Among the major cucurbit vegetables, Cucumis melo has one of the highest polymorphic fruit types and botanical varieties. The present study was performed to evaluate the morphological and genetic diversity among different genotypes of Snapmelon (Cucumis melo var. momordica) taken from all the four provinces of Pakistan. For the morphological diversity various plant, leaf and fruit parameters were studied according to IPGRI-1998 plant descriptor. Data of these parameters was recorded in 40 genotypes of Snapmelon collected from different parts of the country. Young leaves of these genotypes were collected for DNA extraction through CTAB method, which was used for genetic analysis by SSR Markers. Principle component analysis was used to indicate the morphological diversity among 40 genotypes of Snapmelon collected from diverse origins of Pakistan. These showed the highest phenotypic diversity between the wild and the domesticated genotypes of Hyderabad and Nankana (tehsils), respectively. The morphological markers concluded the fact that the diversity exists in the landraces of Snapmelon in vegetative as well as in the reproductive characters. Moreover, the morphological markers revealed that most of the landraces of same geographical area clustered differently, which depicts the movement of the germplasm to other areas through various means. On the contrary, the results of the qualitative and quantitative analysis showed that the few Snapmelon landraces collected from diverse regions clustered together which indicate some type of commonality of origin among the germplasm of those landraces. The results of this research also support the view that morphological and chemical contents in fruits are reliable in estimating genetic relationships among the landraces of Snapmelon and can be used efficiently for discrimination. This study showed that Pakistani Snapmelon germplasm is a rich source of variation for traits of economic interests. This conclusion came from the high significant differences among the Snapmelon germplasm analyzed for quantitative variables combined with high standard deviation values and the presence of two or more phenotypic classes per trait. SSR markers were also tested on Snapmelon germplasm which yielded valuable information on the genetic relationships of these landraces. The genetic analysis through principle coordinate analysis and dendrogram showed that the 13 wild landraces were distinguished from all domesticated landraces collected from various regions of the country. In conclusion, the genetic diversity exists in various traits of Snapmelon landraces which can be further exploited to develop new combinations through conventional or biotechnological tools.

کالی رات

کالی رات

20ستمبر1996ء کی کالی رات (آخری حصہ )

ہمارے گھر (70کلفٹن)کے باہر ہو نے والی شدید فائرنگ 45منٹس کے بعد رک چکی تھی ۔میرے پا پا (میر مرتضی بھٹو)کی اب تک کوئی خبر نہیں تھی ۔میں اپنی امی (غنویٰ بھٹو )کے ساتھ حالات کا جائزہ لینے باہر آئی اور پولیس والوں سے فائرنگ کی وجہ پو چھی تو انھوں نے جواب دیا کہ کچھ ڈاکوئوںسے ہمارا مقابلہ ہوا ہے ۔باہر خطر ہ ہے اس لیے آپ اندر رہیں پولیس والوں پہ یقین کر کے ہم واپس گھر آئے ۔

کچھ دیر بعد مجھے پتہ چلا کہ باہر ہو نے والی فائرنگ کسی اور پہ نہیں بلکہ میرے پا پا اور ان کے ساتھیوں پہ ہوئی ہے ۔فائرنگ بند ہو نے کے بعد 40سے 50منٹس تک میرے پا پا اور ان کے ساتھیوں کو جائے وقوعہ پر ہی تڑپتا چھوڑ دیا گیا ۔جس کا مقصد صرف یہی تھا کہ خون زیادہ بہنے کی وجہ سے تمام زخمی جن میں پا پا بھی شامل تھے اپنے آپ مر گئے ۔

اس پولیس کارروائی کا مقصد صرف ایک ہی تھا میرے پا پا کو قتل کر نا ۔یہ ایک منظم اور طے شدہ منصوبہ تھا ۔جس کی تیاری پولیس والوں کی جانب سے سے پچھلے کئی دنوں  سے جا ری تھی ۔

فائرنگ کے بعد پا پا کے کافی ساتھی موقع پر ہی شہید ہو گئے لیکن پا پا زخمی اور زندہ تھے ۔اگر پاپا کو جلدی سے طبی سہولیات ملتی تو وہ بچ سکتے تھے لیکن پولیس کو پا پا کے قتل کے احکا مات ملے ہو ئے تھے تو وہ کیوں پا پا کو طبی سہولیات دلواتے ۔فائرنگ بند ہونے کے تقریباََ 50منٹس بعد پا پا کو پولیس کی گاڑی میں...

افغانستان کی اسلامی تاریخ کے پیش رو صحابہ کرام: عہد خلافت عمر بن الخطاب رضی اللہ عنہ

The era of caliphate was the golden era of Islam. In this era the boundaries of Islamic state spread far and wide. From the caliphate of Abubakkar saddique (RA) Islamic conquest had started. At that time the Muslim armies reached Syria and Byzentine. But the first arrival of sahaba in Afghanistan was in the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (RA). The torchbearer of Islam came here for the preaching of Islam and to lead these people and turn their lives according to Quran and Sunnah. Before the advent of  Islam Afghanistan was the centre of Buddhist and other several faiths. Through the efforts of these companions of Muhammad (S.A.W) Islam got spread through the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan and all the Pathan tribes enter in the holy deen. In the following lines we will discuss thier efforts and journeys towards Afghanistan.

Sentiment Analysis for Sindhi Text

Sentiment analysis is basically opinion mining or emotion analysis. Many people express their views and sentiments through verbal, non-verbal and written forms to show their opinions and emotions on products, personalities, tourist places, educational institutions, hospitals, historical places, government, restaurants etc. A number of organizations are planning and concentrating on views and opinions of people to get some useful information. The social media, public and private sector organizations websites, web pages, blogs and online surveys are the important sources for getting opinions and reviews of people, thus, word wide web is best source of generating such types of data. Sentiment analysis, review analysis, emotion detection and opinion mining are procedures of analysing the unstructured or structured data for the purpose of evaluation of sentiments and opinions. Sentiments show the scale or level of confidence for positive opinion, negative opinion or neutral opinion or sentiments. Today, sentiments and opinions or reviews evaluation are one of the significant attentions of Natural Languages Processing generally called NLP. Majority of computational linguistics and sentiment analysis etc. software applications are existing for English and some other languages, nonetheless, numerous languages are there which cannot meet the level and category of these types of languages. Though, research studies and tools development processes are in growth for the languages, which are not resourced languages yet. The Sindhi language is an Asian language, which may be called the morphologically rich language, nevertheless, it faces several complexities since evaluating and analysing the online or offline text. Though, lots of data are available online or offline in different forms but yet no appropriate research study or work has discovered in the field of NLP as well as on sentiment analysis for Sindhi language text particularly. The deficiency of development work and research studies as well as technical resources for Sindhi language make the current research work or study interesting and challenging. Viewing and assessing this challenge, we have taken this task to work more to address the problems of Sindhi language data. Therefore, we have focused the construction of text corpus, data set, sentiment analysis system, word tokenization, part of speech tagging as well as subjective lexicon assessment for Sindhi language text. Supporting tools such as Sindhi POS tagger helps in identifying sentiments from Sindhi text corpus. This study has developed the NLP resources including sentiment analysis resources for Sindhi language text. Separate text corpus and linguistic data sets are developed and analysed by machine learning and deep learning models. Machine learning models are trained with small sentiment-based Sindhi training data and large sentiment-based Sindhi training data. The results confirm the proper performance and execution of supervised machine learning models in form of extraction of appropriate sentiments. The sentiment analysis for Sindhi text is done on document-level sentiment analysis, product level and aspect level sentiment analysis. The leaning model is designed and developed for the purpose of sentiment evaluation and analysis for Sindhi language text. Neural network based LSTM model is used with multiple layers to evaluate and validate the sentiment based Sindhi language text and products feature based data set. Results of models confirm the significance of methodology by showing good sentiment analysis and opinion analysis on Sindhi language text. Research study contributes the Sindhi language plain text corpus, linguistics dataset, aspect-based sentiment analysis dataset to the fields of natural languages processing as well as computational linguistics. Sentiment analysis system, which is developed for the Sindhi text is significant and state-ofthe art work. The work places the Sindhi language for international research to explore the grammatical and morphological complexities, perform the information retrieving, language modelling, semantic and sentiment analysis, universal dependencies and unsupervised modelling for text analysis etc.
