پاکستانی رقص ،ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ اور مرشد یوسفی
میں نے دکتور محمود سے کہا کہ پاکستان میں مختلف زبانوں اور رسم و رواج کے لوگ آباد ہیں ۔اس لیے وہاں ایک نہیں بلکہ کئی طرح کے رقص ملتے ہیں ۔پنجاب میں بھنگڑا ،لڈی ،سمی اور گدا وغیرہ شا مل ہیں۔ اسی طرح بلوچی چاپ ،جھومر اور لیوا رقص کرتے ہیں۔سندھی تہذیب میں دھمال اور ہو جمالو کا بہت زیادہ رواج ہے چونکہ سندھ صوفیا کی سر زمین ہے اس لیے ان کے مزاروں پر دھمال ڈالی جاتی ہے ۔جس میں وجد کی حالت میں مدھم سروں پر رقص کیا جا تا ہے ۔اس طرح پختونخواہ میں اتن خٹک اور چترالی و گلگتی رقص کو رواج ہے ۔خٹک رقص تلواروں کے ساتھ کیا جاتا ہے ۔ دکتور محمود نے کہا عرب میں بھی تلواروں کے ساتھ رقص کیا جاتا ہے ۔میں نے کہاجی بالکل میں نے سعودی شاہ سلمان کے ساتھ امریکی صدر ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ کو یہ رقص کرتے دیکھا ہے ۔اس پر دکتور محمود نے خوب قہقہہ لگایا کہنے لگے اس میں ٹرمپ وہی لگ رہے تھے جس کا ذکر آپ کے مرشد یوسفی نے لغت میں دیکھا تھا۔
میں نے دکتور محمود کو مخاطب کیا کہ آپ کو معلوم ہے پاکستان کے شمال میں کیلاش قوم آباد ہے جو بالکل منفرد تہذیب اور الگ تھلگ بود باش کے لوگ ہیں ۔ان کی خواتین خوبصورت زرق برق لباس زیب تن کیے سروں پر خوبصورت مالا پروئے ٹوپیاں پہنے ، کندھے سے کندھا ملائے ڈھول کی تھاپ کے ساتھ مدھم انداز میں ٹواینڈ فرو موشن میں رقص کرتے ہیں ، مگر حیرت کی بات یہ ہے کہ جب یہ لوگ اپنے مردے دفناتے ہیں تب اس رقص کا خوب اہتمام کیا جاتا ہے ۔اس نے حیرت سے پوچھا کہ تدفین کے وقت...
Islam and the West are two competitor civilizations of 21st century. West is much fear by the rapid expansion of Islam. It is imagined that very soon Islam is going to become a major religion of the Europe. Now European think tanks are constantly working to present a negative picture of Islam. Bernard Lewis is trying his best to prove that Islam is not a suitable civilization and religion for the world. As there are different classes of citizens within Islamic State and society and all the citizens are not equal in Islamic teachings and practice like women, slaves and Non-Muslims. Whereas, his presented theories are quite different than real teachings and practice of Islam. All the citizens of Islamic State are equal before law but there is difference of responsibilities according to their abilities. This article is presenting a critical and real discussion about the social inequalities blamed by Bernard Lewis, existing in Islamic state and society.
The present study was aimed at investigating the moderating role of perceived organizational politics between perceived organizational support, transformational leadership and internal locus of control with their attitudinal and behavior work outcomes among university teachers in Pakistan. This study also explored the relationship of gender, job status, educational sector, educational level and geographic location with perceived organizational politics, perceived organizational support, transformational leadership, internal locus of control, affective organizational commitment, normative organizational commitment, in-role job performance (self-reported), organizational citizenship behavior toward individuals, organizational citizenship behavior toward organization, turnover intention and occupational stress among university teachers in Pakistan. This study was divided into three phases. First phase of this study was aimed at adapting the scales used in this study. It included tryout, expert opinion and committee approach. Second phase of the study was comprised of the pilot study. Finally, third phase of the current study was comprised of the main study to test all the proposed relationships among the variables of this study. Sample of the pilot study included 138 university teachers while main study included 450 university teachers from Islamabad (Capital), Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlational analysis, multiple regression analysis, t-test and one way ANOVA were computed to measure the proposed relationships in the study. Correlational analysis showed perceived organizational politics to have a significant relationship with perceived organizational support, transformational leadership, affective and normative organizational commitment, in-role job performance (self-reported), organizational citizenship behavior toward organization, turnover intention and occupational stress among university teachers in Pakistan. Perceived organizational support and transformational leadership were shown to have significant relationship with affective and normative organizational commitment, in-role job performance (self-reported), organizational citizenship behavior toward organization, turnover intention and occupational stress among university teachers in Pakistan. Moderation analysis showed perceived organization politics only moderated the relationship of perceived organizational support with affective organizational commitment and in-role job performance (self-reported) among university teachers in Pakistan. Perceived organizational politics moderated the relationship of transformational leadership with affective organizational commitment, in-role job performance (self-reported), turnover intention and occupational stress among university teachers in Pakistan. While, perceived organizational politics only moderated the relationship of internal locus of control with affective organizational commitment among university teachers in Pakistan. It is worth mentioning that usually perceived organizational politics was not found to moderate as predicted, while it moderated in only a few of the proposed relationships.. It is also worth mentioning that all the scales used in this study are self-report measures. Analysis for the relationship of gender, geographic location, job status, educational sector and educational qualification with the study variables, limitations, suggestions and implications of the study are also discussed in detail. Suggestions for future research endeavors and implications of the current study for university teachers in Pakistan have also been discussed.
