Abstract
Originally marked by a slight convergence and sharp divergence
nomadism and tribalism have often been taken into account as closest
social phenomena as far as their application in the tribal areas is
concerned. An in-depth academic investigation of the characteristics of
both the phenomena can clarify that they are far away from each other
with a distance of centuries. With a general recognition nomadic
society always grows into tribal structure with a natural process of
evolution which usually takes place after a long span of time. But the
case of tribal areas is unique and unprecedented because here
nomadism has been transformed into tribalism with a rapid move and
push. Rapidity in this process has ultimately arises a question –
premature tribalism. The paper, however, highlights the pros and cons
of nomadism and clarifies that how the nomadic society of FATA has
been artificially transformed into a tribal society with ulterior motives.
