    185 In Remembrance In Remembrance Mulk Raj Anand 1905-2004 Mulk – A Dear Friend As I pen this name, Mulk Raj Anand, (Mulk as we called him) a number of images flash across my mind. Was he a man or was he a phenomenon? One thing can be said for certain: he lived his life on his own terms – I wonder why God deprived him of completing his century of life? I had the good fortune of being his personal friend. I cannot remember how it happened but this friendship propelled me into a spate of opportunities to be with him when he met the big and mighty and when he walked to feel the weak and lowly of the society. Whenever he came to Chandigarh, he always found time to turn up in my humble residence, perch himself on his favourite seat in the drawing room, the place of prominence from where he could preside over everybody in the room. Immediately on entering, he would start dilating on the topic he had been ruminating over in his mind, and the knowledge would flow through his vocal chords ceaselessly punctuated with many expletives, and telling everybody how unconcerned they all were about the evils of society and about the lack of positive action on their part. He often asked me, why don’t I write a book on Chandigarh and why don’t I write papers and so on. I did pen a booklet – Chandigarh, a presentation in free verse – and he listened to it with great patience and said ‘we shall publish it via Marg Publications’.

  • Making Heritage in the Walled City of Lahore
    Conservation-Led Marginalization: Making Heritage in the Walled City of Lahore Jannat Sohail Urban Studies Supervisor: Maroš Krivý May 25, 2020 Abstract The emerging trajectory of conservation and urban revitalization in the Walled City of Lahore is indicative of its preference for tourism. The shift in the objectives of conservation towards utilizing cultural heritage as a capital resource for negotiating meanings, representations, power, and politics promotes conservation-led marginalization. This is not limited to physical dispossession in the inner- city, but also involuntary social exclusion and the loss of access or restrictions on livelihood opportunities. The pattern of state-sanctioned attempts to render collective ownership of heritage capitalizes on the mediations with national and international institutions to authenticate their decision- making. The role of UNESCO as a status-defined marketing tool in lobbying the local heritage industry, as well as a source of global governance, is understated. The nature and conditions of ‘heritage’ conservation schemas require critical attention, while pivotal questions need to be addressed regarding its rhetorical deployment. The objective of the research is to explore the nature, scope, and effect of the multifaceted national and international institutional framework in the definition, production, consumption, and making of heritage. Keywords: heritage industry, bureaucracy, international agencies, marginalization. 2 Copyright Declaration I hereby declare that: 1. the present Master’s thesis is the result of my personal contribution and it has not been submitted (for defence) earlier by anyone else; 2. all works and important viewpoints by other authors as well as any other data from other sources used in the compilation of the Master’s thesis are duly acknowledged in the references; 3.

  • An Analysis of the Components of Self-Realization in Sadequain's Poetry
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 56, Issue No. 2 (July – December, 2019) Aqsa Malik* An Analysis of the Components of Self-Realization in Sadequain’s Poetry and Paintings Abstract Self-realization has been an age old conceptual paradigm and echoes in almost all of the major religions mystical traditions and philosophical ideas. In an attempt to integrate man with the larger reality, the paradigm endorses an uplifting of self from a personal dimension of life towards an impersonal one. Sadequain has been one of the few painters who combined the art of painting with a vision to change man. A closer analysis of his works reveals that his intent has been to induce self- realization in the viewer. This paper explores into the theme of self-realization as used by Sadequain. It suggests that Sadequain introduced this theme in three components. The first component established a critique of morally bankrupt man, the second, provided a vision to be actualized and third defined the nature of human strength required for achieving the goal. These components are observable in his poetry and paintings and together they define the mechanism of self- realization. Introduction Sadequain has a distinct identity as an artist which owes to both his content and style. His art can be clearly seen as a real-time manifestation of what he thought and felt in relation to life and its adversities. We observe that he combined ideas from philosophy, mysticism and religion and then rephrased their essence in a visual form. According to Faiz Ahmad Faiz, in Sadequain‟s work „one finds the elements of evolutionary philosophy put forth by modern intellectuals but the way he articulated these is a creative act of his own mind similar in spirit to life itself; untiring and continuous‟.1 The available literature briefly documents Sadequain‟s life and analyzes his work, however, his work has not been analyzed from a macro perspective.
