Overall functions of M.A. Library INTRODUCTION LIBRARY A library is regarded as a social institution therefore it is expected lo perform certain functions. Traditional libraries confined themselves lo books, manuscripts and periodical publications. But a modern librar\ acquires variety of items like books, periodical publications, microfilms, slides, audio-cassettes etc. international organization for standardization has defined a library as "irrespective of title, any organized collection of printed books and periodicals or of any other graphic or audio visual materials, and the service of the staff to provide and facilitates the use of such materials are required to meet the research, informational, educational or recreational needs of its users." A.L.A. glossary of library and information science has defined a library as ""a collection of materials organized to provide physical, bibliographical, and intellectual access to a target group, with a staff that is trained to provide services and programmes related to the informational needs of the target group" According to S.R Ranganathan, "a library is a public institute or establishment charged with the care of a collection of books, the duty of making them accessible to those who required the use of them and the task of converting every person in its neighborhood into a habitual library goers and readers of books" thus a library is regarded as a public institution which is also expected to convert the potential readers into actual readers. FUNCTONS OF A LIBRARY A library should provide for: 1. Life long self education. 2. Intbrmalidn documents on all subjects including local, national international affairs to serve economic political and social welfare. 3. Proper use of leisure. 4. Advancement of culture. 5. Preservation of literacy heritage for posterity. TYPES OF LIBRARY The libraries are of the following types 1) National librarv 2) Public librar}' 3) Special library 4) Academic library i) School library ii) College librar>' iii) University library ACADEMIC LIBRARY An academic library is a library attached to an academic institution, i.e. an institution engaged in teaching or research and imparts formal education to students who aspire to complete a particular course under a prescribed syllabus. Schools, colleges, universities and technological ' engineering /medical institutions v/hich may vary from one another m respect to courses offered by them Academic libraries exist to cater the needs and requirements of then- parent academic institution. They vary in shape, size, collection and services, depending upon the nature of the parent institution. For example, libraries attached to a school, college and even to an undergraduate college or a post graduate college or a medical college or an engineering college would be different Irom the rest in respect of the collection, shape, M/C. and services. However all academic libraries have some common qualiiics in many respects. It is because all academic libraries exist to support ihc teaching and research programmes of their parent institutions. I3esRie,s having a good collection of reference books on variety of subjects, these emphasize on building up a strong collection concerning the courses offered by the institution. Academic libraries have become most importain in academic institutions due to changed nature of education. Tremendiuis growth in the student population; opening of new institutions; rapid expansion o[^ education; growing emphasis on qualitative education and high cost of books are some of the factors which necessitates ihc establishment of a well equipped academic library. UNIVERSITY LIBRARY A university library is a library attached to a university. It exists lo cater the needs and requirements of students and teachers and to support the teaching and research programmes of the university. University librar\ is considered as an integral part of a university. This library is different from the other two academic libraries in many respects like size, collection as well as clientele. Need and importance of university libraries has been realized and accepted by many authorities. For example, Kothan commission recognizes a university library as the '"heart of the university" The prime function of the university library is to provide facilities for study and research for all the members of that university. It implies three functions of the university library that is teaching, research and extension services. ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT India is the site of one of the most ancient civiHzations in the world After the settlement of Aryans, a section of intellectuals, the Brahman^ became priests and men of learning. At that time, a university was founded in the city of Gandhara in northwest India, named Takshila University, li i> considered to be the first university in the world. I'akshila Uni\ersit\ acquired an international reputation in the 6' century BC as a centre (^i advanced studies. It was a great centre of learning with a number oi famous teachers and an excellent library. The library collection included works on Hinduism, political science, literature, medicine, and philosophx^ This university and the library was destroyed during invasion of Hunas. In the y^ century BC, Buddhism received great impetus under India's most celebrated ruler Ashoka. At that time, Buddhist monastic institution at Nalanda became owed its foundation to six generations of the Gupta kings. The university had a huge library with a collection of invaluable manuscripts and served over 10.000 students from India and abroad. Nalanda University library was the biggest in Asia. The library ot the Fort William College came into existence in 1800 at Calcutta. 1 he collection included 11.718 printed oriental books, 5,224 European books and 4,253 oriental manuscripts.

Many members of this community shared a history of migration into Gujarat from the southern Arabian Peninsula, north Africa, Iran, Central Asia and the neighboring territories of the Indian subcontinent. I analyze two key aspects related to the making of a community of ii learned Muslim men in the fifteenth century - the production of a variety of texts in Persian and Arabic by learned Muslims and the construction of tomb shrines sponsored by the sultans of Gujarat.

ABSTRACT: As the title suggests the present paper entitled “Poet- laureate of Mughal court of Emperor Akbar: Shaikh Abul Faiz Faizi” primarily deals with the literary personality of Shaikh Abul Faiz Faizi, a literary giant and Poet-laureate at the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar. This paper will unravel the various facets of the features and characteristics of his valuable literary productions which contributed a lot to the development of Indo- Persian literature in the sixteenth century medieval Indian subcontinent. Moreover it sheds light on the importance and relevance of Indo-Persian literature produced by the great scholar even today in the twenty first century modern world of science and technology. Abul Faiz Faizi, the Poet-laureate (Malek ush Sho’ara), was not only a poet but also a great thinker and a brilliant intellectual of sixteenth century medieval Indian subcontinent. Some of his important literary contributions include “Sawati-ul-Ilham” “Tabashir-us-Subah” “Nal- o-Daman” (Nala and Damayanti), “Markaz-e- Adwar” (The centre of circle) “Sulaiman-o-Bilqis” (Solomon and Bilkis) “Haft Kishwar” (The seven zones of the earth) and a voluminous Divan of verses which contains Ghazals qasidas, masnavis and Rubais. The aim of the present paper is to bring into sharper focus on the variety and dimension available in the literary productions of Faizi.

    Shahadat and the Evidence of the Sindhi Marthiya

    285 PART III Relations between Shiʿism and Sufism in other Literary Sufi Traditions 285 286 7 Sufism and Shiʿism in South Asia: Shahādat and the Evidence of the Sindhi marṡiya Michel Boivin In one of the first Sindhi-English dictionaries published in 1879, the word marṡiyo615is translated as follows: ‘An elegy or dirge, particularly one sung during the Muhorrum’.616 In Arabic, the marṡiya is an elegy composed to lament the passing of a beloved person and to celebrate his merits. When did the word enter the Sindhi language? Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer but the spread of the marṡiya in Sindhi literature didn’t start before the 18th century. This paper addresses a double issue. On the one hand, it wishes to introduce the marṡiyas from the countryside. What does that mean? In South Asia, the marṡiya is associated with the court culture of the main states that have flourished in the ruins of the Mughal empire. The leading school of marṡiyas growth in Lucknow, the then capital of the state of Awadh in North India. As a matter of fact, the marṡiyas composed by poets such as Mīr Babar ʿAlī Ānīs (1216–1290/1802–1874) were considered as the ultimate reference for the writing of these elegies in the whole Indian subcontinent. Another centre for the production of marṡiya literature was the State of Hyderabad, in Dekkan. The marṡiyas schools of Hyderabad and Awadh both used Urdu, which was then 615 Although the right word in Sindhi is the masculine marṡiyo, I shall use the Persian and Urdu form marṡiya (Arabic, marthiyya) which is increasingly predominant even in Sindhi literature.

These seats of learning had a good oriental collection in classical languages. In the medieval period, particularly during the Mughal rule, a large number of madrasas were established which had a rich collection in Persian, Arabic and Urdu languages.

    H-Asia Cherian on Sharma, 'Mughal Arcadia: Persian Literature in an Indian Court' Review published on Wednesday, January 16, 2019 Sunil Sharma. Mughal Arcadia: Persian Literature in an Indian Court. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2017. 280 pp. $39.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-674-97585-9. Reviewed by Divya Cherian (Princeton University)Published on H-Asia (January, 2019) Commissioned by Sumit Guha (The University of Texas at Austin) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=51825 Cultivating Paradise: Persian Literature and Mughal Kingship in the Seventeenth Century Mughal Arcadia is a groundbreaking contribution to early modern South Asian history and to the history of Persian literature. Sharma argues that for most of the seventeenth century, particularly in the reigns of Jahangir (r. 1605-27) and Shahjahan (r. 1628-58), the Mughal court fueled the production of a new type of literature in Persian that engaged with place—that is, with the actual locales in which the Mughal court was situated and not just the abstract, idealized ones of inherited Persian literary genres. In Shahjahan’s reign, as Mughal courtly elites and the poets they patronized traveled beyond urban centers, this topographical literature shifted from a focus on cities to an appreciation of the bucolic charms of the countryside. In the seventeenth century, Kashmir, which Akbar incorporated into the Mughal Empire in 1586, was the pastoral locale that came to hold a preeminent place both in the affective ties that bound the Mughal royal family to India, the unfamiliar land that had become their home and territory, and in their representation of their empire to a transregional Persophone audience.
