The study based on archival and library research has revealed that Punjab in Pakistan similar to the British times continued to have high importance in social, economic and political business of the state and society. Nearing and after partition Landed aristocracy had varied groups but focus of this research has been landed aristocracy including Iftikhar Hussain Mamdot and Mumtaz Daultana who turned Punjab into Jinnah’s cornerstone of Pakistan Movement. The important political transformation in Pakistani Punjab from 1947 to 1958 has been that landed aristocrats thus aligning with Jinnah and Muslim League in Punjab in opposition to British rulers, Unionist Party and the Congress were gradually maligned, sidelined, ousted or replaced by the non-Leaguer landed aristocrats like Mozaffar Ali Qizilbash or pro-Congress Dr. Khan Sahib through planned social, economic, intellectual and political engineering. The factors of engineering had been many but colonial inheritance where the British had still superior role and key positions to control the system and rapidly changing regimes at centre under the influence of Colonial or neo-Colonial plans through patronage politics manoeuvred factional conflicts which shifted power from companions of Jinnah to the British loyalists landed aristocracy and civil-military bureaucracy. The powers of Governor had already been diminished in the Provisional Constitution of Pakistan 1947 but British Governor Sir Francis Mudie having Colonial mindset acted beyond the Constitutional powers and had been striving to gain maximum powers (specially control over allotment of lands) by conveying drawbacks and alleged weaknesses of the ruling landed aristocracy in press and official correspondence with centre which paved way for Governor Rule in Punjab on 25 January 1949 by introducing engineered Section 92A in the Constitution. Observing concentration of maximum power in the hands of Governor and bureaucracy, landed aristocracy stood united temporarily as they had been sidelined through manipulated factional conflict by pitting one minister against the other. First ever elections in Punjab in 1951 were extensively rigged by using state machinery and campaign in official capacity by the Prime Minister and Ministers from Central government. The cases of alleged corruption established by Crown which caused defamation of landed aristocracy proved false and Mamdot and others were cleared of allegations by tribunals and the courts. The available evidences upheld that the task of rehabilitation was already assumed by the military in the end of August 1947 so inefficiencies conveyed by the Governor were attempted political engineering. Interference from centre and use of religious cards through engineered antiAhmadiya Movement initiated by Ahrars (opponents of Pakistan Movement) resulted into Daultana’s ouster from Premiership in Punjab. Thus Premiership was given to Firoz Khan Noon who had been striving for it since the Elections 1946 and Francis Mudie had also been manipulating and convincing the centre to bring him in power. His difference with centre upon the issue of election of members for Constituent Assembly from Punjab and formation of One Unit and his attempted invitation to Fatima Jinnah to become the President of Muslim League also resulted into his forced removal by giving Premiership to another landed aristocrat Abdul Hamid Dasti. Next short regime of Abdul Hamid Dasti was just a transitional phase to make arrangements for establishment of One Unit which also proved setback not only for landed aristocracy but for the Punjab at large because power shifted to non-Leaguers and old loyalists of the British. Ultimately imposition of martial law by Ayub Khan permanently banned Iftikhar Mamdot and Mumtaz Daultana from taking part in the politics and thus almost all landed aristocrat founders of Pakistan were ousted from power corridors by 1958.

بشیر احمد کٹھوری
صدحیف کہ پچھلے دنوں ہماری بزم انس ومحبت کاایک اوررکن ہم سے بچھڑ گیا۔ یعنی مولانا بشیر احمدصاحب کٹھوری المعروف بہ بھٹہ نے طویل علالت کے بعد وفات پائی۔ مولانا نے اگرچہ علوم عربیہ اوردرس نظامی کی سیوہارہ، امروہہ اور مرادآباد میں باقاعدہ تکمیل کی تھی۔لیکن ان کوکبھی ان علوم کے ساتھ اشتغال یاان کے درس کاموقع نہیں ملا۔اس لیے نتیجہ کے اعتبارسے ان کوباقاعدہ وباضابطہ عالم کہنا بھی مشکل ہے۔لیکن دماغ اورذہن بلا کا رساپایا تھا۔ذہانت اور جودتِ طبع کایہ عالم تھاکہ اگروہ علوم دینیہ واسلامیہ میں مشغول رہتے تومولانا عبیداﷲ سندھی بنتے۔ اور اگر انگریزی تعلیم حاصل کرلیتے تو سرعلی امام یاسر فضل حسین سے کم نہ رہتے۔ بڑے بڑے علما اور انگریزی تعلیم یافتہ حضرات کی مجلسوں میں جب کسی موضوع پرتقریر کرتے تھے تواپنے منطقی استدلال اور برہانی طرزِ بیان سے چھاجاتے تھے اور پھراُن کی تردید کرناآسان نہیں رہتاتھا۔معاش کے لیے انھوں نے کاروبار کاراستہ اختیار کیااور اس میں اپنی ذہانت اورمحنت سے اس درجہ ترقی کی کہ مٹی سے سونا پیدا کرنے لگے۔ اپنی اینٹوں سے سیکڑوں شاندار عمارتیں کارخانے اورفیکٹریاں بنا ڈالیں۔لیکن خودہمیشہ مزدوروں کی طرح کام کرتے رہے اور انھیں کی طرح رہتے رہے۔ خلقِ خداکی خدمت کاان میں بے پناہ جذبہ تھا۔جوشخص بھی ان کے پاس جس کام کے لیے پہنچ جاتاتھا ان کے درسے مایوس نہیں لوٹتا تھا۔ جمعیۃ علمائے ہندکے اعلیٰ طبقہ سے تعلق رکھتے تھے۔اوران کا اس جماعت میں بڑا وقار اور امتیاز تھا۔کانگریس کے بھی بڑے بااثر اورسر گرم کارکن تھے۔تحریک خلافت اورپھر تحریک آزادی کے زمانہ میں کئی بارجیل گئے جس سے ان کی صحت اورکاروبار کوبڑانقصان پہنچا۔لیکن ان کے جوش،سرگرمی اور ولولۂ کار میں کبھی فرق نہ آیا۔قلب ودماغ کی ان خوبیوں کے ساتھ ان میں اخلاقی جرأت بھی کچھ کم نہیں تھی۔ صوبہ اتر پردیش کی کونسل...

Etiology and Management of Sudden Decline Disease of Date Plam Phoenix Dactylifera L in Pakistan

Survey of seventeen date palm orchards of Khairpur, Pakistan was conducted to estimate the incidence of date palm sudden decline disease (SDD). Results revealed that the maximum disease incidence was recorded at the villages of Noor Pur (50.17%) followed by Baberloi (35.58%), Ahmed Pur (32.47%), Kot Mir Mohammad (20.27%), Machyoon (13.51%), Garhi Mori (11.01%) as compared to other orchards and incidence was significantly decreased at Nizamani (0.25%). Six fungi namely, Fusarium solani, Phoma ucladium, Alternaria alternata, Aspergilus niger and Penicillium chrysogenium were isolated from infected roots of date palm. Fusarium solani was isolated predominantly from infected roots followed by Phoma ucladium and Alternaria alternate. This is the first record of Fusarium solani from Pakistan and its association with decline of date palm in Sindh, Pakistan. To confirm the etiology of date palm decline disease the pathogenicity tests on date palm seedlings were carried out on most commercial growing date palm varieties like Aseel, Fasli and Karbalian by three different methods. The inoculations of Fusarium solani alone or with Phoma ucladium or Helminthosporium sativum to confirm the pathogenic nature of Fusarium solani which not only greatly reduced the plant growth but also caused significant plant mortality and disease severity. In order to find out the effective chemical control of date palm sudden decline disease, the efficacy of six different fungicides was tested against Fusarium solani under In vitro and field conditions (in laboratory experiment). The Bavistin D.F showed complete suppression of Fusarium solani followed by Topsin-M, Alliette and Ridomil gold at 150 ppm concentration followed by 100 ppm and 50 ppm. The field experiment was conducted on the basis of the results obtained from in vitro management test of fungicides. The systemic fungicides were used as soil drench and contact fungicides were used as foliar spray for the control of sudden decline disease (SDD) of date palm under field conditions. The disease severity was recorded before the first spray and percent decrease in disease incidence was obtained after the completion of three sprays. The Bavistin D.F proved to be the highly effective fungicide also under field conditions. The maximum percent decreasing disease was recorded at first (45.4), second (72) and third spray (97.1) of Bavistin D.F followed by Topsin-M, Alliette, Ridomil, Mancozeb and Copper oxychloride, in control plants the disease was increased with increase in time. The complete disappearance of typical symptoms of the disease were noted in the trees treated with fungicides and same trees gave fruit in next season.
