The Post-Cold war scenario has induced diverse strategic implications on the South Asian security architecture that envisioned competition between India, Pakistan and China. China’s enduring military modernization and economic rise strengthened its intent to get super power status in future that shaped mistrust for the US as the US assumes China as its potential competitor. To restrain China’s rise, the US planned a ring of encirclement with the collaboration of various regional players including India. The emerging Sino-US animosity and China’s ongoing power progression distresses India’s security framework. The spectrum of India’s security widened and it devised multiple counter containment strategies vis a vis China. On the other hand, Pakistan’s threat perceptions are mainly Indo-centric and Sino-Indian strategic resentment generated serious strategic repercussions for Pakistan and provoked security dilemma between India, Pakistan and China. In order to dilate upon the subject matter, Realist Paradigm and its key drivers (through qualitative approach) provide theoretical understanding to ascertain trilateral security dilemma that ultimately leads toward regional instability. Contours of South Asian strategic puzzle are mainly based on India-Pakistan relations and after becoming overt nuclear powers, both the states commanded restraint. They only faced limited armed conflict in 1999. Likewise, Sino-Indian aversion diversified regional strategic environment vulnerable and for avoiding any upcoming Indo-Pak and Sino-Indian nuclear conflict, the three states adopted ‘Minimum Credible Deterrence’ postures on similar footings. Nonetheless, their persisting ambiguities and deeprooted multidimensional conflicts disrupted South Asian stability. For sustaining strategic stability, various formal and informal arms control measures have been proposed on bilateral, trilateral, multilateral and regional institutional level. Informal measures are comparatively more convincing since they address the root causes of trilateral trust deficit through Confidence Building Measures. It offers that China’s gambit through trade with India and Pakistan particularly in the backdrop of ‘One Belt One Road’, will have spillover impact on Indo-Pak relations that have a potential to ultimately uphold South Asian strategic stability in future.

ڈینگی بخار قابلِ علاج ہے

ڈینگی بخار قابل علاج ہے
انسان جب سے منصہ شہود پر جلوہ گر ہوا ہے نشیب و فراز اور افراط و تفریط اس کا مقدر رہے ہیں۔ کہیں مسرتوں اور خوشیوں نے اس کا ساتھ دیا ہے تو کہیں غم و اندوہ کی بھیا نک وادیاں اس کا مسکن رہی ہیں،کبھی اس کے دل و دماغ خوش و خرم ہوتے ہیں اورکبھی افسردگی اور پژمردگی کی تپش اس کے سہانے خوابوں کو ملیا میٹ کر دیتی ہے، ان متنوع حالات سے انسان کو پالا پڑتا رہتا ہے۔ اور پھر حالات بدلتے رہتے ہیں اور مشکلات آسانیوں کا لباس زیب تن کر لیتی ہیں۔
رنج سے خوگر ہوا انساں تو مٹ جاتا ہے رنج
مشکلیں اتنی پڑیں مجھ پہ کہ آساں ہو گئیں
در دوالم کا ستایا ہوا انسان آج کل پھر ایک بیماری جس کوڈینگی بخار کے نام سے یاد کیا جاتا ہے کی لپیٹ میں ہے۔ یہ بخار 1775 میں افریقہ ،شمالی امریکہ اور ایشیاء میں پراسرار طور پرنمودار ہوا، اس بخار کا سبب مادہ مچھر ہوتی ہے جو کاٹتی ہے تو بخار ہو جاتا ہے۔ اس بخار کے پیراسائیٹس کو پلازموڈیم کہتے ہیں۔ یہ مادہ مچھر طلوع آفتاب اور غروب آفتاب کے وقت عروج و شباب پر ہوتی ہے اور پھر اس کے حملے شدید ہو جاتے ہیں۔ یہ مادہ مچھر ایک اعلیٰ ترین نسل سے منسوب کی جاتی ہے جو گندے پانی وغیرہ کو پسند نہیں کرتی بلکہ خوشنما، سرسبز پھولوں، پھلوں والے پودوں اور درختوں پر ڈیرہ جماتی ہے، اس کی حکومت زیادہ سے زیادہ دو ہفتے ہوتی ہے اور پھر ختم ہوجاتی ہے۔
قرآنِ پاک میں ارشادِ باری تعالیٰ ہے’’ کہ جب میں بیمار ہوتا ہوں تو وہ ( اللہ تعالیٰ) مجھے شفاء دیتا ہے‘‘ (پارہ-19 سورۃ الشعرائ) اسی طرح حدیث پاک میںارشاد رسالت مآب صلی اللہ علیہ و آلہٖ...

حوالہ کا فقہی تصور اور اس کی جدید صورتیں

This article is divided in to two sections: the first one; is to study of Ḥawāla according to Fiqhi rules, i.e. Its definition, conditions, its qualities and its specifications. In the second part, Ḥawāla is discussed according to application of the Bank, and its practical forms in different institutions. Ḥawāla is a contract in which a party or a person transfers his debt from his risk to another party or another person. Ḥawāla is used for different purposes, for example, bill of exchange, Financial Papers and different Banking accounts. This paper also discusses the difference between Ḥawāla and wakālah, Ḥawāla and Kafāla, and also Ḥawāla and Debt. Therefore, analysis, about Ḥawāla is very essential and many studies have been done on it. Furthermore, it will also critically provide their textual evidence and rational arguments in order to reach a financial juristic judgment. Ḥawāla is used in credit card, discounting of bill of exchange, etc. At the end the paper discusses its conclusion and offers some requests and suggestions.

Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Isis : Major Power Politics in Middle East 2006-2016

The rise of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in the conflict stricken region of Middle East constituted a direct challenge to the states, regional and extra-regional, involved. Most significantly, the active and competent power relationship between U.S with Saudi Arab and between Iran and Russia generates a dynamic pattern of conflict and cooperation in the Middle Eastern geo-political landscape, based on the convergence and divergence of tangible as well as intangible national interests between them. The rise of ISIS in Middle East also challenged the War on Terrorism under U.S and its allies and Russia and Iran‘s foreign policy ambitions that focus on eliminating terrorism from the region. This research study is designed to understand impact of emergence of a common enemy for the primary regional and transregional states that are woven in the patterns of conflict and cooperation amongst them. It would attempt to analyze that how U.S., Saudi Arab, Iran and Russia are executing their policies in Middle Eastern region to eliminate ISIS and how it is affecting the relationship they share and it impact over the , keeping in view their foreign policy stances in difference conflicts. This research study garnered and analyzed the primary resources from official statements of U.S., Saudi Arab‘s, Iranian and Russian foreign policy mechanisms. It too discussed in what ways these regional powers viewed the ISIS and how ISIS posed a threat to them. Furthermore, this research study focused on understanding the patterns of struggle, competition in addition to the co-operation within the members of a group and between the two groups who have the capacity to influence the power politics in Middle East. There are several theories in international relations that provide a background for studying different global phenomena. In most of the research studies, liberalist and realist paradigms dominates the research studies of International Relations. In addition to that, the research studies that deal with conflict usually utilize conflict and conflict resolution‘s theories and models to understand the modes of conflicts in International Relations. This research study, however, provides a new dimension to understand the core patterns of Major power politics through the theoretical framework provided by Realistic Conflict Group Theory to broaden the horizon of studies related to Major Powers and their foreign policy attributes while keeping in view their national interests and ambitions. Realistic Conflict Group Theory provides a comprehensive approach to generate an understanding how different actors work. Unlike liberalist or realist paradigms that specifically focus upon providing the state behavior through the prism of cooperation and competition respectively, Realistic conflict group theory posits that states tend to indulge in the both mechanisms of cooperation and competition simultaneously thus emerging into in-groups and out-groups based on the level of cooperation and competition that exists between them. This research study thus developed two in-groups which consist of U.S and Saudi Arab in one group whereas Iran and U.S. into another group. This research study thus studied the role of both in-groups towards each other while countering the ISIS, a common threat to the both in-groups. This research study thus reached to the conclusion that, states do possess the sense of prejudices towards other states, as posits by Realistic Conflict Group Theory. Moreover, the rivalry amongst both groups based on the scarcity of tangible as well as intangible resources eventually forced them to indulge in competition towards each other. This research study thus highlighted that the competition and conflict amongst these ingroups contributed in strengthening of the ISIS in the region, and served as a huge factor along with other regional dynamics. This research study thus recommended that these ingroups are required to develop a framework of mechanism to eliminate their common enemy and threat that is ISIS.
