The study attempts to critically examine the current state of nuclear deterrence stability between South Asian arch rivals – India and Pakistan – in the context of non-state actors and their potential to cause nuclear terrorism and nuclear crises in the region. India and Pakistan use selective non-state actors for proxy warfare against each other. Both provide rationale and logic behind such dangerous policies. The study tries to empirically investigate this „peculiar‟ behavior of both the nuclear states and examines possible repercussions on nuclear deterrence stability in South Asia. While emphasizing the rapidly increasing trajectories of nuclear arsenals in both the states, the study analyses the impact of such trends on nuclear doctrines of India and Pakistan. Furthermore, the dissertation notes how technological and doctrinal changes could endanger nuclear deterrence keeping in view the undermining role of non-state actors in the region. The main focus of the study is to evaluate the “sky is falling” argument by discussing possible scenarios of nuclear escalation between both the nuclear states.

مکہ سے مدینہ کا سفر نامہ پڑھتے ہوئے !
غارِ ثور میں گونجتی نثری نظمیں سناتا ہوں
میں تو بس صبح و شام !
آپؐ کی بارگاہ میں درود و سلام پیش کرتا رہتا ہوں

بہلول کافی دنوں سے حالتِ سفر میں تھا۔ میں بھی اُس کے ساتھ قدم سے قدم ملا کر چلنے کی کوشش میں گرمی کے تشدد اور صحرائی ہوائوں کے رقص سے بے حال تھا۔ جب سے بہلول کو پتہ چلا تھا ۔۔۔ کہ مجھے نثری نظم سے عشق ہے وہ تب سے مجھے گھنجلک باتیں نثری نظم کے انداز میں بڑی روانی اور آسانی سے سمجھانے لگا تھا۔ ایک دن جب ہم شام کے صحن میں لیٹے ہوئے ۔۔۔ صحرائی گرم ہوائوں میں آرام کرنے(رات بسر) کا سوچ رہے تھے۔ کہ نہ جانے کیسے ۔۔۔ اُس کی سوچوں میں نثری نظم اُتر آئی۔ وہ بولا۔۔۔نثری نظم خوب صورت اور دل آویز قدیم صنف ہے۔
یہ عہد الست سے موجودہ دور کے نشیب و فراز تک ، مزاجِ شفق کی دلیلوں کو فکری اساس کی وادیوں میں پروان چڑھانے میں لگی رہی ۔ یہ کٹھور اور سنگدل لمحوں کی طرف سے دی جانے والی اذیت سے نڈھال ضرور رہی، لیکن مری نہیں۔ اس کی وسعت...

سیرت نبوی کی روشنی میں بغاوت (خروج) سے متعلق احکامات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam orders to obey the ruler and not to indulge in activities that may cause disruption & instability of an Islamic state. This research discusses rules & regulations based on sīrah about rebellion (khurūj), and relevant topics from Islamic Jurisprudence. The basic question of this research is whether revolt against the ruler is permissible and what would be the punishment? This research elaborates four types of rebellion. Rulings of Muslim scholars regarding rebellion are subjected to the different positions of rulers. According to all school of thoughts the khurūj is not permitted if the ruler is lawful and serving his community with justice. In contrary, there is difference of opinions about the tyrannous and iniquitous ruler. This article concluded that majority of Muslim Scholars do not permit khurūj in any case, some others laid down very strict conditions in this regard.

Mza Lab [Modish Zealous Abode]: A Framework to Attune Smart Technology for Home Automation in Pakistani Enivironment

Ubiquitous computing technologies automatically identify and respond to the context of user actions in new, undisruptive, user-friendly ways.An active application area of the ubiquitous computing research is the "Smart Home" technology and HCI researchers are increasingly getting interested in developing ubiquitous yet smart home environments. Today, the ubiquitous smart home technology is at a phase just next to early adoption phase and still much far from the mass-market adoption stage.Pakistan is a boomer country when it comes to adoption of new technologies and the latest proof is spread of mobile and internet communication.In order to gain customers'' trust, researchers need to prove that the technology is ''really'' useful and that the smart homes are ''ubiquitously'' calm ''enough'' both in terms of use and maintenance.Same is the motive of this research. This research proposes a framework which will serve as a guide to how we, in Pakistan, may attune smart home automation technology to our environment.MZALAB framework proposes a method to connect heterogeneous smart devices into a wireless sensor network in an almost plug and play style using open source resources.Same is being researched at facilities worldwide but very few take on an Asian perspective and none so far has tried it in Pakistan.MZALab houses a heterogeneous network of sensors and actuators, Wi-Fi switches, GSM modem, IP cameras and interactive user interface screens.This smart space is managed through software from within the home as well as from outside via trusted smartphone application.As a proof of concept, a "Live-In-Lab" strategy is deployed for testing whether it will work for an average home in Pakistan''s backdrop.MZALAB is a ''live-in'' studio-apartment-scale research laboratory, first of its kind in Pakistan.This lab naturalistically imitates a typical Pakistani home environment, to research about how well or otherwise we can adapt ubiquitous smart computing and networking capabilities, into a Pakistani human abode.This setup has successfully lent an insight into how well or otherwise the smart home automation technology may work in Pakistan.
