مولوی احتشام علی ندوی
افسوس ہے کہ ۲۰؍ رمضان المبارک کو مولوی احتشام علی ندوی اچانک چل بسے، ان کی تعلیم دارالعلوم ندوۃ العلماء میں ہوئی، وہ مولانا عبدالسلام قدوائی ندوی مرحوم کے چہیتے شاگردوں میں تھے، انہی کے ایما سے جامعہ ملیہ میں داخلہ لیا، مولانا عبدالسلام صاحب نے لکھنؤ میں ادارۂ تعلیمات اسلام کی داغ بیل ڈالی تو اس کی تشکیل میں یہ بھی ان کے معاون رہے اور ان کی نگرانی میں صحابہ کرام کے حالات میں مختصر اور عام فہم بعض کتابچے لکھے۔
دارالمصنفین سے ان کا تعلق دو بار رہا، پہلی دفعہ وہ مولانا عبدالسلام قدوائی کے ساتھ آئے اور محاسب کی ذمہ داری سنبھالی، ان کے انتقال کے بعد انہوں نے بھی یہاں سے تعلق منقطع کرلیا، تاہم دارالمصنفین سے ان کے لگاؤ میں کمی نہیں آئی جناب سید صباح الدین صاحب مرحوم کے انتقال کے بعد پھر وہ دارالمصنفین تشریف لائے اور پریس کی نگرانی اور دوسرے انتظامی امور ان کو سپرد کئے گئے لیکن اس دفعہ ان کی صحت خراب رہنے لگی۔ دو تین برس سے کمزوری بہت بڑھ گئی تھی اور ضعف بصر کی شکایت بھی ہوگئی تھی۔ ان کا انتقال دارالمصنفین ہی میں ہوا، مگر تدفین ان کے وطن رحیم آباد میں ہوئی۔ اﷲ تعالیٰ درجات بلند کرے اور اہلیہ و اعزہ کو صبرِ جمیل عطا کرے آمین!

This paper is formulated under the conceptual framework of Gayatri spivak’s theory of Can Subaltern Speak? And explores the potential permeability of visual resources as a form of discourse through which subalterns found opportunity to counter media hegemony and make their voices heard. In order to analyze the selected graphic novel Munnu: A Boy From Kashmir (2015) the present qualitative study applies Grunter Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen’s model of visual design (2010) that connects the representational meaning to the interactive one. The analyst reflected upon how the interplay of visuals images and words together displayed the theme of Kashmir’s subjugation as well as how this genre has proved supportive to author to counter the said hegemony. Hence, the study found consent, political domination and media control as the broad elements that can be seen in the novel and also the study concludes that counter hegemony is possible through such literary genres, as the novel’s narrator has communicated those aspects of hegemonic situation in Kashmir to a large audience through literary discourse of graphic novel genre that are chiefly absent from mainstream media’s treatments of the Kashmir’s conflict. ______
This study was conducted to critically analyze the development of female education at Secondary School level in the pro\''cnance of Sindh from 1947 to 1990. The parameters of development used for analysis are increase in the number of schools, enrollment of students, number of trained teachers, availability of in service training for teachers, physical condition of school buildings, provision of science laboratories and equipment, availability of libraries and books, provision of vocational and technical education. conveyance facilities, residential facilities for oul orma students, and provision for co-curricular activities. Survey research method was used in the study 10 collect data, get information and critical views and opinions from a sample of Teachers, Students and District Education Officers of all the 19 districts of the province of Sindh. The tools of the survey rescarch used were open and closc ended questionnaires, interviews, factual infonnation obtained from the official documents of the Directorate of education, and personal visits to the schools by the researcher. The findings of the research study show, that there were only 5 secondary schools for girls in the province in 1947. This number increased to 366 in 1990, out of these 304 are in urban areas as compared to only 62 in rural areas. The number of girl students in these school in 1990 was 11392 in rural schools and 187036 in urban areas. The study also points to the fact that there is a provision of one trained teacher for an average of 26 students. This presents an encouraging picture. However there are more trained teachers working in urban area schools than in rural areas secondary schools. Majority of the teachers agreed that due to the de\"elopmental disparities between rural and urban areas in the province they arc not willing to work in rural area schools some of which even lack medical facilities, clear water and means of transportation. Majority of the schools working in rural areas do nOI offer science and Agro-technicai subjects making it impossible for the female students of these localities to avail of the facilities. This research study confirms that the tradition of having only literacy oriented type general education imparting secondary schools and administrator structural system has been so strong thaI nol much could be achieved from the reforms and invocations introduced by the government from time to time. Much of the schemes failed becausc they could not be implemented in true sense due to the unwillingness of Ihe administrators or lack of enthusiasm on the part of teachers, parents, or member local community. As such the targets for quantitative and qualitative development of female secondary education from 1947 to 1990 could not be achieved in full.
