پروفیسر خلیق احمد نظامی

پروفیسر خلیق احمد نظامی کی یاد میں
(پروفیسر اصغر عباسی)
’’نظامی صاحب بلند پایہ عالم اور ملک کے ممتاز مورخ اور دارالمصنفین کے رکن رکین تھے، ان پر بعض مشہور اہل قلم سے جن کو ان سے گہری واقفیت تھی، مضمون لکھنے کی فرمایش کی گئی ہے، اس مضمون میں ان کی زندگی کے ایک خاص پہلو ہی سے گفتگو کی گئی ہے‘‘۔ (ض)
خلیق احمد نظامی صاحب کے نام نامی سے میں علی گڑھ آنے سے پہلے ہی واقف ہوچکا تھا لیکن ملاقات ۱۹۶۸؁ء میں ہوئی جب راقم الحروف سرسید ہال کا طالب علم تھا اور وہ اس کے پرووسٹ مقرر ہوئے تھے۔
نظامی صاحب متوسط قد کے تھے لیکن ان کا جسم ایسا تھا کہ ہر لباس خواہ ہندوستانی ہو یا انگریزی ان پر خوب پھبتا تھا، ان کا رنگ گندمی تھا جس کی وجہ سے ان کے سفید بالوں کی جو قدرے لمبائی لیے ہوئے تھے سپیدی کا احساس بڑھ جاتا تھا۔ ان کی آنکھیں بڑی نہیں تھیں لیکن نہایت روشن تھیں جن میں ایک خاص چمک تھی، ان کے چہرے سے رعب عیاں ہوتا تھا لیکن خوف بالکل نہیں معلوم ہوتا تھا۔
نظامی صاحب مجسم علم تو تھے ہی لیکن ان کے سرتاپا عمل ہونے کا عقدہ اس وقت کھلا جب انہوں نے پہلی بار یونیورسٹی میں انتظامی عہدہ سنبھالا اور سرسید ہال میں پرووسٹ ہوکر آئے، ان کے زمانے میں ہال نے بڑی ترقی کی۔ میں اس کا عینی شاہد ہوں کہ وہ ہال کے دفتر میں حساب کا ایک ایک رجسٹر دیکھتے، مددگاروں کو انتظامات کی ایک ایک جزئی باتیں سمجھاتے انہیں راستہ بھی دکھاتے اور ایک ایک کام کی تاکید بھی کرتے اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہوا کہ ہال کے درد و دیوار سے لے کر اس کے سبزہ زار تک سب سرسبز اور شاداب ہوگئے۔ دراصل ہال کی...

Social Framework Analysis Through Oedipus Complex in Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers

Sons and Lovers has always been posing problems for the teachers, during classroom critical discussions on the novel on account of its undue association with Freud’s concept of Oedipus complex and his focus on sexual instincts. Readers are forcibly led to the conclusion that there is convincing evidence of unconscious sexual attraction between Gertrude (the mother) and William and Paul (her sons) throughout the novel. The novel basically focuses on the individual’s mental and behavioral struggle to locate his own place in the social setup in pursuit of his dignity. An open-minded close examination of the novel makes one realize that it hardly deserves to be labelled as an illustration of Freud’s theory of Oedipus complex. Paul’s struggle for recognition and acceptance in the society is the central theme of the novel, which puts him in trying conditions and relations and leaves him struggling to adjust his place in quest of self-esteem and recognition. The more he tries to get satisfaction, the more he becomes disillusioned. Consequently, dissatisfaction leads him to interact with different people and he experiences maladjustment. The object of this paper is to analyze Paul’s relations with other main characters in the novel in order to diagnose the cause of his discontentment in his relations with them. An attempt has been made to view his predicament in the light of psychological and social cross-currents that pervade his behavior through-out the novel, Paul finds intellectual harmony with Miriam as her feelings match with those of his. Like Paul, she also wants to achieve something great. A cleavage occurs in their relationship when Miriam shows her reluctance to fulfil his carnal desires, as being unethical and contrary to her spiritual ideals. Paul’s sensual desires are fulfilled by Clara, a woman promising physical satisfaction but devoid of aesthetic sensibilities, which again compel him to turn to some new destinations. A thorough analysis of the novel Sons and Lovers clearly reveals that there is very little influence of Oedipus complex, while there is a strong chemical bond and natural affection between the mother and son which is a natural human instinct. Paul finds solace in the company of Gertrude simply on account of natural reasons and not for any amoral urge like Oedipus complex.

Spatial Patterns of Tuberculosis in the Punjab

The present research is an attempt to explore the occurrence and clustering of tuberculosis patterns in the Punjab, Pakistan. The Punjab, which is the largest province of Pakistan, is selected to examine the patterns of TB from 1990 to 2005. Higher disease rates are found in big cities in 1990. South Punjab was found severely affected throughout the study period. Kulldorff Spatial Scan Test also identified disease dusters in major cities. Moreover, the diseases clusters have shifted from central and north Punjab to the south Punjab during this period. The disease proportion is found higher in females than males. Low income, larger families, illiteracy, and over crowdedness are found important factors in the disease patterns. The knowledge about the disease such as symptoms, causes and precautions is found very poor in the patients. The analysis of healthcare services revealed that the accessibility, time, and cost are important issues for the poor patients. Inequality in the distribution of healthcare services in various districts of the Punjab province is a major concern which is verified by the use of techniques such as Lorenz curve and Gini index.
