Muslim Saints of South Asia
MUSLIM SAINTS OF SOUTH ASIA This book studies the veneration practices and rituals of the Muslim saints. It outlines the principle trends of the main Sufi orders in India, the profiles and teachings of the famous and less well-known saints, and the development of pilgrimage to their tombs in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A detailed discussion of the interaction of the Hindu mystic tradition and Sufism shows the polarity between the rigidity of the orthodox and the flexibility of the popular Islam in South Asia. Treating the cult of saints as a universal and all pervading phenomenon embracing the life of the region in all its aspects, the analysis includes politics, social and family life, interpersonal relations, gender problems and national psyche. The author uses a multidimen- sional approach to the subject: a historical, religious and literary analysis of sources is combined with an anthropological study of the rites and rituals of the veneration of the shrines and the description of the architecture of the tombs. Anna Suvorova is Head of Department of Asian Literatures at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. A recognized scholar in the field of Indo-Islamic culture and liter- ature, she frequently lectures at universities all over the world. She is the author of several books in Russian and English including The Poetics of Urdu Dastaan; The Sources of the New Indian Drama; The Quest for Theatre: the twentieth century drama in India and Pakistan; Nostalgia for Lucknow and Masnawi: a study of Urdu romance. She has also translated several books on pre-modern Urdu prose into Russian. -

London 1883 Reproduced by: Sani Hussain Panhwar The land of the five rivers and Sindh; Copyright © www.panhwar.com 1 TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST HONORABLE GEORGE FREDERICK SAMUEL MARQUIS OF RIPON, K.G., P.C., G.M.S.I., G.M.I.E., VICEROY AND GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA, THESE SKETCHES OF THE PUNJAB AND SINDH ARE With His Excellency’s Most Gracious Permission DEDICATED. The land of the five rivers and Sindh; Copyright © www.panhwar.com 2 PREFACE. My object in publishing these “Sketches” is to furnish travelers passing through Sindh and the Punjab with a short historical and descriptive account of the country and places of interest between Karachi, Multan, Lahore, Peshawar, and Delhi. I mainly confine my remarks to the more prominent cities and towns adjoining the railway system. Objects of antiquarian interest and the principal arts and manufactures in the different localities are briefly noticed. I have alluded to the independent adjoining States, and I have added outlines of the routes to Kashmir, the various hill sanitaria, and of the marches which may be made in the interior of the Western Himalayas. In order to give a distinct and definite idea as to the situation of the different localities mentioned, their position with reference to the various railway stations is given as far as possible. The names of the railway stations and principal places described head each article or paragraph, and in the margin are shown the minor places or objects of interest in the vicinity. -
Beliefs and Behaviors of Shrine Visitors of Bibi Pak Daman
Journal of Gender and Social Issues Spring 2020, Vol. 19, Number 1 ©Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi Beliefs and Behaviors of Shrine Visitors of Bibi Pak Daman Abstract The present study aims at focusing on what kind of beliefs are associated with the shrine visits that make them visitors believe and behave in a specific way. The shrine selected for this purpose was Bibi Pak Daman, Lahore, Pakistan. The visitors of this shrine were observed using non- participant observation method. Field notes were used to record observations and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Three major themes emerged out of the data. The first major theme of immortality appeared with sub-themes of belief in existence after death, belief in supernatural powers of chaste ladies and objects placed at the shrine. The second theme that emerged consisted of superstitions with the sub-themes of superstitions related to objects and miracles/mannat system. The third theme that emerged was of the beliefs in the light of the placebo effect and the sub-themes included prayer fulfillment, enhanced spirituality and problem resolution. Keywords: Bibi Pak Daman, beliefs, shrine visitors INTRODUCTION Islam has a unique role in meeting the spiritual needs of its followers through Sufism, which is defined as a system of beliefs wherein Muslims search for their spiritual knowledge in the course of direct personal experience and practice of Allah Almighty (Khan & Sajid, 2011). Sufism represents the spiritual dimension of Islam. Sufis played a major role in spreading Islam throughout the sub-continent, sometimes even more than the warriors. In early 12th century, Sufi saints connected the Hindus and Muslims with their deep devotion and love for God as the basic tenet of belief. -

Sindhu Jii Sanjah
G M Syed Sindhudesh A Study In Its Separate Identity Through The Ages (Translation of "Sindhu Ji Saanjah" in Sindhi) PREFACE A considerable span of my life remained in search of Islam, its precepts and practice. Also, while playing a significant role in my country's politics, 1, at times, pondered over the socioeconomic and socio-political problems of our beloved Sindh. My feelings, experiences, knowledge and research on these matters have already been expressed from time to time on different occasions in various publications. On our country's politics, my contributions were published entitled (i) "BIRDS EYE VIEW ON PAKISTAN'S PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE"; (ii) "SINDHU DESH WHY AND WHAT FOR?" [For full text...click here] On religion the other two works (i) "RELIGION AND REALITY" [For full text...click here] and (ii) "ON THE PATH OF MY BELOVED" are worth mentioning. Who-so- ever has read these books, may easily understand the evolution of my approach towards politics and religion. Now, owing to my old age, I am afraid, I will not be in a position to write any more on these subjects separately. So, in this book, I deem it necessary to assimilate the facts and figures summarily. Hoping this may serve to the readers about the crux of the problem aiming at its remedy, which of course, is now the sole objective of my life. SINDHU DESH is that part of the Indian Subcontinent to It's Nature has entrusted from time immemorial a vast area of rich and cultivable land, with plenty of water flowing in the river Indus as also, with a bounty of long seashore, which enabled the natives of this land to acquire a rich heritage of refined culture and civilization, for their citizens in the pre- historic period of this region. -

2.3 Geological Survey 2.3.1 Scope of Work 2.3.2 Program of Investigations
Preparatory Survey (II) on Karachi Circular Railway Revival Project Final Report 2.3 Geological Survey The geological survey was carried out to determine subsoil conditions along the route of Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) in Karachi. The survey included boring survey at specified locations along the rout of KCR. The subsoil samples were collected from the boring, and laboratory tests were conducted. The survey analysis is based on 90 boreholes (24 boreholes of 15 m in depth, 44 boreholes of 20 m in depth) and the laboratory test results. The fieldwork was carried out from April 09, 2012 to July 28, 2012. The geotechnical conditions and parameters for the development of the proposed infrastructure and facilities are recommended in this section. 2.3.1 Scope of Work The scope of work for the geotechnical survey is as follows: (1) Core drilling with Testing Core drilling will be made for bedrock, soil and unconsolidated deposits that may contain boulders. The diameter of the boreholes shall be not less than 60 mm. Every effort shall be made for 100% core recovery. Standard penetration tests (SPT), in accordance with ASTM D1586 or the equivalent, shall be carried out every 1.0 m of depth in the sections of bore holes which are located within soils, unconsolidated deposits or intensively weathered rocks, to evaluate the mechanical strength of those materials. Undisturbed sample shall be obtained with appropriate equipment and shall be sent to the laboratory for the purpose of the obtaining data to determine physical and mechanical properties of the soils. Permeability test shall be carried out by piezometer method to determinate hydraulic properties of aquifer in boreholes.
