میر اکبر علی خان

سابق گورنر میر اکبر علی خاں
اتر پردیش اور اڑیسہ کے سابق گورنر میر اکبر علی خاں کی وفات ملک و ملت کا اہم حادثہ ہے، وہ تحریک خلافت اور آزادی کی جدوجہد میں شریک رہے، اسی زمانے سے مولانا سید سلیمان ندوی سے ان کے تعلقات تھے، وہ علامہ شبلیؒ اور سید صاحبؒ کے قدرداں اور دارالمصنفین سے بڑا اخلاص رکھتے تھے، جب اتر پردیش کے گورنر ہوئے تو اسے میزبانی کا شرف بھی بخشا اور ایک بڑی رقم مرحمت کی جس سے ایک بڑا ہال تعمیر ہوا، مرحوم ہماری پرانی تہذیب و شرافت کا نمونہ اور سچے مسلمان تھے، صوم و صلوٰۃ کے پابند تھے، دارالمصنفین میں ان کی تشریف آوری جمعہ کے دن ہوئی تھی، یہیں کی مسجد میں جمعہ کی نماز ادا کی، جب وہ اڑیسہ کے گورنر تھے تو اس زمانے میں ایک دفعہ میں کلکتہ گیا، گورنر ہاؤس میں عصرانہ تھا، جس میں وہ بھی شریک تھے، میں ملا تو بڑی شفقت و محبت سے پیش آئے اور دارالمصنفین کا ذکر خیر فرماتے رہے، اﷲ تعالیٰ انہیں جنت الفردوس نصیب کرے اور پسماندگان کو صبر جمیل عطا کرے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی،جولائی ۱۹۹۴ء)

Revelation in Hinduism: A Muslim Reading

Hinduism has been viewed by Semitic religions as a religion devoid of revelation. Early, Medieval and modem Muslim and Christian writings have often portrayed Hinduism as pagan even satanic while Hindus for millennia have claimed to be divinely revealed. Is Hinduism really a revealed religion and if so, what kind of a revelation does it have? In what manner does the divine reveal himself and who are the recipients of this revelation? To what extent is this concept different from ours? Does the process of revelation continue or has it been discontinued? These are some of the more significant questions that this article shall engage with. It clarifies that Hindus have books which they consider revealed and look upon much as Muslims look upon their Qur’an. The most significant of these among a majority of the Hindus are called the Vedas, literally, knowledge. It goes on to introduce the Vedas with respect to their various parts and content, what Hindus largely believe about it and how they ensured its preservation and safe transmission to later generations through various intricate and elaborate memorization techniques. The article highlights the importance of rishl, the recipients of these revelations, their kinds, characteristics and role in the process of revelation. The article contends that there is much in common between Rishland Semitic prophets with respect to their characteristics but that the similarities do not end here. Rather there is much more common ground to be explored with respect to revelation and its contents and its conveyors than meets the eye.

Effect of Soil Additives on Soil Moisture Conservation and Legume-Cereal Performance under Rainfed Conditions

The present two years study (2010-11 and 2011-12) was conducted at research area of PMAS-Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (AAUR) to test various soil additives for soil moisture conservation under different cropping systems, 2) find out an appropriate cropping system for efficient resource utilization and increase production per unit area and 3) compare the profitability of different soil additives and cropping systems. The field experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with split plot arrangements keeping cropping systems in main plots and soil additives in subplots. The cropping systems included summer fallow-wheat, mungbean-wheat, sorghum-wheat, and sorghum + Mungbean–Wheat (Mungbean was intercropped in sorghum). Soil additives i.e. farm yard manure, gypsum, compost and hydrogel (Qemisoyl) were applied in third week of June 2010 @ 25 t ha-1, 2.5 t ha-1, 0.75 t ha-1 and 15 kg ha-1, respectively about two week before the onset of monsoon. During the study period data on soil moisture content, bulk density, crop growth, yield and yield components for all the crops were recorded. Competitive indices, and water use efficiency was also calculated. The data was subjected to Fisher’s Analysis of Variance Technique (ANOVA) using statistical package STATISTIX 8.1. Least Significant Difference (LSD) test was used for comparison of treatment means. Economic analysis was performed using partial budget and dominance analysis techniques. The data revealed that at the time of wheat sowing after fellow or summer grown mungbean/sorghum, hydrogel (Qemisoyl) conserved higher moisture content (16.42%) in the soil profile as compared to control (12.80%). It was followed by compost, FYM and Gypsum. Among cropping systems, Mungbean-Wheat cropping xx system had slightly higher soil moisture content (15.1%) as compared to summer fellow (14.4%). Minimum soil moisture was recorded in Sorghum-Wheat system (13.2%). The moisture content in intercropping system was at par with fallow-wheat system. The values of competitive indices i.e. Land Equivalent Ratio, Relative Crowding Coefficient, and Competitive Ratio indicated sorghum/mungbean-wheat intercropping system as the most competitive and resource efficient system. Actual Yield Loss and Intercropping Advantage indices indicated reduction in yield of crops as compared to sole but it was compensated by (intercropping) production of two crops from same piece of land simultaneously. Sorghum-mungbean intercropping system produced wheat (2424 kg ha-1) at par with other systems implying this system as most productive in terms of total production per unit area per unit time (one year rotation). The partial budget analysis revealed sorghum/mungbean-wheat as most profitable cropping system and Hydrogel as most profitable soil additive. Whereas the hydrogel was most profitable soil additive in all cropping systems except mungbean-wheat system where compost was found most profitable.
