ڈاکٹر شجاعت علی سندیلوی
دسمبر کے آخری عشرے میں اردو کے ایک بڑے عاشق و مجاہد، اچھے استاد اور صاحب قلم ڈاکٹر شجاعت علی سندیلوی چل بسے۔ وہ ۱۹۱۶ء میں اودھ کے مشہور قصبہ سندیلہ کے ایک علمی خانوادے میں پیدا ہوئے، ان کے والد مولوی عنایت علی صدیقی بھی ذی علم شخص تھے۔
شجاعت صاحب کا اصل مشغلہ درس و تدریس تھا۔ ممتاز ڈگری کالج اور لکھنو یونیورسٹی میں اردو کی تدریسی خدمات دے کر سبکدوش ہوئے تو اپنے گھر پر اور اردو اکاومی میں طلبہ کو اردو پڑھاتے رہے۔
انہوں نے ’’حالی بحیثیت شاعر‘‘ کے عنوان سے تحقیقی مقالہ لکھ کر پی۔ایچ۔ڈی کی ڈگری لی، ان کا یہ مقالہ کتابی صورت میں چھپ کر مقبول ہوچکا ہے جو حالی پر مستند اور معیاری کام ہے، اس کے علاوہ بھی متعدد ادبی، تنقیدی اور تحقیقی کتابیں یادگار چھوڑیں۔ اردو اور ہندی کی بعض نصابی کتابیں بھی ترتیب دیں۔ وہ اردو کی مختلف تنظیموں سے وابستہ تھے۔ انجمن ترقی اردو اور اترپردیش انجمن اساتذہ اردو کے سرگرم ممبر تھے۔ ادارہ فروغ اردو سے ان کا گہرا تعلق تھا۔ اس کے ماہانہ رسالہ فروغ اردو کے خاص نمبروں کی ترتیب و تدوین میں ان کا بھی حصہ تھا۔
مرحوم اودھ کی روایتی شرافت، وضع داری، تواضع اور اخلاق کا نمونہ اور بڑی پاکیزہ اور دلکش شخصیت کے حامل تھے، راقم کو ان سے دو ایک بار ہی ملنے کا اتفاق ہوا مگر ان کے خلوص، انکسار، شرافت اور شائستگی کا نقش اب تک دل میں بیٹھا ہوا ہے۔
اردو کے اس بحرانی دور میں اس کے ایسے مخلص اور سراپا عمل خدمت گزار کا اٹھ جانا بڑا حادثہ ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے اور ان کے پس ماندگان خصوصاً چھوٹے بھائی شفاعت علی صدیقی صاحب کو صبر و شکیب عطا فرمائے۔ یہ سطریں تحریر کی جاچکی...
Translations have a prominent role in the advancement of science and literature for any people. By which sciences and arts move from the literature of one nation to the literature of another nation, in which sciences and arts flourish, and a nation becomes acquainted with the literature of another nations. Translation is an independent art, as it depends on creativity, linguistic sense and the ability to bring cultures closer, and it enables all mankind to communicate and benefit from each other's experiences. It is an art as old as written literature. Translation is a cultural necessity and an intellectual activity, and it extends bridges of communication between civilizations that converge and diverge among themselves, and their languages are similar and differ in ways of expression and methods of statement and expression of ideas, feelings and attitudes, and in the worldview and understanding of its concepts. There is no doubt that translation it is a complex linguistic process that requires lengthy anchors, as the queen of the two tongues is acquired only by a lot of practice, in addition to the systematic study of the mechanisms of transmission from one tongue to another. We also see in the modern era that the Arab Scientific Academy in Damascus, the Arabic Language Academy in Cairo and the Iraqi Scientific Academy have a clear and prominent role in the advancement of Arabic sciences and literature. The Scientific Academy in Damascus has established the Arabic language and its terminology, and the language of bureaucracies, in particular, with the help of authors and translators in particular, and the Academy of the Arabic Language in Cairo, which has made efforts in developing the great linguistic lexicon and terminology of modern sciences.

No significant difference was found between urban and rural area teachers in case of structure and environment of classroom management and behavior in classroom (p>0.05). It was concluded that there is a need for empowerment of teachers for management of their classrooms. Teachers should be given the opportunity to identify their own needs and should explore innovative ideas and information. It is important for teachers to possess and develop a set of skills to perform their task effectively. Furthermore, they should also think about their classroom management practices.
