نواب غلام احمد کلامی مدراسی
ہمارے بوڑھے قومی خدمت گذاروں میں مدراس کے ایک بزرگ نواب غلام احمد کلامی تھے، پچھلے رہنما یاں ملت کے کاموں میں یہ ہمیشہ ہاتھ بٹاتے رہے اور ان کی رفاقت کا دم بھرتے رہے ندوۃ العلماء کی تحریک سے احاطہ مدراس میں جن بزرگوں کو دلچسپی تھی، ان میں ایک نام ان کا بھی ہے اسی تعلق سے ندوہ کی روداد میں اُن کے تذکرے آرہے ہیں مکاتیب شبلی میں مولانا ابوالکلام کے نام کے خطوں میں بھی ان کا ذکر ہے، افسوس ہے کہ مرحوم نے ۸۳ برس کی عمر میں ۲۵ دسمبر ۱۹۴۸ء، ۱۱؍ ماہ صفر المظفر ۱۳۶۷ھ کو بروز جمعرات بوقت عصر اس جہانِ فانی کو الوداع کہا۔
ان کا قیام اور کاروبار کو لارواقع ریاست میسور میں تھا جہاں سونے کی کان ہے۔ وہ ریاست میسور کی اسمبلی میں مسلمانوں کے نمائندہ بھی رہے تھے اور وہاں کے مسلمانوں کی خدمت کرتے تھے معارف کے قدردانوں میں تھے شروع سے اخیر دم تک وہ اس کے خریدار رہے، خاکسار کو سب سے پہلے ۱۹۱۲ء میں جب مدراس میں بنگلور ایجوکیشنل کانفرنس میں شرکت کا اتفاق ہوا تو اس تقریب سے مرحوم کی خدمت میں کولار حاضر ہونے کا بھی موقع ملا تھا، اور انہی کے توسط سے کولار کے طلائی معدن کے کارخانہ کو دیکھنے کا اتفاق ہوا تھا اس کے بعد میسور کی طرف جب جانا ہوتا ان سے نیاز حاصل ہوتا رہا کبھی کبھی خط و کتابت کا بھی اتفاق ہوتا تھا بہت نیک ملنسار اور متواضع بزرگ تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائیں۔ (سید سلیمان ندوی، مارچ ۱۹۴۸ء)
There are different theories about languages in the world. Linguistics provided different views on the origin of different languages. The Punjabi language is a one of the oldest languages in the world. According to my view, its origin is Dakan, Punjab, Sind etc. This article explores the effects of the Harappan Era on the Punjabi language. Historical references have been made to prove that the language of Harappa was ancient Punjabi.
Security and stability is first priority of foreign policy of any state in world. In the perspective of South Asia, states feel themselves insecure as well as instable because of inter-state and intra-state conflicts. These issues are of political, territorial as well as ideological kinds. In current regional environment, foreign states make various strategies to secure their own interests and among these strategies, alliance making is the most prominent. When different countries find some common objectives and interests they put common efforts to achieve those interests. In South Asia, US and Indian common objectives brought both of the states close to each other. Indian ambitions to acquire its status of regional power and US wishes to contain China to maintain its superior designs in world and especially in South Asia. Both India and US have a claim to be the champion of democracy in world and believe that they will go for any point for insurance of global democratic values. These kinds of common interests along with global war on terrorism brought both states closer to each other and US foreign policy for India resulted in Nuclear Deal between them. Which will not only cause disturbance for regional security environment but imbalance of power is also obvious in South Asia. US foreign policy tilt towards India will put severe impacts on the South Asian security. Pakistan and India are nuclear states in South Asia and always seem in continuous phase of enmity. Strategic as well as economic cooperation between two states will bring serious concerns not only for Pakistan but for security of whole South Asia. US foreign policy shift will tilt overall balance of power towards India and obvious results will be destruction, political and economic instability and aggravation in enmity rather than friendship. India and Pakistan are nuclear states and in case of any serious clash result will be the more devastating. The possession of sophisticated weapons like biological, chemical and physical nuclear weapons can be dangerous and devastating for South Asian security. Many political thinkers and scholars from South Asia have discussed fear of this nuclear flashpoint many times in their articles and research work. Terrorism, nuclear terrorism and nuclear deals are putting oil on fire in deteriorating the security structure and security architecture of South Asia. US is fighting against terrorists in Afghanistan along with NATO and its ally. The military forces of Pakistan are curbing the roots of terrorism in their home for domestic and regional peace and stability. On the other hand, India has no cordial relations with its neighbors which is an alarming situation for South Asian security. In these circumstances, US must opt balanced policies towards this region so that balance of power could not divert to any side. This will not only bring prosperity and peace in South Asia but it will also ensure that US is a real champion of democracy. It is high time to go forward and resolve disputes through peaceful means for regional security, stability, development and prosperity without using coercive means. World Leadership should take flexible and bold steps to settle their differences. These steps should be followed by composite dialogues, Confidence Building Measures (CBMs), Track II and Back-Channel diplomacy for peaceful conflict resolution & management.
