The war on terror, starting in October 2001, instead of stemming terrorism from the region, has further radicalized the Pakhtun society. The prevailing terrorism in the shape of Talibanization in the Pakhtun region of Pakistan has not been a result of the normal functional social change; rather, it has been the product of a conscious policy of social engineering in the Pakhtun society. The combination of culture reductionism and policy of social engineering produce a distorted picture of the Pakhtuns’ culture. Analysis of the history of religious mobilizations, nature of the current militant uprising, and the phenomenon of violence in the Pakhtun culture demonstrates that the Taliban form of terrorism, whose ideology transcends national boundaries, has no causal relationship with the socially controlled and limited-in-scope violence in the Pakhtun society. State institutions are weak to the point of non-existence mainly due to a limited government writ, especially in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Therefore, there is a strong reliance on social and cultural institutions. The destruction of, and indifference to these social and cultural institutions by the counter-terrorism campaign and by the Taliban activities has given further impetus to the problem of terrorism in the Pakhtun society.

ڈاکٹر غلام محمد

ڈاکٹر غلام محمد
مشہور صاحب علم و قلم پروفیسر محمد اسلم پنجاب یونیورسٹی (لاہور) کے گرامی نامہ سے مولانا ڈاکٹر غلام محمد صاحب کے انتقال کی اندوہ ناک خبر ملی، ان کا وطن حیدرآباد دکن تھا اور وہ جامعہ عثمانیہ کے گریجویٹ تھے، تقسیم کے بعد کراچی تشریف لے گئے اور بالآخر اسی کی خاک کا پیوند ہوئے۔
مولانا سید سلیمان ندویؒ کی رہنمائی میں تصوف و سلوک کے مراحل طے کئے اور خود علم و عرفان اور شریعت و طریقت کے جامع ہوگئے، اپنے مرشد عالی مقام سے ان کو والہانہ تعلق تھا، اس کا ثبوت ان کی تصنیف ’’تذکرۂ سلیمان‘‘ اور وہ مضامین ہیں جو وقتاً فوقتاً حضرت سید صاحبؒ پر وہ لکھتے رہے ہیں، ان سے فرط تعلق کی بنا پر انہیں دارالمصنفین سے بھی عشق تھا اور وہ برابر اس کی بقا و تحفظ کے لیے دعا فرماتے تھے، انہی کی کوشش سے ان کے ایک مسترشد جناب محمد یحییٰ صاحب نے پاکستان میں معارف کی ترسیل کی ذمہ داری قبول فرمائی۔
راقم کو ان سے ملاقات کا شرف تو حاصل نہیں ہوا لیکن گذشتہ دس بارہ سال سے مراسلت کا سلسلہ قائم تھا۔ جس کا باعث بھی حضرت سید صاحبؒ کی ذات گرامی ہوئی۔
۸۳۔۱۹۸۲؁ء میں علامہ سید سلیمان ندویؒ کی صد سالہ تقریبات کے موقع پر راقم نے بہار اردو اکاڈمی کے سیمینار کے لئے سیرۃالنبیؐ جلد سوم پر ایک مضمون لکھا، اس کے تتمہ میں اس جلد پر کیے گئے اعتراضات کے جواب میں خاص طور پر معجزات کے تعلق سے ایک مشہور عالم و محدث کی ایرادات زیر بحث آئی تھیں، اس پر فرنگی محل کے ایک بزرگ کو کسی قدر ناگواری ہوئی تھی مگر مولانا غلام محمد صاحب نے اسے ملاخطہ فرمانے کے بعد مجھے پہلی مرتبہ خط لکھا کہ ’’آپ نے اہل ندوہ اور حضرت سیدی...

جنگی جرائم اسلام اور بین الاقوامی قانون کے تناظر میں

In ancient and modern era wars, such war crimes are committed which are against humanity and peace. The war crimes committed were only for power pelf  and pomp. The  continuation of those war crimes is still present in modern time wars. Islam has introduced a very civilized, meaningful and judicious  way for war fare  against enemy and also eradicated all kind of  war crimes.

Impact of Systematic Dairy Farm Management on Milk Production in Sindh

The study examines the impact of systematic (proper) dairy farm management on milk production with reference to analysis of dairy farming patterns in Sindh. In this context, the approach of Micro Dairy Farm Environment (MDFE) and Macro Dairy Farm Environment (MDFE) was developed and on the basis of that loom the Cattle Feeding Management (CFM), Cattle Housing Management (CHM), Milk Marketing Management (MMM), Dairy Farm Human Resource Management (DFHM), Cattle Health Management (CHM), Cattle Record Keeping Management (KRKM), and Breeding Management (BR), Government Control on Milk Price (GCMP), Financial and Institutional Support to Farmers (FISF) such as Veterinary Services (VS), Regular Farmers Awareness Programs (RFAP), Cattle Breeding Centers (CBR), Milk Marketing Facility (MMF), Mitigating Monopoly of Middleman (MMM), Dairy Investment Policy (DIP) Dairy Farmers Union (EDFU) were selected as a research parameter. Moreover, the standards of dairy farm management were divided into systematic (proper) and unsystematic (improper) dairy farm management. In the last stage the impact of systematic and unsystematic dairy farm management on milk production is measured. In this questionnaire, field notes and observational method base study the data was collected from 500 dairy farmers of upper, central and lower Sindh province of Pakistan, whereas milk collectors (middleman), milk wholesalers, milk retailers, livestock directorate, and veterinary staff was also sampling subject. The data has been analyzed through wilcoxin sign rank, wilcoxin sum rank, one way ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests. It is concluded that Micro and Macro Dairy Farm Institutions in Sindh are very poor which effects on milk production, market value of milk and damages precious dairy resources which worth approximately more than 3 billion dollars. The mismanagement prevails in various forms in dairy farming; farmers are unaware from cattle housing management; about 91% farmers fed their livestock at low nutritional value (LNV) such as 37% low protein, 42.3% low level of minerals and carbohydrates, 19% less quantity of balance ration which illustrates to Poor cattle Feeding Management (CFM). The limited space for cattle, filthy milk collection lay, nominal or no use of disinfectants, poor sanitation, unavailability of separate milking room are common problems on each dairy farm in Sindh. The prevalence of Endo and Ecto parasitic diseases is widespread, 99.8% dairy farmers are unaware from Cattle Health Management (CHM), Vaccination, Deworming, Cattle Record (CR) keeping, and Calf Rearing Techniques (CRT). The dairy farmers of Sindh has drastic problem in Milk Marketing. This phenomenon highlights that dairy farming patterns are traditional in Sindh. Accordingly, per cattle milk yield in unsystematic dairy farm management is about 3.9 liters Per Milking Time (PTM) where as in systematic dairy farm management per cattle milk yield is 5.8 liters PTM in same age and milking cycle of cattle. Hence, the systematic dairy farm management has significant positive impact on milk yield. Thus, the traditional farming can be converted into systematic dairy farming through application of “management functions” in all components of dairy farming mainly farmers training, financial support, easy access to veterinary services, establishment of cattle breeding centers and importantly developing an organize milk marketing channels in Sindh.
