Radicalism has emerged as a challenge in Pakistan especially in the last decade. It is having toll on the social fabric and is adversely impacting all spheres of life. The notion of co-existence is challenged each day by religious extremists and radical groups who adopt violent ways. In order to understand the radicalism and extremism in Pakistani context a forum has been set up. The forum is also expected to discuss possible solutions to prevent this plague from further spreading.
In connection to the same it is also important to look into the role of different actors such as civil society.
