The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of Pakistan, under its former minister Mr Fawad Chaudhry was very supportive of granting approval for the idea of this undertaking. The Pavilion of Pakistan thus garnered a great deal of attention and support from the art community as well as the entire country. Pakistan’s participation in this prestigious international art event has provided a global audience with an unforgettable introduction to Pakistani art. I congratulate Zahra Khan, for her commitment and hard work, and Naiza Khan, for being the first significant Pakistani artist to represent the country, along with everyone who played a part in this initiative’s success. I particularly thank Asma Rashid Khan, Director of Foundation Art Divvy, for partnering with the project, in addition to all our generous sponsors for their valuable support in the execution of our first-ever national pavilion.

  • Two Nation Theory: Its Importance and Perspectives by Muslims Leaders
    Two Nation Theory: Its Importance and Perspectives by Muslims Leaders Nation The word “NATION” is derived from Latin route “NATUS” of “NATIO” which means “Birth” of “Born”. Therefore, Nation implies homogeneous population of the people who are organized and blood-related. Today the word NATION is used in a wider sense. A Nation is a body of people who see part at least of their identity in terms of a single communal identity with some considerable historical continuity of union, with major elements of common culture, and with a sense of geographical location at least for a good part of those who make up the nation. We can define nation as a people who have some common attributes of race, language, religion or culture and united and organized by the state and by common sentiments and aspiration. A nation becomes so only when it has a spirit or feeling of nationality. A nation is a culturally homogeneous social group, and a politically free unit of the people, fully conscious of its psychic life and expression in a tenacious way. Nationality Mazzini said: “Every people has its special mission and that mission constitutes its nationality”. Nation and Nationality differ in their meaning although they were used interchangeably. A nation is a people having a sense of oneness among them and who are politically independent. In the case of nationality it implies a psychological feeling of unity among a people, but also sense of oneness among them. The sense of unity might be an account, of the people having common history and culture.

  • A Comparative Study of the Press in America, India and Pakistan
    The Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Working Paper Series Covering September 11 and Its Consequences: A Comparative Study of the Press in America, India and Pakistan By Ramindar Singh Shorenstein Fellow, Fall 2001 Executive Director, Media Operations, IndusInd Entertainment Limited #2002-4 Copyright 2002, President and Fellows of Harvard College All rights reserved COVERING SEPTEMBER 11 AND ITS CONSEQUENCES A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRESS IN AMERICA, INDIA AND PAKISTAN By Ramindar Singh, Shorenstein Fellow, Fall 2001 The September 11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York , confronted the Press with a supreme challenge, in America where the earth-shaking event happened and in South Asia which continued to experience violent aftershocks months later. September 11 affected Americans in a most fundamental way; it forced them to re-assess their role in the world and question why they become a target for disaffected groups in faraway lands. Similar reassessments were underway on the other side of the globe, with the press in India and Pakistan asking a different set of questions about how this event would affect and alter the lives of people in the South Asia region. This paper is an attempt to analyse how the press in America responded to the need to understand and report what happened on September 11, analyse why it happened and to present this information and analysis in a professional manner untainted by emotion, sentiment or jingoism. Simultaneously it examines how the press in India and Pakistan handled a similar challenge in their region. It would be tempting, while analyzing the performance of the press in these three countries, to cover a wide spectrum of newspapers and television stations.

  • Pakistan's COVID-19 Crisis
    Pakistan’s COVID-19 Crisis Crisis Group Asia Briefing N°162 Karachi/Islamabad/Brussels, 7 August 2020 What’s new? Hoping to mitigate COVID-19’s economic toll, Imran Khan’s Paki- stan Tehreek-e-Insaf government lifted a countrywide lockdown in May, leading to a spike in cases. August could see another surge since the public, misled by the clergy and mixed messaging from the government itself, may disregard precautions during religious festivities and ceremonies. Why does it matter? Climbing infection rates could overwhelm ill-equipped health systems and hinder economic recovery. If citizens are denied health care or adequate aid as the economy contracts, public anger is likely to mount, potentially threatening social order. Militants could take advantage, as they have in the past. What should be done? The federal government should guide provinces on pan- demic policy and help reinforce their health systems but also permit them to devise their own local strategies guided by medical experts. It should work with the parlia- mentary opposition on its response, particularly on providing a safety net to vulner- able parts of society. I. Overview On 9 May, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government almost completely lifted a na- tionwide lockdown it had imposed in late March to counter COVID-19. Pakistan sub- sequently saw a surge in cases, placing it among the top twelve pandemic-affected countries worldwide. The government justifies the easing of nationwide restrictions on economic grounds; indeed, the lockdown’s toll on the most vulnerable, workers and the poor has been brutal. Yet signs of economic recovery since it was lifted are few, while the virus threatens to overwhelm ill-equipped and under-funded health systems.

  • The National Archives of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
    220 American Archivist / Vol. 54 / Spring 1991 International Scene NANCY BARTLETT AND MARJORIE BARRITT, editors Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/54/2/220/2748228/aarc_54_2_8777g4340j634450.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 The National Archives of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan TIMOTHY A. SLAVIN Abstract: The National Archives of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan presents a fascinating paradox for archivists interested in the work of their colleagues abroad. Faced with the separate problems of poverty, illiteracy, and martial law, the National Archives of Pakistan has established and maintained a model archival program for South Asia. The collections housed at the National Archives of Pakistan—a mix of manuscripts from the Moghul rulers to the administrative papers of the first years of government—reflect the multitude of paradoxes which Pakistan has come to represent. About the author: Timothy A. Slavin is the state archivist for the State of Rhode Island and Prov- idence Plantations. From 1987 to 1989 he served as assistant archivist for the Archives of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. This article is based upon research conducted during a personal visit to Pakistan in January 1989.
