Under foreign rule for over a century, in the very nature of things, I regret, sufficient attention has not been paid to the education of our people, and if we are to make any real speedy and substantial progress, we must earnestly tackle this question and bring our educational policy and program on the lines suited to the genius of our people, consonant with our history and culture, and having regard to the modern conditions and vast developments that have taken place all over the world. There is no doubt that the future of our Stat will and must greatly depend upon the type of education and the way in which we bring up our children as the future servants of Pakistan. Education does not merely mean academic education, and even that appears to be of a very poor type. What we have to do is to mobilize our people ad build up the character of our future generations. There is immediate and urgent need for training our people in the scientific and technical education in order to build up future economic life, and we should see that our people undertake scientific commerce, trade and particularly, well planned industries. But do not forget that we have compete with the world, which is moving very fast in this direction. In short, we have to build up the character of our future generations which means highest sense of honor, integrity, selfless service to the nation, and sense of responsibility, and we have to see that they are fully qualified or equipped to play their part in the various branches of economic life in a manner which will do honor to Pakistan.” -Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s message at the First National Education Conference, Karachi, 27 Nov-1 Dec 1947 BACHA KHAN’S MESSAGE Abdul Ghaffar Khan was born on February 06,1890 in Utmanzai, Hashtnagar, and was died on January 20, 1988 at the age of 97 at Peshawar. He is known as Bacha Khan. He was a Pashtun independence activist who worked to end the rule of the British Raj in India. He was a political and spiritual leader known for his nonviolent opposition; he was a lifelong pacifist and devout Muslim.. Its success triggered a harsh crackdown by the British Raj against him and his supporters, and they suffered some of the most severe repression of the Indian independence movement. Bacha Khan founded the Khudai Khidmatgar movement in 1929. It was a Pashtun non-violent movement against the British Empire by the Pashtun people of the North- West Frontier Province (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) of British India (now in Pakistan). Also called Surkh Posh or "Red Shirts", this was originally a social reform organization focusing on education and the elimination of blood feuds; it was known as the Anjuman-e-Islah-e Afghania (society for reformation of Afghans). The movement was led by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, known locally as Bacha Khan or Badshah Khan. 4 CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE In the wake of globalization, it is heartening to witness the institutions of higher learning in our beloved motherland. Struggling hard to keep pace with demands of market internationally. Indeed, the public sector universities in our province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa also bear no exception in this respect rather seem to be comparatively more ambitious towards attainment of the goals, in line with their charters, despite being faced with difficult circumstances. Beyond doubt quality always prevails when it comes to competition in every field of life and we wish that the graduates coming out from our seats of higher learning may be second to none in all respects. The establishment of Bacha Khan University, Charsadda is no doubt a challenging way forward in our quest to abreast our youngsters with knowledge of desired standards. I am also cognizant of the fact that since its establishment in 2012, some progress has been attained both in respect of infrastructure and academic development but a lot still needs to be done which is a challenging task. I wish every success to the institution, its management, faculty and the students, alike to find congenial environment or peace, tranquility and unity in coming up to the expectations. MESSAGE OF SECRETARY, HED The 21st century is marked with globalization, making knowledge also a shared and joint asset. Basic information, the present base of knowledge and advance research work is now available on the internet to all and sundry around the global village. One only needs to have possession of the basic information technology and elementary knowledge of operating the same for getting benefit from the vast bank of knowledge available. The Higher Education Department (HED) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is serving the nation and producing Scholars and Scientists for the country. The theme of the Department is “Education for all” without distinguishing religion, cast, and states. The Higher Education Department (HED) not only producing curricular activities but also polishing the generation by extra-curricular activities. A new education philosophy evolved and the curriculum was developed to suit the needs of the multi ethnic, multi religious and multi lingual society. The aims of education took a different dimension of developing a balance personality in a pluralistic society. New innovations are being added to the system providing educational opportunities, opening a gateway to the student population to cope with the developments of the 21st century knowledge society. Today the development of technology, particular the application of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized learning methodologies. It has immensely facilitated the dissemination of knowledge enabling to usher in a learning society. The government is keen on using this technology to introduce e-governance which will bring government services to the door- step of the people. The improvement of Information Communication Technology (ICT) education is a priority. New models of Results based Management (RBM) highlighting the importance of the outcome of the educational activities are being introduced to the system gradually in keeping with the modern trends of education. 5 MESSAGE FROM VICE CHANCELLOR Welcome to the Bacha Khan University, Charsadda.

  • Point of View
    Centre for Mediterranean, Middle East & Islamic Studies University of Peloponnese www.cemmis.edu.gr 26 January 2016 PointPoint ofof viewview Why Bacha Khan University? Antagonism against Modern Education! Iftikhar H. Malik * There are many reasons to condemn and agonise over Pakistani Taliban’s wanton attack on Bacha Khan University in Charsadda on 20 January, causing twenty-one deaths and injuring more than thirty people, but two definitely stand out singularly. This private institution of higher learning was named after a great humanitarian and eminent freedom fighter, who avowedly believed in non-violence that he practised even before Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) made it into his unique creed. Khan, a towering and no less charismat- ic personality, began his long political career during the stormy day of the Khilafat Movement when Indian Muslims were deeply astir over events in the Ottoman caliphate. Exhortations for tolerance, non-violent resistance, modern education and an austere life endeared Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (1890-1988) across South Asia besides earning him a well deserved title, Bacha Khan—the King Khan. Charsadda was his birth place though the illustrious Khan willed to be buried in Jalalabad underlining his lifelong desire to solidify his ideas among fellow Pashtuns--often derisively called Pathans by the Raj and others. Not only this massacre of two teachers and nineteen students happened on Khan’s death anniversary, it callously took place in his very town as well and presumably the four perpe- trators and their backers claiming responsibility for this heinous crime happened to be fel- low Pashtuns for whom he had devoted his entire life.

    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 19, Number 3, 2016 Interplay of Two Socio-Political Movements: Khudai Khidmatgar Movement and Independence Movement Nauman Reayat Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan Anwar-ul-Mujahid Shah Bacha Khan University Charsadda, Pakistan Usman Ali Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan INTRODUCTION The North West Frontier Province lies in the North of Pakistan, with Afghanistan to its West, Punjab and Kashmir to its East, and Baluchistan to its South. The region “designated” by the colonial rulers of India as the North-West Frontier Province has played a significant role in the making of Indian history. From the annexation of the Punjab in 1849 until 1901, the Pashto-Speaking Frontier districts of Peshawar, Kohat, Banu, Hazara and Dera Ismail Khan remained within Punjab province. The Punjab had also control over the border tracts of Malakand, Khyber, Kurram, North Waziristan and South Waziristan. Lord Curzon the Viceroy of India had the knowledge of the area. He was well aware of the fact that for better administration, NWFP should be separated from the Punjab. Thus, as a result of Curzon’s initiative, on 9th November, 1901 the North West Province came into being(Bakhsi, 1992). The Khudai Khidmatgar movement emerged as strong political force in NWFP. It was founded by Abdul Ghaffar Khan commonly known as Bacha Khan. He was born in 1890 at Utmanzai (Charsada) in the Peshawar district. He was the fourth child of his parents(ibid). His father Bahram Khan was a well-to-do landowner of Mohammadzai clan. He received his early education in Peshawar.

  • Vegetation and Climate Dynamics in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (NW Pakistan), Inferred from the Pollen Record of the Kabal Valley in Swat District During the Last 3300 Years

We present a pollen-based palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the past 3300 years in the Kabal Valley of Swat District in the Hindu Kush mountains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, north-western Paki- stan. We studied the pollen record from 38 samples taken from a 150 cm long radiocarbon-dated sediment core in order to analyse the vegetation history of the area. Only the upper 76 cm of the core, with 20 samples recording the last 3300 years, had sufficiently preserved pollen. Conifers such as Pinus, Picea, Abies, Cedrus and Taxus, and herbs belonging to Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Amaranthaceae were found consistently throughout the period, at varying abundance. The vegetation reconstruction revealed that Cyperaceae and Poaceae dominated the conifers from 3300 to 300 cal yr BP. The decrease in herbaceous vegetation (mainly Poaceae) from 2400 to 1500 cal yr BP, and its increase from 1500 to 1200 cal yr BP, indicate contraction followed by expansion of grassland in the Kabal Valley of Swat, pointing to corresponding dry-cool and wet-warm periods.

In tracing his socio-educational and historical journey, the paper documents that Bacha Khan wanted modern education for the Pakhtuns, so they could compete with other nations of the world. The paper argues that Bacha Khan’s educational philosophy was in consonance with the Islamic philosophy of life, inculcating peace and tolerance amongst the masses for eradicating detrimental customs and traditions practiced through generations. Through education, Bacha Khan wanted to channel bigotry, hatred and revengefulness for bringing peace and harmony in the Pakhtun community and he worked tirelessly to support women, their right to education and inheritance. The paper explicates Bacha Khan’s continued emphasis on technical and vocational education so that the Pakhtuns get and settle in appropriate jobs and thereby serve the society. The paper discusses reformation of Pakhtun society as a great challenge that persists even after sixty-six years of independence.

Drawing from the words and wisdom of Gandhi and Bacha Khan, this paper examines identity issues particularly in the context of (i) gender (disparities and struggles of women (and girls) in the society); (ii) age (situation and contributions of youths and elderly people in bringing about changes); (iii) class (including occupational and caste-based complexities and their negotiations); (iv) ethnicity (struggles of indigenous populations in overcoming situated adversities); (v) religion (tensions and acts of negotiating religious orthodoxies towards creating more secular society); and (vi) regional identities (roles of regional identities in fostering local development). Grounded in their philosophies and pedagogies, the paper discusses the contributions of the two visionaries and their epistemologies/ideologies in studying and/or addressing the issues of contemporary world.
