Research work on Josh Malihabadi underway
Karachi: Literary and research work on 'Josh Malihabadi', one
of the most prominent poet of the Urdu history, has been accelerated in the
country, which is being considered an affirmative action among enthusiasts of
Urdu Literature. The efforts from some experts have become a movement of
'Josh Shanasi' not only in Pakistan but also in India. The prime objective of
the literary movement is to authentically discover the hidden but luminous
features of the great poet especially among the admirers of Urdu literature.
In this regard, so many experts and literary groups are playing their
pivotal role, but exclusively credit goes to renowned exponent of Marsia and
researcher Prof Dr Hilal Naqvi, a visiting faculty member at Pakistan Study
Centre, Karachi University (KU). Under the supervision of Dr Naqvi, Alfaz
Foundation Karachi is regularly publishing 'Josh Shanasi', a literary and
research based quarterly book series. The book series contain writings and
research articles of prominent literary experts of the Indo-Pak. On other
hand, such kinds of books and magazines specifically related to Josh are being
published in India also. Conversely, Akadimi Adabiyat-I-Pakistan, under the
patronage of Iftikhar Arif, has already published a very constructive and useful
Urdu book entitled "Josh Malihabadi: Personality and Art". However, Dr Naqvi has
provided his services to the Akadimi Adabiyat-I-Pakistan as an author of the
said book. The untiring efforts by Dr Naqvi could be gauged from the fact that
an index has also been prepared and published in the book, which shows the
height of the author's sincerity for the poet. Prof Dr Hilal Naqvi said
that Josh's revolutionary thoughts were remained a hurdle in term of
giving promotion to the thoughts and literary efforts of the poet in the
country, while some ignorant elements do not want scholars to endorse the
movement of Josh Shanasi. The nation

Karachi: The students of the Army Public Schools and Colleges in
Karachi and Malir Garrisons made a respectable delivery to aid the internally
displaced persons (Mehsud tribesmen) in the South Waziristan Agency on Friday.
Students contributed voluntarily, mainly out of their own pocket money, and
donated various items of need. The joint efforts by the youngsters were enough
to fill up two truck loads of goods that were handed over by head boys and girls
of the Army Public Schools and Colleges to Commander Corps Logistic in a simple,
yet impressive ceremony. The relief goods included stationery items, medicines,
warm clothing, bedding and food items, said an ISPR press release. The Pakistan
Army, which is cleansing the South Waziristan Agency of miscreants during the

Mehsud and other tribes in the area. Dawn
