Afro-American Historiography: Sociolinguistic Analysis of Black American Writing Oppression and liberty have oppositionality with each other but the latter emerges out of the former if patience, fortitude, discipline, unity and faith endure. It is true that where discrimination exists, revolt is only an inch below the surface. The Africans who were enslaved by the Americans never fully adjusted to slavery for accepted its inevitability. Inspite of all the inhuman atrocities inflicted upon them which made many to yield, the enlightened sons of the soil continued their struggle. Their constitutional struggle was not only for existence/ survival of the race but also for their recognition as honorable citizen of America. They fought against bigotry, racism, injustice, brutal violence, lynching, terror, and death in this democracy. The efforts made by this oppressed class, the ups and downs of their socio-economic status during previous two hundred years and the odds against success in the struggle are little known, especially in international circles. It required great struggle for the Afro-Americans to become a part of the main stream of social, economic, political, educational and judicial system of America. To cope with their inability to achieve their target, they developed ways to express their enthusiasms for freedom. Their pursuit of liberty differed in various parts of the country depending upon the following factors: conditions of the respective plantation; the rich past cultural heritage of the blacks; political upheavels and civil war in America; racism and segregation; contact with the Caribbian Africans struggle for human rights and American constitutional frame work struggle for human rights. The rise of the national protest organizations like the NAACP, The National Urban League, The Congress of Racial Equality, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Students Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee and other such organizations provided a collective leadership to the Black Americans for racial equality, civil and political rights, economic and educational advancements. Afro-Americans full blooded by repponded to slavery in accordance with the proposals and rhetoric of leaders from their own ranks. This research focuses on the socioliguistic analysis of the speeches of eminent African Americans who made the Blacks realize pride in their cultural heritage, enhance their confidence and self image and develop consensus, appropriate behavior and living standard. The future rests on their ability to become more inclusive than exclusive, more open than closed and more egalitarian than elitist.

مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان ندوی

مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ ہندوستان اور پاکستان کے کئی اصحاب ِ علم وقلم نے وفات پائی، ان میں سب سے ممتاز شخصیت مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان ندوی کی تھی، مرحوم دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلمأ کے دورِ اول کی پیداوار اور اپنی علمی وتصنیفی قابلیت کے اعتبار سے ممتاز حیثیت کے مالک تھے، ان کا وطن شاہجہان پور تھا، اور تعلیم ندوۃ العلمأ میں حاصل کی تھی، انھوں نے مولانا شبلی مرحوم سے باقاعدہ درس تو نہیں لیا تھا، مگر ان کی صحبت کے فیض یافتہ تھے، تعلیم سے فراغت کے بعد کئی سال تک دارالعلوم کے مشہور رسالہ الندوہ کے اڈیٹر رہے، اور کچھ دنوں تک ندوہ کے اہتمام کے فرائض بھی انجام دیئے تھے۔
غالباً ۱۹۲۰؁ء میں نواب صدر یارجنگ مولانا حبیب الرحمن خان شروانی مرحوم نے اُن کو آل انڈیا مسلم ایجو کیشنل کانفرنس کے اسسٹنٹ سکر یٹری کی حیثیت سے علی گڑھ بلالیا تھا، جس سے وہ آخر عمر تک وابستہ رہے، مولانا شروانی مرحوم کا قیام امور مذہبی کی صدارت کے سلسلہ میں حیدر آباد میں رہتا تھا، اس لئے کانفرنس کا سارا کام مولانا اکرام اﷲ خان کے ہا تھوں میں تھا، جس کو انھوں نے بڑی خوش اسلوبی سے چلایا، کا نفرنس گزٹ کے اڈیٹر ی کے فرائض بھی وہی انجام دیتے رہے، اور کانفرنس کی تجویزیں اور سالانہ اجلاسوں کی رپورٹیں وغیرہ بھی وہی مرتب کرتے تھے، اور ۱۹۲۰؁ء سے لے کر ۱۹۵۱؁ء کامل ۳۰ سال تک کانفرنس انہی کی ذات سے عبارت تھی مرحوم کو ندوۃ العلمأ سے بھی گہرا تعلق تھا، اور وہ ہر زمانہ میں اسکی خدمت انجام دیتے رہے۔
طبعاً نہایت متین، خاموش، کم آمیز اور دنیاوی جاہ وشہرت سے بے نیاز تھے، اسی لئے علمی دنیا میں وہ شہرت حاصل نہ کرسکے، جس کے وہ حقیقتاً مستحق تھے، مگر...

تأثير الفقر على حياة الشاعر الجاهلي: دراسة تحليلية

There is no doubt that poverty is one of the major phenomenon which destroys the entity of the human society and it is also one of the obstacles that prevents the ability and talent of humans to create and innovate in a suitable environment, it also causes the ignorance, mental and social tension, and it also desists human being to strengthen his family ties and make well settled position in the society, it affects adversely the life and mind of humans and forced him to commit crimes and violations in the society. We see that this phenomenon has affected the life of pre-Islamic poet and compelled him on raiding and robbery, so in this article we have tried to highlight the impact of poverty on the life of pre-Islamic poet.

Synthesis and Characterization of Nanoparticles for Potential Application in Gout Treatment

Nanoparticles have been known for their unique properties and are being utilized in various disciplines of sciences. Nanoparticles due to their smaller size enable them to higher exposure and higher availability through gastrointestinal tract when administered orally. In this research four metallic oxides nanoparticles (iron, zinc, silver and copper) along with three biological nanoparticles (turmeric, garlic and cinnamon) were synthesized. Various characterization techniques were utilized to evaluate these synthesized nanoparticles. Among the synthesized metallic nanoparticles the mean diameter of zinc oxide nanoparticles was around 47 nm, the mean diameter of iron oxide nanoparticles was around 54 nm, the diameter of silver oxide nanoparticles ranged between 40-70 nm and the diameter of copper nanoparticles ranged between 30-50 nm. Moreover, mean diameter of synthesized garlic and turmeric nanoparticles were 62 and 46 nm respectively. However, cinnamon particles turned out to be in micro ranges. To evaluate potential of these synthesized nanoparticle in Gout treatment mice were used as model organism. For this experiment mice were induced with gout by injecting them with MSU crystals. These synthesized nanoparticles were administered orally to mice in various concentrations of 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm. Biochemical tests such as RFTs, LFTs, lipid profile and blood count were performed to evaluate the effect of these nanoparticles at various concentration on gout. From renal function tests it was observed that these nanoparticles had decreased the uric acid levels in mice thus treating gout. From these biochemical test it was observed that nanoparticles were effective in reducing serum uric acid levels among which 5 ppm AgO NPs (1.80 ± 0.3098), 5 ppm zinc (2.00 ±0.8944), 5 ppm turmeric NPs (1.550 ± 0.1517) and 20 ppm garlic NPs (1.750 ± 0.1378) showed the most significant (P<0.01) results in reducing serum uric acid in comparison to allopurinol (2.11 ± 0.3710). Furthermore, at lower concentrations nanoparticles did not cause any significant toxicity. From this research it was concluded that the synthesized zinc, turmeric, garlic and cinnamon nanoparticles have potential in treating gout. Renal function test of these groups revealed that the uric acid levels were considerably decreased as well as the swelling of ankles also decreased. Moreover, the mice which were locally administered with 5 ppm of Turmeric-oil NPs had astonishing effect in decreasing the swelling of mice ankles. Repeated oral administration of various nanoparticles at lower concentration can result in the reduction of serum uric acid levels in mice.
