Note:  From our December [2010] Issue onward, Pakistaniaat will become a delayed 
open-access journal. We do this for the long-term sustainability of the journal 
and to generate some funds for the journal by encouraging individual and 
institutional subscriptions.

All issues published over an year would eventually become open-access at the 
end of each year. 

(NJ Editor 5 November 2010)

Pakistaniaat is a refereed, multidisciplinary, open-access academic 
journal offering a forum for a serious academic and creative engagement 
with various aspects of Pakistani history, culture, literature, and 
politics.

Though several existing journals do pay a fair degree of attention to 
the issues of South Asia and Postcoloniality, we feel that under the 
current climate of high capital and war on terror, Pakistan, often 
subsumed under the larger registers of South Asia or Postcolonial 
Studies, needs a particular space of its own in our academic and 
creative undertakings. Thus, Pakistaniaat aims to provide a public space 
on the Internet to introduce and discuss hitherto neglected aspects of 
Pakistani cultural and literary production and to make this knowledge 
available to a worldwide audience.

With a focus on Pakistan‹as a socio-political entity and as a 
concept‹while we welcome Paksitan-related wroks from the metropolitan 
scholars and writers, we especially encourage scholars and writers from 
Pakistan and Pakistani diaspora to contribute their works so that we can 
also serve the important purpose of showcasing the quality and 
intellectual vigor of scholarly and literary works by Pakistanis.

Pakistaniaat, thus, aims to provide an inclusive venue for all those
interested in Pakistan's history, culture, and politics, and Pakistan's
place in the region as well as in the world. We define Pakistan not only 
as a cultural and political entity but also as a fluid concept. We, 
therefore, believe that Pakistan deserves a sensitive and compassionate 
synchronic and diachronic scholary and artistic attention. We aim to 
accomplish this important mission of covering Pakistan by publishing 
scholarly articles, creative works, translations, and reviews of books 
about Pakistan.
