ہوائے دید کا چلنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

ہوائے دید کا چلنا تمھیں مبارک ہو
قفس زدوں کا مچلنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

ہمارے ہاتھ لگے ہو خریدیں کیوں نہ تمھیں
نگاہِ ناز پہ بکنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

میں حسن زادہ ہوں، کنعاں وطن سے آیا ہوں
کہ مجھ پہ تہمتیں دھرنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

مرا نصیب کہ مجھ پر نگاہ بھی نہ ہوئی
مرا وہ ہاتھ یوں ملنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

وہ اک نظر کہ شرابوں کے جام جیسی ہے
اب اس سے پینا ، بہکنا تمھیں مبارک ہو

Kipling’s Depiction of the Great Game Between British India and Czarist Russia

This article provides valuable information about the living conditions of Muslims of the Pak-Afghan Region in the context of revisiting Rudyard Kipling’s view of the Great Game of the 19th century between Great Britain and Russia that roughly continued for about a century beginning in the second decade of the 19th century to the signing of the Anglo Russian convention in 1907. In this respect his famous novel, Kim (1901) has been critically examined to establish the political content of his creative work. Coupled with the appreciation of the novel as a great work of art with its many facets and themes, views of Edward Said have been juxtaposed to arrive at a conclusion that the novel is also a celebration of imperialism. In today’s scenario in Central Asia particularly Afghanistan, a revisit of Kipling is an interesting revelation. The discussion also reveals the similarities of the tussle of two centuries back to the realities in the region today. This insight as we appreciate Kipling’s masterpiece novel proves even more eye-catching and real. This paper also examines Peter Hopkirk’s works on the Great Game to historically asses the dialectics of the imperial struggle between the two super powers of the time. In this connection, a brief discussion is available on the three Anglo-Afghan Wars as well as the conflict in Kashgharia. This article presents an overview of the view head by Russians on the conflict which they call Tournament of Shadows or Bolshya Igra involving spies and military personnel. A fresh look at Kipling’s works in general and his novel Kim, in particular, helps explore the very essentials of the working of Imperialism and empire-building, which is the main stay of this paper. A deeper look would understandably unfurl big powers rivalry in general, and the present day security situation in Asia in particular, by going through the works of a great writer; the first Englishman and the youngest recipient for Nobel Prize in Literature (1907).  

O N the B Oundedness and M Easure of N on - Compactness for M Aximal and P Otential O Perators

The essential norm of maximal and potential operators defined on homogeneous groups is estimated in terms of weights. The same problem is discussed for par- tial sums of Fourier series, Poisson integrals and Sobolev embeddings. In some cases we conclude that there is no a weight pair (v, w) for which the given operator is compact from L pw to L qv . It is proved that the measure of non-compactness of a bounded linear operator from a Banach space into a weighted Lebesgue space with variable parameter is equal to the distance between this operator and the class of finite rank operators. The p(x) essential norm of the Hilbert transform acting from L w p(x) to L v is estimated from below. As a corollary we have that there is no a weight pair (v, w) and a function p from the class of log-H ̈older continuity such that the Hilbert transform is compact p(x) from L w p(x) to L v . Necessary and sufficient conditions on a weight pair (v, w) governing the bound- edness of generalized fractional maximal functions and potentials on the half-space q(x) from L pw (R n ) to L v (R n+1 + ) are derived. As a corollary, we have criteria for the trace inequality for these operators in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.
