In a society, known for its conservative approach and attitude, several subjects have long not been discussed in a public discourse. This study explores how the media revolution of the 21st century is changing this situation by compromising and recontextualizing these taboos, as depicted through a text or talk. In recent years, the country's private TV industry has depicted some highly unpleasant topics in its dramas. The critical perspective of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe (1985) probes deeply into the discourse of TV dramas to uncover the hidden ideologies behind the words in broader social and cultural contexts. To show this change, this study analyzes six Pakistani dramas dealing with hitherto tabooed topics to reveal the pros and cons of the growing ideological trends in Pakistani TV Dramas. First, the study outlines the significance of drama in shaping and recontextualizing ideologies. Second, it outlines certain salient taboo features applicable to almost every play. Finally, it suggests a few improvements in a bid to make things better. Keywords: Recontextualizations of Ideologies, Taboos, Pakistani TV Dramas, Critical Study.

  • National Law University, Orissa
    Prospectus 2011-12 National Law University, Orissa Hon'ble Justice K G Balakrishan, the then Chief Justice of India and Visitor of NLUO along with Chief Minister and Law Minister of Orissa Visitor's Message As the Visitor of the National Law University, Orissa, nominated by Hon'ble the Chief Justice of India, I would like to write a few words about the progress made by the University. In less than two years, the University has acquired a reputation for diversity in teaching, research, academic staff and students. NLUO prides itself on being a law university, which promotes legal education from cross disciplinary perspective, thus serving the cause of integrated knowledge. In my opinion, the defining attribute of this law university is its compelling vision of legal education. It is reflected in its effort to create an intellectual ambiance to ensure that the study of the law is firmly grounded in real-world experience and practice. It thus ensures that NLUO graduates are equipped with dynamic intellectual energy to offer outstanding contributions to society throughout their professional careers. With an active Chancellor in the Chief Justice of Orissa, dedicated Vice-Chancellor, unmatched faculty, motivated students, innovative course curricula and pedagogic method, NLUO surely has a very bright future ahead of it. The State Government has extended financial grants for putting up the infrastructure of the University and the class-rooms, administrative block and the hostels in the new campus in CDA are under construction. With all the facilities in place, I am sure, the NLUO will, in the near future, produce good and capable leaders of the Bar and the Bench.

  • National Human Development Report
    Pakistan National Human Development Report Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan The front cover of this report represents a vi- sual exercise depicting Pakistan’s youth as a 100 young people. Our wheel of many colours represents the multiple dimensions of what it means to be young in Pakistan today. Based on national data as well as results of our own sur- veys, the Wheel presents a collage of informa- tion on Pakistan’s young people (details in Chap- ter 2). This tapestry shows the diversity as well as vibrance of our youth, while also highlighting the inequities and hurdles they face as young Pakistanis. We chose the Wheel as this Report’s motif and cover art, because it represents not only the basis of our hopes for the future, but also our concerns. Diagram inspired by Jack Hagley’s ‘The world as100 people’. Pakistan National Human Development Report 2017* Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan *NOTE: The data (including national statistics, survey results and consultations) in this report was mostly completed in 2016. Published for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Reports: In 1990, Dr. Mahbub ul Haq produced the first Human Develop- ment Report, introducing a new concept of human development focusing on expanding people’s opportunities and choices, and measuring a country’s development progress though the richness of human life rather than simply the wealth of its economy. The report featured a Human Devel- opment Index (HDI) created to assess the people’s capabilities. The HDI measures achievements in key dimensions of human development: individuals enabled to live long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living.
