THREE HITHERTO UNREPORTED MACRO-FUNGI FROM KASHMIR HIMALAYA SHAUKET AHMED PALA*, ABDUL HAMID WANI, ROUF HAMZA BODA AND RIYAZ AHMED MIR Section of Mycology and Plant Pathology, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Hazratbal-190006. *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Himalayan state, Jammu and Kashmir due to its climate ranging from tropical deciduous forests to temperate and coniferous forests provides congenial habitat for the growth of diverse macro fungal species which in turn gives it the status of ‘hub’ of macro-fungal species. The macro fungal species richness of the state is directly related to its expansive forest communities and diverse weather patterns, but all the regions of the state have not been extensively surveyed till now. In this backdrop, a systematic survey for exploration and inventorization of macro fungal species of Western Kashmir Himalaya was undertaken during the year 2009 and 2010, which in turn resulted identification of the three species viz., Thelephora caryophyllea (Schaeff.) Pers., Coltricia cinnamomea (Pers.) Murr., and Guepinia helvelloides Fr. as new reports from the Kashmir. These species were identified on the basis of macro and microscopic characters and also the aid of taxonomic keys, field manuals, mushroom herbaria and help from expert taxonomists in the related field was taken into account. Introduction et al., 2010). The present communication describes the general distribution, brief morphological description, Since the dawn of civilizations, mushrooms have macro and microscopic details and edibility of three been fascinating man due to their unusual characters like newly reported species of macro-fungi from Kashmir sudden appearance in isolated places in groups, rings and Himalaya.

Acknowledgement Lakes and Water bodies are one of the most important natural resources of our State. Apart from being most valuable natural habitat for number of flora and fauna, these lakes and Water bodies are the life line for number of communities of our state. No systematic scientific study for monitoring and planning of these lakes and water bodies was carried out and more than 90%of our lakes and water bodies are till date neglected altogether. The department realized the need of creating the first hand information long back in 1998 and prepared the Directory of lakes and water bodies using Survey of India Topographical Maps on 1:50,000.With the advent of satellite technology the study of these lakes and water bodies has become easier and the task of creating of information pertaining to these lakes and water bodies using latest high resolution data along with Survey of India Topographical Maps and other secondary information available with limited field checks/ground truthing has been carried out to provide latest information regarding the status of these lakes and water bodies.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.

  • A Decisive Turn in the Secessionist Movement in Kashmir
    A decisive turn in the secessionist movement in Kashmir Mr. Sajjad Lone has taken high risk by contesting the Lok Sabha election. It is a bold decision taken by martyred Abdul Gani Lone's son. Mirwaiz Omar Farooq and his cohorts in the Hurriyat "will have to carefully consider shrinking options they are left with". By G L Jalali Sajjad Gani Lone, the son of slain Abdul Gani Lone, is an important secessionist leader who heads Political Conference founded by his father in late seventies. He has been active in the secessionist politics since the outbreak of Muslim insurgency in the Valley. Long back he parted his company with the Hurriyat Conference because of certain differences with the Hurriyat top-brass. Recently he declared in a press conference that he would contest the Lok Sabha elections. His decision to contest the Lok Sabha election marks a decisive turn in the secessionist movement in the Valley which has been witnessing unprecedented violence. Mr. Sajad Lone's father Abdul Gani Lone was slain in a very tragic manner. He was in favour of dialogue between India and the separatist leaders to resolve the Kashmir issue. Pakistan's ISI was particular that the Islamabad be also associated with the talks. In mid-April 2002 Mr. Lone travelled to Sharjah for discussions with PoK leader Abdul Qayoom Khan and the ISI Chief Lieutenant General Ehsan-ul-Haq. Mr. Lone was reported to have apprised that the Hurriyat wanted to "open the way for direct dialogue with New Delhi to resolve the crisis." If the Indian Government is not ready to allow self-determination, the alternative is that it should be ready to settel the dispute through a meaningful dialogue involving all parties concerned, suggested the Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Lone " ( Praveen Swami in the Hindu, April 17,2009 ).
