A focus on the religious degree of the occasion inadequately represents the participant’s active experience and has hindered the discussion of Qawwali in modern practice. Through the examples of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s music and an insightful BBC radio article on gender inequality this thesis explores the fluid musical exchanges of information with other styles of Qawwali performances, and the unchanging nature of an oral tradition that maintains sociopolitical hierarchies and gender relations in Sufi shrine culture. Perceptions of history within shrine culture blend together with social and theological developments, long-standing interactions with society outside of the shrine environment, and an exclusion of the female body in rituals.

  • Identification of Urdu Ghazal Poets Using SVM
    Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering & Technology Vol. 38, No. 4, 935-944 October 2019 p-ISSN: 0254-7821, e-ISSN: 2413-7219 DOI: 10.22581/muet1982.1904.07 Identification of Urdu Ghazal Poets using SVM NIDA TARIQ*, IQRA EJAZ*, MUHAMMAD KAMRAN MALIK*, ZUBAIR NAWAZ*, AND FAISAL BUKHARI* RECEIVED ON 08.06.2018 ACCEPTED ON 30.10.2018 ABSTRACT Urdu literature has a rich tradition of poetry, with many forms, one of which is Ghazal. Urdu poetry structures are mainly of Arabic origin. It has complex and different sentence structure compared to our daily language which makes it hard to classify. Our research is focused on the identification of poets if given with ghazals as input. Previously, no one has done this type of work. Two main factors which help categorize and classify a given text are the contents and writing style. Urdu poets like Mirza Ghalib, Mir Taqi Mir, Iqbal and many others have a different writing style and the topic of interest. Our model caters these two factors, classify ghazals using different classification models such as SVM (Support Vector Machines), Decision Tree, Random forest, Naïve Bayes and KNN (K-Nearest Neighbors). Furthermore, we have also applied feature selection techniques like chi square model and L1 based feature selection. For experimentation, we have prepared a dataset of about 4000 Ghazals. We have also compared the accuracy of different classifiers and concluded the best results for the collected dataset of Ghazals. Key Words: Text classification, Support Vector Machines, Urdu poetry, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, Feature Selection, Chi Square, k-Nearest Neighbors, Ghazal, L1, Random Forest.

  • A Brief Description of the Nobiin Language and History by Nubantood Khalil, (Nubian Language Society)
    A brief description of the Nobiin language and history By Nubantood Khalil, (Nubian Language Society) Nobiin language Nobiin (also called Mahas-Fadichcha) is a Nile-Nubian language (North Eastern Sudanic, Nilo-Saharan) descendent from Old Nubian, spoken along the Nile in northern Sudan and southern Egypt and by thousands of refugees in Europe and the US. Nobiin is classified as a member of the Nubian language family along with Kenzi/Dongolese in upper Nubia, Meidob in North Darfur, Birgid in Central and South Darfur, and the Hill Nubian languages in Southern Kordofan. Figure 1. The Nubian Family (Bechhaus 2011:15) Central Nubian Western Northern Nubian Nubian ▪ Nobiin ▪ Meidob ▪ Old Nubian Birgid Hill Nubians Kenzi/ Donglese In the 1960's, large numbers of Nobiin speakers were forcibly displaced away from their historical land by the Nile Rivers in both Egypt and Sudan due to the construction of the High Dam near Aswan. Prior to that forcible displacement, Nobiin was primarily spoken in the region between the first cataract of the Nile in southern Egypt, to Kerma, in the north of Sudan. The following map of southern Egypt and Sudan encompasses the areas in which Nobiin speakers have historically resided (from Thelwall & Schadeberg, 1983: 228). Nubia Nubia is the land of the ancient African civilization. It is located in southern Egypt along the Nile River banks and extends into the land that is known as “Sudan”. The region Nubia had experienced writing since a long time ago. During the ancient period of the Kingdoms of Kush, 1 | P a g e the Kushite/Nubians used the hieroglyphic writing system.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521001358 - Reversing Sail: A History of the African Diaspora Michael A. Gomez Excerpt More information Introduction The dawn of the twenty-first century finds persons of varying ethnic and racial and religious backgrounds living together in societies all over the globe. The United Kingdom and France in Europe, together with the United States and Brazil in the Americas, are perhaps only the better known of many such societies, a principal dynamic of which concerns how groups maintain their identities while forming new and viable communities with those who do not share their backgrounds or beliefs. To achieve the latter requires a willingness on the part of all to learn about the histories and cultures of everyone in the society. This book is about people of African descent who found (and find) themselves living either outside of the African continent or in parts of Africa that were territorially quite distant from their lands of birth. It is a history of their experiences, contributions, victories, and struggles, and it is primarily concerned with massive movements and extensive relocations, over long periods of time, resulting in the dispersal of Africans and their descendants throughout much of the world. This phenomenon is referred to as the African Diaspora. Redistributions of European and Asian populations have also marked history, but the African Diaspora is unique in its formation. It is a story, or a collection of stories, like no other. As an undergraduate text, this book is written at a time of con- siderable perplexity, ambiguity, and seeming contradiction. People of African descent, or black people, can be found in all walks of life.

  • (CE:1798A-1798B) NOBATIA, EPARCH OF. the Nubian Kingdom of NOBATIA Was Subjugated by the Larger Kingdom of MAKOURIA in the Seventh Century
    (CE:1798a-1798b) NOBATIA, EPARCH OF. The Nubian kingdom of NOBATIA was subjugated by the larger kingdom of MAKOURIA in the seventh century. Nobatia thereafter lost its independence but not its name or separate identity. It was governed throughout the Middle Ages by a kind of viceroy, the eparch of Nobatia, who was appointed by the king of Makouria. In the earlier medieval period the eparch had his principal residence at FARAS. When the disturbed conditions of later medieval times demanded a more militarily secure base, the eparchal residence was transferred first to QASR IBRIM and finally to JABAL ‘ADDA. It is evident, however, that the eparchs, like the kings of Makouria, had residences in more than one place. The eparchs of Nobatia are mentioned in a number of medieval Arabic texts, usually under the title Lord of the Mountain. The source of this epithet is obscure. It does not appear in documents written by the Nubians themselves, where the title "eparch" is always used. Since the Arabic texts are unpointed, Hinds (cited in Plumley, 1970, p. 14) has suggested a reading of the eparch's Arabic title as "Lord of the Horses" rather than as "Lord of the Mountain," but this suggestion is rejected by Vantini (1975, pp. 478-79, 602). It may be noted that at a later date the viziers of the Funj sultanate, in the central Sudan, bore the title Sd al-Kom (Lord of the Heap), which might conceivably be a latter-day derivative of "Lord of the Mountain." The eparch of Nobatia was evidently a true viceroy, to whom many of the king's traditional powers were delegated.

  • The Beloved and the Lover – Love in Classical Urdu Ghazal
    Cracow Indological Studies vol. XII (2010) Agnieszka Kuczkiewicz-Fraś (Jagiellonian University, Krakow) The beloved and the lover – love in classical Urdu ghazal cišq par zor nahīÓ hai yah vah ātiš sālib ki lagāye na lage aur bujhāye na bane Ghalib! love is a fire that lights itself and dies out of itself, beyond our wills.1 The theme of love (cišq2) and the poetic genre of ghazal (sazal) have been inseparably tied to each other since the times when pre-Islamic 1 Ghazal XXXIV, transl. by Adrienne Rich in Ghazals of Ghalib, ed. by Aijaz Ahmad, Delhi: Oxford University Press 1994, p. 155. There is a brilliant wordplay in this line, as the word sālib, which is the poet’s taxalluÆ or ‘nom de plume’, often conventionally inserted in the closing couplet of the ghazal, might be understood also in its literal meaning (‘overpowering, triumphant’), so the verse can be read verbatim: “Love is triumphant fire and no one has any power over it”. 2 The most popular noun used by the authors of ghazals to connote love, is cišq ‘love, excessive love, passion’, but there are also many other words that mean ‘love’ or other similar feelings and emotions, which can be found in this type of poetry, like e.g.: ulfat (P ≤≤≤ A) ‘familiarity, intimacy; attachment, affection, friendship’; šauq (P ≤≤≤ A) ‘desire, yearning, deep longing (…), inclination, affection, love (…)’; taáap ‘(…) feverish dis- quietude (of body or mind); (…) anxious eagerness or desire (…)’; lagāva (H) ‘(…) intimacy, intimate connexion; a liaison; sexual intercourse’; 200 AGNIESZKA KUCZKEWICZ-FRAŚ Bedouin poets started expressing their overwhelming feelings of passion and loneliness in this intricate form3.

  • Inferring the Social Organization of Medieval Upper Nubia Using Nonmetric Traits of the Skull
    INFERRING THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF MEDIEVAL UPPER NUBIA USING NONMETRIC TRAITS OF THE SKULL By Emily Rose Streetman A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Anthropology – Doctor of Philosophy 2018 ABSTRACT INFERRING THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF MEDIEVAL UPPER NUBIA USING NONMETRIC TRAITS OF THE SKULL By Emily Rose Streetman Medieval Nubia was composed of three kingdoms located along the Middle Nile. Although biological distance (biodistance) research has demonstrated population continuity in this region, little is known about the population structure or social organization in any single era. The Medieval Period (550–1500 CE) was a particularly dynamic one in Nubia, since all three kingdoms converted to Christianity in the mid-sixth century CE, and neighboring polities converted to Islam a century later. The political ramifications of these conversions have been studied at a large scale, but little research has investigated the local processes that comprise social organization during this time. Minimal research has used contemporary populations to analyze regional, local, and family level social organization in Nubia. Biodistances were investigated through nonmetric traits of the skull in six cemeteries from three archaeologically defined sites in modern northern Sudan, using Mahalanobis D2 distance, among other statistical tests. The six cemeteries in this study are from Mis Island (three cemeteries), Kulubnarti (two cemeteries), and Gabati (one cemetery). Mis Island and Kulubnarti were part of the same kingdom (Makuria) from the seventh century on, while Gabati was part of the far Upper Nubian kingdom of Alwa. When cemeteries from the same sites are pooled, results show that the two more northerly sites were more closely related, while the third site, located in a different kingdom, was biologically distant.
