“…1 Shakir et al (2012) noted the problematic nature of this count as, "For reporting the literacy rate, the government does not take any test to test their literacy skills of the people. It merely counts the numbers and reports the literacy rates".…”

The fusion of religion and populism has paved the way for civilisationism. However, this significant issue is still unresearched. This paper attempts to address this gap by investigating the Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Islamist populism and civilisationism as an empirical case study. While Islamism has been explored in the context of Pakistan, this paper goes beyond and investigates the amalgamation of Islamist ideals with populism. Using discourse analysis, the paper traces the horizontal and vertical dimensions of Imran Khan’s religious populism. The paper provides an understanding of how “the people”, “the elite”, and “the others” are defined at present in Pakistan from an antagonistic and anti-Western civilisationist perspective. The paper finds that “New Pakistan” is indeed a “homeland” or an idolized society defined by Islamist civilisationism to which extreme emotions, sentimentality and victimhood are attached.

The present study attempts to explain gender-based literacy differences within Haryana. The disparity in education is measured in terms of male-female literacy differentials. The differences found based on gender in the state's educational achievement are not only seen in urban areas, but the situation in rural areas is very worrying. The Haryana literacy differential in the male-female population was very high in 2001 at 18.61%, but this gap narrowed down to 13.23% in the 2011 census. This discrimination toward female literacy results from prejudice in Indian traditional society. Women's position and status are not satisfactory in society. Many social and religious bonds confined them to only domestic work and limited their access to education-related programs. For most of the parents in our society, girls' education is not of much importance in terms of economic perspective because of strong prejudice against their employment. For parents, girl education is a kind of unnecessary risk due to the present social conditions in India. The government of Haryana has formulated many policies, schemes, and provisions to improve this situation. However, this gap in literacy in rural, as well as urban areas is very prominent. However, in rural areas, the situation is even worse. This discrimination in education has several reasons behind it.

“…Literacy must be the focus of primary education for everyone if we want to get rid of poverty, lower child mortality and slow population growth. We also need to make sure men and women have same rights and ensure sustainable development, peace, and democracy (Shakir, Lone & Zafar, 2012). Every country has a unique system for calculating the literacy rate.…”
