Abstract
The present study was conducted in Khyber Agency (FATA) with the sole
objectives to ascertain the local’s attitude regarding the impact with its
application to the writ of the state. A sample size of 380 respondents i.e.
intellectuals, local elites, business community, students, IDPs and
political administration was randomly drawn. Uni-variate analysis were
conducted and presented in percentages while at bi-variate level
dependent variable (writ of the state) was indexed and cross tabulated
with the independent variable i.e. impact of militancy. Test of association
i.e. Chi-Squarewas used to determine the level of association. The study
ascertained that a highly significant relationships were discovered
between investment declined in the area; business community migrated
to other part of the country; the demand of man power for recruitment
of insurgents along with financial support as a replacement of man
power to a war fare; hospitals were ruined in view of security and weak
writ of the state. Moreover, NGO access to the study area was also
restricted; female student’s enrollment curtailed; FATA has been
witnessing in bulk of local migration from the area with the formidable
decline in economic activities along with the severe jolts to educational
institutions both in structural and functional terms. A strong significant
relationship was found between religious institution and writ of the state.
The study suggests that increase in militancy was due to enhanced
number of religious schooling. Early marriages of the young girls
popularity was also found highly significant with the writ of the state.
Increase in abduction cases; child trafficking; and child abused were
further found significant with writ of the state along with abduction as
a tool being used for ransom in return responsible for providing
monetary support to the militant activities. Furthermore child trafficking
was very attractive being effective free of cost human being provision as
crucifiers in the shape of suicide bombers. This is not the end rather
study witnessed child abuse cases on rise such as sexual and physical
abuse including punitive i.e social and political and economic rights
denied which is the outcome of unemployment and illiteracy of the youth.
