EXAMINING THE ROLE OF HAJI MUHAMMAD MOHSIN IN THE SOCIOECONOMIC LANDSCAPE OF 18TH CENTURY COLONIAL BENGAL: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS
No full textABSTRACT : 18th Century Bengal witnessed the stage from prosperity to decline , as per the statement of prominent historian Sushil Roy . This period saw the socio – economic condition of the people of Bengal under Mughal puppet emperors, next by independent Nawabs and later on by the colonial East India Company and in this socio-economic background the emergence of a great philanthropist Haji Muhammad Mohsin. In this paper the role of all these ruling classes including the role of colonial British East India Company in spreading Education and philanthropy has also been discussed critically. The role of Haji Muhammad Mohsin in this regard is highlighted and a comparative study of the Indigenous and colonial ruling class in case of spreading Education has been discussed. Attempts are also taken to find out the fact whether Haji Muhammad Mohsin was supported by the Colonial ruling class or interrupted by them in case of his continuing philanthropic activities. Apart from this , the role of contemporary wealthy persons and the role played by Haji Muhammad Mohsin’s regarding philanthropy has been discussed here. Haji Muhammad Mohsin longed for spreading Anglo – Persian Education . Secular characteristics of Haji Muhammad Mohsin and his contribution regarding the promotion of Education has been highlighted here.THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

Human Capital and Economic Growth in Pakistan
Get PDFPakistan’s economy has grown faster on average than many other low- and middleincome countries over the past two decades. But several countries in Southeast Asia have fared even better. This paper focuses on factors that explain Pakistan’s relative growth performance. In addition to more traditional factors believed to determine growth, this paper looks particularly at the role of differences in the quality of human capital. The cross-country empirical results suggest that accumulation of physical capital and improvements in the quality of institutions have the largest pay-offs in terms of achieving higher growth, but that better education and health care also have a significant impact. Investment in these areas will increase the possibility of Pakistan entering a virtuous cycle of high growth and improved living conditions for the population.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist de Mohsin Hamid. Un récit de radicalisation ?
Get PDFThe 9/11 attacks in 2001 resulted in significant geopolitical, social, legal, and political consequences, primarily within the United States; however, they also sparked literary responses. This article examines how Mohsin Hamid explores the theme of ideological radicalization in his novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007). It analyzes how the author manipulates conventional discourses and representations of terrorism and radicalization to ensnare the reader, presenting them with a mirror of their own radicality. The conclusion raises questions about what would constitute the specifically literary radicality of a novel, drawing on a proposition by Justine Huppe.Los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 tuvieron importantes consecuencias geopolíticas, sociales, jurídicas y políticas, principalmente en Estados Unidos, pero también provocaron reacciones literarias. En este artículo presentamos e interrogamos el modo en que Mohsin Hamid juega con el tema de la radicalización ideológica en su novela The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007). Analizaremos cómo el autor utiliza el discurso y las representaciones convencionales del terrorismo y la radicalización para atrapar al lector y sostener un espejo ante su propio radicalismo. Siguiendo el trabajo de Justine Huppe, la conclusión del articulo propone algunas interrogaciones con respecto a eso que se podría identificar como una radicalidad específicamente literaria en la novela.Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 ont eu des conséquences géopolitique, sociale, juridique et politique importantes, en premier lieu aux États-Unis ; mais ils ont aussi suscité des réactions littéraires. Cet article constitue une vignette qui présente et interroge la façon dont Mohsin Hamid joue avec le thème de la radicalisation idéologique dans son roman The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007). On y analysera comment l’auteur travaille des discours et des représentations convenues du terrorisme et de la radicalisation afin de piéger le lecteur, et lui présenter un miroir de sa propre radicalité. La conclusion ouvre un questionnement sur ce qui constituerait la radicalité spécifiquement littéraire d’un roman, à partir d’une proposition de Justine Huppe
Repetitive current control of two-level and interleaved three-phase PWM utility connected converters
No full textThis thesis is mainly concerned with investigations into digital repetitive current controlof two-level and interleaved utility connected PWM converters. The research ismotivated by the relatively poor performance of classical (PI) controllers when theutility voltage harmonic distortion is high. This is due to the low gain, and poordisturbance rejection of the PI controller at the utility harmonic frequencies. Repetitivefeedback controllers have the ability to track or reject periodic disturbances, such asutility harmonics, as they naturally have high gains at the utility voltage harmonicfrequencies, assuming that these frequencies do not change.Repetitive controllers (RC) are known for being sensitive to variations in systemparameters and disturbance frequency, which in practice renders them either ineffectiveor unstable. Another challenge arises from the memory requirements of RC in case ofthe absence of even harmonics, which can make its practical implementation difficultand expensive. In addition, another problem that has not been investigated extensivelyin the literature is that the effectiveness of RC is severely limited by the limitedbandwidth of the plant (the utility connected converter and its filter). Theoreticalanalysis and simulation results presented in this thesis show that RC could noteffectively reject disturbances at frequencies above the closed loop system bandwidth.The design of the converter's output filter bandwidth and the values of its componentsneed to be selected carefully, to enable RC to be used effectively.The research in this thesis focuses on investigating the practical implementation andperformance limits of two types of repetitive controllers (conventional and oddharmonics),used for current control of two-level utility connected converter with LCLoutput filter. The odd-harmonic repetitive controller halves the memory requirementand offers higher gains only at odd harmonic frequencies of interest. The overall controlscheme consists of the traditional classical tracking controller with a dual loop feedbacksystem and RC. The results indicate that the repetitive controller improves the steadystate error and the total harmonic distortion of the output current, provided that theplant's bandwidth is sufficiently large.Finally, a repetitive controller for an interleaved utility connected converter has beendesigned and investigated in this study. The interleaved converter system has higherbandwidth than the two-level converter, which improves the effectiveness of RC. Itprovides good disturbance rejection compared to classical controllers which results inlow output current THD. The RC was demonstrated to be robust despite uncertainty inutility impedance, while achieving a fast almost zero error convergence. The proposedRC has been experimentally implemented using a DSP and the results indicate that thequality of output current complies with international standards on harmonic limits andmatches simulation results obtained from the Matlab/Simulink model of the system
Comparative analysis of Dr. Mohsin Khan and Maulawi Sher Ali's translation of surah Adh Dhuha and Ash Sharh
Get PDFBeing a Quran translator is not an easy activity, because Al Quran has a very beautiful language with high literature. Of course translating the Qur'an has a different level of difficulty with translating other texts. Both Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali have translated the Qur'an very well, so it is easy to be understood by the reader from a word. This is because both translators translate the Qur'an accurately and can answer the problems of life with the point of view of the Quran. Described in plain language and not complicated. The main problem in this research is the differences and similarities of semantic aspects that influence the translation of the work of Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali. The results of this study indicate that the lexical semantic translation style that influences the difference and its perspectives is in terms of its purpose. In translating the Qur'an, Dr. Mohsin Khan and MaulawiSher Ali are not only influenced by linguistic factors, but are also influenced by extralinguistics factors such as circumstances when translating and the science background of both translators in translating the Qur'an. In translating the Qur’an verses, Dr. Mohsin Khan is simple. This can be seen in his translation work. The first interpretation is done by giving the meaning of the verses of the Qur'an, then giving a global interpretation, without beginning with the explanation of the meaning of the word. By not adding many notes in his commentary, as if Dr. Mohsin Khan wants to invite readers to focus on dialogue with god. While MaulawiSher Ali in translating Quran verse many provide footnotes or other translation options. With the explanation, the author has the opinion that what is done by MaulawiSher Ali is to clarify and facilitate the reader in understanding the meaning of the verses of Quran
A SURREALIST READING OF MOHSIN HAMID'S EXIT WEST
Get PDFThe study aims at exploring the surrealist elements in Mohsin Hamid's novel Exit West. It analyzes the motifs and a technique employed by Hamid, and discusses how they contribute to the overall themes of displacement, migration, and identity in the novel. The study also examines how Hamid uses surrealist imagery, dream-like sequences, and unconventional perspectives to depict the characters' experiences of dislocation and otherness. The knowledge of the elements of surrealism will add depth and nuance to the novel's exploration of complex and timely issues. Using a close reading approach to the selected passages, the paper evaluates the ways in which the author employs surrealist techniques to challenge conventional notions of time, space, and reality, and to convey the experiences of displacement, migration, and the erosion of identity. Through the knowledge of surrealism in the context of the novel, the readers can gain a greater understanding of the power of the imagination to shape their understanding of the world and human experience
THE EAST AND WEST TRUST DEFICIT IN MOHSIN HAMID’S THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST
Get PDFAfter fourteen years of the September 11 attacks, the international political landscape is still occupied with suspicion, confrontation and distrust. This study intends to explore the trust deficit between east and west as depicted by Mohsin Hamid in his novel The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid, and examine how far and how successfully he has portrayed the impact of 9/11 events on the Americans and the Muslims. By comparing the silent American (West) with Changez (East), Hamid has brilliantly discussed the relations between East and West. By revealing the conflicting viewpoints of the Americans and that of the Muslims, Hamid describes how East and West are similar or different in terms of the ideological meanings and sociopolitical situation. In order to make the comparison, I intend to apply the theoretical apparatus of Jean Baudrillard and investigate the extent to which Mohsin Hamid has portrayed the conflict between East and West in his novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Since the research method is qualitative, the most appropriate method is the Critical Discourse Analysis model by Fairclough. In addition to East and West rift, the author also throws light on the political milieu after September 11attacks, including Pakistan-India issue and Afghanistan war as illustrated in the novel. This study, conducted as literary research, concludes that how successfully Hamid attempts to bridge the gap between east and west when he portrays them walking together in the same direction without any violation. However in the current political milieu the clash is between East and East when ISIS and the Taliban from East are attacking the eastern countries on a larger scale
General banking operation of Mercantile Bank Limited (MBL), Suaganj bazar branch,Comilla
Get PDFThis internship report is submitted in a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration, 2016.Cataloged from PDF version of Internship report.Includes bibliographical references (page 53).Banking sector is the one of the stable financial institution of a country. Mercantile Bank Limited has upgrading their position and services and gaining a better position today and they are trying to be the most leading private commercial bank in Bangladesh and most leading financial institution in the banking sector. The date of this bank incorporated was MAY 20th, 1999. It started its operation on JUNE 2nd, 1999. In this report I made some a small brief about the condition of “General Banking Activities of Mercantile Bank Ltd. (Suaganj Bazar Branch)”. Commercial banks are the primary contributors to the economy of a country and so I can say that commercial bank is a profit making institution that holds the deposits of individuals & business checking & savings accounts and then uses these funds to make loans and for that reason people and the government is very much dependable on these banks as financial intermediary. As the banks are profit-earnings concern, they collect deposit at the lowest possible cost and provide loans and advances at highest cost. The differences between two are the profit for the bank.
The general banking department does the most important and basic works of the bank. All other departments are linked with this department. It also pays a vital role in deposit mobilization of the branch. MBL provides different types of accounts, locker service and special types of saving scheme under general banking. At the end I have tried to show some suggestion for the promotion and betterment of the bank.Md. Mohsin AlamM. Business Administratio
Prospects & problems of women entrepreneurs: a study of Dhaka City
Get PDFThis dissertation is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Development Studies, 2008.Cataloged from PDF version of dissertation.Includes bibliographical references (page 42 - 43).The study was conducted to have an overview of the existing condition of women entrepreneurs in Dhaka city in line with their problems and prospects. It was also conducted to come up with recommendations and suggestions to address existing problems to promote a gender-friendly business environment. The analysis was based on primary data collected through personal interviews spread over a period of six months. Number of total sample is (84) eighty four. Samples were taken from 15 Thanas of Dhaka city. A set of questionnaire was prepared to conduct the field survey. The questionnaire consisted of 6 sections: both closed and open-ended questions were included.
Women entrepreneurship in Bangladesh is more than just income generation. It is about working to build a more prosperous country, to lift the many millions of Bangladesh people out of poverty. It is about achieving economic independence and women’s empowerment. And it is about striving for emancipation of women's gender roles, to create a better future for generations of women to come. The study finds that women are engaged in different types of enterprises. Most of the cases show that women entrepreneurs selected their enterprises with what they were familiar. The study clearly indicates that lack of capital is still the main problem. The other major problems include absence of marketing facilities and proper sales centers. Another common barrier faced by the women entrepreneurs is balancing time between the enterprise and the family. Others constants are machinery, equipment, technology and power supply.
This study conveys the message that if the women are provided with appropriate training and need-based financial and related assistance, they will enter into the entrepreneurial occupation in a large number and will prove their worth to contribute to the economy of Bangladesh.
Both the government organizations and private sector have a major responsibility to promote entrepreneurship development for women. Without their interventions the advancement of women and women entrepreneurship cannot be achieved.Md. Mohsin Uddin SiddiqueM. Development Studie
