    Politics of Accession in the Undivided India: A Case Study of Nawwab Mushtaq Gurmani’s Role in the Accession of the Bahawalpur State to Pakistan Pir Bukhsh Soomro ∗ Before analyzing the role of Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani in the affairs of Bahawalpur, it will be appropriate to briefly outline the origins of the state, one of the oldest in the region. After the death of Al-Mustansar Bi’llah, the caliph of Egypt, his descendants for four generations from Sultan Yasin to Shah Muzammil remained in Egypt. But Shah Muzammil’s son Sultan Ahmad II left the country between l366-70 in the reign of Abu al- Fath Mumtadid Bi’llah Abu Bakr, the sixth ‘Abbasid caliph of Egypt, 1 and came to Sind. 2 He was succeeded by his son, Abu Nasir, followed by Abu Qahir 3 and Amir Muhammad Channi. Channi was a very competent person. When Prince Murad Bakhsh, son of the Mughal emperor Akbar, came to Multan, 4 he appreciated his services, and awarded him the mansab of “Panj Hazari”5 and bestowed on him a large jagir . Channi was survived by his two sons, Muhammad Mahdi and Da’ud Khan.

Willson 1 Burushaski verb agreement and case marking phenomena are complex and have not been described adequately by any current theory ofsyntax. In particular, no explanation has yet been given as to why a variety of nominals can trigger agreement in the verbal prefix. In some cases the apparent subject triggers this agreement, in others the direct object appears to do so, in others the indirect object, in others the possessor of the direct object, in others a benefactive or source nominal. Also, the constraints on the usage of ergative, absolutive and oblique case, and other indicators ofgrammatical relations on nominals, have been insufficiently characterized in the literature on Burushaski.

  • Accession of the States Had Been the Big Issue After the Division of Subcontinent Into Two Major Countries
    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. II, No.I (January-June 2016) An Historical Overview of the Accession of Princely States Attiya Khanam The Women University, Multan Abstract The paper presents the historical overview of the accession of princely states. The British ruled India with two administrative systems, the princely states and British provinces. The states were ruled by native rulers who had entered into treaty with the British government. With the fall of Paramountacy, the states had to confirm their accession to one Constituent Assembly or the other. The paper discusses the position of states at the time of independence and unfolds the British, congress and Muslim league policies towards the accession of princely states. It further discloses the evil plans and scheming of British to save the congress interests as it considered the proposal of the cabinet Mission 1946 as ‘balkanisation of India’. Congress was deadly against the proposal of allowing states to opt for independence following the lapse of paramountancy. Congress adopted very aggressive policy and threatened the states for accession. Muslim league did not interfere with the internal affair of any sate and remained neutral. It respected the right of the states to decide their own future by their own choice. The paper documents the policies of these main parties and unveils the hidden motives of main actors. It also provides the historical and political details of those states acceded to Pakistan. 84 Attiya Khanam Key Words: Transfer of Power 1947, Accession of State to Pakistan, Partition of India, Princely States Introduction Accession of the states had been the big issue after the division of subcontinent into two major countries.

A total of 356,481 acres of crops have submerged. Alarmingly, this much of crops loss is almost double than any other District of the province affected by these rains. IDPs’ have deeply fallen prey to difficulties and have been compelled to live in hazardous conditions under the open skies. Demolished houses, perished cattle, insufficient water and sanitation and health facilities, food scarcity, and communicable diseases along with sense of deprivation have doubled their sufferings. Rapid Loss Assessment Heavy rains washed away the means of survival, the affected masses left their homes and villages, and found refuge at spontaneous settlements along roadsides, canals and high grounds. Responding to this state of emergency, DevCon’s Senior Management held urgent meetings with its staff for quick review of the exacerbating situation and DevCon acknowledges IOM’s support plan the response. DevCon, after formulating the ER core team, carried out to the shelter-less monsoon flood Rapid Assessment. Out of 55 UCs of six Talukas, DevCon assessed 48 UCs by IDPS in Sanghar district of Sindh.

  • Little Known Monuments in Baluchistan (Pakistan)
    51 LITTLE KNOWN MONUMENTS IN BALUCHISTAN (PAKISTAN) DR. TAJ ALI* Baluchistan forms the southwestern part of Pakistan. It is bounded by the Arabian sea in the south, Afghanistan and N.W.F.P. in the north, Iran in the west and Punjab and Sind in the east. Baluchistan is comprised of regions having peculiar geological and geographical conditions and in these areas of diverse geographical setting evolved and developed several cultures which show close affinitiesnot only with the cultural traditions of the Indus plain but also with its neighbouring regions of Iran and Afghanistan. The province of Baluchistan has a rich archaeological heritage covering almost all the phases of cultural and artistic development. The pre-Islamic archaeology of this region is under extensive investigation since the colonial period, and recent archaeological excavations con­ ducted by the French Archaeological Mission at Mehr Garh near Sibbi, have added new chapters to the cultural history of the province. All recent archaeological expeditions conducted by national and foreign teams have concentrated mainly on the Bronze Age Archaeology and have paid little attention to the Muslim monuments scattered all over the province. As far as the medieval Muslim architecture of Baluchistan is concerned, we have very scant informations, although it was the region which came into close contact with Islam from an early date. British officersengaged in political or commercial missions in the province since early decades of the last century have referred to vast graveyards at Bhawany and Hindian, monumental tombs at Kharan, Sarawan, Jhalawan, Makran and many other places. Besides tombs, numerous mud fortsusually called 'Mughul Kalats' and Gabar Bands (Zoroastrian Dams) are mentioned throughout Baluchistan.
