Suffice it to say that every effort has been made to consult the contemporary material available in Lahore such as newspapers, jour- nals. pamphlets and oth^r source-material on Pakistan Movement. Some of the women leaders who were active in the Pakistan Move- ment were interviewed and others were contacted through corre- spondence to get first-hand information. * At the initial stages of the task it was hoped to cover Muslim women's political role on the All-Tndia basis but later on due to the non-availability of sufficient source-material it was felt feasible to concentrate on their activities in the Muslim majority areas where their role had been constant and continuous The book has been divided into four chapters. Chapter I deals briefly with the social, educational and other activities of the Muslim women from the advent of the Mughuls to the middle of the 1930's. This only creates a background view of their social and educational condition in India. In Chapter II, HI and IV Part (I) Muslim women's political activities have been discussed during the period 1937-47 Tart II of Chapter IV gives a brief account of the political activities v/7 * * • • • Vlll of the Muslim women in the North-West Frontier Province during 1946-47. In Appendix A, brief biographical sketches of Muslim women leaders have been given. This list of women leaders is, however, not claimed to be a comprehensive one. i I am greatly indebted to my worthy teacher Ch. Umar Maimood Wathra, formerly Lecturer in the Department of History, University of the Punjab, for his valuable guidance and the pains he took in thoroughly revising the manuscript. I must record my earnest gratitude to Professor Sh. Abdur Rashid and Mr. Rafique Afzal whose afiectionate and friendly guidance throughout this work was; available to me. I also take this opportunity of acknowledging my gratitude to Dr. S. M. Ikram, Vice-President, and Dr. M. Jahangir Khan, Director, Research Society of Pakistan for their sustained interest in this work. My thanks arc due to Professor Mirza Maqbool Beg Badakhshani, Mr. Muhammad Shafique Alvi, Lecturer, Islamia College, Lahore, and Mr. Khawar Nabi who rendered help at the various stages of this project. Lahore, IS August 1969. Sarfaraz Hussain Mirza CHAPTER I • * • r The history of the Muslims in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent is a socio-cultural phenomenon of far-reaching consequences. The evolution of the Indian civilisation owes a great deal to the Muslim rule in this part of the world. Apart from their military and political institutions, their literary and artistic traditions were transplanted on the culture of the people of the subcontinent. They produced some of the world's greatest rulers. Islamic civilisation infused a new vigour into the hitherto dead arteries of the Indian culture. The establishment of the Muslim rule in the subcontinent, and patterns of culture evolved by them are interwoven in the texture of Indian civilisation and are of great significance in the history of the world civilisation. i lor a meaningful study of this development we have selected HI activity which has hitherto remained untouched. The role of the Indian women, for example, despite all their social and traditional disabilities is a significant field of study without which the story of the Muslim rule in the subcontinent would be an incomplete and drab picture. * Even before the I imurids came into power in .India, their i women had attained proficiency in the realm of artistic and literary pursuits. Amat-ul-Habib, later known as Hamida Bano, wife of 2 4 Amir Taimur, knew Chinese1 in addition to her knowledge of Turkish, Persian and Arabic. She compiled two books, one on the conquests of Amir Taimur and the other on Turkish women.2 She was also an accomplished musician. * Bubur, the founder of the Mughul empire, was a most attrac­ tive personality. He wrote his autobiography id such a lively and simple style that it set a standard for autobiographical literature. His daughter, Oulbadan Begum, had a firm commfan/i over Turkish and Persian.3 She gives a good account of the (Jisrtial career of ber brother Humayun, and of the social, cultural and historical eventr of the reigns of Babur and Humayun in her Humayun Noma.4 0\xU rukh Begum, another daughter of Babur from Salih Sultan Begum, was also a poet£ and of her daughter, Salima Sultan Begum, Jahan- gir wrote with admiration in his Tuzuk. According to him no woman could surpass Salima Sultan in ability and literary taste.6 He praises her for her natural qualities and accomplishments. She kept a sizeable library and composed Persian verse under the nam de plume MakhfL7 On the death of her husband, Bairam Khan, she married Akbar. Janan Begum, wife of Prince Danyal, was another well-read lady. She i 1. Sayyid Zahur-ul-Hasan, BegmaUi-Khandan-i-Taimuriy* ki Saw**ih Umriyan (Urdu).J>elhi, 1927, p. 10. 2. Ibid, p. 11. 3.

Jahangir was captivated not only by her beauty but also by her highly sophisticated literary taste, refinement and sagacity in matters of the State. She was a good poet of Persian and patronised the Court poets.9 A pioneer in tas'e and elegance, she became the embodiment of the Indo-Persian culture of the period and all that was the best in it. Arjumand Bano Begum, popularly known as Mumtaz Mahal, wife of Shah Jahan, to whose loving memory the emperor dedicated one of the noblest monuments, the Taj Mahal, was a symbol of Persian literary traditions. Her eldest daughter, Jahan Ara Begum was a highly educated woman. She venerated the Ulama and the Sufis and composed her own epitaph.10 She was a poet as well as an author for she wrote a book entitled the Munis-uI-Arwah11 and the Risalah Sahibiyya. The austere Aurangzeb, who had but little taste for poetry and art, could not prevent his own daughters from such pursuits. His elder daughter Zeb-un-Nisa Begum was a scholar of Persian and Arabic. She memorised the Quran at a very young age and it was under her guidance and initiative that the Tafseer-ul-Kabir was translate.1 into Persian by Mulla Safi-ud-Din Ardbili.12 She main* tained a magnificent library and her household was a centre of 8.

    Politics of Nawab of Kalabagh Malik Amir Muhammad Khan (1910-1967)

    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 35, No. 1, January – June, 2020, pp. 155 – 170 Politics of Nawab of Kalabagh Malik Amir Muhammad Khan (1910-1967) Javid Raza Naseem Government Postgraduate College, Mianwali, Pakistan. Abdul Basit Mujahid Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, Pakistan. ABSTRACT Political ideology of Nawab of Kalabagh Malik Amir Muhammad Khan (1910-67) was based on the perception of a highly educated but conservative feudal. He advocated status quo in almost all the matters including foreign relations. He advised Ayub Khan not to switch over to China because it would antagonise U.S.A. He was not so optimist about the solution of Kashmir issue. His pragmatic approach favoured the peaceful method of negotiation instead of confrontation. General perception portrays him as a typical landlord who was averse to education and freedom of press. Evidences from history reveal that there is a partial truth in it. He liked a responsible press which should not be left unbridled. Bengalis of East Pakistan made the bigger chunk of the total population of Pakistan. He, as a non-Bengali of West Pakistan, was apprehensive of their strength in numbers. Anti-One Unit politicians were secessionists in the eyes of Nawab so were dealt severely. He treated his political rivals according to their strength and ambitions. He was suspicious of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto because he (Bhutto) was too ambitious to be trusted. He allegedly victimized Chaudhri Zahoor Elahi because Chaudhri had desired to replace him. Mawlana A. Sattar Niazi, Habibullah Paracha and Pir of Makhad Sharif used to challenge his supremacy in his native area so Nawab had to deal them harshly.

    Muslim Historiography of the Pious Caliphate in British India (1857-1947)

    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No. I (January-June 2016) Muslims Historiography of the Caliphate in the British India (1857-1947) Shumaila Firdous History College, Nanjing University, China Abstract: This study intends to analyze The Muslims’ Historiography of the Caliphate in British India (1857-1947). Muslim historiography from earlier period to nineteenth century passed through many stages which represents its changing nature and structure. In India, the Muslim historiography played a very important role in creating a separate Muslim identity. During the colonial period Muslims had to face a bulk of problems, but the intellectual challenge was the most important. Many Western Orientalists and Indian scholars had launch a move to alter the history writing, construct anti-Muslim heroism and challenge the historical narrative of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the early Muslim leadership. Although Muslims were also divided into two major sects (Shia, Sunni), they felt a need to respond intellectually and uniformly to the western intellectual challenges. That was the beginning of the modern Indian Muslim historiography with a re-constructionist and revisionist approach on the basis of modern logic, reason, tradition and through historical ideals. Three schools of thought came into existence, Rationalist/Modernist, Traditionalist/Orthodox and Idealist in India Muslim historiography. Every school follow a different a different approach to historiography. Shibli Naumani, Syed Ameer Ali, Moin ud din Nadvi, Akber Najeeb Aabadi, Aslam Jairajpuri, and Abdul Haleem Sharar’s has contributed in exemplary way, dealing with the history of Pious Caliphate, Umayyads, Abbasids and Spanish Muslim history as the golden era of Islam. This tendency contributed to the emergence of two nation theory and created a strong nationalism among the Muslims, subsequently that was the base of the ideology of Pakistan.

    Shiism and Sectarian Conflict in Pakistan Identity Politics, Iranian Influence, and Tit-For-Tat Violence

    Combating Terrorism Center at West Point Occasional Paper Series Shiism and Sectarian Conflict in Pakistan Identity Politics, Iranian Influence, and Tit-for-Tat Violence Hassan Abbas September 22, 2010 1 2 Preface As the first decade of the 21st century nears its end, issues surrounding militancy among the Shi‛a community in the Shi‛a heartland and beyond continue to occupy scholars and policymakers. During the past year, Iran has continued its efforts to extend its influence abroad by strengthening strategic ties with key players in international affairs, including Brazil and Turkey. Iran also continues to defy the international community through its tenacious pursuit of a nuclear program. The Lebanese Shi‛a militant group Hizballah, meanwhile, persists in its efforts to expand its regional role while stockpiling ever more advanced weapons. Sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shi‛a has escalated in places like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, and not least, Pakistan. As a hotbed of violent extremism, Pakistan, along with its Afghan neighbor, has lately received unprecedented amounts of attention among academics and policymakers alike. While the vast majority of contemporary analysis on Pakistan focuses on Sunni extremist groups such as the Pakistani Taliban or the Haqqani Network—arguably the main threat to domestic and regional security emanating from within Pakistan’s border—sectarian tensions in this country have attracted relatively little scholarship to date. Mindful that activities involving Shi‛i state and non-state actors have the potential to affect U.S. national security interests, the Combating Terrorism Center is therefore proud to release this latest installment of its Occasional Paper Series, Shiism and Sectarian Conflict in Pakistan: Identity Politics, Iranian Influence, and Tit-for-Tat Violence, by Dr.

    1 Why Did a Military Dictator Liberalize the Electronic Media in Pakistan?

    Media South Asia Volume: Draft Chapter Hassan Why did a military dictator liberalize the electronic media in Pakistan? Dr. Kiran Hassan Many private television channels have opened since the liberalization of our media. We have to work hard to improve our image around the world, and we must proceed on all fronts simultaneously. We have to defeat terrorism and extremism, but at the same time we must also present a culturally rich, inviting, and economically vibrant alternative in its place. The media need to gear up to sell Pakistan abroad (Musharraf, 2006: 321). General Musharraf’s liberalization of the media surprised many. The Pakistani media liberalization case contradicts conventional arguments that dictatorships impose repression on the press (Randall, 1993: 628); that news bureaus in non-democratic regimes often face strict state control (Gunther and Mughan, 2000: 404–405); or that military leaders usually adopt media control as a personal policy preference (Frantz and Ezrow, 2011: 86). Contrary to established wisdom, this chapter will present seven reasons which prompted the military dictator to liberalize the broadcasting sector in 2002, and through this case offer arguments on novel and counter-intuitive forms of media control that emerged with dictatorship and economic reforms in Pakistan. Even though some analysts of contemporary Pakistan mention General Musharraf’s privatization of the broadcasting sector, they tend to tackle this topic fleetingly. Talbot (2012) looks at Musharraf’s aspiration for a more formidable military mouthpiece after the Kargil War, Lodhi (2011) treats this as part of Musharraf’s liberal agenda, Zaidi (2011) believes it to be a timely response to the fast changing technologically savvy Asian neighbourhood, and Ahmed (2007) suggests that Musharraf was looking for economically viable reforms and that the liberalization of media was one of them.
  • Punjab Muslim Students Federation and Pakistan Movement

    Punjab Muslim Students Federation and Pakistan Movement

    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 18, No.2, July-December 2013 Punjab Muslim Students Federation and Pakistan Movement Naumana Kiran* Abstract National movements need nations’ involvement for its success. It does not spare any social group or class. Students, an important social group, can bring quick success to any movement. Their energies, activism, eagerness and sacrifices were behind the success of the movement of Muslims of India for a separate homeland. Muslim nationalist students got conscious of their responsibilities in time and remained involved in the Pakistan Movement. This research paper is an attempt to bring into light the role played by the students of the Punjab from the platform of the Punjab Muslim Student Federation (PMSF). The paper examines how a Unionist-based province was converted into a Muslim League-based province. It highlights strategies adopted by the PMSF to popularise the idea of Pakistan in the Punjab; problems it faced; the sacrifices that the students rendered, as well as their stand on national political issues. An important element of the paper is its source material, including the files of gold medalists available at archives of the Pakistan Movement Workers Trust. A lot of the workers of the Pakistan Movement had been awarded with the gold medals as symbol to recognize their services. These files not only provide first-hand knowledge of the services of the students but are also an evidence of their contribution in the struggle for independence. Second important source is the interviews conducted by the researcher. Most of the elderly citizens of Pakistan responded in a very positive way and the information provided by them has enhanced the importance of this study.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.

    Gender Studies- SOC403 VU Lecture 01 GENDER STUDIES: AN INTRODUCTION Topic: 01-04 Topic 01: Gender Studies: an introduction It is a discipline which discusses the many ways in which the gender of people affects / may affect their status in society; how people’s health, education, economy, social treatment, and access to resources may vary with their gender. Sex versus Gender Sex refers to the biological characteristics distinguishing male and female. Distinction made in terms of chromosomes, anatomy, hormones, reproductive systems, and other physiological components. It refers to the social, cultural, and psychological traits associated with men and women; males and females. Sex is a fixed category whereas gender is fluid. Sex is ascribed, gender is achieved, taught, and learnt. Social context is important. Sex means being male or female. Gender means being masculine or feminine. Topic 02: Gender Studies: Nature and Scope Gender Studies is a social science with a wide scope. It emerged as a separate discipline out of women’s struggle across the globe. Concern for women’s rights and the consequent struggle paved way for the development of this discipline. In the early 20th century, women were struggling for their rights. Feminist movement was behind this struggle. Struggle for political rights, suffrage, was a distinct feature. Women were successful in this struggle. There had been a growing consciousness that women and men had been treated differently. After attaining right to political participation there was a realization that women could attain equality with men in all spheres of life which in turn would change their status in the society.

  • Role of the Marginalised Groups of Punjab in Pakistan Movement: 1940-1947

    Role of the Marginalised Groups of Punjab in Pakistan Movement: 1940-1947

    Role of the Marginalised Groups of Punjab in Pakistan Movement: 1940-1947 Naumana Kiran ∗ Abstract Majority of the Muslim population in pre-independence Punjab belonged to a low-income class of the society. The Muslims earned their livelihood from government jobs, privately owned small businesses, or were workers in industrial units. However, the most populated economic group was of peasantry because majority of the Muslim population lived in rural areas. The contribution of all these four groups of low-income class in the struggle for independence has been generally neglected by historians of the Pakistan Movement. A large number of works has been produced on the contribution of Muslim political leaders of India and Punjab in the freedom struggle. Few works have been produced on the contribution of students, Ulema and women in the independence struggle but no prominent work is available on the contribution of low-income groups of the Punjabi society in the Pakistan movement. This research paper is an attempt to cover this gap in the history of the Pakistan Movement. The paper argues that the emergence of Pakistan was not possible without the participation of Muslim masses in the movement and that the Pakistan Movement was not exclusively an elite based movement . ∗ Assistant Professor, Department of History and Pakistan Studies, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. 120 Pakistan Journal of History and Culture, Vol. XXXVI, No.1 (2015) Introduction Muslims of the Punjab were never welcomed in the government jobs by the British since the beginning of their rule. This policy was changed a bit in the twentieth century as some Muslim families had started getting modern education.
