مولوی حسین حسان ندوی
راقم کے لیے تیسرا حادثہ طالب علمی کے زمانہ کے رفیق مولوی حسین حسان صاحب ندوی اڈیٹر پیام تعلیم کی وفات کا ہے، مرحوم درجہ میں مجھ سے دو تین سال نیچے اور غالباً عمر میں بھی اسی قدر چھوٹے تھے، لیکن ہم دونوں عرصہ تک ایک ہی کمرے میں رہے تھے، اس لئے ان سے دوستانہ تعلقات تھے جو آخر تک قائم رہے، اسی زمانہ سے ان میں مضمون نگاری کا ذوق تھا، چنانچہ عشاق عرب کے عنوان سے ایک طویل مضمون لکھا تھا۔ جو زمانہ کانپور کے کئی نمبروں میں چھپا تھا، ندوہ سے فراغت کے بعد جامعہ ملیہ چلے گئے اور وہاں تعلیم کے ساتھ مختلف اوقات میں جامعہ کے مختلف شعبوں سے ان کا تعلق رہا، بچوں کا ادب لکھنے میں ان کو خاص ملکہ تھا اس کے وہ صاحب طرز ادیب تھے، برسوں بچوں کے رسالہ پیام تعلیم کے اڈیٹر رہے اور اس کو ان کا بڑا مقبول رسالہ بنادیا، پیام تعلیم کے مضامین کے علاوہ انھوں نے بچوں کے ذوق کی بہت سی کتابیں لکھیں اور بچکانہ ادب کا بڑا ذخیرہ فراہم کردیا، ان سے تعلقات کا سلسلہ برابر قائم رہا، کبھی کبھی ملاقات بھی ہوجاتی تھی، گزشتہ دسمبر میں دلی میں ملاقات ہوئی تھی، کیا معلوم تھا کہ یہ آخری ملاقات ہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اگست ۱۹۷۴ء)
Vivekananda was the Hindu revivalist of nineteenth century who preached the message of equality of all religions. In his lectures, he guided people to assimilation of religions and not their destruction. He emphasized on peace and harmony of religions that could only be attained through tolerance. This paper explores his claim of equality of religions from his writings regarding two religions - Christianity and Islam. Critical approach is utilized to identify the fact that either he is equating all religions or he is trying to submerge the non-Hindu religions in his philosophy of neo-Vedanta. Apparently, the tension between these two positions makes his theory of pluralism suspicious. In other words, his popular image of being a pioneer of religious pluralism needs to be reassesses by studying his writings and presentation of the beliefs, rituals, and practices of other religions, as well as, his practical interactions with the followers of different religions during his life. In this connection, it is important to explore how he perceives and depicts the personalities of Jesus Christ and Muhammad.
There is an increasing interest in research on internal marketing in the marketing services literature. This has arisen largely from the suggestion that internal mar keting contributes to services companies’ success through its role in developing customer satisfaction. The birth of Internal Marketing has its roots in the 1980’s, and originated with the purpose to provide continuous and consistently satisfying service quality. The term Internal Marketing has been derived from the word ’internal customers’ which was first used by Berry (1981). Internal Marketing considers employees as internal customers and continuously aims to have them motivated in their jobs to encourage improved performance and better customer satisfaction. This thesis examines the depth of understanding and applicability of Internal Marketing in the higher education sector, which is not a typical conventional service industry. It focuses on the relationship between perceptions of Internal Marketing and Organizational Commitment of employees in the higher education sector. Up until now, while considering Education as a service provider, the marketer’s focus has been limited to the external customers, who in the case are the students. This thesis explores the element of internal marketing which impacts job satis faction and service quality of faculty members, employed in public and private universities in Pakistan. Our sample consists of 398 faculty members. The results provide evidence that all of internal marketing elements (employee motivation, empowerment, & market orientation) have significant effect on job satisfaction. The aspects of empowerment and motivation were found to have significant ef fect on service quality, while market orientation and recognition did not have any significant effect. On the other hand, job satisfaction has a strong effect on ser vice quality, indicating the importance of this relationship. The results of this study will help universities to understand the concept and application of Internal Marketing in academia, and will guide university management in enhancing job satisfaction and service quality, leading to improved employee performance and student satisfaction.
