  • The Relations of the Mughal Empire with the Ahmadnagar Kingdom (1526-1636)
    THE RELATIONS OF THE MUGHAL EMPIRE WITH THE AHMADNAGAR KINGDOM (1526-1636) Thesis Submited foe tke *Degcee of Doctor (X Philosophy IN fflSTQRY BY MOHO. SIRAJ ANWAR SUPERVISOR Professor Iqtidar Alam Khan CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1994 / f ; : ^ iO.i/1 - 1 3;rf;p ifl«(^ ABSTRACT During the first quarter of the sixteenth century the relations between the power ruling over North India, namely, the Lodi Empire and the Deccan kingdoms were generally at a very low key. But it is, of course, true that the Deccani kingdoms were not indifferent to the situation in the North. The sending of congratulatory letters to Babur by trte rulers of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur and Berar, on his success in 1526, goes to testify their eagerness to win favour with any ruler who appeared to gaining an upper hand in North India. Among them Ahmadnagar seemed to be particularly responsive to the developing political scenario in the North. The short term consideration of the Ahmadnagar Kingdom in cultivating friendly ties with the Mughals from the very beginning of their rule down to the end of Humayun's reign, and also with the Surs during their short lived rule over North India, was possibly that their military pressure on Malwa and Gujarat would render the latter two states less belligerent towards Ahmadnagar. But at the same time it should not be overlooked that from 1535 onwards Humayun appeared to be interested in extending his influence, if not actual rule, over Khandesh and Ahmadnagar which is borne out by his correspondence with Burhan Nizam Shah I as well as his making, while returning to Mandu from Ahmadabad, a detour across Khandesh.

  • Revolution in Danger: a Critical Appraisal of the Syrian National Council with Recommendations for Reform
    Revolution in Danger: A Critical Appraisal of the Syrian National Council with Recommendations for Reform A Henry Jackson Society Strategic Briefing By Hamza Fakher and Michael Weiss With additional research by Brian Milne February 2012 INTRODUCTION The Syrian National Council (SNC) has emerged as the leading political force in the effort to unseat the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It has the widest degree of representation of any of the existing political opposition forces and has received the most widespread international recognition. Yet from the outset it has been plagued by divisions, infighting, manipulation by various factions, and significant errors of judgment. To date the SNC almost certainly remains an indispensable aspect of the Syrian uprising, and by far the most likely (and indeed the only plausible) structure around which a political alternative can begin to coalesce. However, unless the serious flaws within the SNC are addressed quickly and effectively, it may fail to live up to this potential and, in turn, could deal a fatal blow to the uprising itself. Context of the Syrian uprising were witnessed firsthand by one of this report’s authors, who lived in Damascus until July 2011. As the Arab uprisings took hold in Tunisia and Egypt at the end of 2010, groups based both inside and Syria’s uprising, in short, was not entirely spontaneous, outside of Syria began preparations for a similar revolt but it was a largely decentralised phenomenon. against the Assad regime.1 The most prominent of There was no direct or central system or hierarchy of the grassroots organisations that began coalescing authority or control, which might have being provided in March were the Coordination Committees in by traditional opposition movements in Syria.

  • Brac) and Abed’S Reception of Paulo Freire’S
    A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS ON BANGLADESH RURAL ADVANCEMENT COMMITTEE (BRAC) AND ABED’S RECEPTION OF PAULO FREIRE’S CRITICAL LITERACY IN DESIGNING BRAC’S FUNCTIONAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN BANGLADESH FROM 1972 TO 1981. Thesis by Mohammad Abul Fateh A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Education in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Education Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2020) Copyright © Mohammad Abul Fateh, 2020 Abstract In this study, I examine the characteristics of the reception of Brazilian pedagogue Paulo Freire’s critical literacy by Building Resources Across Communities in Bangladesh (BRAC) from 1972 to 1981.The central questions of this study are: (1) how Dr. Fazle Hasan Abed, founding member of BRAC, read Freire within the context of his political intentionality and what he perceived were BRAC’s needs; and, (2) how Freire’s adult literacy theory was integrated in BRAC’s functional education curriculum design and practice. I argue that Abed was inspired by Paulo Freire’s pedagogical tenets in the planning and enactment of BRAC’s development initiatives to help the rural poor; however, Abed depoliticized and de-radicalized Freirean concepts when designing its functional education curriculum. Furthermore, his efforts at organizing the rural poor to generate income opportunities may have helped make the rural poor naïvely conscious. I also argue that although BRAC adapted Freire in its adult literacy curriculum, the program did not aim at the conscientization of its learners to challenge the oppressive social structure. Abed considered education as a tool of development within the frame of capitalism, not as an instrument for radical social transformation as Freire did.

  • Geo-Strategic Significance of Kandahar for Mughal Empire Zahid Anwar* Sumaira† Sadia Riaz ‡
    Global Social Sciences Review (GSSR) DOI: 10.31703/gssr.2016(I-II).02 ISSN 2520-0348 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.31703/gssr.2016(I-II).02 Vol. I, No. II (Fall 2016) Page: 18 - 29 Geo-Strategic Significance of Kandahar for Mughal Empire Zahid Anwar* Sumaira† Sadia Riaz ‡ Abstract Kandahar is one of the most significant and important region of Afghanistan. It had been ruled by the great dynasties like Greece, Muryans, Kushans, Hindu Shahis, Mongols and the Mughals etc. Because of its significant location, Kandahar remained the bone of contention between different Empires and dynasties. When the Mughal occupied India, it became necessary for them to make a strong hold on Kandahar because of its strategic location that connects Persia with India. Kandahar was a gateway to India from Persia and for the safety of India and Kabul the Mughals were struggling to have strong control over the area. It connects South Asian subcontinent with Central Asia, Middle East and the Persian Gulf. On the other side Persia considered Kandahar as her integral part particularly from the reign of Shah Tahmasp and always remained busy in taking its control from the Mughals. It was necessary for them to take control of Kandahar for accomplishing the Safavid expansion policy. Thus, Kandahar remained a sandwich between two great Empires. Key Words: Kandahar, Trade, Geopolitics, Mughal, Safavid, Afghanistan, Introduction In history Kandahar, second largest city of Afghanistan called Alexandria Arachosia named after Alexander the great who founded it in 329 BC around a small ancient Arachosian town. It is the capital of the province, located in the south of the country at an altitude of 1,010 m above sea level.
