مولاناعبدالماجد بدایونی

مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی
افسوس ہے کہ اس سال کا خاتمہ بھی ماتم پر ہوتا ہے، خطیب الامت مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی رحمۃ اﷲ علیہ کا ناگہانی سانحۂ ارتحال ہمارے لئے ذاتی اور قومی دونوں حیثیتوں سے وہ غم ہے جو بھلائے نہیں بھولتا۔
۱۴؍ دسمبر ۱۹۳۱؁ء کی نصف شب کو یہ واقعہ لکھنؤ صدر میں پیش آیا تو میں وہاں اس صبح کو موجود تھا، ۸ بجے صبح کو خبر ہوئی جب ۹ بجے کے بعد وہاں پہنچا تو مرحوم کی زندہ روح خدا کے پاس اور مردہ لاش بدایوں کو منتقل ہوچکی تھی۔
مولانا عبدالماجد بدایونی کون تھے؟ لکھنے والے ان کے محامد و اوصاف صفحوں میں لکھیں گے اور بیان کرنے والے گھنٹوں بیان کریں گے، لیکن اس سارے دفتر کو صرف ایک لفظ میں اگر ادا کرنا چاہیں تو کہہ سکتے کہ وہ ہستی جو سرتاپا محبت تھی، خدا سے محبت رسول سے محبت، آل رسول سے محبت، اکابر سے محبت، دوستوں سے محبت، کارکنوں سے محبت، عزیزوں سے محبت۔
حضرات علماء کے طبقہ میں ان کی ذات ہر حیثیت سے قابل فخر تھی، ان تمام لوگوں پر جنھوں نے طرابلس کے زمانہ سے اسلامی جدوجہد میں شرکت کی، ان بیس برسوں میں مختلف دور گزرے، یعنی کچھ آرام و سکون، پھر کچھ سعی و محنت، کچھ عزلت گزینی اور پھر ہنگامہ آرائی، کچھ توقف، پھر تیزرفتاری، اس طرح ان کی زندگی کے ایام وقتاًفوقتاً گزرتے رہے، مگر جماعت علماء میں یہی ایک ہستی تھی جس کی زندگی کے ایک لمحہ کو بھی اس وقت سے چین نصیب نہ ہوا، ہر وقت و ہر نفس ان کو کام کی ایک دھن لگی ہوئی تھی، جس کے پیچھے ان کا آرام چین خانگی سکون، اہل و عیال اور جان و مال ہر چیز قربان تھی، یہ بھی سماں گزرا ہے کہ ان کے گھر میں کفن دفن کا...

M.A. Jinnah: The Outside View by Dr M. Reza Kazimi (Book Reviews)

Keeping track with the growing literature on Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and his role in the modern Indian politics, may be an interesting and stimulating undertaking for the students of history. One thing is quite obvious that with the passage of time both in Pakistan and India—more so in the latter than in the former—the official historiography is being surpassed by historians aspiring to look into the partition afresh. The official historiographies in India and Pakistan had remained in vogue, in both countries, particularly during the initial two decades. This may be attributed to the momentum of respective Muslim and the Indian nationalist movements, which dominated the intellectual horizon in the two countries after independence. The postcolonial states in the two countries also relied heavily on their respective pre-partition nationalist assertions to construct their ideological edifices while aspiring to legitimize the state authorities. It was during the 1970s, that historians amassed courage to question some of the logical inconsistencies enwrapped in the official nationalist historical claims. With this there arose the urge to look into the historical roles of some of the most prominent political figures of pre-partition era. Thus while on the one hand Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Ambedkar, etc, came under new searchlights, on the other, Jinnah’s role was revisited with fresh and objective outlook. The new versions were also subjected to questions and historians have since been involved in responding to points raised by each other.

Natural Environmental Strategies by Corporations

Corporate environmentalism refers to the recognition by a corporation of the importance of environmental issues and how it integrates those issues into its strategy. A developing country provides a very different context with regard to environmental issues. The researcher has proposed an extended corporate environmentalism model and tested this model in a developing country, Pakistan. Six theories including Stakeholder Theory, Institutional approach, Strategic Fit, Slack Resource Theory, Agency Theory and Resource Based View were analyzed for development of extended corporate environmentalism model. The drivers of corporate environmental strategies were separated in internal and external factors. Internal drivers include issue legitimation, discretionary slack, employee concern, BOD concern and international experience while external drivers include regulatory forces, customer concern, competitive advantage, competitor concern, activists pressures and media concern. Top management commitment was taken as antecedent as well as mediator in the proposed model. Impact of industry type and corporation size on the proposed model was also analyzed. Data were collected through a questionnaires survey from 356 managers from organizations in a variety of industries from major cities of Pakistan. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was applied for model fit measures while Preacher and Hayes (2004) macro (syntax for SPSS) was used for mediation analysis. This study makes a contribution by identifying institutional pressures in the form of regulatory forces (coercive forces), issue legitimation (normative forces), competitive advantage and competitors (mimic forces) as important drivers for Pakistani organizations. Conversely, customer, media and activists are less effective drivers for corporate environmental strategies.
