  • Physical Geography of the Punjab
    19 Gosal: Physical Geography of Punjab Physical Geography of the Punjab G. S. Gosal Formerly Professor of Geography, Punjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ Located in the northwestern part of the Indian sub-continent, the Punjab served as a bridge between the east, the middle east, and central Asia assigning it considerable regional importance. The region is enclosed between the Himalayas in the north and the Rajputana desert in the south, and its rich alluvial plain is composed of silt deposited by the rivers - Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chanab and Jhelam. The paper provides a detailed description of Punjab’s physical landscape and its general climatic conditions which created its history and culture and made it the bread basket of the subcontinent. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Herodotus, an ancient Greek scholar, who lived from 484 BCE to 425 BCE, was often referred to as the ‘father of history’, the ‘father of ethnography’, and a great scholar of geography of his time. Some 2500 years ago he made a classic statement: ‘All history should be studied geographically, and all geography historically’. In this statement Herodotus was essentially emphasizing the inseparability of time and space, and a close relationship between history and geography. After all, historical events do not take place in the air, their base is always the earth. For a proper understanding of history, therefore, the base, that is the earth, must be known closely. The physical earth and the man living on it in their full, multi-dimensional relationships constitute the reality of the earth. There is no doubt that human ingenuity, innovations, technological capabilities, and aspirations are very potent factors in shaping and reshaping places and regions, as also in giving rise to new events, but the physical environmental base has its own role to play.

  • Facts and Fears--- National Perspective
    46 Ancient Punjab – Volume 5, 2017 REGIONALISM--- FACTS AND FEARS--- NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Muhammad Hameed & Muzaffar Ahmad ABSTRACT This paper will discuss the history and future of preservation of cultural regionalism in Pakistan. It will take into focus the facts and fears in order to get a more concrete understanding of the issues involved. Pakistan is a country which came into being on basis of an ideology. We have a long history of promoting ideological nationalism vs. regionalism. The apparent failure in imposing this on the majority population with diverse and deep rooted regional cultural affiliations over a prolonged period of time gave rise to a gradual change in thinking pattern of the Academia and decision makers. This change in attitude reflected in the slogan of “Unity in Diversity” which is slowly but firmly gaining roots in current thinking pattern of masses and elite. “Unity in Diversity” means Pakistan would not be a melting pot of different ethno- linguistic cultures and sub cultures into a single entity. Rather Pakistan would be house to a national culture alongside diverse regional cultures. “Diversity maintains Unity” will be the guiding principle and it could be the best tool to produce national integrity. Keywords: Culture, Regionalism Heritage, Preservation, Pakistan HISTORY OF DEBATE OVER PRESERVING REGIONAL CULTURES VS. PROMOTING A NATIONAL CULTURE In a recent research done at COMSATS institute of Information technology, Abbottabad researchers conclude that: “…Research findings show an existence of a cultural diversity among different provinces of Pakistan…The distinctive provincial culture of Pakistan, despite its similarities and differences across other provinces makes a unique national culture.” (Moshadi and Amjad 2011:331-344) The picture is not as black and white as shown in this research.

  • Water Management Issues of Pakistan Centre for South Asian Studies
    0 Water Management Issues of Pakistan By Ejaz Ahmad Sayal PhD Dissertation (Copy without Maps and Figures for plagiarism scrutiny) Centre for South Asian Studies, University of the Punjab Lahore Pakistan 1 Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Significance Water is one of the greatest bounties of Allah. Allah says in holy Quran "And we made from water everything living" Holy Quran (21:30). It has been precious commodity throughout ages, the development, management and policy in water resources had been practiced in different civilizations. Romans were one of the earliest civilizations to construct extensive aqueducts and other urban water delivery system. In Middle East, thousands of years ago, irrigation projects were developed. Land between Tigris and Euphrates rivers was known as Fertile Crescent. In China, 600 B.C and earlier canals were used for transport of water and goods to different parts. Since history, waterwheels diverted water for agricultural uplift. Centuries ago waterwheel technology played pivotal role in transforming Western European economy. Scarcity of water compelled people for mass migration throughout history or even civilizations like Moenjodaro, Harappa and Hakara Valley in Pakistan extinguished due to prolonged acute shortage of water in spite of proper drainage clues. Indus valley is a cradle of ancient civilization. By excavation, its ruins reveal that there were lavatories, drainages, fresh water wells and tanks at 5000 pre historic period. The ancient people of Indus valley were proficient in the field of agriculture and industry as compared to Egypt and Mesopotamia. Thar Desert, which still lack modern facilities, adopts centuries old water harvesting system, stonewalls, cistern, dams, water holes and tanks captured enough storm water for living in desert.

    JPS: 11:2 Schreffler: Vernacular Music and Dance of Punjab Vernacular Music and Dance of Punjab Gibb Stuart Schreffler U.C. Santa Barbara ______________________________________________________ The field of Punjabi music is marked by an interaction between Punjabi music as contemporary practice and Punjabi music as people imagine it. In order to understand the state of vernacular music in Punjab it is instructive to devise a classificatory schema consisting of a few objectively determined, yet liberally conceived, musical subtypes. Following such a framework, this paper will describe how Punjabi musical activity manifests within each category, as well as how it has changed over time. Special note is taken of how ideas held about Punjabi vernacular music have themselves affected the development of music to its present form. Through a review of existing scholarship on Punjabi music it will be possible to delineate areas of future research. ______________________________________________________ Music is one of many realms that distinguishes Punjab1 as a cultural area. Given its importance, music is a mode through which Punjabis display their identity. Vernacular music and dance of Punjab both embody regional characteristics of the Punjab and index change in its society over time. The stories about Punjabi identity that are narrated through music evoke images which Punjabis use to particularize their ethnicity both within the Punjab and in diasporic communities around the globe. However, interpretive notions such as "traditional" and "modern," with which audiences assess the quality and "correctness" of musical performances, tell us more about how they perceive their own identity as Punjabis than they tell us about the music's stylistic classification.

  • Riparian Rights: a Case Study of India and Pakistan
    RIPARIAN RIGHTS: A CASE STUDY OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN By Muhammad Nawaz Roll No. PKS-08-03 Supervised By Prof. Dr. Muhammad Farooq A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Pakistan Studies Department of Pakistan Studies, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan Dedicated to My Parents ii Abstract Fresh water is vital to the economies and societies of countries, especially to those which lie in the arid climatic regions. The issue of water scarcity in certain regions of the world has led to an expectation of international conflict based upon the increasing competition for fresh water. One example is the confrontation between India and Pakistan over shared waters of the Indus River System. This study aims to enhance our understanding regarding the Indus Water dispute. Immediately, after the partition of Indian sub-continent into two independent and sovereign states of India and Pakistan in 1947, water became a focal point between the two nations. Being an upper riparian and having the control of headworks, India stopped water into all canals flowing into Pakistan. This action made Pakistan more conscious about its water rights because the Indus River System is source of life for Pakistan. In this context, this study traces the origin of water dispute between Pakistan and India from the partition of the Punjab. It further explores how water dispute was settled under the auspices of the World Bank and Indus Water Treaty was signed in 1960. It also provides a detailed picture of consequent developments of water infrastructure in the region and emerging challenges to Indus Water Treaty.
