The Hazara Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province-Pakistan possesses an interesting combination of social integrity in the ethnic diversity of the region. People of the area can broadly be divided into the ancient Dards, Kushans and recently arrived people of Pathan dynasties. A number of references are available about the history and culture of the area but the general biology and phylogenetic relationship of people of the area based upon sound scientific grounds are still lacking. This dissertation provides first-hand information with reference to some of the important tribes of the area analyzed through variation in dental morphology, mitochondrial DNA sequences and haplotypic diversity in the people of central districts viz. Abbottabad and Mansehra of Hazara Division. The study was conducted from October 2010 to March 2014. Seven tribes viz. Abbassi, Awan, Gujar, Jadoon, Karlal, Syed and Tanoli were included in this study. Collection of dental casts, saliva samples for DNA isolation, optimization of PCR conditions, gene clean protocols and data analyses etc. were done in the Human Genetics Lab, Department of Genetics Hazara University. All the selected tribes were analyzed for Hyper Variable Sequences of mitochondrial DNA (HVS1 & 2 mtDNA) for determination of maternal affinities, diversity in the hypervariable region and availability of haplogroups, in different tribes. Each one of the dental casts was analyzed for a set of 17 tooth-trait combinations scored 150 individuals (75 males and 75 females) of each tribe in accordance with the Arizona State University Dental Morphology System. Only scorable samples from 393 individuals belonging to five ethnic groups i.e. Awans, Gujars, Karlals, Syeds and Tanolis were analyzed and included in this dissertation for elaborating the internationally available 22 populations of 2,433 prehistoric and living individuals of the region through Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Neighbor Joining Cluster Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling and Principal Coordinates Analysis. Results of the dental trait analyses revealed highly consistent patterns across the data reduction schemes. All the ethnic groups of Abbottabad and Mansehra clustered separately and shared no affinity with the prehistoric Central XVI Asians, the prehistoric inhabitants of the Indus Valley or living communities of peninsular India. Though all the tribes has retained their own identity and seems to be polyphyletic in origin; the Syeds, Gujars and Karlals proved more closely related to one another among the analyzed tribes. Results of the hyper variable sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of individuals from all the seven tribes analyzed for determination of maternal affinities through diversity in the hypervariable region and haplogroups diversity with respect to hypervariable sequence I (HVSI) analyzed from 223 individuals of the 7 tribes revealed 83 haplotypes with the 39 unique one. The haplogroup H proved the most frequent containing 40% of the analyzed people followed by haplogroup M which was recorded in 21.8% of the sampled populations. Results of the hypervariable sequence II (HVSII) obtained from 298 individuals of the seven tribes yielded 78 haplotypes. The most frequent haplogroup with respect to HVS II was haplogroup R, which was represented by 53 percent of the sampled population. The R group was followed by haplogroup M with 32% of individuals. The mega haplogroups recorded for the major ethnic groups of Abbottabad and Mansehra were H, R and M. These haplogroup distributions among the analyzed samples revealed the genetic lineage of people of Pakistani ancestry, with components from West Eurasia, South Asia, and a very limited contribution from Sub-Saharan haplogroups. The results provide a genetic baseline for understanding the biological affinities of the selected tribes of Abbottabad and Mansehra, and can be used as a useful source for forensic examination, molecular anthropology and population genetics of the people of the area.

نواب فصاحت جنگ جلیلؔ

درویش شاعر
جلیل القدر نواب فصاحت جنگ جلیل رحمہ اﷲ تعالیٰ
یکم صفر ۱۳۶۵؁ھ مطابق ۶؍ جنوری ۱۹۴۶؁ء کو مشہور شاعر استاد حضرت جلیل نے پچاسی برس کی عمر میں حیدرآباد دکن میں داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اﷲ تعالیٰ اس درویش شاعر کو اپنی داد رحمت سے شاد فرمائے۔
اﷲ اﷲ! زمانہ کی نیزنگیاں کیا کیا انقلاب دکھاتی ہیں، بچہ جوان، جوان بوڑھا، اور بوڑھا راہ عدم کا مسافر ہوتا ہے، انگریزی کی بیسویں صدی کا پہلا سال تھا جب میری عمر ۱۶، ۱۷ برس کی ہوگی کہ میں دارالعلوم ندوہ لکھنؤ میں داخل ہوا، شعر و سخن کا چسکا مکتبی بیت بازی کے سبب سے پہلے سے تھا، اب لکھنؤ آیا، جہاں کے ذرہ ذرہ کے خمیر میں شعر و سخن کا عنصر ہے، مدرسہ میں بھی اس وقت طالب علم مشاعرے کرتے تھے اور غزلیں پڑھتے تھے، تجمل شاہجہاں پوری، سید ظہور احمد ناحل شاہجہاں پوری (جو بعد کو وحشی شاہجہانپوری ہوگئے تھے) دانا سہسرامی (حکیم رکن الدین دانا ندوی) مصطفےٰ ملیح آبادیؔ صدیق حسن، اثرؔ مانکپوری، شرر بہاری (مولوی عبدالغفور شرر) اور یہ خاکسار اس میں پوری دلچسپی لیتے تھے۔ یہ وہ زمانہ تھا، جب امیروداغ کے زمزموں سے ہندوستان پر شور تھا اور خاکسار کا میلان امیر مرحوم کی طرف تھا اور ان کا دیوان مراۃ الغیب پیش نظر رہتا تھا۔
صدیق حسن صاحب اثر مانکپوریؔ حضرت جلیل کے فرزند تھے اور ان سے اور مجھ سے شعراء انشاء کی دلچسپی کے رشتہ سے یارانہ تھا، اس تعلق میں ان کے والد ماجد کی حضرت امیر مرحوم کے ساتھ شاگردی کی نسبت نے محبت کی گرہ کو اور زیادہ استوار بنا دیاتھا، مولوی صدیق حسن صاحب (حال وظیفہ یاب سرکار نظام) کے پاس ان کے والد کی غزلوں کا سفینہ تھا، میں اس کو اکثر دیکھتا اور اس کے اچھے اشعار یاد کرتا، چنانچہ...

Child Labour in the Light of Quran and Sunnah

Child labor has been considered the most troubling & one of the greatest problems of great concern in the modern world, since it has not only negative effects on the child himself, but also on his family & society in general. However, it is a reality that can commonly & frequently be observed in the emerging & backward nations now a day where expropriated & evicted people take their young ones to workplaces to compete with their livelihoods. This article seeks to highlight the status of child labor & its solution in the light of Qur᾽an & Sunnah as many experts and platforms have offered their own solution. The study population consisted of scholars &the teachers/A᾽ema Kerām of religious institutions (Madrasah) of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bannu, while its sample included 30 scholars & teachers/A᾽ema of different Madrasah in the Bannu District. The researcher has adopted content & methodologies of the interview from the respondents to explore this issue in detail. This study has the sole objective of: to find out solution of the Child Labour in the light of Holy Qur᾽an & Sunnah. This article summarizes the conclusion that holy religion of Muslims(Islam) strictly prohibit child labour, although allows child labour in some special cases, such as light work & character building activities which is

Implications of Climate Change on Human Health: An Agricultural Perspective

Malaria is the second most prevalent disease in Pakistan. Despite many malaria eradication programs the disease burden is increasing. Changing climate affects humans directly and indirectly. In direct case, it causes an increase in malarial morbidity while it affects the physical strength and working efficiency of humans indirectly that ultimately leads to higher expenditures on medication. Farm workers are the community, highly affected through malaria because they are prone to work in environmental conditions which are favorite habitats of mosquito production. Loss of family labor and increased expenditures lead to a loss in revenue earned from agriculture. So, main objectives of the study were to determine the spatio-temporal effects of climate change on morbidity caused by malaria including socio-economic conditions and further to find the impact of health shocks of malaria on farm workers and then how these health shocks lead to decrease in revenue earned from agricultural production. In first part, linkages between climate change, socio economic conditions and malaria were found on monthly basis from the year 2000 to 2013 in 15 districts of Province Punjab. After this, the district more prone to malaria was selected where health shocks due to malaria were calculated for farm workers and further the effect on revenue from crop production due to health shocks was estimated. The stepwise model selection procedure was adopted and Generalized Linear Model with negative binomial family was selected for secondary data analysis. Results of the study show that temperature, rainfall and humidity variables have significant relationship as two months lag to the malaria month of interest and their quadratic terms also showed a significant but negative relationship with the malaria prevalence. Females’ education showed negative and significant relationship while education of males showed negative but insignificant relationship. On the other hand health facility provision per thousand of population was positive and highly significant that was contrary to the expectations and it was found that health facilities with inadequate quality do not contribute positively to minimize the malaria burden. District dummies showed that district Muzaffargarh is the area highly affected due to malaria prevalence. The detailed analysis was carried out by using primary data. Simultaneous equation approach was used to analyze the data. The ill member not only cause a loss in family labor but household also hires labor that automatically increases the cost and further time spent of care giving by an active family member also cause an increase in expenditure that increases total cost on cultivation per acre. The data analysis was carried out in the simultaneous equation framework and in final equation it was found that with one unit increase in the cost of malaria cure per acre revenue decreases by 2530 rupees. The effect of disease is different from one district to other so a targeted health intervention is required to meet the sustainable development goal of malaria eradication. Further, besides other effects of climate change, its effect on human health should be given due consideration.
