This is achieved by engaging students in various co-curricular activities throughout their stay at Edwardes. We make sure that our students participate at various fronts during their college life, make friends, learn the importance of working in groups and teams and thus understand the importance of harmonious co-existence. In order to achieve this aim, the college offers several sporting events, societies, clubs and other forums through which students can pursue their interests and strengths to the best of their abilities. In doing so, we ensure that Edwardes is doing all it can to build strong, positive and mature minds who are the future of this country. Edwardes Chronicles has, once again, done a sterling job at chronicling our legacy of this past session. As you journey through the pages of this issue, you cannot help but feel nostalgic about your own college life. Through these annals you will learn all about our Edwardes community, the accomplishments of our students, the various activities they were involved in and the different events that were organised in the college. My heartfelt congratulations to the team of Edwardes Chronicles on the publication of their fourth issue. Keep it up! Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (To the Greater Glory of God) Prof. Brig.

A couple of green coats, Aon their way to college, leave their books and bags on the sidewalk and quickly come to the aid of the poor man; they do not leave until every single vegetable is saved and loaded back onto the bicycle; the poor man's “dair manana” is more than enough for them. Another man in a Suzuki loaded with shoe boxes, strews the contents on the road in front of the press club; four Edwardians, in a posh car behind the Suzuki, rush out to help the man. A car accident on the Saddar road, a huge crowd, a single female - the owner of the damaged car; a former student of Edwardes happens to be in one of the shops, another one passing by, both recognize the female as their teacher and rush to help out. Dear Readers, Compassion is what we need and compassion is what I have witnessed as a growing trait among our students. It makes us think that we, as an institution, must have done something right with these students that their actions reflect such genuine compassion and selflessness. Students! On behalf of my generation to yours, I appreciate and celebrate your compassion towards humanity and hope and pray that you will make us proud by your altruistic ways. This session at Edwardes blossomed with the hustle bustle of numerous activities and events organized by various societies and clubs. Students, bubbling with enthusiasm, participated in these activities and arranged some mega events throughout the academic year which contributed to the physical, psychological, social, civic, linguistic and intellectual development of the students. We bring to you a collage of all these activities in our latest issue of Edwardes Chronicles-with a renewed look. We have renamed some of our segments which look back to the session's major events. Besides, this issue brings, for the first time, an exclusive interview with a former Edwardian in the In Retro section to reconnect with the nostalgic past glory of Edwardes. Moreover, we have added another new segment by the name Tour de Force which celebrates and acknowledges the life struggle of a prominent Edwardian. For this exciting new issue, I would like to extend my genuine appreciation to the Chronicles team. We had a large and diverse team this year with students from intermediate, bachelors, HND and BCS who worked with such perseverance, planning and commitment that I am enthralled by their ingenuity, resourcefulness and conscientiousness. My sincere gratitude goes to the Principal Prof Dr Nayer Fardows, to Asst Prof Nasir Iqbal (HoD English) and to Lecturer Irfan Ullah Khan (Advisor Edwardes Chronicles), for showing unstinting support and profound interest in the publication of this issue.

Once again, in the history of Edwardes College Peshawar, an Edwardian made her mark. Laiba Sehrish Nawaz, a student of literature from 3rd year, took an initiative to step out of the endless cycle of making plans and finally putting her thoughts into actions. Laiba, a public blogger, made a compilation of her prose and poetry and turned it into a book. The book which is entitled “Abduction from the Lethe” is aimed at letting the younger generation know that life will throw lemons at you until you learn to make lemonade. In simpler words, everything in life is supposed to make us grow, thus, nothing should be taken for granted. After teaming up with “Dastaan” - Pakistan's first self-publishing platform - Laiba started a series of pre-order campaign for her book which began in the college itself and received a warm and encouraging response from the students and teachers. A second campaign was arranged at Shelton's Layalina which was also covered by the “Mashriq News.” Where there is a will there is a way. After a successful response, the book has finally been printed and is out now and available in stores. Mustafa Bilal For the first time, Edwardes College arranged an intra-college Spelling Bee Contest this session. Hundreds of students from all years participated enthusiastically in the mini-Spelling Bees out of which top twenty five students qualified for the final Spelling Bee Contest which took place in November 2016. Mustafa Bilal, an English literature student from 3rd year, stood first and made history. Mustafa, on winning Spelling Bee, says, “It was a wonderful experience to be part of the first Spelling Bee Competition ever held in Edwardes College. For a first timer, it exceeded my expectations. The excitement, the confusion, the mental activity and processing to imagine the spelling of the words was all pretty new. It was a good academic cum co- curricular exposure for me.” Syed Talha Haider Syed Talha Haider, from 4th year, is a special student with visual impairment, but his dedication to learning and intellectual abilities are highly commendable. Talha joined Edwardes College in 2013, after doing his matriculation from Fazaia Inter College Kohat (2003-2013). After successfully completing Intermediate, he joined the Bachelors programme at Edwardes with International Relations and Political Science as his major subjects. Talha says, “The biggest challenge in my school was having no friends at all and it just didn't provide me with an environment that I could have benefitted from at the best of my ability; whereas my time in Edwardes was more than anything I could have asked or hoped for. Pointing one particular aspect of how it helped me is not fair; I have the institution, as a whole, to thank in providing me with such amazing and inspiring teachers and great friends. Edwardes has played a huge part in allowing my limited scope to widen and develop”. Talha's best friend at Edwardes is his class fellow Matiullah Hidayat.“Mati”, he says,“is just like a brother to me. He has every quality that a best friend should have:always there when I am in need, trustworthy, jolly and very caring”. Talha's hobbies include: sports, reading, writing, and listening to music. He aims to get into Civil Services.

  • Reham Khan (Memoir)
    Reham Khan (memoir) Reham Khanâ™s memoir of married life with Pakistanâ™s new PM is compelling â“ but should be taken with a pinch of salt. Sonali Kokra. September 3, 2018. The first half of Reham Khan's memoir focuses on her own life, the second half deals with her perception of Imran's. Photo / Supplied. Much ink has been spilled in the media, particularly across India and Pakistan, in the run-up to the release of 45-year-old Reham Khanâ™s self-titled memoir (read our interview with her here). Reham Khan was married to the celebrity cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan for a year in 2015. She self-published her memoir in the summer of 2018, revealing facets of her relationship with Imran Khan and the murky world of Pakistan politics to which she has had a ringside view, taking the world by storm. This edition of her much-discussed book now makes her incredible story available to readers in the Indian Subcontinent. Despite all that Reham Reham Khan is a 2018 controversial memoir written by Reham Khan. She is the former wife of Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. It was published on July 10, 2018 before Pakistani general election, 2018. The book was published by the SK Publications in Pakistan and HarperCollins Publishers in India. Reham called Imran Khan free-loader as he never bought any vegetables. Instead, he got them free from political colleagues like Jahangir Khan Tareen and Tariq Fazal Chaudhary. Other allegations revolve Of course, there is much reason to speculate as to why Reham Khan has decided to go public with her tell-all memoir now.

  • This Paper Focuses on Gender Disparity Behind the Camera, As Seen in Film Industries Worldwide, with a Focus on Contemporary Pakistani Cinema
    This paper focuses on gender disparity behind the camera, as seen in film industries worldwide, with a focus on contemporary Pakistani cinema. Not only is there an obvious lack of gender parity in on-screen film representations, but this disproportionality increases when one looks at the gender of individuals behind the lens. Directors, writers, producers, editors, cinematographers, and composers are just a few of the people who must work y behind the scenes to bring a story to life on the big screen. As in many other industries, women are underrepresented in filmmaking while systemic biases in the film industry inhibit the inclusion of women within all technological departments. This study addresses this inequality by exploring local socioeconomic factors and questions the repercussions of this imbalance on the final screen texts. There has been no previous in- depth analysis of this issue within the Pakistani film industry, hence statistical models are presented using data from mainstream digital films released from 2013 to 2018. This analysis also relies on interviews of individuals currently working in the industry with the goal of including first- Keywords: Gender Disparity, Film Production, Pakistani Cinema, Pakistani Digital Cinema, Female Directors The dominant discourse on gender and film tends to focus on the representation of women on-screen: the unequal power dynamics, the hyper-sexualized objectification, the excessive use of the male gaze, and a conspicuous lack of main-stream female stories. Increasingly though the conversation has started to shift towards issues previously overlooked, including the widening pay gap, misogynistic discrimination and sexual harassment which have led to the emergence of charged global movements such as Me Too and assault in the workplace and more specifically in the film industry.

  • Imran Khan's Shine Won't Last As Pakistan's Prime Minister
    View this email in your browser Dedicated to Democratic Ideals, a progressive and politically stable Pakistan, and strong US-Pakistan relations. induspk.org Subscribe INDUS Newsletter Imran Khan’s Shine Won’t Last as Pakistan’s Prime Minister Michael Kugelman Michael Kugelman is a member of the INDUS Academia & Scholars Panel. ARGUMENT On March 25, 1992, Pakistan experienced one of the greatest moments in its history. Playing before a crowd of nearly 90,000 people on a pitch in Australia, Pakistan’s national cricket team defeated England to win the sport’s world cup. For the first time in its 45-year existence, cricket-mad Pakistan was the champion of the world. Back home, euphoric Pakistanis poured out of their homes to celebrate. It was, in the wordsof cricket writer Mohammad Ramis, “the jubilation of their lives.” Pakistan’s squad was led by 40-year-old team captain Imran Khan, a star batter and bowler then in the twilight of an illustrious career. Fast-forward to today. Khan, now a star politician, is poised to become Pakistan’s next prime minister after his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party triumphed in elections last week. Khan has now pulled off an exceedingly rare feat: He has achieved the highest possible level of success as both an athlete and a politician. Many top (and mediocre) sportspersons have gone into politics, but precious few have gone on to lead governments. As the New York Times has noted, the best analogue to Khan is George Weah: a Liberian soccer star in the 1990s who was elected president in 2017.
