دینی مدارس پر انتہا پسندی اور دہشت گردی کے الزامات: ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ

"An analysis of the allegations of extremism and terrorism against religious institutions (Madrasas)". The priceless services done by the religious scholars for the preservation and uplift of religious and Islamic values in the subcontinent are indelible and unforgettable chapter of history. They geared up progress of religious institutions and the tilt of people towards them of the increasingly charming trend. The Heathen world is afraid of the emerging strongholds of Islam. The repercussions of this trend on society are becoming more and more prominent with the march of time. They are striving for the preservation and identity of the Islamic characteristics. After 9/11 incidents, the west is unable to understand how to detach the religious institutions from the embedded Islamic social integrity. The western media and foreign funded rulers have been endeavoring hard to defame religious institutions through there venomous propaganda against them. All this is visible to everyone. There is no parallel of the religious institutions educational boards (Wafaqs) in and outside the country even no such example is present in the whole Islamic world as well as in the subcontinent. Besides other baseless allegations, religious institutions are branded as terrorists and extremists. The west and America are much worried about the Islamic educational institutions and the Holy war (Jihad). The article encompasses the opinions of the regious as well as secular apostles.

Onshore Offshore Software Process Model

Offshore software development model is one of the most successful development models being adopted by different worldwide organizations. The main reason behind the offshore development is the higher cost of the software development in the local industry. So the organizations take the projects from the local industry and send their projects to their offshore offices where development cost is significantly lower. In countries like Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Philippines etc, most of the software companies are working as offshore development offices. These software companies are using different software development methodologies like Waterfall, Spiral, Iterative, Incremental and Agile. The projects developed by these software companies face time, cost and quality constraints because of opting inappropriate software development lifecycles. A detailed study is conducted by gathering data from different offshore software companies in Pakistan and then based upon this data their common problems are identified. The major problems faced by the software companies in Pakistan include non static and ambiguous nature of requirements which cause the software developers to make certain assumptions. There is no direct interaction between the software developers and the clients, so the product developed is not an exact match of the client requirements and expectations. These issues are major bottleneck in delivering the quality software products in case of offshore development in Pakistan. We propose a new process model that addresses the needs of the onshore/offshore software development industry.
