This qualitative study aimed at exploring the ‘Girls Stipend Programme’ with a focus on the views of stipend recipients and their parents in a government school in Hyderabad, Sindh. In particular, the study has been intended to understand how these girls and their parents viewed ‘stipend’ as a support system for education. The participants included stipend recipients who were enrolled in secondary classes as well as recipients who had dropped out from secondary school prior to data collection. The parents of these girl recipients and their teachers also participated in the study. The findings of this study reveal that although the stipend amount is not much however, it has had a significant impact on improving the enrolment of girls in school. At the same time, for a few families this stipend does not contain the same value due to their better financial standing. The study revealed that irregular distribution of the allocated amount has resulted in problems. It was also found that a lack of financial resources could be one of the reasons for limiting female education; there might be many other contextual issues, which result in a lack of educational attainment. The most prominent of issues are restricted mobility of females, uneven family norms, lack of motivation towards female education, hostile social environment and patriarchal systems, which associate family honour with the conduct of its women. The study indicates a partial success of stipend programmes as a subsidy and motivational factor to improve female education thereby reducing gender inequalities at secondary education level. Further research is recommended to examine a host of other challenges and constraints, which complicate girls’ access to education and retention in schools.

رام بابو سکسینہ

رام بابو سکینہ
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ مہینہ اردو زبان کے مشہور محسن اور نامور مصنف رام بابو سکسینہ بھی ہم سے جدا ہوگئے۔ ابھی گزشتہ ہی مہینہ ۹؍ دسمبر کو ان سے ہندوستانی اکیڈمی کے جلسہ میں ملاقات ہوئی تھی، کیا معلوم تھا کہ یہ آخری ملاقات ہے، ان کو اردو زبان کی خدمت سے عشق تھا اور اس کو انھوں نے زندگی کا مشغلہ بنالیا تھا اور اردو زبان و ادب کی تاریخ پر بڑی قابل قدر کتابیں لکھیں۔ ان میں تاریخ ادب اردو بہت مشہور اور اس موضوع پر پہلی جامع و محققانہ کتاب ہے، اب اردو کے مختلف پہلوؤں پر بہت سی کتابیں لکھی جاچکی ہیں، مگر اس کتاب کی اولیت اپنی جگہ پر قائم ہے، اردو کے یورپین شعراء کا ایک ضخیم اور محققانہ تذکرہ بھی عرصہ ہوا لکھا تھا، ابھی تھوڑے ہی دن ہوئے قدیم شعراء کا ایک مرقع اور میر کی مثنویاں بخط میر شائع کی تھیں، ان کے علاوہ ان کی اور تصانیف بھی ہیں، جو ابھی شائع نہیں ہوسکی ہیں، اردو کی ایسی خدمت کی مثالیں اس دور میں کم ملیں گی، ابھی ہندوستانی اکیڈمی کے جلسہ میں جہاں پورا ماحول اردو کا مخالف تھا۔ اس کی صریح حمایت میں تنہا ان ہی کی آواز بلند ہوئی تھی، ہندوستان کی موجودہ فضا کو دیکھتے ہوئے ہندوؤں میں آئندہ اردو کے ایسے شیدائی پیدا ہونے کی امید کم ہے۔
یادگار زمانہ تھے یہ لوگ
سن رکھو تم فسانہ تھے یہ لوگ
(شاہ معین الدین ندوی،جنوری ۱۹۵۸ء)

 

مغرب کا نظریہ ملکیت اور اسلام تقابلی جائزہ

Islam recognizes the right of individual ownership of material things in this world. A person can hold all kinds of Halal material things in his individual possession. However, Islamic Shari'a doesn't allow such a concept of individual ownership which is given in Capitalism and as adopted by Western world. The Western world's concept about individual ownership is very liberal and without any restrictions. While, Islam doesn't give full liberty to any individual but rather instructs them to own and possess Halal material things via legitimate sources, and also instructs the right usage of these material things in the light of Qur'an and Sunnah. The benefit of this Islamic law is that disqualified individuals, such as an insane person or children, have no right on disposing his or her individual property. Similarly, in the eyes of Islam, an individual person is not allowed to dispose his or her property in such a way which causes trouble and inconvenience to others, for example a person cannot dig a well on his own land which causes trouble and inconvenience to others. Islam prohibits such disposing of an individual's property.

Direct and Interactive Effects of Organizational Justice and Perceptions of Politics on Personal and Organizational Outcomes

For millennia in all noteworthy civilizations, the importance and necessity of justice to the maintenance of stability and health of societies have been advocated. Justice in any organizational system is considered to be important at least from two perspectives (a) as a virtuous end in itself and (b) the negative consequences of its absence. Scholars have argued that if organizational decisions and managerial actions are deemed unfair or unjust, the affected employees experience feelings of anger and resentment. Further, the employees affected by injustice not only become angry and unhappy but may also retaliate directly or indirectly. However, organizational justice research has focused mainly on establishing the direct effects of various types of justice on outcomes. There is little research on whether employees’ response to the instances of injustice varies and if so, under what circumstances and to what extent? Hence, an area requiring attention is the incorporation of situational variables into the empirical models to investigate the explanatory power of these variables and to enhance the predictive capacity of justice dimensions in explaining outcomes. Organizational politics has been and is now widely recognized as a fact of organizational life. It has been suggested that it is more important than competence. Scholars have argued that politics should be conceived of as a subjective evaluation rather than an objective reality: individuals respond on the basis of their perceptions of reality, not necessarily reality per se. Thus, how members in organizations perceive organizational politics has been one of the interesting aspects of research in the area. Perceptions of organizational politics have been studied as a direct antecedent to many outcomes; but it has received minimal attention as a potential moderator. viA substantial part of the past research on organizational justice and politics has been carried out primarily in the individualistic western cultures, particularly in the U.S. This study attempts to fill the gap in these two significant areas of organizational life by exploring the interactive effects of perceptions of politics and three types of justice- distributive, procedural and interactional-on five personal and organizational outcomes i.e., job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior and intent to turnover; it also investigates the direct effects of the justice dimensions and perceptions of politics on these outcomes in a non-Western and still broadly collectivist culture of Pakistan. Data was collected through questionnaires from employees and their supervisors of several national and multinational organizations. The results support most hypotheses suggesting the main effects of three justice types on outcomes. It especially highlights the importance of interactional justice as we find that it is the only justice dimension which showed significant relationship with all the outcomes studied in this research. The findings also reveal that perceptions of politics are significantly related to job performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, OCB, and turnover intentions. The results indicate significant interactive effects of perceptions of politics and justice dimensions on job satisfaction only.
