This species occurs from Kashmir and northwestern India eastwards across Nepal and Myanmar to Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, then north through Taiwan and eastern China to Korea and Japan (Pittaway & Kitching, 2013). Psilogramma increta is replaced in the Western Ghats, southern India, and Sri Lanka by P. v a t e s (Butler, 1875); in Peninsular Malaysia and the Greater Sunda Islands, Indonesia, by P. e di i (Eitschberger, 2001), and by other species in the other islands of Indonesia and farther east. However, the status of many of these species, which are mostly based on minor and often inconsistent differences in wing pattern and genital morphology, remain to be critically assessed.Published as part of Rafi, Muhammad Ather, Sultan, Amir, Kitching, Ian J., Pittaway, Anthony R., Markhasiov, Maxim, Khan, Muhammad Rafique & Naz, Falak, 2014, The Hawkmoth Fauna of Pakistan (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), pp. 393-418 in Zootaxa 3794 (3) on page 399, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3794.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/23055

Historical Review of Medieval Feminism in South Asia: Amir Khusrau’s work
Full text linkLiterature is considered an important source of history. Different types of historical literatures were produced in India during medieval period. Minhaj Siraj, Hasan Nizami, Fukhri-i-Mudabbir and Zia-ud-din Barani were the professional historian who revealed the political history of medieval India. In medieval tradition of historiography, historical works could be written in a special style and might combine the oratory and poetry. Amir khusrau (1253-1325A.D) was a multifaceted, multi-talented poet to whom the term ―renaissance man‖ genuinely applies. His poetic version described the minute details of political, social and cultural aspects of Indian life; even he criticized the public activities of women. Amir Khusrau was associated with three dynasties of Sultanate period in Hindustan. Amir Khusrau integrated into his vast poetic output, many perspicacious observations about contemporary Indian mores. His work is valuable not only as literary source but also for historical, social and political insight. Amir Khusrau is also known as the harbinger of the cultural synthesis between Hindu and Muslim civilization. His work is a defining moment in Indo Persian literature as it makes available crucial insights into his intellectual heritage and cultural intricacies of his age. Amir Khusrau was a known poet of his age, acknowledged as ―Tuti-iHind‖. His primary concern was to demonstrate his literary works. He gained lasting reputation and got the reward of his literary performances. His work including his five Diwans and Masnvis such as Ijaz-i-khusrawi, Nuh-i-Siphar, Hast-Bhaist, Matla-ul-Anwar, Khazain-ul-Futuh, Qiranus-Saadain covered many aspects of Sultanate history. Amir Khusrau narrates political, religious and social life of medieval period through his poetry. Amir Khusrau‘s work also depicts the moral standards of that time regarding women. Khusrau addresses various issues of women through his masnavis. Although, his work is an alternate source of history but it is remarkable in portraying the real face of feminisms in Middle Ages. This article basically encompasses those literary works of Amir Khusrau which dealt with the status of women during Sultanate period
Ghayat al-amani and the life and times of al-Hadi Yahya b. al-Husayn: an introduction, newly edited text and translation with detailed annotation
Full text linkThe thesis is anchored upon a text extracted from an important 11th / 17th century Yemeni historical work. This text deals primarily with al-Hādī ilā 'I-Haqq, the founder of the Zaydī Imamate in the Yemen that lasted well over a thousand years. AI-Hādīs imamate, of considerable significance in itself, also coincides with one of the most turbulent periods of early Yemeni mediaeval history. The- edited Arabic text, with its accompanying apparatus criticus. Is to be found at the opposite end of this volume. The Introduction considers various aspects of Imam al-Hadī’s life, religious ideas and aspirations and matters directly connected with the edited text and the work of which it forms a part. Among the most important subjects discussed are the MSS used in the production of the edited text, the problem concerning the authorship of Ghāyat al-amānī and the relationship of the latter work to Anbā' al-zaman. A short biography of al-Hādī is provided, together with a treatment of the historical background to ai-Hādīs imamate. The introduction also describes the editorial method followed with regard to the text, and certain key personal names and toponyms are dealt with there. The method employed by the author of the Ghāyat is to record the events of any one year by Itself. I have translated one year at a time and then followed it by the annotations appertaining to it. It is hoped that by means of these annotations. (some of which through necessity are quite detailed ), the text will be better understood. The numerous personages, tribal names and toponyms are considered, as well as problems concerning points of chronology and various matters of historical and religious significance. Specific comment is made upon certain interesting terms or any unusual or striking vocabulary. The thesis concludes with maps, genealogical tables and a comprehensive bibliography
