  • The Origins, Evolution and Decline of the Khojki Script
    The origins, evolution and decline of the Khojki script Juan Bruce The origins, evolution and decline of the Khojki script Juan Bruce Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in Typeface Design, University of Reading, 2015. 5 Abstract The Khojki script is an Indian script whose origins are in Sindh (now southern Pakistan), a region that has witnessed the conflict between Islam and Hinduism for more than 1,200 years. After the gradual occupation of the region by Muslims from the 8th century onwards, the region underwent significant cultural changes. This dissertation reviews the history of the script and the different uses that it took on among the Khoja people since Muslim missionaries began their activities in Sindh communities in the 14th century. It questions the origins of the Khojas and exposes the impact that their transition from a Hindu merchant caste to a broader Muslim community had on the development of the script. During this process of transformation, a rich and complex creed, known as Satpanth, resulted from the blend of these cultures. The study also considers the roots of the Khojki writing system, especially the modernization that the script went through in order to suit more sophisticated means of expression. As a result, through recording the religious Satpanth literature, Khojki evolved and left behind its mercantile features, insufficient for this purpose. Through comparative analysis of printed Khojki texts, this dissertation examines the use of the script in Bombay at the beginning of the 20th century in the shape of Khoja Ismaili literature.

  • Revivalism in Northeastern India In
    B. Terwiel Recreating the past; Revivalism in Northeastern India In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 152 (1996), no: 2, Leiden, 275-292 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/28/2021 12:30:10PM via free access BJ. TERWIEL Recreating the Past Revivalism in Northeastern India Introduction In this article I would like to introduce the problems of reviving a ritual once it has disappeared without a trace, posing the modern actors an inter- esting set of dilemmas. The paper centres upon the example of the Ahom, an ethnic group in Northeast India which over the past centuries has lost trace almost completely of the culture of its Southeast Asian forebears. During the past fifteen years I have witnessed and personally played a minor, essentially indirect, role in the blossoming of a revivalist movement among the people of Ahom descent. It is a movement that has taken root in the face of what seem to be almost overwhelming odds. Tai-speaking peoples Tai-speaking peoples form the most numerous and most widely spread peoples in Mainland Southeast Asia. They first became recognizable as such in the first millennium A.D. in what is now Kuangsi Province in Southern China. In the middle of the eleventh century they became embroiled in a long and fierce war with the Chinese, which ended in a resounding defeat of the Tais. Hereupon many Tais suddenly began migrating southwards and south-westwards into the region of Mainland Southeast Asia. They fanned out rapidly, and within a few hundred years had conquered most of the valley regions where they are now found: in northern Vietnam, in Laos, in all of Thailand, in Northern Myanmar, in the Chinese province of Yunnan, and in Northeastern India.

  • Piltdown 3--Further Discussion of the Ra¯M Khamhaeng Inscription
    Piltdown 3--Further discussion of the Ra¯m Khamhaeng Inscription Published in Journal of the Siam Society (JSS), Volume 83, Parts 1 & 2 (1995), pp. 103-198, but with so many typographical and printing errors, and misplaced footnote numbers, that it was extremely difficult to use, even with the errata list published in the following number of JSS This paper was originally presented at a panel on the Ram Khamhaeng inscription for the International Conference on Sino-Tibetan Languages and Linguistics In Chiang Mai in October 1991. Some changes have been made to take account of comments by participants at that conference and of other published work which has subsequently come to my attention. The first part of this paper contains answers to the responses or criticism which have been elicited by my "Piltdown Papers", 1 and 2.1 Some of these answers involve presentation of new material, and this forms the second part of the paper, to the extent that the two parts may be separated. The nature of the material involves some overlap. The third part is concerned with the origin of Thai writing systems. Some of it was presented orally together with "Piltdown" 1 in Canberra, but it cannot be fully understood nor criticised until presented in written form. There are certain questions and criticism which I shall not attempt to answer, and which I think are unanswerable, not because they are weighty, but because they are outside the realm of scientific discourse within which historians and linguists must work. For example, I shall make no attempt to counter arguments of the type, "why couldn't a great genius, such as 'Ram Khamhaeng' devise from nothing a perfect writing system?" This question in unanswerable.

  • KALĀM-E-MAWLĀ (Hindi – Gujarati Sayings of Hazrat Mawlana Ali A.S)
    KALĀM-E-MAWLĀ (Hindi – Gujarati sayings of Hazrat Mawlana Ali A.S) With the introduction, annotation, transliteration, translation and approximated Arabic sayings and Quranic verses By Dr. Amin Valliani, ITREB (Pakistan), Karachi. 1 Ever-Blessing Words From the very beginnings of Islam, the search for knowledge has been central to our cultures. I think of the words of Hazrat Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first hereditary Imam of the Shia Muslims, and the last of the four rightly-guided Caliphs after the passing away of the Prophet (may peace be upon Him). In his teachings, Hazrat Ali emphasized that “No honour is like knowledge.” And then he added that “No belief is like modesty and patience, no attainment is like humility, no power is like forbearance, and no support is more reliable than consultation.” Notice that the virtues endorsed by Hazrat Ali are qualities which subordinate the self and emphasize others ---modesty, patience, humility, forbearance and consultation. What he thus is telling us, is that we find knowledge best by admitting first what it is we do not know, and by opening our minds to what others can teach us. Mawlana Hazar Imam, Address at the Commencement Ceremony of the American University in Cairo, dated 15th June, 2006. 2 This book is a humble tribute to my late teacher Itmadi Noor Din H.Bakhsh (d.2000) who inspired me to undertake this research based academic exercise. 3 Acknowledgments Upon completion of this project on Kālām-e-Mawlā, I bow my head and heart to thank the He, who made me able to undertake the academic task.

  • Typographic Development of the Khojki Script and Printing Affairs at the Turn of the 19Th Century in Bombay by Juan Bruce
    Typographic development of the Khojki script and printing affairs at the turn of the 19th century in Bombay by Juan Bruce Khōjā Studies Conference, cnrs-ceias, París, December 2016. Paper based on the dissertation The origins, evolution and decline of the Khojki script submitted in September of 2015 by the same author as part of the requirements of the Master of Arts in Typeface Design at the University of Reading, uk. overview The Khojki script is an Indian script whose origins are in Sindh (now south of Pakistan), a region that has witnessed more than 1,200 years of interplay between Islam and Hinduism. After the gradual occupation of the region by Muslims from the 8th century onwards, the script took on different usages among its community, the Khojas. Sindh, Punjab and Gujarat, were the first places that received gradual Muslim religious incursions into Hindu communities, to which language and writing constituted the first barrier for conversion. It is believed that one prominent Muslim pir (Pir Sadruddin) was very much active inside the Hindu Lohana community in the 14th century, a caste of merchants and traders. As a way to approach and transmit the teachings to the people, the pir adopted the Lohānākī script of this community. Later on, the converted came to be known as the Khoja caste. Significantly, a totally different creed, known as Satpanth, grew inside the community after the blend of these cultures. Academic interest has been stimulated by the special nature of the Satpanthi literature and its place in the Indian subcontinent. It has emerged as a fascinating example of an Islamic religious movement expressing itself within a local Indian religious culture.

  • General Historical and Analytical / Writing Systems: Recent Script
    9 Writing systems Edited by Elena Bashir 9,1. Introduction By Elena Bashir The relations between spoken language and the visual symbols (graphemes) used to represent it are complex. Orthographies can be thought of as situated on a con- tinuum from “deep” — systems in which there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the sounds of the language and its graphemes — to “shallow” — systems in which the relationship between sounds and graphemes is regular and trans- parent (see Roberts & Joyce 2012 for a recent discussion). In orthographies for Indo-Aryan and Iranian languages based on the Arabic script and writing system, the retention of historical spellings for words of Arabic or Persian origin increases the orthographic depth of these systems. Decisions on how to write a language always carry historical, cultural, and political meaning. Debates about orthography usually focus on such issues rather than on linguistic analysis; this can be seen in Pakistan, for example, in discussions regarding orthography for Kalasha, Wakhi, or Balti, and in Afghanistan regarding Wakhi or Pashai. Questions of orthography are intertwined with language ideology, language planning activities, and goals like literacy or standardization. Woolard 1998, Brandt 2014, and Sebba 2007 are valuable treatments of such issues. In Section 9.2, Stefan Baums discusses the historical development and general characteristics of the (non Perso-Arabic) writing systems used for South Asian languages, and his Section 9.3 deals with recent research on alphasyllabic writing systems, script-related literacy and language-learning studies, representation of South Asian languages in Unicode, and recent debates about the Indus Valley inscriptions.
