مولانا عبدالسلام نیازی
افسوس ہے پچھلے دنوں دہلی میں اسّی (۸۰) نوے(۹۰) برس کی عمرمیں مولانا عبدالسلام نیازی کابھی انتقال ہوگیا۔مولانا عجیب وغریب خصوصیات کے بزرگ تھے اورکم ازکم راقم کی نظر سے آج تک کبھی کوئی شخص اس انداز اورادا کا نہیں گزرا۔ صورت شکل کے لحاظ سے ڈاڑھی مونچھ صاف، دراز قامت، کسرتی اور دُہرابدن۔مگر منطق وفلسفہ میں درک وبصیرت اس درجہ کہ صدرا اور شمس بازغہ، حمداﷲ اورقاضی ناخنوں میں پڑی ہوئی۔قرآن سے غیر معمولی شغف ،حضور پُرنورؐ کے ساتھ عشق کایہ عالم کہ نامِ نامی زبان پرآیا نہیں کہ جی بھر آیا اورآنکھیں نم ہو گئیں۔ زورِ تقریر وخطابت اس بلا کاکہ فقرہ فقرہ پرفصاحت وبلاغت صدقہ۔ عرفیؔ، جامیؔاورخاقانیؔ وغیرہم کے ہزاروں اشعار برنوکِ زبان، جھوم جھوم کر پڑھتے اوران کی تشریح کرتے تھے ۔اقلیدس سے حضورؐ کی ختمِ نبوت کے اثبات پر جب تقریر کرتے تھے تواﷲ اکبر! جوش وخروش اورزور وروانی کاکیا منظر ہوتاتھا! محسوس ہوتاتھا کہ ہر شے پر سکتہ طاری ہوگیااور دم بخود ہوکر رہ گئی ہے۔ خود داری اور استغنا اس درجہ کاکہ سراکبر حیدری ایسے لوگ آتے تھے اوریہ شخص تعظیم تک کے لیے کھڑا نہ ہوتا تھا۔ ہمیشہ مجرد رہے۔ عطربناکر گزربسر کرتے تھے۔تحفہ یا نذرانہ قلیل ہویاکثیر، امیر پیش کرے یاغریب کبھی ہرگز قبول نہیں کرتے تھے، اور اگر کبھی کوئی اصرار کرتاتھا توغصّہ میں بھبک کراُس کونہایت مغلظ گالیاں دینے لگتے تھے ۔نماز بے حد خشوع وخضوع سے پڑھتے اورتہجد تک کی پابندی کرتے تھے کبھی کسی کے مکان پرنہیں گئے، ہمیشہ خانہ نشین رہے۔ الھمّ اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔ [جولائی ۱۹۶۶ء]
This study examines the association of living areas (slum and non-slum) with the selected public health-related variables in the presence of socioeconomic variables among married women and also having a child. A total of 150 women aged 18 to 49 are selected of which 50 women from slums and 100 women are from non-slum areas of Multan by applying the cluster and random sampling techniques. The cross-tabulation method is used to find the results. The dependent variable is Body Mass Index (BMI) and it is analyzed with the socio-economic variables such as mass media index, household characteristics and education. The findings exhibit that the BMI of the women living in the slum areas is low due to a low level of education, lack of mass media access, bad household structures, and poor or ignorant area. The women of the slum area have fewer mass media access, poor status of household characteristics and less education as compared to the women living in the non-slum areas. BMI is significantly affected by area, women's education and household characteristics except for physical work, job status, mass media access and husband education. The findings of this study suggest that to provide health facilities or to reduce the gap in public health, education, mass media access and households characteristics might be considered while making any decision related to the slum and non-slum areas.
Inflation affects distribution of income both and wealth. Nominal incomes of some individuals tend to increase with others remain constant inflation, while those of change in the distribution of thus causing a income in favour of group. During early 1970s, it was realized the former the complex that and multidimensional problem of inflation needs a systematic and scientific understanding, examination, investigation and analysis. This study was undertaken to analyze process in Pakistan with reference monetarist, structuralist and the inflationary agriculture to combined and sector. agricultural bottleneck models were used in the analysis of data. A 27 variables were used for Pure the analysis. In all total of the models, annual growth rate in wholesale price index, consumer price index and implicit GNP deflator were considered as dependent variables and regressed with different combinations of variables to examine the effectiveness of these variables on inflation. In monetarist model, Supply), V10 (Annual V5 (Annual Growth Rate year In lag) were found to increase structuralist model, [International + Inter-wing) the V17 one in Consumer Price Index inflation rate. (Imports as per cent of vii in Money in Wholesale Price Index year lag), and Vll (Annual Growth Rate one Growth Rate GNP), + V19 Exports (Extent of ''HP the Non-Con in odity for Incremental Growth in GDP Accounts Producing Sectors), V24 {Indirect Tax Revenues as per cent of and V 2 5 were Taxes in Total Taxes) (Share o£ Indirect variables mostly found causing inflation, whereas, V27 Remittances as per cent of GNP) seemed the to decrease GNP) the ( Hone level of inflation. that V18 While combining the above two models, it was found and V23 (Divergence between (Annual Growth Rate in Import Prices) Inflation Food inflation, Prices while enhanced Index), Price Remittances as per (Home V27 declined significantly Overall and inflation the as home cent of the GNP) remittances increased. The study depicted V22 (extent of excess that the variable on agriculture sector Demand for Food) did not significantly increase inflation. However, it was found that not support inflation in the the variable does structuralist model, while in combined model it does. Results indicated that less than half of the inflation 1 1 experienced by Pakistan over the period 1939-60 to 1979-80 could il be ii attributed to in terna t iona 1 domestic policy action greater factors to reduce and the rate thus of the scope for inflation was than what was thought to have been the case until now. Further studies in the areas of domestic supply of agriculture commodities, imports and exports of agricultural output were suggested in Pakistan to determine the actual inflationary movements and pertinent policy implications,
