Transformation in the discipline of Social Sciences is a global phenomenon but in the
post-colonial societies it means two things. First, far reaching societal changes
resulting into the emergence of new fields in Social Sciences fulfilling new conditions
and requirements of society. Second, the growing need and relevance of Social Sciences
research so as to address issues which cause serious societal changes. Marginalization
of Social Sciences and social scientists in case of Pakistan is not a new phenomenon.
There cannot be any time line which can be given for modernizing Social Sciences in
Pakistan which can meet the criteria and standards of 21st century. Yet, those who teach
and do research in different subjects of Social Sciences must come forward and play a
leadership role in this regard. This would require a paradigm shift in the arena of
admitting students and appointing faculty so that the best stuff both at the student and
faculty level is motivated to join the subjects of Social Sciences in order to ensure
quality control and standard which seem to have deteriorated in the last four decades is
restored. By attracting the best talent in the subjects of Social Sciences one can expect
positive transformation in the state and societal patterns of Pakistan.
