An ethnomedicinal survey was carried out during 2013-2016 to collect information about medicinal plants of Jinjerate Koh Valley Drosh. A total of 76 plants belonged to 40 families were reported from area which was used for the cure of various ailments. In my survey leaves were the major plant part 35% used in the preparation of recipes, followed by seed 18%, stem 14%, whole plant 8%, root 4%, inflorescence 3%, bark, gum and bulb each 2%, tuber and floral bud each 1%. Herb plants were used mostly 54%, followed by tree 24% and shrub 22%. The angiosperm plants were used mostly 91% for the cure of ailments, followed by gymnosperm 5%, pteridophytes 3% and fungi 1%. More than 52 types of diseases were reported from research areas which are cured by medicinal plants. Some plants were reported from area which is used for more than one type of disease. Phytosociological Dynamics of the plants present in Jinjerate Koh, Drosh were studied an elevation gradient between 1314-2154m. The area was divided in to 10 stands. 10 relevés were taken in each stain randomly for shrubs and tree. In each relevés of shrubs and tree, sub relevés were also taken for herbs. The information about the plants and soil were stored in TURBOVEG software. Five plants communities were established based on modified TWINSPAN software automated classification. These communities are Cedrus-Pinus-Sorbaria community, Acer-Elaeagnus-Olea community, Ailanthus-Quercus-Salix community, Elaeagnus-Quercus-Salix community and Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community. Diagnostic species constant species and dominant species were assigned on the basis of fidelity threshold value, 35 (5) frequency threshold value 35 (45), and cover threshold value 35: 0 (100). The ecological characteristics of Cedrus-Pinus-Sorbaria community show that the dominant life was therophytes and Megaphanerophyte (25%). In leaf size mesophyll (38%) was dominant followed by Nanophyll (31%) Deciduous were dominant (77%) and 85% plants were non spiny nature, Xeric plants were present 77% environment. Mostly plants were heliophytes (85%). simple leaves plants were dominant. The Dominant life form Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community was therophytes and mesophanerophyte (25%), dominant classes of leaf size were mesophyll (42%) and Microphyll 33%) Mostly the plants of Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus, community were Deciduous (75%). Mostly plants were non spiny nature (83%). Plants mostly present in xeric environment (83%). All plants of this community were heliophytes and contain simple leaves. In Ailanthus-Quercus-Salix community the dominant life form was therophytes (34%) followed by hemicriptophyte (27%), size wise class of leaf the nanopyllus type was dominant (42%), followed by mesophyll (42%) and Microphyll (11%) Most plants of Ailanthus-Quercus-Salix community were deciduous (92%), only (8%) ever green. Non spiny nature plants were dominant (96%), and (4%) were spiny nature. Habitat wise (85%) plants were xeric, (11%) mesic and (4%) were moist. Mostly plants of Ailanthu-Quercus-Salix, community were heliophytes (92%) and (8%) were sociophyte. Plants of Ailanthus-Quercus-Salix community mainly contain simple leaves (81%), compound leaves were present in (11%) plants only, and (8%) were incised. Elaeagnus-Quercus-Salix community therophytes were the dominant plants (29%) followed by hemicryptophytes (23%). The mesophyll type was dominant (32%) followed by Leptophyll and Microphyll (26%). Mostly plants were Deciduous (89%) only (11%) ever green plants were present in Elaeagnus-Quercus-Salix community. Non spiny nature plants were dominant (84%), and (16%) were spiny nature. Habitat wise, (84%) plants were xeric, (11%) mesic and (5%) were aquatic. All plants were heliophytes. Plants of Elaeagnus-Quercus-Salix community mainly contain simple leaves (90%) compound leaves were present in (5%) plants and only (5%) were incised. In the Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community the dominant life form were therophytes (38%) followed by hemicriptophyte (14%). The nanophyll type was dominant (29%) followed by mesophyll (28%) and leptophyll (19%). Mostly plants of Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community were Deciduous (90%) only (10%) ever green. non spiny nature plants were dominant (86%), and (14%) were spiny nature. Habitat wise (81%) plants of Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community were xeric, (11%) mesic (9%), aquatic and moist were (5%). Mostly plants of Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community were heliophytes (95%) while Sciophyte were (5%). Plants of Elaeagnus-Olea-Quercus community mainly contain simple leaves (71%) compound leaves were present in (19%) plants and only (10%) were incised. Minerals analysis of the soil samples showed that soil contain low concentration of Cu, Fe and Zn as compared to Mn. While Ca was the most dominant nutrient in the soil followed by Mg. Soil of the area is very poor in nutrient and less fertile.

مولانا محمد اسحاق سنبھلی

مولانا محمد اسحاق سبنھلی
۷؍ جنوری کو مولانا اسحاق سبنھلی کی رحلت ہوگئی، وہ ایک عالم دین، جنگ آزادی کے مجاہد جمعیۃ علمائے ہند اور ہندوستانی کمیونسٹ پارٹی کے سرگرم رکن تھے اور برسوں ریاستی قانون ساز کونسل اور پارلیمنٹ کے ممبر بھی رہے۔
مولانا کی زندگی جہد و جہاد سے عبارت تھی، عوام کی خدمت ان کا نصب العین تھا، لوگوں کا کام کرکے خوش ہوتے تھے، بڑے خلیق اور ملنسار تھے۔
آزادی سے پہلے انہوں نے استخلاص وطن کے لیے قربانی دی اور آزادی کے بعد فرقہ پرستوں اور رجعت پسندی کے خلاف صف آرا رہے، ان کی ریشہ دوانیوں اور سازشوں کو بے نقاب کیا، مولانا کی زندگی اقلیتوں کے حقوق کی بازیابی کے لئے جدوجہد اور سیکولرازم، انصاف اور جمہوریت کا پرچم بلند کرنے میں بسر ہوئی۔ وہ حب الوطنی کے جذبہ سے سرشار تھے، جس طرح جمعیۃ علماء کے زیر قیادت مسلمانوں کی فلاح و بہود کے کام میں حصہ لیتے تھے، اسی طرح وطن عزیز کی سالمیت اور استحکام کے لیے بھی ہمیشہ ساعی رہتے۔
مولانا اردو تحریک کے قائدین میں تھے، اس کے خلاف ہونے والی زیادتیوں اور ناانصافیوں کے خلاف ہمیشہ لڑتے رہے۔ عرصہ تک ریاستی انجمن کے جنرل سکریٹری تھے۔
مولانا اسحاق سنبھلی دارالمصنفین کے کاموں کے بڑے قدرداں تھے، چند برس پہلے اپنی پارٹی کے کام سے اس نواح میں آئے تو وقت نکال کر یہاں بھی تشریف لائے اور دارالمصفین کے تمام شعبوں کو دیکھ کر اپنی مسرت ظاہر کی۔
موجودہ لیڈروں اور قومی کارکنوں کی طرح ان میں مصلحت پسندی اور نام و نمود کی ہوس نہ تھی، جس بات کو صحیح سمجھتے تھے اسے بے دھڑک کہہ دیتے تھے، افسوس ہے کہ ملک سے ایسے مخلص، بے غرض، جرأت و ہمت والے اور نام و نمود سے بے زار لیڈر ایک ایک کر کے...

South Asian Orient: Colonial Epistemological Inquiry and its Modern Connections

As analysts assume that the South Asian regional political environment is difficult to comprehend due to its ethnic divisions and lingual bifurcations as the region hosts more than one and half billion inhabitants divided into India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. Geographic diversity makes this region unique from all other regions in the world as it is bordered off the Persian Gulf and Arab world through the Indian ocean and opened up from Central Asia to the northern hemisphere. Such a racial, geographic, cultural, lingual and religious diversification had undergone epistemological inquiry during the colonial period in order to devise a central administrative system of regulating Raj’s affairs for the upcoming global world. Therefore, there emerged a unique sense of exploring the unfathomability and multiplicity of the scattering communalities. Through employing Edward W. Said’s critical framework, the present study exposes main theoretical Orientalist formulations by deconstructing major Western theories on South Asian cultures, geography and societies along with its connectivity to the overlapping of global power interests in the present world.

Teaching Social Studies As an Integrated Subject

In this study, I have explored how Maria, an experienced teacher of Social Studies, taught Social Studies as an integrated subject. Though there are some limitations such as school policy, time, and textbook which do not allow teachers to incorporate new approaches in teaching and learning of Social Studies; some new ways of teaching Social Studies as an integrated subject were employed. This study employed collaborative action research to integrate the teaching of Social Studies as an integrated subject. It was found that during the planning phase careful selection of topics and thoughtful planning of instructional activities through a unit plan needs to be provided to the teacher. In addition, the study examined the implementation process of a unit plan in a Social Studies classroom and developed a better understanding of how to teach in an integrative way by reflecting on classroom practices. This reflective component allowed Maria and me to see the development of teaching and learning processes in Social Studies. The findings from the data shows the importance of understanding the connection of different disciplines with different perspectives by looking at different strategies, which teachers can apply in the Social Studies classroom. The study gives recommendations to teachers of Social Studies and school management to promote the teaching Social Studies as an integrated subject.
