dc.description.abstractThis thesis provides a gender perspective on resistance against the construction of the mega Kalabagh dam project on Pakistan’s Indus River. The resistance is ethno-nationalist in political nature; it is premised on ethnic identity that is masculine, along with ethnic territorial claims. Pashtun women are not considered to be political subjects. The study concludes that the construction of the dam will enormously affect lives of men and women, including the pattern of gender specific livelihoods directly dependent on natural resources, land, water, and forests, that will all be inundated. Outdated gender-blind dam resettlement plans, prepared by water and power development authorities will reproduce existing gender inequalities in displacement.en
