News Letter 1-10.Ai HAPPY HOME SCHOOL Celebrating the Past, Building the Future August 2020 - July 2021 Chief Executive’s Message Welcome to the Yearly Edition of the Happy Home School Newsletter. We at HHS strongly believe in our motto- ‘Knowledge is Power’ and this is the driving force behind all our actions. At our School, education does not pertain only to academics, rather we believe in the holistic development of every individual. In these times of intense competition, while it is important to acquire theoretical knowledge, it is equally important to be equipped with problem-solving skills and hands-on experiences. We believe in taking the academic and co-curricular hand in hand-our focus on curriculum is evident from the prized positions our students secure in the official examinations and in national and international competitions in a variety of fields. I am proud to share that we have developed a reading programme by the name of CLOVER, which aims to instill the love of reading in students. This is a mandatory 20 minute reading period at the start of the day, and as per the parents, has ‘Improved vocabulary, provided fluency in speaking and writing and created the desire to read’. It is this training & development, which enables our alumni to attain success in different walks of life not just in Pakistan, but also all over the world. It gives us immense pleasure to know that our students and alumni have the potential to compete for scholarships, in competitions and in their professional lives all over the world, and are working to make a difference to humanity.

    Notes Introduction 1 . See Ella Shohat, “Notes on the ‘Post-Colonial,’” Social Text 31/32 (1992), 103; and Arif Dirlik, “The Postcolonial Aura: Third World Criticism in the Age of Global Capitalism,” Critical Inquiry 20/2 (1994), 328–56. 2 .

Beginning with Carlo Coppola’s PhD dissertation, Urdu Poetry—The Progressive Episode 1935–1970 , University of Chicago, 1975, we are fortu- nate to have some excellent studies of the Progressive Writers’ Movement. See, for example, Khizar Humayun Ansari’s, The Emergence of Socialist Thought Among North Indian Muslims (1917–1947) (Lahore: Shirkat Printing Press, 1990). 4 . See Yunus Javed’s comprehensive study of the history and activities of this important parallel organization: Halqa-e Arbab-e Zauq: Tanzim, Tahrik, Nazaria (Islamabad: Dost Publications, 2003). 5 . I am grateful to Dr. Naimur Rahman Farooqi, for making available the merit list of graduating students in 1940 and 1942. 6 . The critical-essays volumes are separate from the “Jhalkiyan” corpus. 7 . I discuss this in chapter 3 . 8 . See Stephen O. Murray’s empathetic and convincing essay, “The Will Not to Know: Islamic Accommodations of Male Homosexuality,” in Islamic Homosexualities, Culture, History and Literature , ed. Stephen Murray and Will Roscoe (New York: New York University Press, 1997), 14–54. Apparently tales of Askari and Firaq’s “relationship” were common in Allahabad in those days, though almost impossible to find recorded.

The world economic tycoon such as USA, China, Japan, almost all the European countries and many others are at the verge of collapse. Besides Stock Markets around the world pounded as well as oil prices have also been fallen. The same situation is being faced by Pakistan including port city Karachi. Resultantly, the revenue collection of KMC has been hampered dreadfully due to spread of COVID-19 as well as lockdown. Therefore the exchequer of metropolis is shrinking to meager balance in the KMC’s accounts. During the current financial 2019-2020, no any improvement whatsoever is made in the financial health of KMC. Similarly the Government of Sindh has continued the same fiscal policy as adopted after 2016 resultantly all functions of KMC are hindered due to short releases on account of OZT Share and Grant-in Aid. The budget documents of any organization portray the picture of its fiscal policy as well as its historical, accounting, financial and planning.

The imagined virtues of travel hinged on two emergent beliefs: that travel was a requisite for inner growth, and that travel experience was transferable.

The local government institution as a basic democratic entity and as a basic administrative unit has been recognized all over the civilized world. The body which is elected by the residents on their own to regulate and manage public affairs and meet the need of local residents and to improve efficient service delivery at the local level to develop a sustainable quality of life for people. The Local Government in Karachi has a strong history. It can be claimed that Karachi is one of the few cities in the Indo-Pak sub-continent where municipal administration was established primitively during the early British Period, to cope with the epidemic of cholera, which was then ravaging the city. • In the year 1846 “Board of Conservancy” was established. • In the year 1852 the Board of Conservancy was converted in a “Municipal Commission” under the Municipal Act of 1850 with its temporary offices established at McLeod Road (the present I.I.Chundrigar Road). • In the year 1878, however the Bombay District Municipal Act (Act VI of 1873) was extended to Provence of Sindh areas including the “City Municipality of Karachi.” • The promulgation of Local Government legislation was continued when in the year 1933 the “City of Karachi Municipal Act, 1933” was promulgated and the “Municipal Corporation of the City of Karachi”came into being.
