Critical Discourse Analysis of BA English Text Book: A Feminist Perspective. Critical Discourse Analysis [CDA] finds out power relation and hegemony in social relations. It identifies social injustices in social relations naturalized through social and discourse practices. Moreover, CDA examines, from feminist perspective, the unequal power relations based on gender disparities and gender inequalities. The feminist CDA investigates the portrayal of female gender in discourse practices in patriarchal roles. The gender biased curriculum has impact on the personalities and cogitative abilities of the students. The gender biased curriculum portrays women either in negative roles or in gender biased roles as housewives engaged in domestic chores. This study investigates whether English text books at BA level in Pakistan portray women in traditional roles as cooking and looking after children. This study examines the construction of female identity, assigning occupational roles on bases of gender, marginalizing female gender and uplifting male gender in English text books at BA level. These aspects are the focus of the present study in order to find out the gender disparities in the textbooks selected for the present study. Power relation is also exercised through language. The present study explores the use of language in constructing identities based on gender. The study focuses the selection of words in the depiction of male and female gender in the textbooks. The analysis takes account of the depiction of patriarchal roles with the help of language for each gender.

شیخ محمد مجذوب

شیخ محمد مجذوب
یہ خبر سن کر بڑا ملال ہوا کہ عالم عرب کے ایک فاضل اور اچھے اہل قلم استاد شیخ محمد مجذوب جون ۱۹۹۹؁ء میں وفات پاگئے، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون۔
وہ شام کے رہنے والے تھے۔ مگر ان کی زندگی کا زیادہ حصہ دوسری جگہوں میں بسر ہوا، عرصہ تک جامعہ اسلامیہ مدینہ منورہ میں درس و تدریس کی خدمت پر مامور رہے۔ سبکدوش ہونے کے بعد بھی مدینہ منورہ کے انوار و برکات سے متمتع ہونے کے لیے انہوں نے یہیں قیام پذیر رہنا پسند کیا۔
مجذوب صاحب کی پوری زندگی علم و دین کی خدمت و اشاعت میں گزری، تصنیف و تالیف کا شغل مدۃالعمر جاری رہا، ہندوستان کا سفر بھی کیا اور حضرت مولانا سید ابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ کی دعوت پر ۱۹۸۱؁ء میں دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء کے طلبہ کے سامنے علمی، دینی اور دعوتی موضوعات پر کئی لکچر دیئے۔ دارالمصنفین کی عظمت و شہرت سے واقف تھے اس لیے زحمتِ سفر برداشت کر کے مولانا سعیدالرحمن الاعظمی اڈیٹر البعث الاسلامی کے ہمراہ اعظم گڑھ بھی تشریف لائے اور دو روز قیام کیا۔ کتب خانہ اور دارالمصنفین کے دوسرے شعبے دیکھ کر خوش ہوئے۔
آرام و تفریح کے خیال سے موسم گرما میں شام کے شہر لاذقیہ گئے ہوئے تھے کہ داعی اجل کا پیام آگیا والبقاء ﷲ وحدہ۔ عمر ۹۰ سال رہی ہوگی۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ علم و دین کے اس خادم کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ آمین!! (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، ستمبر ۱۹۹۹ء)

The Constitution Amendments in the Original Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. its Effects & Legal Challenges: A Comparative Study

Pakistan whose history since the day of independence (i.e., 1947), is replete with dismissal of the elected governments and impositions of martial laws that ruled the country for over a period of 30 years, under Ayub Khan (1958-1969); Yahya Khan (1969-1971); Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto [as Civilian Martial Law Administrator] (1971-1972); Zia-ul-Haq (1977- 1988) and Parvez Musharraf (1999-2008), respectively. It is undeniable historical fact that in all these unfortunate scenarios, the matters relating to imposition of martial laws, whenever came under discussion before the honorable apex Courts, in most of those cases, the judicial verdicts, pronounced from time to time, not only seems to be leaned towards upholding the imposition of Martial Laws but also self-contained elements of the injustice therein too; whereby prima facie the honorable apex Court(s) while over stepping their prescribed constitutional limits unfortunately allowed the military dictator(s) to effect the constitutional amendments as per their own sweet whims and desire. The matter does not end here, rather, whenever the issue relating to the dictatorial Act’s, Ordinances, Martial Law Regulations or Amendments etc., if came before the successive Parliament(s) of its time, the constitutional history of Pakistan again reveals an ugly image of its kinds, whereby not only all those Acts, Ordinances, Martial Law Regulations or Amendments as the case may be; which were either made or introduced into the Constitution as such got indemnified/validated by the Parliamentarians or subsequently given the legal shelter/protections through cover of Constitutional Amendment Acts; that too, without introduction of even a slightest change therein. It is worth to mention here, that while focusing the military expeditions; endure would also be made in examining all those Constitutional Amendments too, which had/have purely been brought into the Constitution by the Politicians (ruling parties) themselves, with their hidden object to strengthen their respective offices, while shifting the centre of powers from the office of Parliament to that of the office of a Sole Party Head (who may even be a non-elected member too) of the ruling party. Besides above, endeavors would also be made to put light on those Constitutional Amendments too, which has been made part of the Constitution in order to serve/protect the interest of Judiciary as well. In nut shell the thesis would be examining the effects of all such amendments, which had particularly de-shaped/disfigured the overall Constitutional Schemes of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. Most importantly, the relevant constitutional and legal issues would be highlighted and discussed in its chronological orders vis-a-vis the Constitutional Amendments made from day one till so far; besides above efforts would be made to pinpoint the circumstances which had actually given an unbridled license to the military dictators (i.e., through the judgments rendered by the apex Courts) or to the politicians or likewise to the apex Courts, as the case may be, to put their personal wishes/whims over the wishes/whims of the general masses, particularly, when the Social Binding Contract (i.e., Constitution) to which they subjugated is grossly mutilated by such military/civilian usurper’s commands. At last the research would be concluded with solution to settle down the dilemma which cropped up due to mutual connivance of the Judicial, Military and Politicians understandings, while risking the social & legal norms of the society at large.
