			<description>The Question of Identity: Who are we?



Col. (R) Bakhtiar Hakeem



 



Who are you?  What an innocent looking simple question.



If you ask this question to twenty different people around you, you will get twelve to fifteen different answers. Most will give their names, some their caste like Cheema, Bhatti, Khokar, some their clams like Mir, Mian, Afridi, some their geographical areas like Kashmiri, Amritsari, Okarwi. Some would be proud to give their sects and one odd may say Pakistani  ...</description>

			<description>She is a Woman Impure - by Fahmida Riaz





She is a woman impure

Trapped in the cycle of blood

In the chain of years and months

Burning in the fire of lust

Seeking her pleasures

Mistress of the devil

Following his ways

Towards that elusive goal

Which has no route

That meeting of light and fire

Which is so hard to find.

Boiling blood inside her veins

Has torn her breasts,

The thorns on her way

Have severed her womb,

On her body’s shame

There is no shade of  ...</description>

			<description>Before discussing the Students’ Unions in Educational Institutions, I would like to ask all the Political Parties to conduct Elections through secret ballots in their own parties from the village level to that of the country. Then pick those elected persons for the nomination to the Union, Town, Tehsil, District, Provincial and National levels posts. A person who is elected person of a Political Party in a village should be a candidate for the post of a Nazim in the local Government elections.

Professor Dr. Ahmad Hasan Dani 





Pakistan, the Indus land, is the child of the Indus in the same way as Egypt is the gift of Nile. The Indus has provided unity, fertility, communication, direction and the entire landscape to the country. Its location marks it as a great divide as well as a link between central Asia and south Asia. But the historical movements of the people from Central Asia and South Asia have given to it a character of its  ...</description>

Those passing through their 6th &amp; 7th decades should remember the prevalent literary scene in Urdu &amp; Punabi literature at the dawn of independence on August, 1947. Initially the nation was passing through the trauma of partition, dividing families on the basis of religious beliefs; ultimately resulting in geographic division &amp; rehabilittion in alien regions &amp; culture.

INVOCATION TO THE PERFECT MAN



Editor's Note: Sometimes we come across a piece of our heritage which provides a glimpse into our glorious past. One such heirloom is this dazzling and transcendental poem of the Great Poet of the East, Allama Iqbal.   I hope Maryam Mehboob, our PTT Member, would not mind if we share it with other Pakistanis and our wider global audience. This heirloom was given to her by her mother, it belonged to her  ...</description>

			<description>Urdu and Pakistani Identity and Integrity







Before the midnight birth of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 15th August 1947, Muslims in the Indian subcontinent did their best to preserve their separate Muslim identify through various means.

			<description>Iqbal: A bridge between East and the West

By Saeed A. Durrani, School of Physics &amp; Astronomy, University of Birmingham, England





 



In speaking on the above theme, one cannot do better than to start by quoting one of Iqbal’s own couplets. 





“The dervish imbued with the spirit of God is neither of the East nor of the West.

My home is neither Delhi, nor Isfahan, nor yet Samarkand.” Baal-i-Jibril (Gabriel’s Wing), p.357* 





One is also put in mind of Iqbal’s inscription  ...</description>

Habib Jalib's Poem

Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya?

Roti, kapda aur dawa

Ghar rehne ko chhota sa

Muft mujhe talim dila

Mein bhi Musalmaan hoon wallah

Pakistan ka matlab kya

La Ilaha Illalah…

Amrika se mang na bhik

Mat kar logon ki tazhik

Rok na janhoori tehrik

Chhod na azadi ki rah

Pakistan ka matlab hai kya

La Ilaha Illalah…

Khet waderon se le lo

Milen luteron se le lo

Mulk andheron se le lo

Rahe na koi Alijah
