Cloak Gamis Pakistan

In this essay, I outline Five futures for Pakistan: (1) the Pendulum continues forever, (2) Collapse, (3) Joining Chindia, (4) the Great Game, and (5) a South Asian Confederation. The most familiar and likely are based on the pendulum of rule by the military and rule by landlord/politicians. However, what is needed is to move from the more likely and less desirable futures to a process of anticipatory democracy where the citizens of Pakistan consider, create and commit to building their preferred future.
DEEP STRUCTURES AND ARCHETYPES
While the assassination of Benazir Bhutto certainly plunged Pakistan into one of its works crisis in decades, the recent successful electionsi appear to have brought hope back again. The extremist parties did poorly, and even with a low turn out and election violence, it appears that the latest cycle of military rule is over. But how long will this cycle last?
I ask this question as Syed Abidi has made the observation that Pakistan's political system can best be understood as a pendulum between civilian rule and military rule. There have been six such swings, with the seventh toward civilian rule beginning in 2008.
These swings occur because of the deep archetypes in Pakistan's politics. There are four archetypes in Pakistan politics – the general and military rule, the people and peoples' power that overthrows the ruler, the politician-feudal lord, and the bureaucrat who ensures smooth transitions between all these types. Each one of these archetypes has two sides – the general can be protective and moral (the enlightened despot) or can be amoral, staying too long, clinging to power, assaulting human rights and using religion or strategy to stay in power. The feudal lord can equally be protective or can stay too long, and use his or her power for personal gain. The citizen can be chaotic or can bring social capital to the nation. The bureaucracy can be transparent and use their power to create a productive society (green tape) or it can slow the wheels of the nation, using time, money and symbolic power to hold the nation back (red tape).
Given these patterns, what can we say about Pakistan's futures. Five are currently possible.
ALTERNATIVE FUTURES
1.The pendulum continues forever. This would mean that after this particular civilian cycle, there will be another military coup in 7-10 years. Politicians will have some luck in ridding Pakistan of extremist fundamentalists, but old scores between the PPP and the Pakistan Muslim League or between the PPP and the military will still need to be settled. Issues of justice and revenge will continue and just as Pakistan's economy is about to take off, another crisis will set in. Citizens will rally but then when they see no real change will become despondent. “Nothing is possible here,” or a similar catch-phrase will be the inner story. Globalization will not go away but the politics would swing between growth and equity.
2. Collapse – this is the most feared scenario for all, particularly in the West. Civil war in Pakistan (the provinces going their own way), the inability to stop jihadism, Al Qa'ida or their friends finding some nukes, not to mention the global challenges of climate change, all lead to a slow decline destined for collapse. And if the challenge from the Pakistani and Afghani Taliban is resolved, the frontline will switch to half-century old war in. Capital flies away, economic development slows down and Pakistan becomes a nation of competing tribes. Women in this future are particularly vulnerable as the battle between religious and secularists throughout the Islamic (Arab influenced world) is fought over the “body” of the female. Is she a person unto herself or does the strong male (feudal lord, ruler, mullah) need to protect and control. In the collapse, chaos would reign. Over time, and perhaps even quite quickly, a strong military leader is likely to rise (the Napoleon scenario), but can the great leader unite all the tribes (the challenge facing Afghanistan today)?
3. Joining Chindia. With India likely to move into the ranks of the G-8 by 2020, gaining a permanent UN Security Council Position, Pakistan's only hope is to link in every possible way with India and China – or Chindia. Certainly Pakistan will favor the China part of the amazing rise, but in any case, in this future, economic growth is far more important than ideological struggles. To move in this direction, the Singapore or Malaysian model may be adopted. This model is characterized by a clear vision of the future, transparency; break up of the feudal system, limited democracy (One party rule) and creatively finding a niche role in the global economy, and then using that to springboard to becoming a global player. However, the India example shows that economic rise is possible outside the East Asian model. In any case, this future is hopeful but requires investment in infrastructure and a favoring of globalized capitalism. Instead of lamenting the colonial past, in this Chindia future, Pakistan creates its own transnational corporations. Politics moves from focusing on old wrongs (Kashmir, for example) to desired futures. Instead of Chindia, Chindistan is created.
The Muslim Dress
There is no accurate dress appearance assigned to Muslims. This gives allowance to board their circumstances, tastes and cultures. But there is a dress cipher which applies to all Muslims. This commodity will altercate those rules of dress cipher for Muslim women.A Muslim woman’s dress have to awning her absolute physique except the easily and face which may abide visible.The dress should not be bound applicable but adhere apart so that the appearance of the physique is not apparent.The actual of the dress should not be so thin, that one can see through it.The changeable Muslim woman’s dress should not resemble the man’s clothing.
The architecture of the dress should not be busy and bold, so to allure attention.The clothes should not be beat to appearance off, be aloof and for the purpose of accepting acceptability or accretion one’s cachet in society.Islam protects women and absolved women over 1400 years ago. The acumen for such austere dress cipher is so that the woman is adequate from the amative boring of men. In Islam a woman is actual adored so she should alone affectation her adorableness to those who deserve her. The Muslim woman should not allure absorption to herself in any way.
The avant-garde woman today is not chargeless in today’s society, she is getting exploited. Billboards and added commercial agency are application the changeable female openly, just to allure the desires of men and to advertise the products. The media rules as to how the ideal woman should attending and abounding women become disciplinarian to these rules. It is no admiration added and added women are axis to the Muslim dress code.

Revolusi Tren Busana Muslim
Judging by the development of Moslem, Indonesia mode players seemed to be thankful. Section, line of clothing that was originally considered low and thick with these negative stereotypes, now transformed into a lifestyle of urban women.
Muslim fashion is now subject to various parties and fashion boutiques had appeared exclusively Muslim. These lines also have been included in the agenda of performance modes, in order to formulate the annual Muslim fashion trends.
Evolution happens. Muslim fashion is not just limited to the robe, tunic, and abaya, but increasingly widespread. New forms are introduced. Kaftans and djellaba once only desert bear population, has become a new trend. While the old forms modified with a more contemporary design lines. Bringing a new era of Moslem society is more readily accepted.
One of the Muslim fashion trends that are emerging is the bohemian and eclectic blend of styles that is unique. Bohemian style characterized by loose long dresses and flowy, and bright colors as shown Moses Widyatmodjo.
Eclectic elements visible from a traditional accessory. Also presented an eclectic bohemian style Monika Jufry by mixing various traditional and modern cultural elements that are packed in long dresses and toska orange color. Playing in a more soft shades, brown and indigo, the bohemian element Jeny Tjahyawati presented in a long loose gown. Meanwhile, Mustafa Feny comes with a long dress floral motifs that are stacked with a jacket in shades of white and terracotta.
Despite a strong bohemian style with the spirit of freedom of choice this fashion, but became unique when applied with close links with Moslem religious rules.
"By integrating the concept of the bohemian style and Muslim fashion, market appetite is directed to further highlight the freedom to choose and wear Muslim fashion," says Moses.
According to Moses, bohemian style characterized by loose-fitting long dresses. For a more glamorous look somewhat brighter color selected.
"While the eclectic elements visible from the traditional accessories," he said.
Furthermore, Muslim fashion trends also lead to the style of androgyny. In fact, this style has a charismatic character when applied in everyday clothing. You also do not have to bother buying a new set of clothes to make it happen. Quite creative with the clothing you already own. Importantly, there are lines you look masculine in total.
This stylish designer Anne Rufaidah disclosed. Designers who are members of the Association of Indonesian Fashion Designers Entrepreneurs (APPMI) that offers a stylish androgyny through the use of long coat.
At first glance, the collection did look feminine, but actually a long coat to reach the ankle was the outer garment of the men of Europe of the past. With eloquent, Anne combines long coat with matching colored robe so graceful indirect impression disappears. The masculine image comes through the line design firm, clean, and minimal detail.

Islamic fashion
I came across an article by The Age writer Janice Breen Burns on The Vine website about Muslim fashion, and to me, this article illustrated that the power of fashion to eventuate societal change has never been greater. The article tells the story of 18 year old Jakartan fashion designer, Dian Pelangi, and her innovative take on Islamic clothing. With her name literally meaning 'rainbow' the vivacious young designer has busied about creating a line of clothing for Muslim woman that at once embraces the languid beauty of femininity and takes subtle hints from current trends while remaining loyal to Muslim standards of modesty and female decorum.
Pelangi is now a staunchly held favourite amongst many Indonesian women, who, before discovering Pelangi's left-of-centre designs, were committed to black monotony and alienated from the fashion foray. This week, at the Melbourne Indonesian embassy, Pelangi and fellow Jakartan and respected fashion figure Iva Lativah, showed off their designs at the Grand Hyatt in an intimate yet arguably revolutionary fashion show. Pelangi's designs, bursting with colour and bringing an element of avant garde decadence to the traditional hijab, are made from hand loomed, hand dyed silk, and Pelagi 'shyly' described her designs as "creative, trendy and fashionable." For more information about her designs, you can check out the article here.
While extreme Islamic culture dictates that women must be fully covered from head to toe in loose dark coloured gowns without pattern or embellishment, Pelangi's designs give sartorial hope to the thousands of more liberal Muslim women; many of whom live in Western countries and are marginalised by mainstream consumerism and fashion.The Muslim faith is problematic to feminism, as it's attitude towards women is based on restriction and control. It's all well and good for Western society to 'tisk tisk' what we perceive as morally abhorrent, patriarchal oppression, but we forget that Muslim women have a voice too, and that we, as non Muslim women, cannot assume to understand or justly represent this voice without the bias of our own beliefs and cultures.
Pelangi's work treads the middle ground with poise and dignity. It embraces Islam with wholehearted affection, and unlike many Western readings of the religion, does not alienate Muslim women by dictating that their belief system is wrong or that it treats them badly. Instead, it opens up an all inclusive discourse whereby Muslim women can not only openly love their culture and simultaneously participate in fashion (which, let's face it, is dominated by a largely white, blonde, middle class liberal and highly sexual aesthetic), but where Western women can approach Islam without trepidation, and (as horrible as I feel saying this, but it is largely a home truth, no matter how tolerant you think you are) regard Muslim women as equals and respect their religious choices.
