This article discusses how Pakistani society has clearly distanced itself from terrorism. On 6th January 2015, the 21st Amendment Bill passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan has officially changed the constitutional definition of “Muslim terrorist(s)” into “terrorist(s) using the name of religion”. Pakistan has been called a hub of terrorists ever since several active terrorist groups are known to be based in Pakistan – such as the Sunni extremists Tahrik-e Taliban Pakistan (Pakistan Taliban Movement, TTP) or Sipah-e Sahaba Pakistan (SSP). Some of these groups are said to be supported by the Pakistani military and claim they will establish an Islamic order in society. However, Pakistani society itself has been suffering from terror and has been mobilized in the war on terror. This paper shows the transformation of Pakistani society concerning the concept of “Islamic-ness”.
Pakistan has been a frontline state in conflicts such as, the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, or the war on terror after 9/11. During the anti-Soviet war, Pakistan received huge financial and military assistance from both Western and Islamic countries. The Western countries supported Pakistan in the Cold War proxy war against the USSR, and Islamic countries provided assistance in the name of jihad against the Communists. In the 1980s, Muhammad Zia ul-Haq’s military regime promoted Islamization of society, a process which was never criticized by the international community which needed the Pakistani military regime’s cooperation in the war.
Needless to say, Islam is the national religion of Pakistan and 95% of the total population of Pakistan belongs to Islam. Although the peoples of Pakistan may have different religious practices in their everyday life, all of them are attached to a firmly based monotheistic faith, and regard Muhammad as the last Prophet. However, there has generally been widespread reluctance to criticize Islamization or even Islamic extremists who kill in the name of religion. Also, terrorists often expressed their disapproval of the Pakistani government as not being “Islamic” or being a “puppet of the US”. As a result, Pakistani society has often been confused concerning the “Islamic-ness” of its own governments. This may be one of the reasons why there was not much criticism of the extremists even if they killed in the name of Allah.
Since the tragic attack on a Peshawar school in December 2014, Pakistani society has evolved radically on that issue. Even Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who originally supported the idea of negotiating with the terrorists, has now approved an amendment to the Constitution establishing special military courts which are to be active for a two-year period only and designed to be rapidly dealing with crimes related to terrorism. The amendment states that Pakistan is willing to permanently wipe out and eradicate terrorism from the country. This decision shows not only the firm intention of the government on its war on terror, but also the decisive break with the terrorists who monopolize the cause of religion in Pakistani society. For Pakistan, it could be said that the consequence of voting such an amendment represents the greatest social transformation ever experimented since the Islamization of the 1980s.

本研究では、環インド洋地域を構成する南アジア、東南アジア、西アジア/中東について、イスラーム、ヒンドゥー教、仏教が20世紀後半から宗教復興を遂げている状況を調査し、社会と宗教がともに現代的なテクノロジーによって変容している実態を解明した。特に先端医療の発展によって、宗教的な生命倫理が再構築されていることが明らかとなった。

The project of Islamic Area Studies, Kyoto University has been promoting the preservation of the intellectual heritage of Islamic culture and the compilation of a database of this heritage. In this regard, Kyoto University decided to house the huge collection of books on Islamic culture in South Asia collected by Dr. Mu'inuddin Aqeel in 2012, which contains almost 27, 000 items, including both rare books and magazines. This paper overviews the characteristics of the Aqeel Collection with a introduction to Dr. Aqeel who has had a deep attachment to the Japanese academic community. There are many private libraries in South Asia but most of them specialize in a particular subject such as Islamic studies, Urdu literature, art, and so on. The most distinguished characteristic of the Aqeel Collection is that since Dr. Aqeel has wide-ranging interests concerning Islamic culture in South Asia, his collection includes many books on different subjects such as tazkiras, books on religions, history, or literature. Because he tried to collect as many books on one particular subject as he could, his collection includes rare tazkiras of many Sufis of different cities of the Indo-Subcontinent and the regional history of many cities, even small towns of the sub-continent. Besides, Dr. Aqeel adopted his own method of classification for the books. For example, for books on history, Dr. Aqeel classified books according to regions and historical events, such as Pre-Mughal period, Mughal period, Sikh era, British era, Independent movement, and after the independence of India and Pakistan. He even put some literary magazines on a particular subject on the same shelf as the books on the same subject. This method of classification has provided scholars with easy to access all the literature on a particular subject. Thus, the study of these books must inevitably provide multidimensional perspectives about Islam in South Asia.

After it received funding from the university-wide fund (provision of a large collection) in 2012, the Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University, purchased Dr. Moinuddin Aqeel's Collection of Urdu Literature (hereunder, "Aqeel Collection"). Since then, the school has been continually working on registering the collection. It expects to have inputted almost all of the content onto OPAC by March, 2016. The collection represents a treasure trove for the field of South Asian Islam, which still has not made sufficient headway in Japan. The collection has been utilized in an inter-regional joint research promotion undertaking by NIHU [National Institutes for the Humanities] "South Asia and Islam" and the Grant-in-Aid Research project (Kakenhi) "General Research on the Publication and Transmission of Islamic Books in the South Asian Languages" (research representative: Tonaga Yasushi; Co-researchers: Kosugi Yasushi, Tanabe Akio, Matsumura Takamitsu, Yamane So, Inoue Aeka, and Imamatsu Yasushi). One outcome of this research is the opening of a comprehensive database on the collection http://www.asafas.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ kias/aqeel_db/. In the process of the research, we invited the original owner of the collection, Dr. Moinuddin Aqeel (former Professor at the University of Karachi), in the framework of the Kyoto University Asian Studies Unit (KUASU) a couple of times, received suggestions from him, and conducted joint research in connection with its research project "Forming an Educational Research Base for the World Leading Contemporary Asian and Japanese Studies: Kyoto University Asian Studies Cluster and International Affiliated Graduate School Program."

インドの多言語状況は、時代を通して地域的な多様性だけではなく社会的にも幾つかの層をなしていた。言語の差異を超えて愛好・伝承され続けてきた文学・文芸を対象に、古代から現代まで、多くの言語の各々を扱うことのできる総勢30名以上のインド研究者が共同して研究を進めた。その結果、民衆が自らの日常語による創作から発した抒情詩や説話、職業的吟遊詩人が担った叙事詩、それらをサンスクリット語で昇華させた宮廷詩人、さらには詩の美的表現法が現代の映画作りにも至っている、といったインドの人々の精神史の流れを解明できた。

本研究課題では、地域大国の比較研究を中心軸に捉えつつ、異なるディシプリンながらも、地域大国の周縁的存在を研究する点で一致する研究者によって、地域大国のマイノリティとしてのムスリム、移住者、特定の一族など、周縁に置かれるがゆえに中心(大国)を意識する事例を取り上げた。この中で国際シンポジウム主催を1回、共催を2回行った。また国際会議を3回、研究会を25回以上開催し、この期間内に発表した論文も60点を超えた。2013年度には成果を公刊する予定であり、異なる地域を研究対象とする研究者の交流が、研究分野での未開拓分野を明らかにし、今後の研究の深化に大きく貢献することができた。

言語横断的な会話文および語彙データベース作成が、本研究の最大の目的であった。言語によってデータベースの大きさにばらつきは出たものの、多言語間での語彙や短文の簡易検索や、一部の言語における映像資料との連携などが可能となった。日本では商業ベースで注目されることが少ない、いわゆるLCTL(LessCommonlyTaughtLanguages)の外国語教育への応用も含め、これまでにあまり例を見ない使用に耐えるデータベースが構築され、当初の目的は概ね達成できたと考える。
