This research examines the transformation process of geostrategic strength of Pakistan into geo-economics worth applying the regionalism theory. Pakistan could not clinch potential economic advantages of its geographical significance even after 70 years of its independence. The study area comprised of Pakistan, China and Central Asia which is about 2.25 billion population of the world. The purpose of this research is to explore the regional integration options after development of Gwadar port as a strategic gem of Pakistan and region as well. The energy potential of CARs has also been calculated in detail to foster the energy cooperation among the region. The envisaged conceptualization of CPEC projects with execution details have also been studied along with cognition of irritant and challenges. Although empirical analysis has been confined to three core areas of Economy, Energy and Extremism cooperation but cultural narrative of CPEC has also been taken into account. Now the phenomenon of economic and military rise of China has become perceptible. Hegemonic stability theory has been embedded on the rise of China and its strapping effects on economic growth of Pakistan in the configuration of CPEC. OBOR vision and AIIB initiative of China for building Maritime Silk Road and SREB has grandiose potential to integrate more than 67 counties, 70% of world population, 55% of world GNP and 75% energy reserves of the world with approximately $900 billion investment of China for infrastructure and regional integration. CPEC has transpired as intrinsic part of OBOR that will link not only Kasghar to Gwadar through roads, rails, oil, gas pipelines and optical fiber networks etc. but also will promote trade, energy and economic activities for Central, West, and South Asia. Concurrent nested embedded design of mixed methods along with descriptive analysis has been exercised to find out the facts. Qualitative data through open ended semi structured interviews and Quantitative data from primary and secondary sources have been collected to make the descriptive analysis. The findings of this erudition are that Pakistan’s geostrategic worth is transfiguring into its geo-economic power but impediments are numerous. It is established that CPEC which is almost equivalent to worth of 20% GDP of Pakistan could be the fate and game changer for region; only if peace and firmness is ensured. About energy potentials it is deduced that CARs have 4.5% of oil and 10% of natural gas vi reserves of the world. TAPI and CASA-1000 are ongoing energy cooperation projects of Pakistan with CARs. After the in depth study it is find out that Gwadar port has not only propensity to reduce the distance for global trade of China from 12000 km Sea route to 3000 km land rout and open up Sea trade route for landlocked Central Asia, but also have tendency tohelp China in avoiding “Malacca Dilemma” in the Indian Ocean. Gwadar can not only have unmatched capacity of handling 200000 tons tanker of oil but also can cater the trade and transshipment needs of more than twenty countries of the region. The irritants and challenges for the development of Gwadar port are copious in nature. If it becomes completely functional in the coming years it has grandiose potential to become Abu Dhabi for Pakistan.

اردو ناول میں پسماندگی کے مظاہر

اردو ناول میں پسماندگی کے مظاہر

                ایک مکمل کہانی جو تمام اجزائے ترکیبی کے ساتھ بیان کی جاتی ہے ناول کہلاتی ہے۔یہ وہ صنف سخن ہے جس میں جذبات،خیالات،واقعات اور ثقافت کو حصہ بنایاجاسکتا ہے۔ناول معاشرے میں نسل در نسل چلنے والی کہانیوں کا عکاس ہے کیونکہ یہ ایک طویل کہانی ہوتا ہے اس لیے معاشرے کی مکمل ترجمانی کرتا ہے۔

                ادبی اصطلاح میں دیکھا جائے تو ناول سے مراد ایک ایسی کہانی ہے جس میں پوری زندگی بیان کی جاتی ہے۔ناول ادب کی ایک صنف ہے لغت میں ناول کے معنیٰ’’نادر‘‘نئی بات یانئی چیز کے ہیں۔یہ اطالوی زبان کے لفظ’’ناولا‘‘سے نکلا ہے ناول کے ،معنی بھی’’نیا ‘‘کے ہیں۔

                معاشی ،مذہبی،سیاسی،سماجی،نفسیاتی چاہے زندگی کا کوئی بھی موڑ ہو ناول میں ہر پہلو کو کھل کر بیان کیا جاسکتا ہے۔قدیم زمانے میں داستان کا عروج تھا اور زمانے کی ترقی کے ساتھ ساتھ عصر جدید میں ادب کی نئی صورتیں سامنے آئیں۔ناول داستان کی ہی ترقی یافتہ شکل ہے۔

                دوسرے اصناف ادب کی نسبت اردو ناول کی عمر کم ہے۔مگر ناول نے اپنا راستہ طے کرتے ہوئے منزل کو پالیا۔طویل داستان جس کے لیے نشستیں درکار ہوتی ہیں اس میں تبدیلیاں کرنے کے بعد مختصر کیا گیا اور ناول کا نام دیا گیا۔اردو ناول عروج وزوال کی منزلیں طے کرتا ہوا عصر حاضر میں جدید ناول کی طرف گامزن ہے۔

ناول دراصل عصر حاضر میں اس زمانے اور معاشرے کی سچی تصویر پیش کر رہا ہے بہر کیف ناول کے تمام عناصر کو نہایت ہی خوبصورتی اور ہم آہنگی ،تخلیقی و فنی دلکشی ، توازن اور فن کارانہ سلیقہ مندی کے ساتھ منظر عام پر لے آنا ہی ناول نگارکے لیے کامیابی کی دلیل ہے...
