate the menace of extremism from this area, but the military effort must be supported by robust development that can bring social and economic changes in the lives of the people. For this purpose, huge funds have started flowing into the area after the incident of 9/11. However, despite financial and human resources pooled for the purpose, no fruitful results have yet been achieved. Reasons being that the development activities of all the developing partners including the government of Pakistan are not coordinated, planned and according to the ground realities shaped by war and insurgency. To mainstream the people and the area a robust development strategy keeping in view the ground situation in mind is required.
