During this period, the emergence of many great elders of Sufism and the establishment of the most famous ways and organized dynasty in Sufism by them, the formation of some of the most important treasures of Islamic Sufism, such as the dressing gown and the permission document of the dynasty, the systematic growth and development of the Monasteries as formal institutions and the social status of Sufis and the influence of Sufism in the development of Persian and Arabic prose and poetic, which in this study, briefly, the transformation and effects of Iranian Sufism are examined. Keywords: Cultural equations, Political equations, Religion, Sufism 1. Introduction Iranian Sufism, which has formed in the context of Islamic Sufism and its influence on the Sufism of the ancient religions in Iran, such as Zoroastrianism and Manichaean, has seen tremendous transformations over time, which undoubtedly caused cultural, political, social and even economic changes that have arisen in Iran has led to many ups and downs in the path of growth and excellence. Prior to the 12th century, Sufism continued to exist as a belief system based on knowledge and paths and a mystical view of religion, in which many groups and branches were formed, but differences of them were mostly in the field of thought and had little effect on the space of the community. -
The Start of Arakanese Rule in Chittagong Around 1590 Was As We Saw Closely Connected with the Development of an Arakanese-Portuguese Partnership

CHAPTER THREE THE RISE OF MRAUK U INFLUENCE (1593-1612) The start of Arakanese rule in Chittagong around 1590 was as we saw closely connected with the development of an Arakanese-Portuguese partnership. The account of Fernberger and the earlier involvement of the Portuguese mercenaries in the army of the Bengal sultans are testimony to the important role of these Portuguese communities in the Arakan-Bengal continuum. When Man Phalaung died in 1593 he was succeeded by his son king Man Raja- kri (1593-1612).1 Man Raja-kri would continue the expansion of Arakanese rule along the shores of the Bay of Bengal. In 1598 he would take part in the siege of Pegu that would lead to the end of the first Toungoo dynasty in Burma in 1599. The early years of the seventeenth century would also witness the first armed confrontations between the Arakanese and the Mughals in south-eastern Bengal. -

Received: February 18, 2019 Accepted: March 21, 2019 ABSTRACT: There is a common perception that British rule resulted in poverty, de industrialization etc in India. But as for as princely state of Jammu and Kashmir is concerned the British intervention resulted in positive outcomes. The British intervention resulted in modernization of various fields of Jammu and Kashmir. The introduction of modern education, land settlements ,modern health care, transportation etc. where the outcomes of British intervention. This paper highlights that British intervention resulted in modernization of Jammu and Kashmir not only in short run but in long run. Key Words: INTRODUCTION Once British became absolute political power in the Indian sub-continent, there policy towards princely states remained of two type’s i.e., direct and indirect policy. Direct policy was promoted towards the states which were directly ruled by British through their governors and indirect policy was conceded towards the states, ruled indirectly by British through their residents. The preference to bring a state under direct or indirect policy was mostly determined by state’s geography and economic resources. British annexed Punjab in 1846 and Kashmir being part of Lahore Darbar also came under the suzerainty of British. But at that time fate of Kashmir was determined by the need of time when British found sale of Kashmir inevitable because Punjab was yet to consolidate and North-West Frontier and Afghanistan unsettled. -
Mystical Thoughts of Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti and Chishtiyya Sufi Order

Üyesi Hakan KUYUMCU Konya – 2018 II III IV PREFACE The Persian term ‘Khwaja’ carries the meaning of ‘master’. In Indian sub continent, the general usage of the word ‘khwaja’ stands for Khwaja Muinuddin Hasan al Chishti. Similarly we can see the word ‘Moulana’ (in Arabic language the word moula also carries the meaning of ‘master’) represents jalauddin Rumi. The magic of being collective noun, a particular noun in their life is not accidental. Vice versa, it was the result of admiration of the people. When we know the importance of the message that they conveyed to the humanity, we can certainly say that they deserve to be called so. As far as concerning Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti he had heavy responsibilities in Indian subcontinent as the people had degenerated in religious, social, political and cultural facets. By spreading the everlasting messages of love, consideration, charity and broadmindedness he redirected the flow of the history of Indian subcontinent. The records show that by the attraction to his charming personality, about 90 million people had embraced Islam. Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti was the contribution of Chishtiyya Sufi order, a well known and far rooted mystical way in the world established by Abu Ishaq al Shami in Herat, Afghanistan in 930 CE. From the beginning of its formation, it is standing for the spreading of the universal message of Islam. -
Mughal Warfare

Gommans also details practical and tech- 20111 nological aspects of combat, such as gunpowder technologies and the 1 animals used in battle. His comparative analysis throws new light on much- 2 contested theories of gunpowder empires and the spread of the military 3 revolution. 4 As the first original analysis of Mughal warfare for almost a century, this 5 will make essential reading for military specialists, students of military history 6 and general Asian history. 7 8 Jos Gommans teaches Indian history at the Kern Institute of Leiden 9 University in the Netherlands.

Townsend, Nina Laurie, Meena Poudel and Diane Richardson Introduction The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR, 2013, Stateless people p.1) estimates that ‘Statelessness is a massive problem that affects an estimated 12 million people worldwide’i. In many parts of the world many people, women in particular, are still non-citizens, so that basic legal, political and/or welfare rights have not yet been attained. Exclusionary policies lie at the root of many statelessness situations. We argue here that citizenship has widely been constructed in a male image, because for women access to citizenship has historically been linked to motherhood in the context of heterosexual marriage. A new literature linking the discourses of citizenship, development and sexualities has appeared, but such debates must be situated within particular socio-economic and geo- political contexts: case studies are needed. Our case study is with a number of women in Nepal: ‘returnees’ or ‘survivors’, women who have been trafficked, usually for sexual purposes, to India or beyond and have managed to return to a difficult situation. -

Is Online Discussion a Viable Strategy for Higher Education in Developing Countries
Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 203 SHAH ABDUL LATIF BHITAI, LALON SHAH AND QAZI NAZRUL ISLAM’S CONTRIBUTTION TO SUFISM Mohammad Abu Tayyub Khan* Abstract: Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1688-1752) is undeniably the greatest Sufi poet of Sindhi Language. His nearest Bengali language bards are Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam of Bangladesh. Shah Abdul Latif was born in an illustrious family in 1102 Hijri i.e. 1688 A.D. at Bhainpur, a village near Khatian Halla Taluka district Hyderabad, Sindh. His father Syed Habibullah himself was an outstanding Sufi poet. His forefather had migrated to Sindh from Arab peninsula and his descent is traced back to Prophet Mohammad (Peace upon him). In Bangla literature Fakir Lalon Shah (1774-1890) and Qazi Nazrul Islam (1899- 1976) are two most popular poets and maestros who have become famous for their respective mystical trends in folklores and modern songs. They made most of the mystic rhymes of their own like Shah Latif Bhitai. Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam shared Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s School of Sufism and search for divine union with Great Self. They allegorically employed heroines from local folk stories in their poetry to expound complicated and abstract ideas of Sufism to the masses. The trio evidently appears to have benefited from the most revered and read mystic poet Maulana Rumi across the globe. * Dr Muhammad Abu Tayyub Khan, Assistant Professor, Department of Bangali, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan 204 Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Lalon Shah and Qazi Nazrul Islam’s Contribution to Sufism Mysticism and Sufism Sufism has been described differently by scholars but they all consider it as being the inner, esoteric, mystical, or purely spiritual dimension of the religion of Islam. -
