غلام فرید کاٹھیا اور شاہد رضوان کے افسانے

غلام فرید کاٹھیا اور شاہد رضوان کے افسانے
( تقابلی جائزہ)
غلام فرید کاٹھیا
مہرغلام فرید کاٹھیا کا شمار دور جدید کے فکشن نگاروں میں ہوتا ہے۔ آپ اردو ادب کے ان ابھرتے ہوئے افسانہ نگاروں میں شمار ہوتے ہیں کہ جنہوں نے اپنے افسانوں کے ذریعے پسماندہ طبقے کے مسائل کی بھرپورعکاسی کی ہے۔ مہرغلام فرید کاٹھیا کے اب تک " تین"افسانوی مجموعے"لمحوں کی قید"،"سرسوں کا پھول"اور"سفید تتلیوں کا ہار" شائع ہو چکے ہیں۔مہرغلام فرید کاٹھیا نے اپنے ان تینوں افسانوی مجموعوں میں محتاجوں،غریبوں،لاچاروں، اور مظلوم عورتوں پر ہونے والے مظالم پر قلم اٹھایا ہے۔ آپ کے تمام افسانے غریبوں کے استحصال اور وڈیروں کے ہاتھوں پسماندہ طبقے سے کی جانے والی ناانصافیوں کا منہ بولتا ثبوت ہیں۔ ازل ہی سے بر سرِ اقتدار طبقے نے اپنے سے کم حیثیت لوگوں پر ظلم و جبر کے پہاڑ توڑے ہیں۔امیروں نے غریبوں کو اپنے مفادات کی غرض سے فقط استعمال ہی کیا ہے۔ لوگوں سے تھوڑی اجرت کے بدلے زیادہ مشقت کروائی جاتی رہی ہے۔ پسماندہ طبقے کی غریبی کو مذاق بنا کرحقداروں سے ان کے جائز حقوق چھینے جاتے رہے ہیں۔کارل مارکس کے نظریہ مارکسزم اور ترقی پسند تحریک سے وابستہ افسانہ نگاروں نے جب غریبوں پر ہونے والے جبر و زیادتی کومحسوس کیا تو ان افسانہ نگاروں نے معاشرے کی اصلاح کے لئے غریبوں کے حق میں آواز بلند کرنا شروع کر دی۔ مزدوروں،کسانوں اور غریبوں کو کم اجرت دینے،غریبوں کے غریب تر اور سرمایہ داروں کے امیر تر بنتے جانے کے خلاف جن مصنفین نے اپنی تحریروں میں پسماندہ طبقے کی مشکلات کے حل کے لیے قلم اٹھایا ان میں پریم چند، سعادت حسن منٹو،احمد ندیم قاسمی،عصمت چغتائی،راجندر سنگھ بیدی،اختر حسین رائے پوری وغیرہ شامل ہیں۔
جس طرح ماضی میں دیگر مصنفین و افسانہ نگاروں نے غریبوں کے حق کے لئے قلمی جہاد...

The Role of Values in Social Change: An Analysis from The Qur’ānic Perspective

In the post-industrial revolution world, social change is often studied and understood in the context of change in means of production, mobility, urbanization and change in the constitution of workforce. Role of ethical values is generally confined to personal conduct and manners. Industrial society is supposed to have its own work ethics which may or may not agree with personal ethics and morality. Ethics and morality are generally considered, in the Western thought, as a social construct. Therefore, with the change in means of production or political system, values and morality are also expected to be re-adjusted in order to cope with the changed environment. Sometimes a totally new set of values emerges as a consequence of the change in economic, political, or legal set up. The present research tries to understand the meaning and place of these values in a global socio-cultural framework. Relying essentially on the divine principles of the Qur'ān it makes an effort to understand relevance of these universal and ultimate principles with human conduct and behavior in society.  It indicates that essentially it is the core values, principles, or norms which guide human beings in their interpersonal, social, economic and political matters. Islam being a major civilizing force, culture, and the way of life, provides values which guide both in individual and social matters. The values given by the Qur’ān and the Sunnah are not monopoly of the Muslim. These values are universal and are relevant in a technological society.

Exploring the Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in Chickpea Cultivated Germplasm & Genetic Basis of Flower Color Polymorphism in Chickpea Cicer Arietinum L.

Assessment of genetic diversity and genetic framework/structure in chickpea crop has important effects on plants breeding programs and preservation of inherited resources. New types of markers have improved our ability to quickly and cost effectively uncover potentially useful variations in large chickpea germplasm collections in gene banks. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) are recently developed markers, which are very effective in discovering inherited diversity. Little is known about the level of genetic diversity in these accessions to advance elite varieties. Chickpea production is predominant in arid & semiarid regions, such as in Pakistan, faces immense challenges of drought and heat stress. Addressing these challenges has made more difficult outstanding to lack of genetic and phenotypic characterization of available cultivated varieties and breeding materials. Genotyping-by-sequencing offers a rapid and cost-effective means to identify genome-wide nucleotide variation in crop germplasm.In this study, we have compared genetic variations and population structure of a previously uncharacterized collection of chickpea cultivated germplasm. Here, we used 31,995 SNP markers to estimate the genetic diversity and population structure in collection of 952 landraces and elite cultivars from the second centers of diversity and Fertile Crescent (Ethiopia, India, Pakistan & Turkey). For Pakistani accessions, we used 8,113 SNP markers to determine genetic variations and compare population structure within 77 landraces and 5 elite cultivars, currently grown in situ on farms throughout the chickpea growing regions of Pakistan. The compiled landraces span a striking aridity gradient into the Thal desert of the Punjab Province, Pakistan. Despite low levels of variations across the collection and limited genetic structure, we found some differentiation among accessions from arid, semi-arid, irrigated, and coastal areas. In a subset of 232 markers, we discovered evidence of differentiation along gradients of elevation and isothermality. Our results highlighted the utility of exploring large germplasm collections for nucleotide variation associated with environmental extremes. And further to use this data to nominate germplasm accessions with potential to improve crop drought tolerance and other environmental traits.To investigate the basis of genetic factors controlling flower color in chickpea, molecular and genetic characterization of colored flower and white flower chickpea accessions were performed. This unique white flowered color RS11 Chickpea accession lacking the anthocyanin in flower tissues. The genetic constitution of this accession is different to other white flower chickpea accessions because when it was crossed to another white flower color accession, they produced colored F1. None of white flower chickpea can synthesize mRNA corresponding to Leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase (LDOX) gene, also called anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) on B and C locus. Molecular analysis of white chickpea revealed the presence of full deletion Intron, spanning both exon with in coding region of LDOX gene. Phenotyping and genotyping of F2 generations from cross between RS 11 (white flower) and 96029 (color flower) revealed segregation for flower color according to the Mendel’s pattern of segregation. Color and white flower phenotype demonstrated its complete linkage with the deletion in LDOX gene inherited as a recessive gene trait. Taken together the findings indicated that mutation in LDOX genes which is present on C locus here in RS 11 is responsible for white flower color in this chickpea accession.
