The five youth groups would be supervised and mentored by the subject experts in the field visits to help the groups in finding out the facts directly impacting the concerned communities. The five groups would present their findings at the Pakistan DESERTCON Forum that would be attended by the relevant UN agencies, federal and provincial government departments, academia, non-governmental organizations and the community based organizations. A group of youth would follow up with the concerned government organizations on the implementation of their recommendations presented at the Forum after the Moot.

Miriam Beard STFP Bulletin Page 4 of 5 Explore the Wonders of Salt Range A Day trip to Katas Raj, Khewra Salt Mines and Kallar Kahar The Salt Range comprise two rows of low lying rugged hills that run east to west between the Soan and Jhelum rivers from the Grand Trunk Road near Jhelum city to the River Indus near Kalabagh . This area is said to record 600 million years of the earth‟s history. Its name comes from the vast deposits of rock salt exposed and mined at Khewra. The salt was left behind when the sea, which extended over the Indus plains and the Potohar plateau, evaporated 600 million years ago. The rocks and fossils fund around the salt range provide a complete record of the history of the Earth. The Salt Range Wetlands Complex comprised of a series of adjacent lakes – Kallar Kahar, Khabbeki, Ucchali, Jhalar and Namal. These lakes provide an important wintering ground for migratory birds and are core habitat for the endemic Punjab Urial. Historically this region is also very rich. Alexander the Great passed through the Salt Range on his way to fought battle with Porus on the banks of the Jhelum River in 326 BC. In the 3rd century BC, this area became part of Ashoka‟s Buddhist Empire. Towards the end of the th Buddhist period, in the 6 century AD, there was a kingdom in the Salt Range called th th Singhapura, probably centered at Ketas. From 7 to 10 centuries, the Salt Range was part of powerful Kashmiri Hindu kingdom. Mahmood Ghazni invaded the region in the early 11th century. The local tribes were converted to Islam at this time.

Scholar, The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI) University Dehradun – 248197, India Abstract: This paper deals with a community of Jogis which is fighting for its survival in all phases and in each place (country). They are found in major religions but undeveloped and considered to be of low social status in all subcontinents and are victim of society. This community did that type of work for their livelihood which no other community does but they do it for their survival and livelihood. In this paper I throw the light upon the present living conditions and origin of Jogis in Afghanistan and their connections with Jogis of Jain origin these both communities are very petite in number now and the Jogis of Jain origin are may be now fully extinct. Keywords: Jogis; Jainism; Gorakhnath; Afghanistan; Tazkira(citizenship proof); Punjab; Rawal. 1. Introduction The Jogis as a community cannot be said to have any history; there are many branches into which they are split ranging from all Indian subcontinent (including Afghanistan) and pursuing various religions and different way of life. In many reports of UN there are disambiguate that Jogis came from Central Asia (Zahir, 2012) or of Jat origin (Samuel Hall Consulting, 2011),they are of a bigger ethnic group of Jogis which are of indegenious origin, they have a great past and culture they are basically followers of Gorakhnath or of his disciple, so they still live and uses customary beliefs and follow native culture.

It promotes the dynamic connections between gender and sexuality across a diverse range of religious and spiritual lives, cultures, histories, and geographical locations, as well as contemporary discourses around secularism and non-religion. The series publishes cutting-edge research that considers religious experiences, communities, institutions, and discourses in global and transnational contexts, and examines the fluid and intersecting features of identity and social positioning. Using theoretical and methodological approaches from inter/transdisciplinary perspectives, Bloomsbury Studies in Religion, Gender, and Sexuality addresses the neglect of religious studies perspectives in gender, queer, and feminist studies, and offers a space in which gender-critical approaches to religions engage with questions of intersectionality, particularly with respect to critical race, disability, post-colonial and decolonial theories. 9781350041752_txt_final.indd 2 24-09-2019 21:23:27 Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan Gender and Caste, Borders and Boundaries Virinder S.

  • The Char Bagh-I Panjab: Socio-Cultural Configuration
    23 J. S. Grewal: Char-i Bagh Panjab The Char Bagh-i Panjab: Socio-Cultural Configuration J.S. Grewal Institute of Punjab Studies, Chandigarh _______________________________________________________________ The descriptive part of the mid-nineteenth century Char Bagh-i Punjab of Ganesh Das in Persian is analysed for evidence on the social and cultural history of the Punjab during the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century. The disparate facts and places in specific space and time by the author are sought to be classified and put together coherently in terms of urbanization; religious beliefs, practices, and institutions of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs; popular religion; traditional learning, both religious and secular; literature in Persian, Punjabi, Braj and ‘Hindi’ in Perso-Arabic, Gurmukhi and Devanagri scripts; and gender relations, with special regard to conjugal and personal love. The socio-cultural configuration that emerges on the whole from this analysis is given at the end, with the reflection of the author’s personality as a member of the precolonial Punjabi society. Important in itself, this configuration provides the background for an appreciation of socio-cultural change in the colonial Punjab. _______________________________________________________________ Introducton The Char Bagh-i Punjab of Ganesh Das Badhera is by far the most important single source of information for the social and cultural history of the Punjab before its annexation to British India in 1849.* Though a general history from the earliest times to the fall of the kingdom of Lahore in 1849, about three- fourths of the work is devoted to the eighteenth and the early nineteenth century, both in its narrative part which is almost entirely political, and its descriptive part which is almost entirely non-political.
