In the first phase, four colleges have been selected. Initially 2-year Associate Degree (equivalent to Bachelors Degree) on semester system basis is being offered in Commerce, IT, Media and Fine Arts. The rationale behind the Community College Program is to produce skilled human resource. The traditional 2-year Bachelors Degree offered in public colleges develop no marketable skills. PHEC, realizing the incongruence of curricula with the Dr. Shahid Saroya, DG PHEC Dr. Nizamuddin, Chairman PHEC market, economy and society, is taking steps to bridge this gap by introducing a 2-year Associate Degree on the model of n Govt.

  • Lament of Ahmad Khani: a Study of the Historical Struggle of the Kurds for an Independent Kurdistan
    Lament of Ahmad Khani: A Study of the Historical Struggle of the Kurds for an Independent Kurdistan Erik Novak Department of Political Science Villanova University The Kurdish poet Sheikmous Hasan, better known as Cigerxwin, wrote these words as part of his much larger work, Who Am I? while living in exile in Sweden. “I am the proud Kurd, the enemies’ enemy, the friend of peace-loving ones. I am of noble race, not wild as they claim. My mighty ancestors were free people. Like them I want to be free and that is why I fight, for the enemy won’t leave in peace and I don’t want to be forever oppressed.”1 Although Hasan, who died in 1984, was a modern voice for Kurdish nationalism, he is merely one of a chorus of Kurds reaching back centuries crying out for a free and independent Kurdish state, unofficially named Kurdistan. Although the concept of nationalism is common today, the cries of the Kurds for their own state reach back centuries, the first written example coming from the Kurdish poet Ahmad Khani in his national epic Mem-o-Zin in 1695. Mem-o-Zin actually predates the French Revolution of 1789, which is often thought to be the true beginning of the concept of a national state. Despite having conceived of nationalism for the Kurds nearly a century ahead of France and the rest of Western Europe, the Kurds lack a state of their own. What are the origins of Kurdish nationalist thought and how has it evolved over the years? To answer this question, we will track the evolution of Kurdish nationalist thought from its origins during the Ottoman Empire, 1 through World War I and up to the present by looking at the three successor states of the Ottoman Empire that contain the largest Kurdish populations: Turkey, Iran, and Iraq.

The existence of every creature is through Him and by Him. Every opening and closing is within His comprehension. The greatest of minds stumble in trying to grasp the vastness of His sovereignty. No imagination is capable of penetrating even to the threshold of His grandeur and no calculation will ever complete the reckoning of His favors. Each day to Him is a matter of great moment and every moment of time a benevolence (from Him). Flowing through the heavens is the power of His glory Drawn over the earth are the skirts of His mercy.

They have historically inhabited the mountainous areas to the South of Lake Van and Lake Urmia, a geographical area collectively referred to as Kurdistan. Most Kurds speak Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji) or Sorani, which both belong to the Kurdish languages. There are various hypotheses as to predecessor populations of the Kurds, such as the Carduchoi of Classical Antiquity. The earliest known Kurdish dynasties under Islamic rule (10th to 12th centuries) are the Hasanwayhids, the Marwanids, the Rawadids, the Shaddadids, followed by the Ayyubid dynasty founded by Saladin. The Battle of Chaldiran of 1514 is an important turning point in Kurdish history, marking the alliance of Kurds with the Ottomans. The Sharafnameh of 1597 is the first account of Kurdish history. Kurdish history in the 20th century is marked by a rising sense of Kurdish nationhood focused on the goal of an independent Kurdistan as scheduled by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. Partial autonomy was reached by Kurdistan Uyezd (1923–1926) and by Iraqi Kurdistan (since 1991), while notably in Turkish Kurdistan, an armed conflict between the Kurdish insurgent groups and Turkish Armed Forces was ongoing from 1984 to 1999, and the region continues to be unstable with renewed violence flaring up in the 2000s.

  • The Issuing of an Attention-Demanding Proclamation
    92 Fayz Muhammad “Katib” Events of the Year One Thousand Three Hundred and Five Hijri, Down to the Beginning of Which Year Seven Years, Three Months, and Twenty-Five Days Have Passed Since the Auspicious Accession to the Throne of His Majesty At the beginning of this year, Yafiqub fiAli, Muhammad Tahir, and Muhammad fiAli the sons of Sayyid Ahmad, one of the sayyids of Sarab of Ghaznin, had built a well-fortified six-tower fort. Despite the royal might they had shown themselves to be willful and unsubmissive and had picked a fight with Ghulam Husayn Khan, the son of Gulistan Khan Hazarah, over a tenancy matter involving the people of Sarab. Because of this and also because of the fact that they had been acting arbitrarily in seizing property belonging to Afghan nomads and robbing them with impunity and bringing grief and injury to the people, a farman went out from His Majesty to Sardar Muhammad Hasan Khan, the governor of Ghaznin, telling him to arrest the men, send them to Kabul and confiscate their money and property for the royal purse (kh�lißah). Thereupon (the governor) quickly dispatched Muhibb fiAli Khan, the kütw�l with Muhammad Din ßad-b�shı and a group of Sakhlu infantry to Sarab and they confiscated the fort, and the money and property of those sayyids. The ßad-b�shı went to Nahur to confiscate their forts and property there and brought them all into the confines of the confiscation accounts. Yafiqub fiAli who had at this time had just come to Kabul was arrested and jailed.
