Middle East has world's oldest civilization due to its relevance with three great Divine Abrahamic religions i.e., Judaism. Christianity and Islam. The strategic importance of the region made it center-stage for the great and regional powers to show their keen interests in the region. The region is rich in natural resources that are fulfilling more than 80% of trade and oil needs of the world. More or less the major economies of the world are dependent on the Middle East due to its oil reserves. This made the region more volatile and highly instable that creates threats to the regional as well as global security. The Arab Spring and Syrian crisis in 2011 are new developments in the region that have changed the security environment and regional order. The imbalance in the region after Arab Spring and Syrian crisis has affected the global security equation along with regional power balance. These two recent events in the regional politics have divided the region into 'peace region'; Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Bahrain, Qatar and 'disturbed region'; Syria, Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Tunisia. A purely regional issue i.e., Syrian civil war has not only affected the regional order but also divided the world community into two major blocs having divergent objectives and policies in the region. The Arab uprisings and Syrian crisis in 2011 provided space to regional actors such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar to exert their influence in the region that are emerging as new regional players in the Middle East. In the contemporary Middle East, Syria became the focal point and a playground for the great powers to achieve certain objectives in the region. At the regional level, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Bahrain are supporting anti-Assad forces in the region whereas, Iran along with Hezbollah and Hamas are countering the militant rebels against downfall of Assad regime. The recent Geneva talks of 2013 of P5+1 and Iran over Iranian nuclear controversy has increased the regional influence of Iran. At the global level, the US, France and Great Britain are in favor of opposition in Syria; on the other hand China and Russia are favoring the Assad regime by vetoing UN Security Council resolutions against any military action on Syria. In the present time, Sino-Russian active presence in the regional politics of Middle East is a new variable that has regional and global implications. Syria became a quagmire of contending interests among great powers of the world. Russia as former super power has long history and technological military advancement along with rising China as an economic giant to get together in the Middle East to counter the U$ and Western penetration in the region. Beijing and Moscow have maintained a regional balance in the vulnerable security environment of the region. The world has witnessed that Sino-Russian nexus is important for Middle East that can bring peace and stability in the region. The Middle East as regional security complex has been affecting super security complex at the global front. The series of vetoes by China and Russia over Syrian conflict have marked questions on the uni-polar character of the world order.

اجوکا سماج تے سلطان کھاروی

اجوکا سماج تے سلطان کھاروی

منکھ تے سماج دا آپسی تعلق ڈھیڑ گوہڑا تے پرانا اے ۔منکھ سماج وچ اپنی ہو ند تے پہچان نوں سب توں وکھرا برقرار رکھن لئی کئی کم کر دا ہے ۔کدے ایہہ کم سماج لئی لائحے وند ہوندے نیں تے دوجے منکھ ایہناں توں لابھ چکدے نیں ۔منکھ کئی واری حیاتی گزار دے ہوئے اجیہے کم وی کر جا ندا اے جو اوس دی اپنی ذات تے سماج لئی لائحے وند نہیں ہوندے ۔ ایس دے سٹے اوس دی اپنی ذات تے سماج اتے بھیڑے پیندے نیں ،سٹے وجھوں سماج اندر کئی اوکڑاں تے برائیاں دا جنم ہو ندا اے ۔فیر ہو لی ہو لی سارا سماج اوکڑاں دا شکار ہو برائیاں دے کلاوے وچ آ جاندا اے ایہناں اوکڑاں تے برائیاں دا سدھے یا ان سدھے طور اتے منکھی وطیرے تے وی اثر پیندا اے ۔ شاعر کیوں جے سماج دا حساس ترین منکھ ہوندااے ایس لئی اوہ ایہناں دا اثرات نوں اپنی شاعری راہیں بیان کرن دا جتن کر دا اے ۔

سلطان کھاروی وی ایہناں کویاں وچوں اک کوی ہے جو سماجک گھٹناواں نوں اکھوں اوہلے نہیں کر دا۔ سگوں ان جھک ہو کے شعراں راہیں بیان کر کے نہ صرف لو کائی نوں ایہناںبارے جانکاری دیندا اے سگوں ایہناں خلاف لوکائی وچ نفرت پیدا کر ن دا جتن وی کر دا اے۔ آپ نے سماجک ،دھارمک ، راج نیتک توں وکھ جنہاں اوکڑاں تے برائیاں دا ذکر اپنی کوتا وچ کیتا اے ۔ اوس دا جائز ہ انج اے ۔

کسے وی دیس دی ترقی لئی اوتھے دی رج نیتک حالت دا چنگا ہونا بہوں چنگا جانیا جاندا اے۔ امن و امن دی صورت چنگی ہوون کارن سماج اندر ہر قسم دی ترقی ہووے گی ۔عدل و انصاف...

Jenkins’ Deliberations on Communal Conflict with the Leaders of Punjab: 1946-47 (Part-II)

Bhim Sen Sacher informed Jenkins about the destruction caused by arson in Lahore. Akbari Mandi, Chune Mandi, Chauhatta Basti, Bhagat Singh Basti, Kucha Kagzian and Pipal Vehra had been burnt down. The fire brigade could not cope with those vast and dispersed areas. If someone tried to extinguish the fire he was shot at by the police. Bhim Sen Sachar suggested that the only way to save Lahore was to impose martial law in the city. He hoped that the Governor would take that step immediately.64 Jenkins thanked Lala Bhim Sen Sachar and Gokul for their letters informing him about Lahore. Jenkins explained that fire brigade had done a good job in spite of constraints and difficulties. He believed that all communities had access to incendiary materials, and could use it without detection by traversing joined roof-tops. Throwing fire-balls from one house to another was wreaking devastation. Checking trouble of that kind was not an easy job, but searches were carried out and culprits were arrested.6

The Interaction of Psychological Factors on the Use of Language Learning Strategies: A Study at High School Level in Pakistan

The current research was originated by detecting the significance of the language learning strategies (LLS) with relation to the psychological factors. Previous research studies have shown language anxiety to be associated with broad based indices of language achievement. However, to date few researchers have empirically investigated the potential link between foreign language anxiety and language learning strategies. The objectives of current study were multifold. The first was to investigate which language learning strategies were frequently used by Pakistani high school students. The second was to discover the anxiety level of the participants and the third to find out the interaction of anxiety on the use of LLS. 476 high school students of grade 10th belonging to 18 schools (Private, Public, Rural and Urban)of Bahawalpur (Pakistan). Strategy Inventory for language learning (SILL) (Oxford, 1990) was used as an instrument to explore the language learning strategies used. Foreign Language Class Room Anxiety scale (Horwitz, Horwitz & Cope, 1986) was applied as an instrument for measuring the anxiety level of students. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, Pearson r correlation, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), T-Test and Cronbach’s alpha. The result of the SILL phase of the research revealed the frequency of strategies used by Private, Public, Rural, Urban, Science, Non Science, Low Proficiency and High Proficiency students. A significant relationship was explored between language learning strategies use and class room anxiety. Interaction of anxiety on language learning strategies was explored under three classes of anxiety as communication anxiety, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation as stated by Horwitz et al. (1986). Students with medium level of communication anxiety used more memory and cognitive strategies than low and high communication anxiety level students. Students with low communication anxiety level used more cognitive strategies than medium and high communication anxiety level students, while students xi with high communication anxiety level used more affective strategies than low communication anxiety level students. Students with low test anxiety level used more cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies than medium test anxiety level students. High fear of negative evaluation level students used more memory and affective strategies than low fear of negative evaluation level students. The thesis concludes by bringing together the key findings and suggestive areas for further research. In sum, this research provides English language teachers and curriculum planners with ample and validated information about LLS currently used by Pakistani high school students and interaction of anxiety level on LLS use.
