Taliban, Indirect Rule and the FCR Factor

    This study provides for the indirect governance structure which existed in the tribal areas of the then Indian northwest and its repercussions in the form of the rise of Taliban militancy in these tribal areas after 2001 with a major focus on South and North Waziristan. In order to carry out this research, both secondary and primary sources and survey methods were used. Secondary sources include but are not confined to research articles, books, newspaper articles and magazine reports. Primary sources that were used include personal interviews, the constitution of Pakistan and the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR).
