Hindianizing Heidi: Working children in Abdul Rashid Kardar's Do Phool
No full textThis article addresses Do Phool (1958), Abdul Rashid Kardar's film adaptation of Johanna Spyri's classic children's novel Heidi (1880). Kadar's film reconfigures Spyri's vision of the Romantic child within the idiom of popular Hindi cinema - with its particular performance traditions and mythological allusions - in order to project an ideological image of the newly independent State. The film therefore exemplifies what Tejaswini Ganti has called (H)Indianization. Attending closely to the work of the child actors presented in the film can reveal the ideological and allegorical use of childhood in 1950s Hindi cinema, as well as the uneven development of childhood as a universal category. © 2011 The Author
Studi Komparatif Pemikiran Filsafat Politik Ali Abdul Raziq dan Rashid Rida mengenai Khilafah
No full textThis article aims to explain the comparison of political philosophy thoughts, especially regarding the caliphate of two Muslim intellectual figures from Egypt who lived in the same period. Ali Abdul Raziq and Rashid Rida, these two figures talked about the formulation of the ideal state form for Muslims and the implementation of Islamic government. The author writes down the arguments of the two figures and then compares them with the formulations of the two. Khilafah which is a system of government that follows the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad, sharia as the legal basis and Islam as an ideology in running the government. This type of research is library research by applying the comparative method, which prioritizes library materials as the main source. The results of the research from the two Muslim intellectual works from Ali Abdul Raziq\u27s book entitled al-Islam wa Usul al-Hukm and the book Al-Khilafah wa Al-Imamah written by Rashid Rido, show that there are very basic differences in the thoughts of the two figures, where Rashid Rida firmly held the position that followers of Islam are required to uphold the caliphate in their country based on sharia and ijma. On the other hand, Ali Abdul Raziq argues that there is no binding obligation for Muslims to establish a caliphate in their country, he argues that Muslims are free to choose what ideology will be applied in a country. Because in the Qur\u27an and as-Sunnah do not regulate the form of state that Muslims must apply. The thought of Islamic political philosophy, of course, does not only come from these two figures, many Muslim intellectuals argue that this matter needs to be explored for the benefit of Muslims in terms of the state.Â
Pakistan: Breaking out of stagflation into sustained growth
No full textThis paper proposes that the underlying cause of the macroeconomic problems facing Pakistan today are a series of supply shocks which have constrained output growth. It is argued that while the current debate has solely focused on government expenditures and revenues, it is critical to also address the acute energy shortages which is constraining supply. The paper goes on to present four recommendations for breaking out of the present stagflation: (i) prudent macroeconomic management, (ii) reviving the role of the government in development while restoring fiscal balance, (iii) loosening monetary policy in order to spur the private sector, and (iv) improving social safety nets.Economic Growth, Supply Shock, Pakistan

Strategic Reforms for Accelerated Agricultural Growth in Pakistan
No full textAgricultural growth rates in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s show that strong growth during the 1960s was driven by several factors, including greater certainty in the use of irrigation water (as a result of an agreement with India), the introduction of productivityenhancing fertiliser-seed packages, the introduction of tubewells and the electrification of rural areas, and policy changes that improved the profitability of farming. Growth during the 1970s dropped to 2.3 percent as a result of the uncertainty created by land reforms in 1972 and 1977, severe climatic shocks, a cotton virus that depressed production for most of the decade, and political instability. The recovery in the 1980s and early 1990s can be attributed to the introduction of new cotton varieties and improved management techniques, as well as to a gradual improvement in economic incentives. Closer inspection of the nature and sources of this growth raises concerns about its sustainability and casts doubt on the ability of the sector to grow by more than 3–4 percent a year in the future. Many of the past sources of agricultural growth in Pakistan appear to have been fully exploited. Strategy for the future must effectively address the followings. Allowing the market to Operate, policy reforms that support the ongoing structural adjustment should be given top priority. To address the crisis in irrigation management market-determined incentives must be allowed to determine resource allocation within the irrigation system. Reform in extension should include establishing closer links with research institutions and reducing the number of front-line extension workers and replacing them with fewer, bettertrained workers who are more responsive to the needs of farming systems. Full-fledged land reform is difficult to enact and can be considered only after a comprehensive study of costs and benefits. Some important measures can be implemented immediately, however. Foremost is providing security of tenure to many farmers, especially tenants-at-will, thereby improving responsiveness to incentives and creating better incentives for long-term investments.
Varieties of Islamisation: varying contexts and changing strategies. By Abdul Rashid Moten. United Kingdom: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2023, pp. 190
No full textAbdul Rashid Moten's latest work, "Varieties of Islamization: Varying Contexts and Changing Strategies," is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate on the Islamization of the knowledge (IOK) movement. The IOK has evolved significantly over the past four decades and has encountered many global changes, resulting in its rebranding under various names, such as integration, de-secularization, dewesternization, and de-colonization. However, there is confusion about whether these terms refer to the same project or correspond to different projects with
mutually exclusive directions and premises. In addressing these issues, Rashid Moten's work
provides a framework that helps readers understand the genesis and later developments and
directions of the Islamization movement. As a veteran of the Islamization movement, the author
makes it clear that these different brand names are not meaningless and are instead significant. He
believes that these different terms sometimes reflect methodological and, at other times, strategic
shifts of the IOK discourse. For Rasheed Moten, the evolution of IOK movement symbolizes it’s
adaptability and dynamism. To elaborate this point further, the author has structured the book's
nine chapters in a way that guides readers in tracing the subtle intellectual moves within the lager
Islamization movement over the past few decades
Synergising rural change based on modern rural approach: Formulation of a modern Malaysian rural development framework / Mohd Fadzil Abdul Rashid ... [et al.]
No full textThe Malaysian government aims to transform rural areas into economic focal points, improve rural livelihoods, living environment and narrow the life quality gaps between those living in urban and rural areas. This aspiration can be seen through a translation in many national development policies, particularly in Dasar Perancangan Fizikal Desa Negara (the DPF Desa Negara 2030), Dasar Pembangunan Luar Bandar (the DPLB 2030) and the most current is Wawasan Kemakmuran Bersama (the WKB 2030). Inspired by the government directive-aspirations and the emergence of new technologies in rural practices, nationally and globally, this paper discusses the formulation of a framework for rural development in Malaysia based on the modern rural approach; that is a solution to synergise rural change and social well-being of the community. The process undertakes to formulate the framework comprised into two main stages, namely focused literature study and review of the existing policies and strategies to identify the key assessment elements and criteria for modern rural development, and conduct an expert view survey to validate the developed elements and criteria and then formulate a modern Malaysian rural development framework (FMRD). The FMRD has finally been formulated by incorporating all the important elements and criteria of the DPF Desa Negara 2030 and the DPLB 2030 as well as integrating them with the smart technologies and ICT practices to reflect a holistic approach for rural problems. This paper concludes that the FMRD is a timely approach for the rural assessment to maximise the rural performance towards the future niches in Malaysia - rural sustainability-resilient-and-smart

Redefining Khabar Al-Ahad Based on Rashid Rida’s Rational Approach in Al-Manar
No full textThis paper discusses the Rida controversy with hadith scholars. The controversy stems from Rida’s a priori to the traditions that are popular and well-known among hadith scholars, especially the category of khabar al-ahad hadith. The root of their problem lies in Rida’s rational critique of the categories and implications of khabar al-ahad. He considers dilalah (connotation) of khabar al-ahad to be nothing more than just zanni al-dilalah (presumption and uncertainty). The implication is that hadith in this category cannot be used as a basis for belief because belief is based on qat’i al-dilalah (certainty of proposition). The research method used was descriptive-analytic method. This method was combined with a historical-philosophical approach. Therefore, analyzing and describing Rida’s thoughts as a whole is the main work in this article. The next step was to combine the analytical-philosophical approach to the roadmap from the genuine part of Rida’s line of thought. This activity is expected to help the author in finding answers on how Rida rationalizes khabar al-ahad and its implications. Finally, this article finds the conclusions, including: a) Rida’s efforts in rationalizing khabar al-ahad are based on the views of the mutakallimūn (theologians), manat}iqah (logic experts) and falasifah (philosophers), b) Rida has been trapped in his own over a priori thinking on khabar al-ahad, c) Rashid Rida’s rationalization of khabar al-ahad actually leads to ambiguity and uncertainty
