Myself Sohail Akhtar, I am a Lecturer at the National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad Pakistan. I hold an MPhil degree in Pakistan Studies from Quaid-I-Azam University Islamabad. My research interest includes Ethnic-Nationalist Politics, Borderlands/conflict zones. Besides I have worked as a researcher on a diverse array of subjects in Pakistan. My main area of interest is Ethnic- Nationalist/pro-independence politics, and security issues, focused mainly on an analysis of the nationalist narrative. I have contributed to both development and social science research in the mentioned areas. I have undertaken adequate training in research methodologies and my work uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. I have been conducting surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. I contribute to, Dawn, South Asian Voices and STRAFASIA.
