Since no study has been conducted so far to understand changing role of the Balochistan Textbook Board, this study investigates the changing role of Balochistan Textbook Board after the 18th Constitutional Amendment. This qualitative study comprises semi-structured interviews, focused group discussions and analysis of relevant documents. The study uses a purposive sampling strategy. The study finds that the changing role of Balochistan Textbook Board has helped in developing a sense of responsibility and ownership, making progress in textbooks development and speeding up the process of textbooks development including improving the quality of textbooks.

محمد یٰسین نوری بیرسٹر
جناب محمد یٰسین صاحب نوری بیرسٹر بھی ہماری قومی اور ملی زندگی کے بڑے ممتاز ہیرو تھے ۔گجرات ان کا وطن تھا۔ علی گڑھ میں تعلیم پائی اس لیے اس کے اولڈ بوائز ایسوسی ایشن کے بڑے فعال اورمخلص رکن تھے۔ولایت جاکر بیرسٹری کی اور بمبئی میں رہائش اختیار کی۔خلافت تحریک سے لے کر کانگریس کی جنگ آزادی تک ہر تحریک میں بڑھ چڑھ کر حصہ لیا۔قیدوبندکی صعوبتیں برداشت کیں۔مگراپنی کسی خدمت کا صلہ طلب نہیں کیا۔آزادی کے بعد ملک میں مسلمانوں کی حالت زارنے ان کی تمام توجہات اورمساعی کواس حالت کے سدھارنے پر مرکوز کردیاتھا۔اس سلسلہ میں انھوں نے جس بے باکی اور جرأت سے کام کیاوہ اُن کے غایت خلوص اور بے غرض خدمت قوم کی بڑی عمدہ مثال ہے۔ علی گڈھ مسلم یونیورسٹی بل کے سلسلہ میں انھوں نے اولڈ بوائز کونسل کے ایک وفد کے قائد کی حیثیت سے ابھی حال میں ہی وزیراعظم سے جو ملاقات کی تھی تواس میں علی گڑھ کامعاملہ اس خوبی سے پیش کیاکہ وزیراعظم قائل ہوگئیں۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کو آخرت کی فلاح وبہود اور کامرانی وکامیابی سے نوازے اور ان کی قبر ٹھنڈی رہے۔آمین [اگست ۱۹۷۱ء]

علم الجنین و تخلیق جنین کے مختلف ادوار و مراحل قرآن کریم اور سائنس کے تناظر میں

Embryology is such an academic discipline which was based upon the Qura’nic revelation purely and its details were provided by The Holy Prophet (SAW) whereas the scientists remained totally unaware of its intricate details until twentieth century. It was the time when they discovered various stages of the creation and development of fetus inside the mother’s womb and after examination of all these stages through various scientific instruments they openly admitted that Qura’nic verses about fetal development are absolutely accurate. Their acknowledgement is a strong evidence of the authenticity and veracity of The Holy Qura’n for scientific minded people. Not only this but these embryologists also admitted that the information provided in the Holy Qura’n and the A╒adith of The Holy Prophet (SAW) helped them a great deal in formulating the basic hypotheses of their research. So, these scientific discoveries are clear proofs of the miraculous character of Holy Qura’n. The current article is an effort to elaborate the link of modern embryology with the details given in the sacred literature of Islam.

Sexual Abuse of Women and its Impact on Their Social Adjustment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

This study focuses on sexual abuse of women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and its impact on their social adjustment. In this study, sexual abuse was measured as unwanted or non-consensual physical contact/sexual intercourse between the opposite sexes. Sexual assault or harassment or any other physical or sexual contact, in which intercourse was not committed, were excluded from this study. The target area of this study was Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the target population was sexually abused women and professionals. A total of 40 samples were taken and two focused group discussions were held. Of these samples, 30 interviews were conducted with the victims of sexual abuse and 10 interviews were conducted with professionals including 05 psychiatrists and 05 sexologists. All the respondents were accessed through social and familial contacts. These respondents were randomly selected. The nature of sexual violence, identified in this study, included fraternal abuse, incestuous abuse, rape and commercial sex. Those women who were given in enmity (swara), priced (trafficked) and bartered (wata sata), were the victims of fraternal abuse. Women, involved in commercial sex, were the victims of elopement, deception, sexual violence and inducement/enticement. In this study, 12 women were the victims of fraternal abuse, in which 03 women were given in enmity, 07 were trafficked and 02 were bartered. In commercial sex, 08 women were the victims of sexual violence, 01 was the victim of elopement, 03 were the victims of sexual deception and 01 was the victim of sexual enticement/inducement. Of 30 victims, 05 women were raped, in which 04 rapes were opportunistic and 01 was incapacitated. Illiteracy, domesticity, authority and coercive control, fear of curse and ex-communication, dependency syndrome, unequal distribution of power and curse of the will, were some of the causes, found in this study that highly restrained women from disclosing their sexual abuse incidences. Familial rejection and denial of share in inheritance were the two main factors, strongly contributed to victims’ vulnerability. Bad reproductive and mental health, suicidal tendencies, drug addiction and alcoholism, prostitution, bad physical and relational health and low self-esteem were some of the impacts of sexual abuse, found in this study. Among the respondents, 04 victims were found with strong suicidal ideation, 13 women were found in commercial sex who had no previous history of involvement in commercial sex. In this study, three main destinations were identified for victims of sexual abuse; death, brothel and excommunication that finally led to prostitution, drug addiction and suicidal temptations. Owing to these three destinations for the victims of sexual abuse, their adjustment in society (Pakhtun social setup) is impossible.
