Cultural Marxism: Pursuit of Pleasure Principle in Uzma Aslam Khan's Trespassing And Geometry of God This study explores the impact of Cultural Marxism: the way pleasure principle has been displayed in contemporary Pakistani fiction, especially two novels of Uzma Aslam Khan, Trespassing and Geometry of God. This study is concerned with the impact of linguistic practices of parents and elders on the life and activities of their children. The research starts with questions which are concerned with the factors responsible for pursuit of pleasure principle by characters in the novels of Khan. It also deals with the use of ideologically contested vocabulary and its significance in moulding the thoughts of young characters. Literature related to importance of culture in the life of human beings, language as a part of culture, effectiveness of language in moulding thoughts of people, process of socialization, role of parents and environment in socialization of children, social change and role played by language in introducing social change, forms part of critical discussion in chapter two. While chapter three is concerned with the methodology adopted for analysis of the novels. The study makes use of framework of Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough under the umbrella term of poststructuralism in the light of Sigmund Freud's theory of pleasure principle for analysis of linguistic practices of characters in the novels of Khan. Based on the analysis and interpretation of novels in chapter four: in chapter five conclusion is drawn which makes explicit that unconscious and careless linguistic practices of parents and elders, their unfulfilled desires in the past, their social commitments and lack of restriction on their children; are various factors which put children in pursuit of pleasure principle in their practical life. In this way, parents, elders and children introduce counter discourse based on pursuit of pleasure principle to the established discourse of values and norms in upper middle class of Pakistani society, as depicted in the two novels of Khan.

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...

فیملی بزنس میں'' ابہام'' سے پیدا ہونے والے مسائل کا شرعی و تحقیقی جائزہ

ABSTRACTFamily Business is a very important form of business in this era and especially because of this it merely does not matter the business, but more sensitivity is of close relatives and relationships. That is why it has many administrative, Shariah and ethical complications. That is why, this theme has been created as a field of discussion and research. If the issues of Family Business are reviewed, their root is to leave the matters undefined, uncleared and undocumented. Then the solution to all these issues is to overcome their ‘Unclarity’ found in different aspects. To finish the matter, we should clear and correct for example ‘business status’ between father and sons, uncle and nephew or a few brothers. Similarly, in case of death of elders, the inheritance is to be determined. Then that all the matters should be written in a very brief manner and arranged. It is also possible to calculate the income and expenditure account. It is not appropriate that every partner should spend without any speculation. Then one time it becomes difficult to face each other. In this article, we have tried to review all the dimensions where there may be more problems due to ‘unclearity’ in mutual business dealings. In this context, the first business status of family members has been explained. Then mentioned the problems raised after the death of the family leader. Later on, more aspects of the problem are presented by presenting some other observation examples on this subject.

The Teaching of Stylistics at The Post-Graduate Level in Pakistan Universities

The Teaching of Stylistics at The Post-Graduate Level in Pakistan Universities Stylistics as an offshoot of both literature and language is a comparatively new subject. As such it has strong links with the disciplines, both of literature and language and it also serves to unite the two, through its very existence. As a subject it has so far been kept in the background and it is necessary to highlight its importance and bring it to the forefront; The present study seeks to attempt this by bringing to light the various institutions in Pakistan where Stylistics is being taught and through a comparative analysis to highlight the problems encountered by students/teachers of Stylistics and in so doing to recommend alternatives.
