Gujjar History in Urdu 11

قسط نمبر 11 اسلام علیکم ۔۔ ایک لمبے عرصے کے بعد ہم اپنا ٹوٹا ہوا سلسلہ پھر سے شروع کر رہے ہیں۔ آج ہم کوشان گجروں کے بارے میں بات کریں گے  کوشان، کوشانہ، کشانہ، کسانہ یہ سب ایک ہی لفظ کے مختلف انداز ہیں جو وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ اانداز و بیان میں بدلتے گئے۔ کوشان گجروں کے بارے میں تمام جدید اور قدیم، مغربی اور مشرقی، ہندو اور مسلمان مورخ متفق ہیں کہ انہوں نے قبل مسٰیح میں میں ہندوستان، افغانستان، سنٹرل ایشیاء اور چائنا کے کچھ خطے پر ایک لمبا عرصہ حکومت کی ہے ۔ کوشان نے گندھارا آرٹ کو جنم دیا، بدھ مت مذہب کو پھیلایا، کوشان کا دارالحکومت موجودہ پشاور تھا۔ زیادہ تر تاریخ دان کہتے ہیں کہ کوشان یوآچی نسل تھے اور یوآچی نسل کے بارے میں زیادہ تر تاریخ دان متفق ہیں کہ یہ یورپ انڈین نسل ہے ۔ جیسے کہ ہم اپنی پچھلی اقساط میں اس بات کو بیان کر چکے ہیں کہ آرین نسل کے دو گروپ بنے ایک یورو آرین اور ایک انڈو آرین۔ اور یہ ساری تحقیق ثابت کرتی ہے کہ کوشان انڈو آرین گروپ کا ہی حصہ تھے۔ اس بات کو بھی پوری دنیا کے تاریخ دان مانتے ہیں کہ کوشان جس نسل سے تعلق رکھتے تھے وہ آج بھی گجر قوم کے روپ میں زندہ ہے...

Now or Never

Major world powers remained hell bent to promote their geo-political interests by playing one country off against the other from time to time, Both India and Pakistan have created highly nationalistic narratives of why their relations are troubled. Each side projects itself as pursuing the correct course of action and blames the other side for being responsible for conflict and tension in the region. On both sides, there are people and groups that have made careers out of preaching hatred against the other side. They have been socialised into a negative narrative about the other side and find it difficult to entertain the idea of normal relations between Pakistan and India. There is no scope for improvement of relations if India and Pakistan stay prisoners of history and cannot look beyond the historical baggage. Both sides will have to do some out-of-the-box thinking if their relations are to be normalised. They will have to address their blind spots if they want to resolve th...

Ch Rahmat Ali

Ch Rahmat Ali (RA) - Founder of Pakistan Even though 68 years have passed since his death, his writings about the dangers facing Muslims are as relevant today as they were then (truth always stands clear from error even over the passage of time). For instance, Ch. Rahmat Ali (RA) called for an Islamic Renaissance and in one pamphlet, he wrote: "Our greatest asset and opportunity is our Faith, which has created what we possess; it has made us what we are. That is, the emancipators of hundreds of millions of human beings. Islam has worked miracles for us in the past, and it can and will do the same for us now and always, if only we let it do so. Such is the promise of Islam. Yet such is our perversion that we are simply not following Islam. We are ignoring it in every sphere of life - individual, national, moral and material. Not only that, we are turning to alien, `Western' cults instead. That is, to cults that have already poisoned the source of our life, undermined the ...
