Akbar II as Pretender: A Study in Anarchy
No full textAkbar Shāh, son of the Mughal emperor Shāh 'Ālam II, was elevated to the throne of Delhi as pretender eighteen years previous to his accession as Akbar II, and money was struck in his name. The addition of another claimant to the dynastic list was communicated in a joint paper by Mr. S. H. Hodivala and myself, which appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for the year 1922, and to which I invite reference. I had found a copper coin of Aḥmadābād mint bearing the name of Akbar Shāh and date A.H. 1203, which made me conjecture whether Ghulām Qādir Khān, the “unspeakable Rohilla”, raised another prince to the Mughal throne after the puppet Bedār Bakht (A.H. 1202–3), who might or might not be identical with the Akbar Shāh, eldest surviving son of Shāh 'Ālam II, who succeeded his father in the regular way as Akbar II in the year A.H.. 1221 (A.D. 1806). I put the matter to Mr. Hodivala, a leading authority on Mughal history, and his reply was that “it has not yet been possible to find an absolutely complete and satisfactory solution of the problem connected with the Akbar Shāh coins of A.H. 1203, but there would seem to be fairly good grounds for answering the question in the affirmative”. The fullest account of the transactions which led to the deposition and blinding of Shāh 'Ālam II is in the 'Ibratnāmah (Book of Warning) of Faqīr Khairu-d-dīn Muḥammad, but this work closes soon after recounting the terrible cruelties practised on the Emperor Shāh 'Ālam and his family by the infamous Ghulām Qādir, whose atrocities the author describes at length.</jats:p
Akbar entre mundos : uma análise, leitura crítica e tradução da obra poética de Kaveh Akbar
Full text linkOrientador: Prof. Dr. Caetano Waldrigues GalindoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa : Curitiba, 27/02/2025Inclui referênciasÁrea de concentração: Estudos LiteráriosResumo: Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo comentar criticamente a produção poética do escritor contemporâneo americano-iraniano Kaveh Akbar, autor de dois livros de poemas: Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) e Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar nasceu na cidade de Teerã, no Irã, em 1989 e na infância mudou para os Estados Unidos, onde vive até hoje. Neste trabalho, articulo a sua biografia de deslocamento com a sua produção literária, dentro dos limites da autoficção. Ademais, proponho uma análise aprofundada de como os temas, estipulados aqui como centrais na sua obra, "linguagem", "religião" e "memória", aparecem e se entrelaçam ao longo da sua produção poética. Também conecto a literatura de Akbar e sua trajetória biográfica com a discussão acerca da "literatura sem morada fixa", teorizada por Ottmar Ette (2018), problematizando assim as questões da literatura contemporânea e das suas fronteiras. E, por último, apresento a tradução de 23 poemas retirados de seus dois livros, a fim de possibilitar ainda mais a discussão sobre a sua obra poética, que é recente e, apesar de ter obtido grande destaque no cenário literário norte-americano, permanece pouco conhecida e não tinha sido, até o momento, traduzida no BrasilAbstract: This research aims to critically analyse the poetic production of the contemporary American-Iranian writer Kaveh Akbar. He is the author of two poetry books, Calling a Wolf a Wolf (2017) and Pilgrim Bell (2021). Akbar was born in Tehran, Iran, in 1989, and moved to the United States as a child, where he currently lives. In this research, I articulate his biography with his literary production, within the limits of autofiction. Also, I conduct a detailed analysis of how the three themes, defined here as the main themes in his poetry books, "language", "religion" and "memory", appear and are intertwined throughout his work. I also connect Akbar's literature and his biographical trajectory with the discussion about "literatures without a fixed abode", theorized by Ottmar Ette (2018), thus problematizing the issues of contemporary literature and its borders. And, finally, this dissertation presents my translation of 23 poems taken from Akbar's two books into Portuguese, in order to shine a light on his work and bring the discussion about it to Brazil. His publications are farrelly recent, and despite receiving great attention in the North American literary scene, they remain little known in Brazil and have not, to this date, been translated or published in the countr
Starting Point of Stream of Consciousness in Urdu Fiction
Full text linkStream of consciousness is a psychological theory which is presented by Professor William James in his book "The Principles of Psychology". Stream of consciousness is a continuous flow of sense-perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and memories in the human mind. This term is reserved for indicating an approach to the presentation of psychological aspects of character in fiction. In Urdu fiction, Syed Sajjad Zaheer first used this technique in his novel "London ki Aik Raat" very well

The Principle of ṣulḥ-i kull as in Abū al-Faẓl's Akbar Namah
Full text linkAbū al-Faẓl, author of Akbar Namah, in his discussion of the 1580-1582 rebellion in Bengal and Bihar uses the term ṣulḥ-i kull. Though he blames both the court and the rebels of failure to understand this principle correctly, its true meaning is far from clear. If, however, his ambiguous phrasings are compared to the description of the rebellion found in Badāonī or Ni○ām al-Dīn, it turns out that Abū al-Faẓl holds responsible Mu○affar Khān and Shāh Manṣūr, the highest officials at the Mughal court, for neglecting to apply the principle of ṣulḥ-i kull, which means equal treatment of Muslims and Hindus. It seems significant that Abū al-Faẓl’s advocacy of ṣulḥ-i kull came just at the time when Emperor Akbar successfully suppressed the rebellion and firmly established Mughal sovereignty over North India. ○：zの下に点二つjournal articl
The class of simple dynamics systems
Full text link[EN] In this paper, we study the class of simple dynamical systems on R induced by continuous maps having finitely many non-ordinary points. We characterize this class using labeled digraphs and dynamically independent sets. In fact, we classify dynamical systems up to their number of non-ordinary points. In particular, we discuss about the class of continuous maps having unique non-ordinary point, and the class of continuous maps having exactly two non-ordinary points.The author is very thankful to the referee for giving valuable suggestions.

Revoltof «Allah Akbar!» Kabul, February, 1980
No full text(uk) Стаття присвячена малодослідженому епізоду історії Демократичної республіки Афганістан та початкового етапу радянської окупації цієї країни –повстанню «Аллах Акбар!» У дослідженні на основі розрізнених повідомлень радянської офіційної періодики (передусім газети «Правда») і свідчень очевидців тих подій відтворені обставини, передумови, хід, масштаби і наслідки кабульських подій лютого 1980 р. Автор доводить, що повстання «Аллах Акбар!» стало першою організованою масовою акцією протесту афганського суспільства проти радянського вторгнення і окупації країни. Воно справило значний вплив на настрої афганського і радянського керівництва і справило визначальний вплив на повномасштабне втягнення СРСР в афганську кризу.(en) The article is devoted to the little-studied episode of the history of the Democratic republic of Afghanistan and the initial stage of the Soviet occupation of this country -the rebellion «Allah Akbar!» The events, the circumstances, preconditions, the course, scales and effects of the Kabul events of February, 1980 have been reproduced in a study based on disparate messages of the Soviet official periodicals (first of all, the “Pravda” newspaper) and testimonies of eyewitnesses.
Hundreds of thousands of residents of the Afghan capital and neighboring settlements took part in disorders in Kabul in February, 1980. They were supported by separate units of the DRA Armed Forces. About a thousand members of the rebellion have been arrested. The Afghan army units, as well as the Soviet troops, armored machinery, and aircraft have been used to suppress the national performances. The author proves that the uprising «Allah Akbar!» became the first organized mass protest action of the Afghan society against the Soviet invasion and occupation of the country. The numerous facts of attacks on the premises and institutions, where the citizens of the USSR were, demonstrated to it.
The Kabul events of February, 1980 had a significant impact on the moods of Afghan and Soviet leaders. They had shown that the puppet pro-Soviet regime of Babrak Karmal wouldn’t be able to retain power without the support of the Soviet troops. After the revolt in Kabul similar anti-Soviet performances have swept also on other cities. And in the spring 1980 Soviet armies were gradually involved in full-scale fighting against the Afghan opposition on the party of the unpopular regime.
