    Things to Do in Islamabad, page 1 of 2 Things to Do in Islamabad Islamabad is a charming city where lush green hill backdrops and mild warm weather set it apart from other big cities in the region. It is a city, not for the night owls and party animals, but for the aesthetically inclined and to those drawn to the glory of nature. Islamabad’s relative infancy as a major metropolis is reflected in the city’s architecture, which is modern – the influence of its first urban planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis is pretty evident – yet distinctly Islamic in appearance. Faisal Mosque E-7, Islamabad, ICT, Pakistan The Faisal Mosque (also known as Shah Faisal Masjid) is the largest mosque in Pakistan, located in the national capital city of Islamabad. Completed in 1986, it was designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay to be shaped like a desert Bedouin’s tent. It functions as the national mosque of Pakistan. Height: 295' (90 m) Architect: Vedat Dalokay Margalla Hills The Margalla Hills—also called Margalla Mountain Range are also a part of lesser Himalayas located north of Islamabad. Margalla Range has an area of 12,605 hectares.The hills are a part of Murree hills. It is a range with many valleys as well as high mountains. The hill range nestles between an elevation of 685 meters at the western end and 1,604 meters on its east with average height of 1000 meters. Its highest peak is Tilla Charouni.The range gets snowfall in winters. Instituted in 1980, the Margalla Hills National Park comprises the Margalla Range (12605 hectares) the Rawal Lake, and Shakarparian Sports and Cultural complex.

  • Final Research Paper
    Confiscation vs Return of Property of Religious Minorities in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh Shivani Patel POL 390-02: The Politics of Social Inclusion Policy December 10, 2020 Patel 1 Introduction The property acts in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh are one of the numerous discriminatory policies in South Asia that deepen the decades-long religious conflict between Hindus and Muslims. These policies were passed and implemented in response to the India-Pakistan war in 1965, which set off the migration of religious minorities between each country, while the governments amassed all of the left behind property. These are Pakistan’s Enemy Property Act of 1965, India’s Enemy Property Act of 1968, and Bangladesh’s Vested Property Act of 1971. In contrast to the two other countries, Bangladesh repealed its policy to the Vested Property Return Act of 2001 and the Vested Property Return (Amendment) Act of 2011, which returned the confiscated property of indu migrants. Bangladesh’s repealment of the Vested Property Act is the variation in this research, as it is the only country in the region that is moving to alleviate the religious discrmination in the country. The puzzling outcome is that Bangladesh and Pakistan, which should have turned out similarly, do not maintain the same policy, whereas India and Pakistan, which are warring countries, end with the same outcome of upholding their property acts. Considering the variation in these policies, I ask: why did Bangladesh repeal its Vested Property Act, while India and Pakistan upheld their original Enemy Property Acts? My research illustrates that the degree of ethnic nationalism in a country determines the repealment of the property acts.

  • Teaching Guide 3.Pdf
    Introduction An outline of the course World Watch is a Social Studies course for the 21st century. It is designed for Pakistani primary schools that want to stimulate curiosity, thinking skills, and a love of learning. The course comprises four components: Pupil's Books, Skills Books, interactive CDs, and Teaching Guides. Core features • It draws its content and skills from international primary syllabuses while focusing on Pakistan for examples. • Concepts are covered in a child-friendly way, in simple language with lots of fun and stories. • At all levels, learning is built on children’s experience, the teacher eliciting what they already know and building on this, not simply loading them with facts. • The language, content, and tasks are progressively graded according to class levels. • Each level consists of twelve units with approximately five geography-focused units, five history-focused units, and two with focus on civics. • These three core subject areas are linked to each other where possible. • At least one geography-based unit per level is focused on environmental issues. • Values education and ethical thinking are embedded in every unit of the course. • High priority is given to independent thinking skills and problem-solving activities. • From the start, children are asked to express individual opinions and it is stressed that some questions have no easy answers. • Writing frames are provided to help children express their own ideas in open-ended tasks. Geography • Mapping skills are taught in a progressive way—from simple plans and icons in Grade 1 to political, physical, environmental, and historical maps by Grade 5.
