(Corresponding Author) Dr. Naela Aamir Associate Professor, College of Art & Design ABSTRACT KEYWORDS: Calligraphy has been an expression of Muslim artistic CALLIGRAPHY, identity since the arrival of Islam. It primarily grew PAINTERLY out of the significance of Qur’an as sacred text and CALLIGRAPHY , was driven by the aesthetics of ornament central to SACRED TEXT , Islamic art. Since Pakistan sought a national identity ISLAMIC ART , after Partition, art forms of the Islamic world became PAKISTANI ART , one of the main frontiers of expressing a unique SOUTH ASIA , identity. However, as the first few decades of MODERNISM, Pakistan coincided with a greater interaction with QUR'AN TEXT , the West, a new visual idiom developed in calligraphy ART IN PAKISTAN as well; the Painterlys Calligraphy. This paper . describes how Pakistani Calligraphers, spearheaded by creative imagination, broke from tradition and infused aesthetics of modern art in indigenous sensibility.

  • Newroad Map for 'US-Chinese Relations'
    CSSForum.com.pk Content Copyright © jWorldTimes.com Jahangir World Times Published: May, 2013 NewRoad Map for 'US-Chinese Relations' The article presents a detailed analysis of Sino-US relations focusing especially on the future prospects for two super powers. The critique has been written in the wake of the second term of US President Barack Obama and the regime change in China. Hope We Still Have Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Debate about the future of US-Chinese relations is currently being driven by a more assertive Chinese foreign and security policy over the last decade, the region's reaction to this and Washington's response to Asia. Now it is clear that the USA will remain in Asia for the long haul, the time is ripe for both countries to take stock, look ahead and reach some long-term conclusions as to what sort of world they want to see beyond the barricades. Asia's central task, in future, is to avoid major confrontations between the US and China; a difficult but doable task. It requires both parties to understand each other thoroughly, to act calmly despite provocations and to manage the domestic and regional forces that threaten to pull them apart. This requires a deeper and more institutionalized relationship -- one anchored in a strategic framework that accepts the reality of competition, the importance of cooperation and the fact that these are not mutually exclusive propositions. Hidden Dragon No Longer The speed, scale and reach of China's rise are unprecedented. Within 30 years, China's economy has grown to larger than all countries, except USA.

To Count The Life Of Battle Good And Dear The Land That Gave You Birth. And Dearer Yet The Brotherhood That Binds The Brave Of All The Earth. To-Day And Here The Fight’s Begun Of The Great Fellowship You’re Free. Hencefoth The School And You Are One And What You Are, The Race Shall Be. Message from The Principal I am delighted to welcome you to Lawrence College, Pakistan’s premier residential institution. Located in the heart of Murree’s greenery the College provides a very beautiful, serene and safe environment. This, combined with a healthy and invigorating climate provides ideal conditions for academic, sports and co-curricular activities. Our inclusive ethos and commitment to the highest standards of all round education have ensured an enviable reputation for Lawrence College. We are proud and gratified that our students come from all over Pakistan and represent a broad cross section of society making LCGG a mini-Pakistan in the truest sense. We are justifiably proud of our academic performance, but at LCGG education means much more than the pursuit of top grades. Character building, instilling high moral values, development of wholesome personality and awareness of societal obligations are central to what we offer here. We are acutely aware of our obligation to equip our students to make their way in the world as confident, caring, dignified and responsible global citizens.
