چودھری محمدعلی رودولوی

چودھری محمد علی رودولوی
افسوس ہے کہ پچھلے دنوں اردوزبان کی دوبڑی شخصیتیں بھی ہم سے جدا ہوگئی۔ ایک چودھری محمد علی رودولوی اور دوسرے عبدالمجید سالک۔
چودھری صاحب اردو کے نامور ادیب،پختہ قلم اورکہنہ مشق انشاء پرداز تھے۔ایک زمانہ میں ان کی تحریریں بڑی دلچسپی اورشوق سے پڑھی جاتی تھیں۔ زبان دانی کے ساتھ ان کی تحریر کاسب سے بڑاکمال یہ تھاکہ رکیک سے رکیک بات یا خیال کو اس اندازسے لکھتے تھے کہ ذوقِ سلیم کوگھناونی معلوم نہیں ہوتی تھی۔’’اتالیق بی بی‘‘، ’’کشکول‘‘،’’فقیر محمدعلی شاہ‘‘ان کی مشہور تصنیفات ہیں۔ ان کے علاوہ متعدد افسانے اوردوچارکتابیں بھی ان کی یادگار ہیں۔ طبعاً بڑے ہنسوڑ، زندہ دل اور شگفتہ انسان تھے۔تعلقہ دارہونے کی وجہ سے زندگی بڑے عیش وآرام میں گزری۔ آخر عمر میں خوف خداکاان پر بڑاغلبہ ہوگیا تھا، نماز توخیر پابندی سے پڑھنے ہی لگے تھے اورحج بھی کرآئے تھے مگر آخرت کے ڈر سے بے چین رہتے تھے۔ اگرچہ خاندانی طورپر امامیہ فرقہ سے تعلق رکھتے تھے لیکن تعصب ان میں نام کوبھی نہ تھا۔ اہل سنت والجماعت مسلمانوں کے ساتھ نمازانھی کے طریقے پر پڑھتے تھے۔ اس سلسلہ میں’’میرامذہب‘‘کے نام سے انھوں نے ایک کتاب بھی لکھی تھی۔خاتمہ بھی ایسا ہی اچھا ہوا۔۱۰/ستمبر کوبروزپنج شنبہ درودپڑھتے اوراﷲ کے نام کا وردکرتے کرتے جان جان آفریں کے سپرد کردی۔
الھم اغفرلہ وارحمہ۔

Can the Subalterns Sketch? A Critical Semiotic Analysis of the Novel‘ Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir’

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. ______

Organizational Change in a Public Sector Organization: A Case of Computerized Driving Licensing Authority, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The purpose of this research was to understand organizational change initiative in public sector organization. To expound the understanding, planning and initiation of public sector organizational change, a comprehensive and integrated study was required. It was also essential to undertake employee’s perspective and their descriptive experiences about the change process and the magnitude of employment of New Public Management (NPM) practices. Computerized Driving Licensing Authority (CDLA) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Traffic Police (KPTP) was selected for investigation. An exploratory study was framed in compliance to nature of the current study based on employees’ experiences, therefore, this research adopted social constructionist’s perspective with the help of narratives. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were designed and conducted on the employees of an organization at the time of change initiation. In total thirty-one interviews were conducted, including one repeat interview with project team member. Interviews were transcribed and grouped into meaningful information using narratives and thematic analysis techniques. A technology driven change was detected in CDLA with a focus on process-oriented change. The employees’ resistance and negative response towards change was ascribed to the lack of HR planning and practices. It was also found that there were several causes (including system related issues and human-related issues), components, complexities and constraints to the implementation of organizational change in CDLA. The change was brought in several phases using a stepwise approach. Moreover, gaps were identified in two successional phases of planning and implementation of change process. It was evident from the inquiry that technocrats were not welcomed in the bureaucratic system which led to hurdles at the launching phase of reform initiative for project team. In CDLA, few characteristics of NPM were objectively prevailing in vii practice, however, the study stipulated the absence of complete use and essence of NPM by public sector of KP. This research provided a comprehensive direction for future research including multiple case studies investigation, development of change model for developing countries and further exploration of change in autocratic organizations.
