پنڈت برجموہن وتاتر یہ کیفیؔ

پنڈت برجموہن دتاتریہ کیفی
ادھر کئی مہینوں سے علم و ادب کے اکابر کی موت کا ایسا سلسلہ قائم ہے کہ کوئی مہینہ ناغہ نہیں جاتا جس میں کسی نہ کسی صاحبِ علم کا ماتم نہ کرنا پڑتا ہو، ان میں سب سے بڑا حادثہ پنڈت برجموہن و تاتریہ کیفی کی وفات کا ہے، اگرچہ ان کی عمر نوے سال سے زیادہ ہوچکی تھی، مگر وہ ہماری مشترک تہذیب کی بڑی اہم یادگار تھے، اور انکی موت سے اس کا ایک بڑا ستون گرگیا، ان کی ذات میں اس تہذیب کی تمام خوبیاں اور وضعداریاں جمع تھیں، اردو زبان سے ان کو عشق تھا،اور اس کے وہ بڑے ماہر ومحقق تھے، اور اس کی باریکیوں پر ان کی بڑی گہری نظر تھی، جس پر ان کی نثر و نظم کی تصانیف شاہد ہیں، اس لیے ان کی موت ایک بڑا ادبی و تہذیبی حادثہ ہے۔
وہ نصف صدی سے زیادہ اپنے قلم و زبان سے اردو کی خدمت کرتے رہے، اور سر دو گرم کسی دور میں بھی ان کا قدم پیچھے نہ ہٹا، حتی کہ اس دور میں بھی جبکہ فرقہ پرستی نے اردو کی حمایت کو ایک قومی جرم بنادیا ہے، اور ہندووں میں جو لوگ اردو کو اپنی مادری زبان سمجھتے ہیں اور دل سے اس کے حامی ہیں، وہ بھی بہت کم اس کے اظہار کی جرأت کرسکتے ہیں، اردو کی وفاداری پر جو لوگ قائم رہ گئے ہیں، ان میں پنڈت کیفی سب سے نمایاں تھے، وہ برابر اس کے لیے سینہ سپر رہے، اور جب تک ان میں لکھنے پڑھنے اور چلنے پھرنے کی سکت باقی رہی وکالت کرتے رہے، انجمن ترقی اردو ہند کے نائب صدر تھے مگر ادھر چند سال سے ضعف پیری نے بالکل معذور کردیا تھا، ان کی پوری زندگی علمی ادبی مشاغل میں گذری اور اردو...

Assessment of Interfaith Harmony Between Muslims and Hindus in Socio-Cultural Activities in Swat

This research work investigated the interfaith harmony and social cohesion between two different religious followers of Hinduism and Islam in District Swat of Pakistan. The current world is facing various kinds of issues and challenges regarding interfaith harmony, peace and social cohesion. This is need of the time to establish a peaceful and harmonised day to day life standard for all the segments of society. This research was an effort to analyse the willingness among the Hindus and Muslims for enhancing their tolerance towards each other’s social and cultural activities. It also aimed to highlight the positive approach of the respondents towards the participation in the socio-cultural activities of each other. The results of association of social cohesion showed nonsignificant relationship with an opinion that Hindu and Muslim communities should take part in socio-cultural activities particularly the sports. Similarly, non-significant relationship was found based respondents’ data with an opinion that relations between Hindus and Muslims shall enhanced through participation in cultural and religious ceremonies.

The minorities were fully enjoying freedom and equality in District Swat. Based on the findings of the study, positive social interaction, mutual respect, positivity in thinking and positive role of local media have been recommended as policy guidelines for promoting inter-faith harmony.

Distribution and Molecualr Phylogeny of Artemisia Plants from Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

In Pakistan, currently 38 species of the genus Artemisia (Asteraceae) have been identified so far. These Artemisia species were found in different phytogeographical regions including the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. In this doctoral thesis, emphasis have been given to the ethnobotany, floral morphology, foliar epidermal anatomy (Epidermal cells/stomata types and diversity in trichomes), pollen morphology, phytogeography and molecular phylogeny of Artemisia species from Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.This study explored some rare species of the genus Artemisia and their folk medicinal uses from Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The areas with deprived documentation of traditional information were covered and the native traditional medicinal awareness of the Artemisia species was acknowledged. For the first time in this investigation, 15 Artemisia species were explored and presented in the form of plates. These ethnobotanicaly important species were, Artemisia absinthium L., Artemisia annua L., Artemisia austriaca Jacq., Artemisia biennis Willd., Artemisia campestris L., Artemisia chamaemelifolia Vill., Artemisia herba-alba Asso., Artemisia indica Willd., Artemisia maritima L. Ex Hook. F., Artemisia rutifolia sub sp., Artemisia rutifolia var., Artemisia scoparia Waldst. & Kit., Artemisia sieversiana Ehrhl. Ex Willd., Artemisia verlotiorum Lamotte., and Artemisia vulgaris L. The native people of different regions of Gilgi-Baltistan uses different parts of these Artemisia species as food, ornaments, fuel and for medicinal purposes and were employed against more than 30 different kinds of ailments. The morphology of this genus is very complex and difficult to address. This is because the same species shows different forms under certain ecological conditions. Therefore, it was a dire need to revise the morphology of Artemisia species from Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. In this study, 66 morphological characters of 20 Artemisia species were nominated for the cladistics analysis of genus Artemisia. The consequential cladogram divided genus Artemisia into five major clades. Subgenus Artemisia and subgenus Absinthium were dispersed between the clades of other sections and appeared as a polyphyletic. All the remaining sections were found to be monophyletic. Subgenus Seriphidium was grouped with Artemisia clade which authenticates its recombination with the genus Artemisia. The micro-morphological attributes of foliar epidermal cells of 19 Artemisia species and stomata types of 17 Artemisia species using SEM and LM were evaluated. Primary
