مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی کی رحلت،علمی، ادبی، اوردینی، اور صحافتی دنیا کا ایک ایسا نقصان ہے جس کی تلافی کی کوئی صورت بظاہر موجود نہیں ہے وہ ان نادر شخصیتوں میں سے جن کے اندر قدیم اورجدید علوم جمع ہوجاتے ہیں اور وہ زمانہ کو اپنی خداداد ذہانت اور طبائع کی روشنی سے منّور کرنے کاایسا عظیم الشان کام انجام دیتے ہیں، جوقدیم علوم کے ماہرین اور جدید علوم کے علمبردار وں سے الگ الگ صورت میں ممکن نہیں۔ مولانا سعید احمد اکبرآبادی ایک طرف علامہ انور شاہ کشمیریؒ کے ذریعہ اورواسطے سے ،اس سلسلۃ الذہب سے منسلک نظرآتے ہیں،جواسرار علوم نبوت کے محرموں اورفقہ وحدیث کے بالغ نظر عالموں، اسلامی شرع اوردینی کمالات کے حامل شخصیتوں کاایک ایسا قافلہ ہے، جس نے دینی علوم کوتحقیقی صلاحیتوں کے قالب میں ڈھال کر ہرزمانہ اور ہرعہد کے مطابق بنانے اور اس کی رہنمایانہ استعدادقائم ر کھنے میں ناقابلِ فراموش حصّہ لیا۔ دوسری طرف سے وہ جدید علوم سے پوری طرح واقف، اور دنیا میں سائنسی اورصنعتی اورمعاشی انقلابات کے اثرات ونتائج سے مکمل طورپر باخبر اور نئے زمانے کے تقاضوں کاپورا شعور رکھنے والے ایک دانشور تھے، جوقدیم علوم کی آب و تاب،مذہبی روایات کے تقدس کی برقراری اور اصول واحکام دین کی پاسداری بلکہ نگہبانی کافرض آدھی صدی سے بھی زیادہ مدّت تک انجام دیتے رہے۔وہ ایک طرف مفتی عتیق الرحمن عثمانی ؒ،مولانا حفظ الرحمن سیوہاروی ؒ، مولانامحمد یوسف بنوری ؒ، مفتی محمد شفیع دیوبندیؒ،قاضی زین العابدین سجاد میرٹھی(تعالیٰ اﷲ عمرہٗ) مولانا احمدعلی لاہوریؒ،اورمولانا قاری محمد طےّب قاسمیؒ ،جیسے نابغۃ العصراور فقید المثال ماہرین علوم شریعت اور...

M.H. Panhwar as a Historian

The scope of this article is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of M.H. Panhwar’s historical work and to compare it with other scholars of Sindh. He is the initiator of scientific history writing of Sindh and the only historian who tried to uncover the face behind the social organisation of Sindh. According to him, ‘History is the history of production, control over the means of production and production to its final distribution’. The history is more about people than that of the ruling class as people are makers of history. He had vision to analyze things in their correct historical perspective and, in this context, he took support of archeology, as it is the source of scientific truth. Writing history with data acquired through carbon testing is a new phenomenon in Sindh, which was locally introduced by M. H Panhwar.1 M. H. Panhwar, therefore, was one of the pioneers in giving a new meaning to history by including both ruling elites and the common folk, progressive science, crop technology, forest, wildlife, etc.2 He was the first to throw light on areas which were ignored by other historians. According to him, history written before him is full of the accounts of the rulers’ role in relation to their nobles and foes, battles they fought, attacks, palace plotting, mausoleums, folklore, fiction and so on. Accounts regarding contemporary climate, environments, diversion of rivers, courses and the resultant ruination of irrigation systems, migrations, shifting of people, occupations, social life of the populace etc. Found little room in written histories. For instance changes in production and its means, administration and justice, agriculture, land, animal husbandry, irrigation sources and methods of mining, metallurgy, industry and industrial goods, matrimonial institutions, family and children, houses and interiors, art, architecture, archaeology, personal appearance, dresses, ornaments, foods and drinks, taxes, coins and currency, science and technology, foreign contacts, international trades and traders, routes of trades, religious beliefs, philosophy, hygiene, medicine and doctors, superstitions, common citizens, economic conditions, historical geography of bygone ages, classes of work and their relation with one another, household life, customs, entertainments, pastimes, leisure, attitude of man to nature, languages, literature, literary contacts with outside word, learning and thoughts, status of women and children in affluence and extreme poverty.3 Hence, in real sense M.H Panhwar was scholar of Haig’s Raverty’s and Lambrick’s calibre.

Revival of Radio in Pakistan: Cultural, Political and Social Impact of Fm Radio on the Youth

Many years back when television was just a dream, people used radio as an effective mode for communication and learning. In mid-20’s, with the advent of radio, man truly has stepped further into the revolutionary world. Radio is a very popular mode of media in our country. It has various important reasons i.e.easily accessible, cheaper and also used for entertainment and education purpose for common masses. In Pakistan, besides radio Pakistan, many commercial and noncommercial FM radios are also working. Mostly, FM commercial radios are considered as entertainment channels which air musical and entertainment stuff. On the other hand, noncommercial (campus radios) are working in different sectors, mainly in educational institutes as well as in some public sector departments. These FM radios are very effectively conveying information and education. FM community based radios are being used as a very effective, valuable, useful and result oriented educational tool all over the world. Many developed countries have used radio medium as a tool for distance education to the masses particularly to educate and address the people living in remote areas. In many countries of Africa and Asia, radio medium has been used as a tool of social change. Radio broadcasting has been used to address public issues, promotion of social and community awareness. The results of the research depicts that radio industry has revived after emergence of FM radios in Pakistan. FM radio has positive impact on its listeners and FM radio programs are impacting culturally, politically and socially on values of our youth. Furthermore, results of study also reveal that improvement is still required in FM broadcast so as to fully utilize potential of this useful medium in highlighting different cultural, political and social issues, keeping in view of the fact that the most affiliated group of society with FM radios is our youth. In Pakistan, radio medium deserves greater attention. Community radios are essentially required especially to address issues of rural and isolated communities. Government should learn from other part of world where radio is very effectively being used to approach the masses for awareness, education and information.
