Saraiki Suba Movement in the Punjab: Viability in Focus
Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 20, No.2, July-December 2015 Saraiki Suba Movement in the Punjab: Viability in Focus Akhtar Hussain Sandhu* Abstract The pre-partition politics which revolved around religion was shifted to the language and culture in the post-partition era. After independence many parties emerged and realigned themselves on the basis of language and culture. This research is an effort to analyze the viability of the demand for Saraiki suba from different perspectives. It argues that the Saraiki suba movement has neither sound reasons nor justifiable political strength. The Saraiki suba‟s leadership which never won elections throughout the political history of the region, claims areas of Punjab, KPK and Sindh. The demand to create Saraiki suba is fraught with „dangers‟ including enslavement of the people of south Punjab by feudal lords. The paper recommends some practical steps for the political resolution of this issue. ______ Historical background The majority of the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent once emerged as a united political entity on the basis of religion. After 1947, languages perceived as a symbol of unity motivated the separatist tendencies in Pakistan. Absence of Hindu threat loosened the strength of Muslim nationhood and regional nationalism or sub-nationalism appeared as a gigantic problem. The main cause behind this problem was the impotent and incompetent leadership who could not perform well in redressing the grievances of the people. Bengali, Pakhtoon, Baloch, Barohi, Saraiki, Sindhi, Hindko and other voices based on language and culture became an important element behind politics at least at the regional level. In Pakistan persistent economic problems, hardships and violation of basic rights are some of the main factors behind general discontent. -

Expanding Literature of Human Right to Life in Pakistan
Expanding Literature of Human Right to Life in Pakistan Tahir Pervaiz Malik Advocate High Court (Ph.D. Scholar) University Law College, University of the Punjab Dr Aman Ullah Assistant Professor, University Law College, University of the Punjab Abstract Right to life was incorporated in the Constitution of 1973, under Article 4 and 9. Initially, it was limited to be interpreted as a life limited to a vegetative life for a long time. However, progressive approach was adopted to give it new meanings in late 80’s. Gradually, the judiciary stepped forward and started to widen the scope and vires of right to life, improving its quality. The constitutions which provide very rigid procedure for an amendment are big barriers to introduce new human rights like quality of life. It is the judiciary which provides a ray of hope by expanding horizons of already guaranteed constitutional rights. Resultantly, new rights emerged due to judicial role, raising standard of quality of life including right to shelter, right to livelihood/work, right to health, right to education, and right to protection of family, right to monitory compensation, right to go abroad and right to legal aid. Key Words: Right to Quality of Life, Judicial Activism, Emerging Rights, Fundamental Rights, Constitution of Pakistan 1. Introduction The protection of right to life under Article 9 of the Constitution could not be a highly valuable provision of fundamental rights, if it would have remained obscured and undiscovered as a treasure-trove for many other penumbra human rights. However, in the age of constitutional supremacy, the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the four High Courts expanded the limited ambit of ‘life’. -

Punjabi Language During British Rule
27 Tariq Rahman: Punjabi during British Rule Punjabi Language during British Rule Tariq Rahman Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad ________________________________________________________________ Punjabi language, in spite of its very long history, has never been used in the domain of power. The languages of power were not peoples’ mother-tongues, being Sanskrit, Persian and English or Urdu. In this paper, the author sheds light on the introduction of Urdu by the British as the vernacular in the Punjab. Ironically not many people knew Urdu when it was proclaimed as a parlance for conducting administrative business. Soon afterwards Muslims of Punjab co-opted Urdu as their cultural insignia. Iqbal and later on Zafar Ali Khan, Akhtar Sheerani and after the partition in 1947, Faiz, Noon Meim Rashid, Majeed Amjed and Munir Niazi composed their poetry mostly in Urdu. Hence Urdu prospered as a literary expression somewhat at the expense of Punjabi. Besides Urdu became the language of the media in the Punjab. In the whole process Punjabi was flung to the margins. It has, however, been used in some domains of power in the Indian state of Punjab. The legacy of the British is obsequiously being followed in Pakistan. ________________________________________________________________ Punjabi - the sum total of all its mutually intelligible varieties - is an ancient language. It might have been spoken in the 11th century when Sa’d Salman (d.1121) wrote one of his collections of verse (divan) in ‘Hindi’. However, since that divan is lost, no credible claim can be made as to its language.1 It is known, however, that Amir Khusro (d. -
