Astronomy and Space Science Curricula at University Level in Pakistan
The Sindh University Journal of Education Vol.42 Issue 2012-13, Pp.40-54 INGILA RAHIM* MUHAMMAD RASHID KAMAL ANSARI** TEACHING OF ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE: ASTRONOMY AND SPACE SCIENCE CURRICULA AT UNIVERSITY LEVEL IN PAKISTAN Abstract It is the Continuation of our review of contents of astronomy and space Sciences curricula in Pakistan (I. Rahim, R.K. Ansari, A.K.Zai, 2011) which dealt with only pre-university level curricula in Pakistan whereas, the present study reviews the university level curricula in Pakistan. There are two types of higher education institutions in Pakistan. The state governed (Public sector) universities and institutes and the private sector universities and degree issuing institutions. Also, there are institutions under military control and R & D organizations. We will review the curricula of some such institutions and compare with curricula of United Nations programs on space applications. It is concluded that the standard and span of AS and SS courses at university level curricula in Pakistan have highly been raised. However, no institution is granting degree in the specific area of commercial and industrial uses of space. This means that as a nation we have just stepped on but not yet have started the journey to participate in the activities of industrialization and Commercialization of space and more efforts have to be put in this regard.

Pakistan's Naval Upgrading in South Asia
PAKISTAN’S NAVAL UPGRADING IN SOUTH ASIA: A FORM OF BANDWAGONING Written by: Muhammad Adrindra Hervi (071311233016) Abstract Since its inception in 1947 up until the present day, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has had reason to be wary of India. After three wars and countless border skirmishes with their larger Hindu neighbor, and oftentimes rival, Pakistan views India with a degree of suspicion and threat. However, most of India and Pakistan‟s most significant conflicts had been, and continues to be fought, on land, mainly in and surrounding the hotly disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir, with both countries investing much the way of military equipment for their armies and border security agencies. However, Pakistan has recently been seeking to improve the capabilities of their navy, a long ignored branch of the Pakistani Armed Forces. This thesis will attempt to examine the reasoning behind Pakistan‟s choice to turn their attention towards and improve the capabilities of their long neglected navy, and attempt to correlate it with both India‟s own steadily increasing naval presence in South Asia as well as the People‟s Republic of China‟s heightened involvement in the region in the form of the Belt Road Initiative as well as the China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Keywords: Pakistan Navy, Naval Capability, South Asia, Regional Powers, Interdiction, Belt Road Initiative, China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Background In 2017 the Pakistani Navy became one of the central points of discussion during a conference dubbed „Maritime Security in the Indian Ocean: Challenges and Prospects for Pakistan‟ held in Islamabad. The conference was aimed at recognizing Pakistan‟s current needs This was attended by policy makers and maritime experts including naval officers and think-tanks.

Начиная с 1947 г., белуджское повстанческое движение пережило несколько этапов, последний из которых ведет отсчет с 2006 г. Учитывая затяжной характер противостояния, правительство Пакистана и особенно руководство вооруженных сил рассматривают белуджских повстанцев как не меньшую, если не большую угрозу, чем ведущаяся на северо- западе страны «война с терроризмом». Стратегическое положение Белуджистана и многолетнее повстанческое движение вынуждают Пакистан держать на территории провинции значительные силы безопасности. Однако, несмотря на расколы среди повстанцев, вооруженным силам не удалось добиться мира, а федеральному и региональному правительству – обеспечить социально-экономическое развитие провинции (за исключением порта Гавадар, с помощью Китая). У государства отсутствует системная политика

Indian Opposition to Chinese Belt and Road Initiative: Response, Rationale and Action
Central Asia Journal No. 81, Winter 2017 INDIAN OPPOSITION TO CHINESE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE: RESPONSE, RATIONALE AND ACTION Musarat Amin & Rizwan Naseer Abstract China’s massive initiative of the Belt and Road (BRI) is a gigantic leap that is aiming to connect world’s 65% population, 30% of global G.D.P and about sixty eight countries that have signed on to be part of this mega project. The China Development Bank has estimated 900 projects that are worth more than a trillion dollars, underway to accomplish dream of 21st century New Silk Road. China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the flagship project of BRI, heralded as game changer that will bring prosperity to Pakistan and will turn Gwadar into an economic hub between Africa, West- Asia and South Asia. India opposed China’s BRI as well as CPEC to neutralize China’s regional and global influence. Modi has shifted from India’s Look East to Act-East Policy and introduced Mausam and SAGAR projects to counterweight BRI. This paper unfolds reasons of India opposition to BRI as well CPEC by providing readers insights about various Indian foreign policy goals. This paper is an analysis of China’s BRI and India’s response to contain it. It also highlights the challenges that CPEC is facing due to India intensive diplomatic maneuvers to impede it. The BRI is set to transform China from civilization state to a western style nation state. Key Words: Belt and Road Initiative, CPEC, Regional Connectivity, Indian Opposition Theorizing India’s Foreign Policy towards China: Debates and Perceptions India’s foreign policy had a great shift after cold war from the member of Non Aligned Movement (NAM) to a proactive Asian balancer against rising China.
