Paradigm Shift towards India...!

Two countries having almost similar cultural values and traditions. Two nations but the roots are in the same soil. Two enemies but having the same cause. India posses the same thoughts perhaps which Pakistanis have for Bangladesh after 1971. But both countries now accepts eachother separate entities having separate ideologies and different political and economical scenarios. Then why are we curious on declaring India MFN ( Most Favorite Nation).

I think this should have been done a long time ago, but the hatred due to the wars and separation in 1947 still forbid us to think positively. After taking risk of saying NO to US/NATO Pakistani Government has left with no option except of making friendly relations with all of its neighbor countries. China, Iran and Now India are being added in the friendship list of Pakistan. And a big role was played by AMAN ki ASHA and business community of Pakistan. Because they emphasis to maintain relation with India to get the things in much cheap rates comparatively than others, And India would have an opportunity to promote its business here.

All of us know that Indian movies pirated CDs are easily available in market and the situation of our Industry seems well that where we stands, our trade and production is decreasing day by day. So why not making it legal and profitable for Pakistan. Despite of having all concerns I think we need to build good relationship with india at least on trade and opportunities level. As this will help Pakistan to strengthen its boundaries against foreign countries like US. To build good relation are in favor of both the countries to use each other resources in order to prosper without fighting... lets see till when this relations lasts but We can hope for the good...!

A lady who served Pakistan...!

Begum Khursheed Abdul Aziz (1913 -2010) the lady who will always be remembered. One of the best friends of Fatima Jinnah, the one who has done many things for the country. Founder of Hajirabad Colony near Shah Faisal Colony. 15000 people were settled there and houses were given to them in just 700 in 1960s. She was the architect of many colleges e.g. Sir Syed Girls College and she were the reliable adviser of  Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah.

She was the true leader of women without any discrimination. She was the first who rose voice against the tradition of SATTI in hindu religion to protect the women burning in fire with her husband. She also tried to put the women rights on different forums. A true lover of Pakistan and its people. Do whatever she could for the refugees. Once she was offered the federal ministry too but she refused to get charge because wanted to serve people without being pointed out.

Led the women in Pakistan movement with Rana Liaquat Ali and Fatima Jinnah. Always helpful for needy people. A philanthropist and a great mother. Her husband was a journalist named Mr. Abdul Aziz. Both of them served the country with their endless and best efforts. She had the spiritual vision and powers gifted by ALLAH and with His support she was always blessed. May ALLAH rest her soul in peace.

HEC Ranking... Who is responsible; University or HEC ?

HEC has announced its new ranking and surprisingly NED and IoBM ratings are decreasing down. Can you digest it? Yes there is a criteria defined for HEC grading but HEC shouldn't neglect the current market trend and jobs ratio. Both of these universities are perceived to be the high gentry of student in engineering and business.

But aren't universities liable for this grading ? yes, they are! If we talk about NED, being a university of state its management has few responsibilities to fulfill first. The university producing champs of different engineering fields has not even replaced blackboards from it till yet. Although Private Universities are considered as money making factories but some are very good as they own a good name in Industry too. Is there any mechanism given by these universities that their grading can be dependant upon the student feedback surveys too. In my 6 years of University education I have never filled a University grading form by HEC.

Being a government institution NED, is also a victim of traditional working trend. The professor who is eligible of a chairman post is forced to sit aside and chairman seat will be awarded to his junior without having any serious claim against him. A dean can have 3 position at the same time including Chairmanship  of 2 departments. Isn't it the monopoly ? Non-professional teachers are hired in faculty just because they are relatives of the person on higher posts. And they are awarded with HEC foreign scholarships too. And as a result we need to face the brain drain.

I think Governor Sindh should take notice of the internal management issues in government universities as he being the chancellor owns this responsibility. Quota system should be removed from every university so as to maintain the merit and proper scholarship awarding schemes should also be introduced for the students who can't afford high fees. If nobody will take any notice then there would be no skilled faculty remains in the universities to teach the students what they should learn.
