میر غلام بھیک نیرنگؔ

پروفیسر شیخ عبدالقادر سرفراز (پونا)
ناسک (بمبئی) کے ایک خط سے جو مرحوم کے چھوٹے بھائی نے مجھے لکھا تھا یہ معلوم کرکے بڑا تاسف ہوا کہ میرے چالیس برس کے دوست پروفیسر شیخ عبدالقادر سرفراز نے پونہ میں اپنے مکان کا شانہ حق میں ۱۰؍ دسمبر ۱۹۵۲؁ء کو ساڑھے نو بجے انتقال فرمایا، اس کے بعد مرحوم کے بڑے صاحبزادے ڈاکٹر شیخ عبدالحق ایم، اے۔ پی، ایچ، ڈی پروفیسر اردو فارسی (بمبئی) کی اطلاع سے اور بہت سی باتیں معلوم ہوئیں، یہ بھی معلوم ہوا کہ مرحوم کو بڑھاپے اور شیخوخت کے ضعف کے سوا کوئی خاص مرض نہ تھا، بصارت سے معذور ہوچکے تھے، ایک ہفتہ سے ضعف بڑھتا جاتا تھا، ڈاکٹروں کے معائنہ سے قلب اور اعضائے رئیسہ توانا پائے گئے، حواس آخر تک بجا تھے، سوا نو بجے خود آنکھیں بند کرلیں لب ہل رہے تھے، غالباً کلمہ پڑھ رہے تھے، ۱۵ منٹ کے بعد یعنی ساڑھے نو بجے صبح کو اس دنیائے فانی سے سفر اختیار کیا۔
۱۹؍ جولائی ۱۸۷۹؁ء پیدایش کی تاریخ تھی، بہتر (۷۲) برس کی عمر پائی، مرحوم کا خاندان دراصل یوپی کا باشندہ تھا، غدر کے ایام میں بمبئی کی طرف نکل گیا، مرحوم کے والد شیخ سرفراز ڈاکٹر تھے، انہوں نے ناسک کو اپنا وطن بنایا لیکن مرحوم کی عمر کا بڑا حصہ پونہ اور بمبئی میں گزرا ۱۹۰۲؁ء میں بمبئی یونیورسٹی سے ایم، اے پاس کیا اور غالباً ان کا خاص موضوع فارسی تھا، اس زمانہ میں ایک شریف ایرانی فاضل پروفیسر مرزا حیرت بمبئی یونیورسٹی میں فارسی کے مسندنشین صدر تھے، ان کا غیر معمولی فضل و کمال تمام بمبئی میں مسلم تھا، مرحوم شیخ عبدالقادر کو فارسی کا ذوق انہی کی صحبت سے حاصل ہوا، چنانچہ مرزا حیرتؔ کی انہوں نے مختصر سوانح عمری بھی لکھی ہے اور مجلس میں اکثر ان کے فضائل...

Education in Pakistan: The Need for Greater Alignment Between Policy and Praxis

The Government of Pakistan has a primary obligation to establish and maintain quality public schools for its citizens. The education policies and documents of the government of Pakistan (see 1973 constitution of Pakistan) not only recognizes education as a public good, but also expresses commitment to establish an equitable education system. Nonetheless, the element of conceptualized ‘equality’ looks a far cry in real sense. This paper, hence, realizing on-ground situation, examines empirically the contradictions that exist between government rhetoric of egalitarianism in education and the extent to which the gap exists between policy intention and policy implementation. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 28 educationists, this article asserts that the government’s dual policy towards education (ignoring public education and encouraging private education) has tacitly legitimized the sale and purchase of education as commodity. This shift, in the perception of education from a public good to a private commodity, seriously brings disadvantages to working class pupils in the competition for earning valuable educational credentials and trading upon them. Treating education as private good contributes to perpetuation of class hierarchies in Pakistan.

Linear and Nonlinear Dynamics of Space and Laboratory Plasma

Linear and non-linear dynamics of di erent electrostatic modes is studied in inhomoge- neous, magnetized and non-Maxwellian plasmas. A linear dispersion relation is obtained for the Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) mode and numerically analyzed in the presence of dust charge uctuations and Kappa distributed electrons. It is found that these nonthermal pop- ulations reduce the growth rate ITG. It is also noticed that the characteristics of ITG driven vortices change with the value of spectral index, inhomogeneities, scale lengths and dust charge uctuations. Electron Temperature Gradient (ETG) mode is investigated in a collisionless plasma with Kappa distributed ions. Di erent aspects of the ETG-mode are discussed and noticed that these are modi ed with the superthermality e ect of ions e.g., the phase velocity of the ETG- mode. In the nonlinear regime, we found the ETG mode driven vortex structures, where we noticed that the vortex speed and the amplitude changes with the Kappa value and the ion to electron temperature ratio. Further, the ETG mode is discussed by including the parallel electron dynamics. It is noticed that the parallel motion of electrons stabilizes the ETG instability. Thus the possibility of the formation of nonlinear vortex structures increase. These investigations are discussed both for circular and elliptic type dipolar vortices. In this model an eigen mode dispersion relation is also obtained in the ballooning limit. This relation is also modi ed in the presence of non- Maxwellian ions. Electron AcousticWaves (EAW) are studied with non-Maxwellian hot electrons and stationary/non- stationary ions. In this investigation, both the linear and nonlinear propagation of EAW with stationary and non-stationary ions are discussed. It is noticed that the behavior of EAW is di erent for Kappa distributed hot electrons and Cairn''s distributed hot electrons. Superthermality e ect of electrons and ions on the dust charge uctuations and on the low frequency dust drift/acoustic waves is investigated in an inhomogeneous dusty plasma. It is noticed that this superthermality e ect of ions and electrons reduces the growth rate of the instability due to dust charge uctuations. It is found that dust charge and the superthermalty e ect of ion and electrons reduce the growth rate of instability. In the nonlinear regime, the condition for the existence of dust drift/ acoustic wave driven vortices modi es due to spectral index Kappa. Further, we have investigated the ITG driven solitons and shocks for the electron-ion plasmas for thest time. In this case, it is noticed that the amplitude of the soliton decreases and width of the soliton increases with the increase in ion temperature. In the case of dissipated electron- ion plasmas, the amplitude of the shock increases for with an increase in thei value.
