Tombstones of Fallen Heroes
Full text linkThis paper is based on fieldwork which I carried out in Sindh, Pakistan, from December 2007 to February 2008. The main objective of the study was to document and delineate two graveyards and their contents which are located in two different districts of Sindh, one in Thatta and the other in Tando Muhammad Khan. After discussing the origin of the term ‘chaukhandi’ as applied to a type of tombs present in the area I present the two graveyards, discussing the meanings of motifs that decorate the tombstones in both places. I also discuss the role of the tribes associated with these graveyards in the tribal history of Sindh and the battles in which they displayed their heroism.Chaukhandi, Sindh, tombstone decoration, tribal history
Religious harmony in India’s post-independence phase: a comparative study of the approach of Abul Hasan Ali Nadawi and Wahiduddin Khan
Full text linkIn post-independent India, most of the Muslim intellectuals, scholars and organizations urged people to establish religious harmony in the country. However, Abū al-Hasan Ali Nadwi (1914-1999) and Waḥiduddin Khan (b.1925) emerged as the most influential Muslim scholars as they played a significant role in establishing religious harmony in the country. This research uses analytical and comparative methods to explain the approach of Nadwi and Khan concerning religious harmony. It critically investigates their approaches to determine the validity and relevance of their thoughts in contemporary India. The study found that Nadwi considers Muslims as significant contributors to Indian civilization and culture. Nadwi‟s suggestions do not only restore the courage among Muslims in India but imbue the essence of love, humanitarianism, peace and co-operation among all Indians. On the other hand, Khan‟s ideas are passive, unilateral and apologetic, and he considers Muslims as the cause of communal riots in the country. The study concludes that Nadwi‟s approach is more relevant and appropriate to contemporary Indian society to establish communal harmony. His approach appeared as courageous, especially for Muslim youth to contribute to the development of the country without compromising their faith and identity

Spoligotyping analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area, Pakistan
No full textSajid Ali,1 Muhammad Tahir Khan,2 Khan Anwar Sheed,3 Muhammad Mumtaz Khan,4 Fariha Hasan11Department of Microbiology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan; 2Department of Bioinformatics and Biosciences, Capital University of Science and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan; 3Provincial TB Reference Laboratory, Provincial TB Control Program, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan; 4Department of Microbiology, University of Haripur, Haripur, PakistanBackground: Spoligotyping is a reproducible, reverse hybridization approach for genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Molecular typing of MTBC is helpful for understanding and controlling tuberculosis epidemics.Methods: Spoligotyping was performed on 166 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) collected from 25 districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Results were compared to SITVIT2, an online database developed by the Institut Pasteur de la Guadeloupe, France.Results: Spoligotyping results showed that 145 strains (88%) displayed known patterns while 21 (12%) were new. Lineage 3/Central Asian strain (L3/CAS) was the predominant family (73%, χ2=19.9, P=0.001), followed by L2/Beijing (5.4%) and L4 (4.2%). L3/CAS1-Delhi was the major sublineage (82%) among the L3/CAS family (χ2=664, P=0.0001). Analysis showed that the majority of the clinical isolates with an unknown pattern had an evolutionary link with the L3/CAS strain, and nine (5.4%) of the unknown strains were epidemiologically linked and were tentatively named L3/CAS-KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that L3/CAS is the predominant lineage of MTB, widely distributed in different areas of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Spoligotyping patterns of some clinical isolates could not be matched to other reported patterns in an international database. Other tools, such as mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR), will be helpful in future investigations into the epidemiological characteristics of clinical isolates in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.Keywords: spoligotyping, VNTR, L3/CAS, genotyping, molecular characterization, genetic diversit
