The fieldwork was carried out in Jhokwala Village, Lodhran District through 2010. A rapid population growth in the second half of the last century resulted in an inadequate supply of agricultural land, leading to a gradual shift from an agricultural to the market economy. Many farmers are abandoning agriculture and entering wage labour. This combined with urbanisation, more pervasive telecommunication services, the media, and technological changes has affected shifts in the ways of perceiving and managing time and space. In this thesis, I examine generational changes in the village. There have been generational shifts in the types of calendars and the contexts for which they are used. Household organisation and composition have also undergone dramatic change as a consequence of economic transformations. Fundamental economic changes have included a number of shifts in how people engage with information technologies, the media, and urbanisation. These have resulted in a transformation of the physical layout of the village along with changes in the design and structure of places such as the mosque and the house. Such changes in the physical environment have also triggered a shift in the sociospatial relationships, which has resulted in negotiation of some social boundaries between different gender and social classes. I examine the ways in which changes in the social organisation of time and space are indicative of the pace, direction and mechanism of social change. Time, Space and Social Change in Rural Pakistan An Ethnographic Study of Jhokwala Village, Lodhran District Muhammad Aurang Zeb Mughal Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Anthropology Durham University 2014 اے اسیر دوش و فردا درنگر ,Look O thou enthralled by Yesterday and Tomorrow در دل خود عالم دیگر نگر ,Behold another world in thine own heart در گل خود تخم ظلمت کاشفی ,Thou hast sown the seed of darkness in the clay وقت را مثل خطے پنداشتی ;Thou hast imagined Time as a line باز با پیمانئہ لیل و نہار Thy thought measures length of Time فکر تو پیمود طول روزگار ,With the measure of night and day مسلمی؟ آزاد این زناد باش .Art thou a Moslem? Then cast off this girdle شمع بزم ملت احرام باش .Be a candle to the feast of the religion of the free تو کہ از اصل زمان آگہ نئہ .Knowing not the origin of Time, Thou art ignorant of everlasting life زندگی از دھر و دھر از زندگی ست :Life is of Time, and Time is of Life “Do not abuse Time” was the command of the Prophet. ﻻ تبسو الدھر فرمان نبی ست Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) was a philosopher, poet, and politician. He is regarded as the national poet of Pakistan because his poetry and philosophy inspired the Pakistan Movement. He wrote many books of prose and poetry in English, Persian, and Urdu. Among his many views, he believed that the Islamic conceptualisation of time and space is vital for Muslims at individual and collective levels. The conceptualisation of time and space shapes the worldview of Muslims according to which they maintain their individual as well as social lives and adapt to the changing circumstances of the world. The above poem is from his Persian book Javidnama, translated by Arthur J. Arberry (Allamaiqbal 2013).

  • New Sufi Sounds of Pakistan: Arif Lohar with Arooj Aftab
    Asia Society and CaravanSerai Present New Sufi Sounds of Pakistan: Arif Lohar with Arooj Aftab Saturday, April 28, 2012, 8:00 P.M. Asia Society 725 Park Avenue at 70th Street New York City This program is 2 hours with no intermission New Sufi Sounds of Pakistan Performers Arooj Afab lead vocals Bhrigu Sahni acoustic guitar Jorn Bielfeldt percussion Arif Lohar lead vocals/chimta Qamar Abbas dholak Waqas Ali guitar Allah Ditta alghoza Shehzad Azim Ul Hassan dhol Shahid Kamal keyboard Nadeem Ul Hassan percussion/vocals Fozia vocals AROOJ AFTAB Arooj Aftab is a rising Pakistani-American vocalist who interprets mystcal Sufi poems and contemporizes the semi-classical musical traditions of Pakistan and India. Her music is reflective of thumri, a secular South Asian musical style colored by intricate ornamentation and romantic lyrics of love, loss, and longing. Arooj Aftab restyles the traditional music of her heritage for a sound that is minimalistic, contemplative, and delicate—a sound that she calls ―indigenous soul.‖ Accompanying her on guitar is Boston-based Bhrigu Sahni, a frequent collaborator, originally from India, and Jorn Bielfeldt on percussion. Arooj Aftab: vocals Bhrigu Sahni: guitar Jorn Bielfeldt: percussion Semi Classical Music This genre, classified in Pakistan and North India as light classical vocal music. Thumri and ghazal forms are at the core of the genre. Its primary theme is romantic — persuasive wooing, painful jealousy aroused by a philandering lover, pangs of separation, the ache of remembered pleasures, sweet anticipation of reunion, joyful union. Rooted in a sophisticated civilization that drew no line between eroticism and spirituality, this genre asserts a strong feminine identity in folk poetry laden with unabashed sensuality.

  • Concert SUFI
    18 ianuarie 2017 Recital muzica clasica persana Despre sufi şi muzica persană Muzica sufi are rol devoţional şi de meditaţie şi este practicată de membrii comunităţii ce poartă acest nume. Mişcarea sufi a început în India (pe teritoriul actualului Pakistan) în secolul VIII şi este răspândit astăzi mai ales în Persia, dar şi în Liban, Turcia şi India. În centrul vieţii acestei mişcări se află iubirea reciprocă dintre Dumnezeu şi oameni, respingând, prin urmare, ideea inaccesibilităţii lui Dumnezeu. Filosofia sa este influenţată de mai multe religii: creştinism gnostic, buddhism, zoroastrism, hinduism şi are la bază apropierea faţă de Dumnezeu prin cunoaştere mistică, iubire şi asceză. De-a lungul secolelor, poeţii sufi au devenit cunoscuţi în întreaga lume: Rumi, Hafiz, Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusrow sau Khwaja Ghulam Farid. Cel mai cunoscut gen al muzicii sufi este qawwali întâlnit în special în India şi Pakistanul de astăzi, însă este parte şi din ceremonialul Sema al Dervişilor rotitori, a cărui muzică se numeşte ayin, un gen vocal instrumental popular în Turcia. Un alt gen care aparţine culturii din Vestul Africii este gnawa, iar sufi din Indonezia, Afghanistan şi Moroc folosesc, de asemenea, muzica în practica lor. Genurile laice ale sufiţilor sunt ghazals şi kafi, piese acompaniate de percuţie şi armoniu, scrise pe versuri ale poeţilor menţionaţi anterior. Muzica clasică persană este una modală şi monodică, asemănătoare din punct de vedere al concepţiei celei bizantine şi celei indiene. Cel mai spectaculos în lumea maqamurilor este acordajul. Putem găsi în interiorul unei scări muzicale trei distante de trei sferturi de ton, incredibil de consonante în structura acestora.

  • Muslim Saints of South Asia
    MUSLIM SAINTS OF SOUTH ASIA This book studies the veneration practices and rituals of the Muslim saints. It outlines the principle trends of the main Sufi orders in India, the profiles and teachings of the famous and less well-known saints, and the development of pilgrimage to their tombs in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A detailed discussion of the interaction of the Hindu mystic tradition and Sufism shows the polarity between the rigidity of the orthodox and the flexibility of the popular Islam in South Asia. Treating the cult of saints as a universal and all pervading phenomenon embracing the life of the region in all its aspects, the analysis includes politics, social and family life, interpersonal relations, gender problems and national psyche. The author uses a multidimen- sional approach to the subject: a historical, religious and literary analysis of sources is combined with an anthropological study of the rites and rituals of the veneration of the shrines and the description of the architecture of the tombs. Anna Suvorova is Head of Department of Asian Literatures at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. A recognized scholar in the field of Indo-Islamic culture and liter- ature, she frequently lectures at universities all over the world. She is the author of several books in Russian and English including The Poetics of Urdu Dastaan; The Sources of the New Indian Drama; The Quest for Theatre: the twentieth century drama in India and Pakistan; Nostalgia for Lucknow and Masnawi: a study of Urdu romance. She has also translated several books on pre-modern Urdu prose into Russian.

At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.

  • Correlation of the Burushaski Pronominal System with Indo-European and Phonological and Grammatical Evidence for a Genetic Relationship
    Correlation of the Burushaski Pronominal System with Indo-European and Phonological and Grammatical Evidence for a Genetic Relationship Ilija Çasule Macquarie University The Burushaski personal and demonstrative pronominal system is correlated in its entirety with Indo-European. This close correlation, together with the extensive grammatical correspondences in the nominal and verbal systems (given as an addendum), advances significantly the hypothesis of the genetic affiliation of Burushaski with Indo-European. The article includes a comprehensive discussion of the Burushaski-Indo-European phonological and lexical correspondences. It proposes that Burushaski is an Indo- European language which at some stage of its development was in contact with an agglutinative system. 1. Introduction 1.1. Brief overview of sources and previous studies Being a language with undetermined genetic affiliation, Burushaski has attracted considerable interest, especially in the last twenty years, but also earlier. There have been many attempts to relate it to languages as diverse as Basque, Nubian, Dravidian, various Caucasic as well as Yeniseian languages, Sino-Tibetan and Sumerian (for a brief overview, see Bashir 2000:1-3). These endeavors have failed mostly because of unsystematic or inconsistent correspondences, incorrect internal reconstruction, excessive semantic latitude and incoherent semantic fields, root etymologizing and especially lack of grammatical and derivational evidence. Burushaski is spoken by around 90,000 people (Berger 1990:567) in the Karakoram area in North-West Pakistan at the junction of three linguistic families — the Indo- European (Indo-Aryan and Iranian), the Sino-Tibetan and the Turkic. Its dialectal differentiation is minor. There are Volume 40, Number 1 & 2, Spring/Summer 2012 60 Ilija Çasule three very closely related dialects: Hunza and Nager with minimal differences, and the Yasin dialect, which exhibits differential traits, but is still mutually intelligible with the former two.
