  • In Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaffargarh Islamabad
    PRESS RELEASE N0: JPNEMPAK20-13 PRESS RELEASE Embassy of Japan organized “ODA media tour” in Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaffargarh Islamabad: February 28th, 2020 On 26 February, the Embassy of Japan organized the “Official Development Assistance (ODA) Press Tour”, participated by three journalists from esteemed media organizations in Multan. The purpose of this tour was to promote understanding of Pakistani media on Japan’s assistance for development in Pakistan, visiting the actual project sites with the journalists. Furthermore, it aimed to build awareness that Japan contributes to Pakistan’s sustainable development*. This time, the group, composed of the journalists and Embassy officials, visited two project sites; the Project for Widening & Strengthening of National Highway 70 (N-70) and the Project for Construction of Primary School in Baseera, District Muzaffargarh, Punjab. Initially, the group visited a construction site of N-70 in Dera Ghazi Khan. N-70 is a main artery connecting Punjab and Balochistan and a section of 11.5 km near Fort Monroe is a traffic choke point with continuous steep slopes and sharp curves. Japan provided concessional loan (interest rate: 0.2%, repayment period: 40 years, grace period: 10 years) worth USD142 million to improve the above section of N-70, and its construction began in 2016. Japan’s advanced technology is utilized for this project, including box-shaped girders made of maintenance-free steel for 75 years and special embankment wall using light and strong materials. A single-truck road has been expanded to double-truck and sharp curves with a radius of 8 meters has been enlarged to 30 meters.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • "New Music" Between Afghanistan and Its Transnational Community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom)
    Congrès des Musiques dans le monde de l'islam. Assilah, 8-13 août 2007. Conference on Music in the world of Islam. Assilah, 8-13 August, 2007. The circulation of "New Music" between Afghanistan and its transnational community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom) The background I, along with my wife Veronica Doubleday,1 have been engaged with the music of Afghanistan for the last 35 years. The foundation of my knowledge of Afghan music comes from 2 years fieldwork in Herat, and to a much lesser extent Kabul, in the 1970s. My first foray into the Afghan diaspora was in 1985, making the film Amir: An Afghan refugee musician's life in Peshawar, Pakistan. Since then I have conducted further fieldwork on Afghan music in Peshawar, in Mashad, New York, Herat (in 1994, in the interval between the communists and the Taliban) and Fremont (California). Since the defeat of the Taliban I made four visits to Kabul, where I set up a music school for the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia. The Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK has a Diasporas, Migration & Identities Programme, which in 2006 gave me funding to carry out research Afghan music in London, and London's connections with Kabul, Hamburg (with a very large Afghan colony), and Dublin (with a very small one). My paper today considers some of the more general questions that arise about the circulation of music between Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora that my study raises. This is very much a preliminary report on work in progress.

  • Hindus, Mohammedans Vis-A-Vis Sikhs
    36 HINDUS, MOHAMMEDANS VIS-A-VIS SIKHS Sikhs have generally been working under the Hindu spell that they were created only to defend the Hindu Dharam and Hindu Nation. This purpose having been fulfilled, a section of the Hindus who have never tolerated the independent existence of the Sikhs, have begun to suggest that the Sikhs should better merge now into the Hindu fold. This spell had even created a common aversion amongst the Sikhs towards the Muslims as a whole. It will be worthwhile, therefore, to look into the facts and reality of their mutual relations. Sikhism, the Satguru’s way of life, was founded by Guru Nanak. We have seen that when Guru Nanak started this movement in India, the Aryan and Semitic thoughts and cultures were in conflict. Sometimes it took shape of bloody happenings and aggression and tyranny on the physically and politically weak which were the Hindu Aryans. Guru Nanak struck the middle way. It steered clear of both, though it passed through the middle. It was an independent approach. This is vividly and definitely made clear by the tenth Satguru in his significant Swayya that we recite every evening : Since I have embraced Thy Feet, I have brought no one under my eye : gkfJ rj/ ip s/ s[wo/ sp s/ e'T{ nKy so/ Bjh nkB:' .
