خودروزگاری کیوں اور کیسے؟
زندگی اللہ تعالیٰ کی ایک نعمت ہے، زندہ رہنے کے لیے انسان کو کئی مراحل سے گزرنا پڑتا ہے۔ کبھی اس کی صغرسنی ہوتی ہے،کبھی عالم شباب ہوتا ہے اور ایک وقت ایسا آتا ہے کہ پیرانہ سالی کا شکار ہوکرداعی اجل کو لبیک کہہ دیتا ہے۔ ان ادوارِ حیات میں زندگی کی بوقلومونیوں سے واسطہ پڑتا ہے۔ کبھی ایسا وقت ہوتا ہے کہ اس کے دستر خوان پرانواع واقسام کے کھانے چنے ہوتے ہیں اورکبھی ایسی بھی گھڑی آتی ہے کی کئی کئی دن معدودے چند لقموں کے علاوہ دستر خوان پرکوئی قابلِ ذکر چیز نہیں ہوتی ۔لیکن ذی شعور انسان کبھی پستی کا شکار نہیں ہوتا۔ ہمہ وقت کدو کاوش کرتا رہتا ہے۔ اور یوں اس کے ایّام زیست کروٹیں بدلتے ہوئے گزر جاتے ہیں۔
انسان کی یہ بات فطرت میں شامل ہے کی وہ اچھے سے اچھے اور بہتر سے بہتر کی تلاش میں سر گرداں رہتا ہے۔ ملک میں اگر روزگار کے مواقع حکومت عوام الناس کے لیے فراہم نہ کر سکے تو بے روزگاری کے منحوس سائے افق پر منڈ لا نا شروع ہو جائیں ، ہر سوغربت ہی غربت دکھائی دے ، قوم کی کثیر تعدادغربت و افلاس کی لکیر سے نیچے زندگی گزارنے پر مجبور ہو جائے اور کوئی پرسان حال نہ ہو اور کسمپرسی کا شکار لوگ اپنی زندگی کے ہاتھوں پریشان ہوں تو پھر بھی ذی فہم و فراست شخص خود روزگاری کے ذریعے اپنے آپ کو اور اپنے معاشرے کے افراد کو غربت و افلاس کی دلدل سے نکالنے میں اہم کردار ادا کر سکتا ہے۔
حدیث نبوی ہے ’’ الکاسب حبیب اللہ ‘‘حلال روزی کمانے والا اللہ تعالیٰ کا دوست ہوتا ہے۔ اس طرح جو شخص بھی مسلمان ہونے کے ناطے کاروبار سے دلچسپی رکھتا ہے، اپنے اہل خانہ کے لیے دن...
This study aims to examine research papers on religious minorities to determine their issues, rights, and privileges in Pakistan. In a civilized society, everyone has basic rights regardless of race, color, or religion. Everyone has cultural, political, religious, and constitutional freedom in a peaceful society. In general, it is perceived that, in Pakistan, followers of other religions than Islam are not given their essential rights, especially regarding their religious rights. To secure minority participation in decision-making, they may reserve seats in administration and parliament, organize national and local minority consultative organizations, and provide cultural or territorial autonomy. In the context of Pakistan, the school curriculum and state policies are viewed as the primary causes of prejudice against minorities. However, numerous other elements may contribute to the establishment of attitudes about them. Therefore, in order to reveal and appropriately address the issue, this study will use qualitative research methodology with an analytical research approach. Rights, issues, and problems of minorities have been a matter of concern to various scholars, states, and societies throughout history and in the contemporary era too. The study suggests that there should be made awareness at the grassroots level and the removal of obstacles to the greater good of humanity.
Rationalization and Fallacies in Benazir Bhutto's and Pervez Musharraf's Political Autobiographies Political discourse rests heavily on persuasive aspects of language. Political writers use a well-stocked battery of persuasive devices to rationalize their actions or to sway people into a supportive world. Readers and listeners are not normally very analytical or rational in their approaches and responses. Empty rhetoric, falsehood wrapped in piety, plausible deceit, thunderous assertions, misdirected arguments, false conclusions – as long as they succeed in moving people – they will be employed. This may be described as the “dishonest” use of language. However, if the pursuit of power is considered to be legitimate, then all means employed in the realization of that pursuit are legitimized. The present study is not judgmental about these matters. It merely seeks to identify some of the linguistic devices used in the process i.e. the rationalization of the political role besides pointing out some errors in arguments. Pakistani political scenario is permeated with a dichotomy of power between civilian rulers and military dictators. Each claims his/her positive efforts in the welfare and progress of the country, whereas the consequences tell a different story. The social, geographical, political and economic conditions have deteriorated through the sixty-five years’ history of Pakistan. Politicians hold military Generals responsible for these and the latter have the same opinion about politicians. Language is an obvious tool for them to rationalize their roles while in or out of office. Ms Benazir Bhutto’s and General Pervez Musharraf’s political autobiographies entitled “Daughter of the East” and “In the Line of Fire”, respectively, have been selected for this analysis. The analysis has been done under the paradigm of critical discourse analysis to unearth hidden motives and ideologies underneath discourses. The selected models – for the purpose of looking into the linguistic techniques employed by the authors for the rationalization of their rule and logical errors committed in the process – proved useful in validating the purpose for which these are formed. Applying these tools, the researcher was able to uncover a number of rationalizations and fallacies in the autobiographies noted above. The genre of autobiography has also been found useful to examine personal motives of the authors.
