TRIBAL ALLIANCES

TRIBAL ALLIANCE

Sajad Ahmed

Diversification and growth made them adopted to various tribes and castes. As the tribalism started to fasten their routes in society, the people continued their struggle to strengthen their particular tribe at the cost of collective welfare and progress of the whole society.

The people of same tribe and caste support their cast mates, means each and every individual becomes partial, he puts vested interests of his cast and tribe.

This intra-communal disputation has taken out its peak  in northern Sindh alliances of tribes on caste basis are forming on each second day such as(ABRA ETEHAAD, CHANDIA ETEHAAD, SHEIKH ETEHAAD, UNNAR ETEHAAD and so on).

Initially this caste centric system and tribalism is observed in Baluchistan where everyone lives in tribes and work in collaboration to uplift only their tribe , but now this system is also in full swing in interior sindh especially in Kamber Shahdadkot, Larkana, Ghotki, Shikarpur etc are its victims .

This tribal system has left negative impacts on the Face of society. As an illustration if minor dispute comes about between only two people it elongates and take the form of tribal conflict.Finally it turns out to be as a tribal war, furthermore these alliances breeds various social hitches like consolidation of feudal system it is obvious that if any alliance is made ultimately they make leader(SARDAR/NAWAB) he becomes court for people, every decision is taken by Sardar, and the reputable institutions like judiciary puts no value before them. 

Besides feudal system bureaucratic partisanship towards their caste mates, in which the bureaucrats of particular tribe at the behest of feudal lords support the criminal acts of perpetrators having same caste. in addition, element of meritocracy diminishes completely due to partial attitude of bureaucrats who shoulder the people of their own tribe along with, they distribute all the jobs among their members of tribes so as to get the hold of the caste or the people whose caste is same as officer they are given priority . Therefore almost in every field only the interest of tribesmen are served thereby the equality among people apart from tribal distinction and caste difference is absent.

More to the point tribal alliance proves a major drawback in the process of election, feudal are elected as the representative of country though they are illiterate and uneducated but they become succeed in taking the mandate of their tribesmen consequently the unskilled and incapable comes into  government who are unable to steer the country in right direction
