احسان دانشؔ

احسان دانش
کچھ عرصہ سے اس برصغیر کی اردو شاعری کے آسمان پر سیاہ بادل برابر چھائے ہوئے ہیں، فراق گورکھپوری اور جوش ملیح آبادی کے بعد احسان دانش، حفیظ جالندھری اور اب نشور واحدی اﷲ کو پیارے ہوئے۔
ان کی رحلت سے اردو شعر و ادب کے قصر کی رنگارنگی میں بڑی کمی پیدا ہوگئی ہے، احسان دانش نے اپنی زندگی ایک پریشان حال مزدور کی حیثیت سے شروع کی، لیکن اپنی وفات سے پہلے اردو شاعری کے ایک تاجدار تسلیم کرلیے گئے تھے، ۱۹۴۷؁ء سے پہلے وہ اعظم گڑھ کے مشاعروں میں برابر آتے رہے، اس وقت تک ان کے کلام کے مجموعوں میں نفیر فطرت، جادہ نو، چراغاں، درد زندگی، نوائے کارگر، آتش خاموش حدیث ادب اور گورستان وغیرہ چھپ چکے تھے، مشاعرہ کے اسٹیج پر آتے تو ان کے چہرہ سے ان کی زندگی کی سادگی اور پریشانی ظاہر ہوتی، مگر کلام سناتے تو ان کے خیالات کی پرکاری اور رعنائی سے سامعین متاثر ہوکر محسوس کرتے کہ وہ اپنی شاعری میں جادو نو پر چل رہے ہیں، غزلیں سناتے تو تغزل کا چراغاں کرکے درد زندگی کے راز پنہاں کو عیاں کرتے، ان کی زندگی زیادہ تر پریشانیوں میں گزری، مگر وہ آتش خاموش بن کر ایک شاعر کا حق ادا کرتے رہے، اسی لیے ان کی سخنوری نوائے کارگر اور حدیث ادب بنی رہی، ان کی مشق سخن کی کہانی ان ہی کی زبانی یہ ہے کہ جب ان پر جذبہ شاعری طاری ہوتا وہ اپنی روح میں التہاب پاتے اور جب شعر سپرد قلم کردیتے تو محسوس کرتے کہ الفاظ میں، کاغذ پر، دائروں، لفظوں، مرکزوں اور پیوندوں کے نیچے ان کی روح دبتی چلی جارہی ہے، اور جب کوئی نظم پایہ تکمیل کو پہنچ جاتی تو اپنی روح کو سبک اور آرام طلب پاتے، پھر وہ میٹھی نیند...

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto: The Psychodynamics of his Rise and Fall by Shamim Ahmad

Of all the leaders who came to rule Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto has been only second to the Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in terms of receiving attention from authors of different types—biographers, journalists, researchers, and professional historians. While many prime ministers of the country have remained in oblivion even though some of them deserved to be studied seriously given their contribution to the country’s political development, Bhutto was regularly made the subject of studies both within the country and abroad. A number of Ph.D theses have been done on him and his rule. The number of books written by various authors expressing different shades of opinion are simply uncountable. Being the founder of the nation, Jinnah was treated by and large, over an extended period of the country’s history, and by a majority of writers, as a national hero whose role in history was highlighted in the manner in which the nationalist historians write about the national heroes. It was much later that Pakistani historians took to writing more professionally about the Father of the Nation. Quite interestingly, the Jinnah that emerged from these objective histories proved to be a more original and powerful historical figure as compared with his previous representation as a straightjacketed national hero. As compared to him, Bhutto became the subject of objective historical works right from the beginning. Of course, there have been books of hagiography written in his honor, but these are mainly from the pen of people belonging to his own political party or the ones who were overly inspired by his charisma. Then there are numerous books written by his diehard opponents, who leave no stone unturned in demolishing his image. Despite the diverse writings about him, ranging from one extreme to another, it is good, from the point of view of historical political writings on Pakistan, that with the

Ranking in Academic Social Networks

Academic social networks have emerged as an integral part of today’s scholarly societies, being a key resource that facilitates scientific ranking involving authors, publications, and venues (journals, conferences and workshops). Such rankings play an essential role in today’s Scientometrics. In this research, we study and inspect the methods for ranking of academic entities that constitute an academic social network. Ranking of authors is becoming a challenging task with continuous growth in size of computationally analyzable data and dynamic nature of scholarly networks. Ranking of authors is important for academic recommendations tasks like faculty recruitment and promotion, selection of research grants awards, selection of researchers for collaborative research and for review of scientific work. In today’s trans-discipline oriented academic networks, researchers work in collaboration with each other and hence, influence the work and ranking of each other. We understand that, contemplating the impact of an author’s own work along with the influence of his or her collaborators give a complete picture of the standing of an author. Hence, it is not only the author’s own productivity and quality of work that needs to be considered while ranking an authors, the influence of his co-workers needs to be addressed as well. This research ranks authors not only on the basis of their own work but, also quantifies the impact of mutual influence of authors when they work in collaboration, along with exclusivity in their received citations. The work of authors is influenced by the work of their co-authors, more so if coauthors are seniors. Tracking the citations revived by an author is also an important factor to measure the impact of an author. This study proposes Mutual Influence and Citation Exclusivity Author Rank method for finding the mutual influence based positioning of authors along with the analysis of received citations. Thus, we have highlighted the effect of collaboration and the empirical results, when compared with results of baseline methods, show that the proposed method retrieves satisfactory results. These results are applicable in academic recommendation tasks. When it comes to collaboration, if it is with a well-known scientist of a particular field, it can lead a researcher to become a “rising stars”. Rising stars are the researchers who currently have a low profile, but have the ability to become an expert in future. In many nature science domains, while collaboration is inevitably becoming a vital factor for success, cultivation of new promising researchers is becoming a by-product of this process. Young researchers or doctorate candidates can grow up quickly by tutor''s instructions, advanced experimental environment, and fierce competition among themselves. In this research, we study the hypothesis: Does standing on shoulders of a giant can lead you to success? The results show that researchers who are lucky enough to work with a well-known scientist of a field are more productive, collaborative and become influential very soon. The results exhibit a great deal of promise and highly comply with our hypothesis to support and strengthen it. We anticipate that ranking of academic entities within context of topics will grow in importance, as trans-disciplinary collaboration continues to become a norm in scholarly practice. Topic based ranking of authors, papers and journals can serve as a vital tool for identifying authorities of a given topic within a particular domain. Most of the current methods are based on parameters like publication count, citations count and are topic independent, hence ignore the intra-field differences. We introduce a novel method, Domain Specific Indexing, for domain based indexing of authors to measure researcher’s productivity in a given topic. DSI calculates the standing of an author in all topics of his or her interest by considering topic based citations instead of using overall citations like traditional methods. Secondly, we adopted the Similarity measure and Kandal’ Tau for evaluation and comparison of Ad hoc h-index and Domain based Indexing of authors. Results show a great deal of promise for the proposed method. Existing methods that measure topic based scholarly output are limited to homogeneous networks. This study proposes a new informative metric called Topic-based Heterogeneous Rank (TH Rank) which measures the impact of a scholarly entity with respect to a given topic in a heterogeneous scholarly network which contains authors, papers and journals. Results show that TH Rank can effectively identify the most prestigious authors, papers and journals related to a specific topic.
