Envious eyes, corrupt leaders, the ghost known as ‘War against terrorism’ and the New Great Game, also somewhat of the Heartland theory have, unfortunately, lead to its economic downfall though. My name is Moiz Shaukat. I’m a motivational/Ted x speaker, social activist and Entrepreneur. I run Moiz Shaukat Foundation (a charity providing platform) as I’m a philanthropist by nature. I am 19 years of age, however, I feel that am intellectually aware enough to show you the ‘real’ Pakistan from my eyes. 6 So as I was saying, only from a typical analyst’s point of view, many factors have snatched the 70+ year old Pakistan of its initial valour, economic/geographic power and needless to mention, its prestige. Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan simplifies those factors in the most beautiful and comprehensive ways. During his first visit to U.S.A he mentioned the following root causes of decline in his speech (adding some of my own points here too):- 1) Leaders were never accountable 2) Merit system not nepotism should be there 3) Foreign loans were unnecessary and made us look like beggars 4) Lost honour made us the scapegoat of ‘War against Terrorism’ (9/11 incident) 5) Education and health system have also been negatively impacted by corruption 6) High inflation/hyperflation coupled with stagnant economic growth 7) Riyasat e Madinah/ Shariah law has not been implemented throughout the lands 8) Modern education and technology have not reached us yet due to not so strong foreign relations with other countries 9) Balochistan unexploited 10) Tourist potential unexploited How it all began I am not going to bore you with history related facts that can be found on google or in any other book greater than this one. I will give you an analyst’s perspective by asking you if what happened ‘should have’ happened or not. Was the EIC Company wrong to have misused their powers? Was the 1857 War of 7 Independence not only a rebellious act from the part of the subcontinent residents or a foolish act as well? Would we have been better off if Pakistan was never made? The subcontinent, that was referred to as ‘a sprawling giant of a country’ by one of our late British rulers was perhaps an excellent way to describe our land. This is because it was not only huge, it was powerful. The Mughal emperors, even with hearts polluted by greed and lifestyles unidealistic due to lavishness, they did a great job. Some were unhappy under their reign, yes. But most were content. There was honor. Lots of it. Yes, we lacked railways, guns and big ships, but we were a happy lot. Buddha even, he was born in India. You know him as a wise man from History, Comparative religion and Philosophy books, right? This is only one example of how the subcontinent loved wisdom and had a passion for learning. Some of the emperors themselves were excellent painters and loved astronomy and mathematics. Education was pure at that time. Similar to how Socrates (and other philosophers) strongly believed that something as pure as education should never be monetized, the people of the sub-continent believed so too. The learned for the sake of learned. They loved challenging their minds. Simply beautiful way of living. This ‘sprawling giant’ that was mostly cut off from the rest of world due to less communication networks, was doing fine on its own…till it was discovered.. Let’s bring you back to present for a few moments and talk about the current education system in Pakistan. O and A levels are seen as quality education here, right? It’s a British system? How much are the fees? There you go. You have spotted one major negative impact of greed that lead to exploitation of both Pakistani parents and students. This is one hint of how our downfall began. Teachers are victims too no doubt and the government is to blame as well. But the roots? Monetizing education was never a good idea in the first place. Want to be a good competition for U.S.A’s education system? Start by copying them. In the U.S, education till 12th grade/highschool is free. And if we must follow Cambridge, then the least we could do is make education system free till A 8 levels. Yes, corrupt leaders and exploiters will hate me for giving this suggestion, but its integral to be highlighted. USA even has GED, GRE, SAT, ACT and diploma system/short courses for those who want to make a good career but had to stop midway, due to financial issues or death of a parent perhaps. This should also be implemented in Pakistan. History and Ethnic Relations Emergence of the Nation. For many years India sought independence from Great Britain. During most of those years the Muslim League of India was also striving to establish an independent Islamic nation. The Muslim leader was Ali Jinnah from as early as 1916; in 1940 he began advocating and working for a separate Muslim state. When the British finally agreed to India's independence and withdrew in 1947, Pakistan became a Muslim nation, with Ali Jinnah as its first governor- general. Originally it was divided into two parts. The nation now called Pakistan was then called West Pakistan, and on the opposite side of India, some 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) away, was another Muslim area, designated East Pakistan. In 1956 Pakistan became a republic. In 1971 East Pakistan waged a successful war of independence from West Pakistan and became the independent nation of Bangladesh. While the history of Pakistan as an independent nation dates only to 1947, the history of the territory it encompasses dates back many thousands of years, during the period when the territory was a portion of the Indian subcontinent. In addition, the land is home to the famous Khyber Pass, which is the route that many invaders into India used. These include Mogul invaders and Alexander the Great. Many centuries ago a number of Buddhists also used that northern section as a route, so Pakistan today has many interesting Buddhist sites and historical notes as part of its history. Punjab is also a portion of the country; it was the home of the founder of the Sikh religion, and it continues to play a significant role in Pakistan. Lines of demarcation between India and Pakistan in northern border areas are unclear in places or in dispute, and controversy continues to surround these lines. 9 National Identity. The national identity of Pakistan today is that of an Islamic nation; it was created as such. However, because the territory that is now Pakistan has a history that goes back several thousand years, the area has a history that forms part of the present identity of Pakistan. That is one of the reasons why both residents and visitors find the relatively young nation of Pakistan historically interesting and why the national identity includes many sites and stories that are centuries older than the nation itself. Ethnic Relations. There are at least five ethnic groups within Pakistan. In general, there are not continuous or frequent problems between the different ethnic groups other than ethnic tensions in Sind, which occur somewhat regularly. Our neighbours It is aptly said that if you don't know from where you have started, then how would you appreciate that where you have reached. The comparison of the Nehru Report and Jinnah's 14 points clearly shows that it was the Indian National Congress, who sowed the seeds of this brutal and bloody partition. Since then India has been chanting its hollow and baseless "secularism". Now by scrapping the article 370 from her rather absurd Indian Constitution, the two national theory, is again revised, refreshed and stands firm on its ground even after 71 years of independence. Instead of building up our senseless and enthusiastic national narrative, we badly need to look back and peep into our forgotten history. Let me link the above with the current state of Indian Occupied Kashmir. What right do any of us, India or Pakistan have over them? Does the U.N or United States fit the image of ‘ideal arbitrator’? What about the silence of other Muslim countries? Currently (August 8th 2019), the situation of Kashmir is way past worrisome.

  • Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU
    Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9).

Title Ms. Shabnam Irshaad . Typesetting Mr. Muhammad Usman Mr. Shahzad Akram ii Preface On behalf of AIOU and the course team, I appreciate and welcome you to the course “Introduction to Environment”. The word “environment” is usually understood to mean the surrounding conditions that affect people and other organisms. In broader definition, environment is everything that affects an organism during its lifetime. Environmental science stands at the interface between human and earth. It is an interdisciplinary as well as multidisciplinary study that describes problems caused by human use of the natural world. It also seeks remedies for these problems. Learning about this complex field of study helps to understand three things. First, it is important to understand the natural processes (both physical and biological) that operate in the world. Second, it is important to appreciate the role that technology plays in our society and its capacity to alter natural processes. Third, it helps to understand the complex social processes that characterize human populations. The different units of this course will lead you to an understanding of the relationships between the physical and human components of the systems and the Earth’s processes that change the surface of the earth.

  • An Analysis of Cultural Load in English Textbooks Taught in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
    NUML Journal of Critical Inquiry Vol 12 (II) December, 2014 ISSN 2222-5706 An Analysis of Cultural Load in English Textbooks Taught in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Azhar Habib Abstract The present study is related to the incorporation of native, target and international culture in the reading texts of the textbooks taught at Secondary School Certificate level in the government schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (henceforth KPK, one of the provinces in the country), Pakistan. In order to explore the contents of the textbooks and to determine their cultural load, help is taken from Byram’s (1993) checklist. The present research is a qualitative study with theory based content analysis. The results of the study indicate that a balanced amount of reading texts about native, target and international culture are provided in the textbook of class 9 as far as the number of texts is concerned. There are 14 reading texts in the textbook of class 09 in which 04 texts are related to source culture, 03 texts are about target culture and 03 are related to international culture. Nonetheless, 04 reading texts are such which do not come in any category. However, the cultural load of the reading texts pertaining to native culture has been dealt with more depth than the other two cultures in terms of quantity within the texts. Likewise, in the textbook of class 10, there is a lack of balance regarding cultural load. There are 13 reading texts in the textbook of class 10 in which 07 texts are about native culture, 03 texts are about target culture and only 01 text is about international culture.
