  • Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art
    Rienjang and Stewart (eds) Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Edited by Wannaporn Rienjang Peter Stewart Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art Since the beginning of Gandhāran studies in the nineteenth century, chronology has been one of the most significant challenges to the understanding of Gandhāran art. Many other ancient societies, including those of Greece and Rome, have left a wealth of textual sources which have put their fundamental chronological frameworks beyond doubt. In the absence of such sources on a similar scale, even the historical eras cited on inscribed Gandhāran works of art have been hard to place. Few sculptures have such inscriptions and the majority lack any record of find-spot or even general provenance. Those known to have been found at particular sites were sometimes moved and reused in antiquity. Consequently, the provisional dates assigned to extant Gandhāran sculptures have sometimes differed by centuries, while the narrative of artistic development remains doubtful and inconsistent. Building upon the most recent, cross-disciplinary research, debate and excavation, this volume reinforces a new consensus about the chronology of Gandhāra, bringing the history of Gandhāran art into sharper focus than ever. By considering this tradition in its wider context, alongside contemporary Indian art and subsequent developments in Central Asia, the authors also open up fresh questions and problems which a new phase of research will need to address. Problems of Chronology in Gandhāran Art is the first publication of the Gandhāra Connections project at the University of Oxford’s Classical Art Research Centre, which has been supported by the Bagri Foundation and the Neil Kreitman Foundation.

  • A Brief History of Pakistani Fiction and Portrayal Of
    CHAPTER-1 : A BRIEF HISTORY OF PAKISTANI FICTION AND PORTRAYAL OF SOCIETY IN PAKISTANI ENGLISH FICTION 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Percy Bysshe Shelley in his masterpiece A Defence of Poetry has said that poets are ―the unacknowledged legislators of mankind.‖- (Shelly, A Defence of Poetry).The function of a legislator is to lay down the law, a settled course of action that men may follow. All literary works show us various aspects of the society from politics, economics and culture, via various genres of literature from time to time. Literature is considered to be the criticism of life because it mirrors the society, people and the time in which it is produced. Conventionally, literature holds a mirror to life. Corroborating this idea of connection of society and literature, Hippolyte Taine, a French critic gives a scientific approach to the study of literature through his theory of race, milieu and moment. According to this theory Men, Milieu and Message, cannot be separated from literature. As mentioned by the Encyclopedia Britannica: ―Race, milieu, and moment, according to the French critic Hippolyte Taine, are three principal motives or conditioning factors behind any work of art.‖- (―Race,Milieu and Moment‖, Encylopedia Britanica) The philosopher analyses the scientific approach to the work of literature to find out the motivational factor which created that work. To validate what Taine writes, there are many examples of works of literature such as portrayal of social problems during Victorian age in the novels of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, the satirical presentation of society of restoration in the comedy of manners of Oscar Wilde and the portrayal of Indian society in the works of Raja Rao, Bhabhani Bhattacharya, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K.Narayan and Ruskin Bond.

  • Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004
    Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004 Federal Bureau of Statistics Government of Pakistan i Foreword As an inescapable concomitant with the traditional route of development, Pakistan has been facing natural resource degradation and pollution problems. The unsavory spectacle of air pollution, water contamination and other macro environmental impacts such as water logging, land degradation and desertification, are on rise. All this, in conjunction with rapid growth in population, has been instrumental to the expanding tentacles of poverty. In order to make an assessment of the environmental problems as a prelude to arrest the pace of degeneration and, provide for sustainable course of economic development, the availability of adequate data is imperative. This publication is an attempt to provide relevant statistics compiled through secondary sources. The 1st Compendium was prepared in 1998 under the Technical Assistance of Asian Development Bank in accordance with, as far as possible, the guidelines of “United Nations Framework for Development of Environment Statistics (FDES)”. This up-dating has been made without any project facilitation. Notwithstanding exclusive reliance on mail inquiry, all possible efforts have been made to collect available data and, quite a few new tables on quality of water, concentration of dust fall in big cities and, state of air quality in urban centers of Punjab, have also been included in the compendium. However, some tables included in the predecessor of this publication could not be up-dated due either to their being single time activity or the source agencies did not have the pertinent data. The same have been listed at appendix-IV to refer compendium-1998 for the requisite historical data.
