Present study is based on anthropological fieldwork conducted in
2005-06. This research tries explores the major reasons of
sectarian divide in early Muslim society and its expansion to the
later period. It also investigates the major causes and
consequences of sectarian conflict in district Jhang. The District
Jhang among others faced worst nature of sectarian conflict in the
history of Pakistan. The sectarianism here in Jhang is a conflict
between Shiites and Deobandis. Throughout the last three decades
sectarian clashes increased dramatically in Jhang. According to the
office records of Jhang District Police Officer (DPO), 123
sectarian clashes were registered in various Police Stations from
1989 to 2002. These clashes produced high uncertainty among
inhabitants with large-scale emigration; affected businesses; and
unprecedented deaths on both sides. There are different precursors
of this sectarian conflict. Among others theological difference;
religious leaders' strife and political patronage; and ethnic
identities of the inhabitants are the major determinants of this
conflict.
