Ngo’s and Community Empowerment: A Case Study of Ismaili Community in the Northern Areas of Pakistan
Get PDFA government is responsible for the welfare of its citizens, its legitimacy drawn on the basis of services it provides. But not so in Pakistan, where social services are neither disciplined nor organized. Our society is plagued by countless social evils but the governments have not taken appropriate and effective measures to root out these evils. There is no government response, at any level, to citizens’ basic needs. Therefore, human poverty is becoming a major obstacle in attaining a decent standard of living and for enjoying the fruits of real freedom. Being the most vulnerable segment of society, the poor are always the first ones to be harmed and the last ones to be heard. Poverty in Pakistan had been challenged little since independence and the indifference practised by those in high authority has left little room for manoeuver among non-governmental organizations and self-help groups. In a resourceful country like Pakistan, loopholes in the state structure are the result of discord or failure of the nation in measuring up to the expectations of the poor masses. However, a few non governmental organizations have rendered a yeoman service to the down trodden people. Representative community-based organizations and self-help groups of the Ismaili or AghaKhani Community are such examples. These faith-based, voluntary and philanthropic groups have directly influenced over the social and economic day-to-day life of the people of the Northern areas of Pakistan. The main object of this study is to focus the community-based development activities of AghaKhan network in the social sector by highlighting untiring efforts of the Ismaili community for the uplift of their area on a self-help basis

History of Multan: Some Reflections
Get PDFThat Multan is one of the oldest habitations of human beings upon the earth, and that throughout the centuries it has held a place of great geographical, historical and cultural importance, is a view unanimously held by the majority of old and modern historians. It can well be said that its history never started, for it existed even before the dawn of history. All archaeological studies and excavations in modern times have proved its antiquity beyond doubt. It is said to have been a contemporary of Harrappa and Moen-Jo-dero. It seems quite likely that even in prehistoric times, Multan was the light and glory of what is called Indus Valley Civilization. In recent past it has sufficiently been proved that Indus Valley Civilization had no foreign origins; it rather sprouted from the soil itself. This articles presents some reflections of the ancient history of Multan

Growth and Development of the Muslim Press in the Sub-Continent
Get PDFHistory of the journalism in the Sub-continent (Indo-Pak) goes back to the 11th century with Waqa-I-Navees (Newsmen) during the regime of Mahmood Ghaznavi. Waqa-I-Navees were appointed to keep the government well informed about all important happenings. Though, Sultans of Delhi were the first to establish the system on sound basis, yet it were the Mughals, who really worked hard to make it flourish.

On the other hand the Muslims remained only followers to establish their press. Some Muslim Newspapers were pro Hindu. Thus there were a few Muslim newspapers that really represented the Indian Muslim’s point of view. This paper will examine the efforts of the Muslims to establish their own Urdu / English press.
