A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Poetry and other forms of expression in literature all over the world are the strongest medium for reflecting the nuances of a particular society. Urdu is a modern language which emerged in the Indian sub-continent and reflects most aptly the composite heritage of the Indian people in all its dimensions. The language was adopted by the Hindus and Muslims alike and also became a prominent vehicle of our anti-imperialist struggle. Its rich vocabulary, multiple forms of expression, popular script and its ability to cater to the taste of the learned and the common men alike has made the language an important tool of historical reconstruction. All literary genres of Urdu language are the most important carries of our recent historical past. There has been an indomitable line of scholars writing in Urdu who while popularizing the language also made a formidable contribution in strengthening our composite culture and heritage. There is a vast corpus of Urdu literature which has not been assessed with the perspective of revisiting our historical past particularly with the objective of national reconstruction. These days I am doing research on this thrust area. This article describes the important elements of Hindu-Muslim culture and integration and their relevance to national reconstruction. It attempts to highlight the traces of a common heritage. Herein lays the relevance of Urdu literature in reflecting the elements of this common identity and composite culture. My work will make a brief survey of the trends in Urdu writing and will suitably contribute to a socio-historical reconstruction of

A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH INTEREST
My teaching and research interest has been shaped on the one hand by my own inclinations and on the other by needs of the Department since I have joined the College. My basic training in Urdu literature began early during my graduation. As one of the papers of Urdu (Hons) course, History of Urdu language, required me to read some basic book of Urdu literature and thus motivated an urge to study Urdu Literature. I was thus fascinated by the ways in which languages share their lexicons across the geographical boundaries. The very fact that the different root-words travel all the way from Persian, Arabic, English, Hindi, Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Baltic, Slavic and finally through Germanic route and come to survive in Urdu encourages me to look beyond and pursue my career in Urdu Language. I got the proper environment and academic atmosphere to spur and nurture my intellectual appetite in
I have examined eight different varieties of Urdu-Persian, besides providing an account of nine major languages of
A. Languages that have only Subject-Verb agreement.
B. Languages that have both Subject-Verb & Object-Verb agreement on an alternative basis (i.e. the verb agrees with either the subject or the object in different syntactic environment).
C. Languages that have primarily Subject-Verb agreement, however, other actants (NPs) also find their marking on the verb due to certain pragmatic value or requirements of the language e.g. specificity marking, animacy factor, scale of honorificity and some pattern gap in the system of pronouns etc. I have tried to unify the agreement types (a) & (c) into one system and have termed it as a single system of agreement and have labelled the agreement type (b) as a dual system of agreement. The motivation for the combining (a) & (c) into one comes from two main factors; (i) there is no change of the syntactic environment of marking the inflection of other actants (NPs) on the verb besides the subject (ii) the languages do not show overt object agreement. With the help of such micro level study of the phenomenon in the varieties of Urdu-Hindi, I have tried to provide a solution to the problem of ‘agreement facts’ in complex predicates of Urdu-Hindi at a macro level which otherwise remains unexplained.
Before joining the Department of Urdu, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, I was selected in a reputed research institution .However, I took up the job at University of Delhi, considering the fact that I would be able to finish my post doctoral work within the stipulated time-limit if I work in University of Delhi in general and the Department of Urdu Kirori Mal College in particular. It has provided me a very strong and healthy environment of growth and a good opportunity to further shape my research interest. I have been teaching several papers of Urdu language & literature since 2000. They include ‘history of Urdu, Urdu culture, Urdu society Urdu prose & poetry. I have also helped the Department to carry out intensive field-works on several assignments. In addition to my regular teaching assignments, I have also contributed to other regularly organized programs of the Department. I have thus taught history in such programs to Indian students. Teaching these classes always has helped me to practice the theories of most of the core areas of Urdu literature. The feed back (the assignments) from the programs have enriched my point of view of analyzing the corpus. It has also given me insights into the area of interference and the typological similarity of the target and source language, despite the fact that innovation in language teaching in addition to the direct method of teaching is mostly followed and used within teaching of Urdu and English. I am working on the role of Urdu language in promotion of nationalism which has been accepted for publication by a reputed publisher. The book contains a precise and in-depth account of historical study of the Urdu language. I am also planning to work on a text-book–“Introduction to Urdu Language for Foreign language learners” which will help the learners to accelerate their process of learning the foreign language. The work has also been already accepted for publication by a reputed publisher. The publisher has also promised to bring out a foreign print.
I have professional interest in various schools of thought in Urdu literature. My area of interest started emerging while doing post graduation in Urdu from
A short Description Regarding the Research Related to Doctor and Master of Philosophy
DOTOR OF PHILOSPHY I have done Ph.D. in the History of Urdu classic literature entitled “A critical study of romantic long verse” which is a reliable source of Modern History. Long verse is most popular form of Urdu poetry because of its approach to Modern History. Long poems with social and Philosophical content had also been written during classic period. It was under the Influence of western poetry that poets of renaissance, some writers wrote long poem with content of modern historicity in Urdu in the 2nd half of 19th century. In 20th century the Philosopher poet IQBAL further developed and popularized long poem in Urdu introducing variety of themes in it. Presently the long poem in one of the most representative accounts of Modern History. Most Of the socio-political, Historical, Geographical and Culture problems of this period had been dealt with in long poems. Various new experiments of technique and expression had also been attempted by the writers in this form. Thus the long poem in Urdu has been greatly enriched in contents and artist expression. Classicism and Romanticism are among the most often used yet extremely perplexing terms of literary jargons. The terms denote two tendencies not only different but directly opposed to each other and conspicuously dissembled in work spread over different periods of history of a literature. For example in English literature, the age of Dryden and his poems i.e. from 1660 up to the French revolution (1787) is called the age of classicism and the period from French revolution up to the middle of the 19th century is known as the age of Romanticism. The terms, are, therefore, best understood when discussed and analyzed in contrast with each other. It is interesting to have a look into the etymology of Classicism and Romanticism. The usage of classical word in literary field was first of all quoted by
Romanticists, on the contrary, revolted and rebelled against the bondage of rules and customs. Romanticism recognized no law of literature’, it was ‘liberalism of literature’, an intoxicating dreaming. The classical correctness and structural propriety wrought by the conscious intellectual control seemed to be fettering the creative human spirit. Rebellious and revolutionary attitude toward established tradition either in society or in literature is, thus the basis of romantic temper. The inspiration Romanticism got was from folklore and middle Ages instead of classical antiquity. It was expression and not subject matter, which was really important for the classical. Regarding subject matter and expression Pope observed: True wit is Nature to advantages dressed- what oft was thought, but never so well expressed: The subject matter, “what oft was thought” was the familiar’s reality, plain, general, traditional and representative truth. The aim of a writer was only to express it the best possible manner. The instrument for such expression was with and not imagination. Wit with classical, was as Robert Walsenburg observed ‘a truth and lively expression of nature. The skill of the poet lay only in his intellect to comprehend and in his wit to express it in a clear, fresh objective and correct way. The craze for conscious craftsmanship, balance, proportion, correctness and ‘good sense’ result in a tendency toward precise and elegant but formula style in prose and poetry. The writers used inane and artificial phraseology, conventional and hackneyed classical figure, pompous circumlocutions, and decorative imagery and traditionally accepted poetic diction and meter (heroic couplet) well suited of epigrammatic neatness and terseness. With Romantic collectively, my whole research work is comprehensive and reveals my critical ability and originality. It will be must-read for every social scientist who truly wants to understand history on comparative perspectives. This is sine-qua- none of contemporary knowledge of research for a variety of disciplines like Archeological, Economics, Education, Evolutionary sciences, Family studies, Human ecology, Psychology, Sociology, History and Literature in modern world. This is based mainly on result of original research, whether empiricism of theoretical development, mediations and consequences of Modern
Master of philosophy I have done M. Phil on the history of progressive Urdu novel. I worked on the positive criticism of the progressive novels. I tried to bring out the progressive thoughts, motivation and contribution toward the development of Urdu novel, which is the real approach of modern literary history. In the first year of my M. Phil program, I studied mythology of research and textual criticism. Then I successfully advanced to the second year in which I was assigned a topic entitled “Agha Shair Qazalbash Dehlvi. Through my critical study of the novels- ‘Hire ki- Kani’ Naqli Tajdar, Naheed and Arman, I tried to bring out the progressive thoughts, motivations and author's contribution towards the development of Urdu fiction. The progressive literary movement has played the role of catalyst in bringing new trends in modern Urdu literature. Socio-political, historical and cultural themes have been adopted under the influence of progressive ideology which led to new experiment in realistic depiction of life. Many revealing treaties have come out in the area of forms and techniques due to the influence of progressive literary movement on Urdu poetry and short story. It has been felt that there is hardly any work, which is solely, devoted to the study of Urdu novel in context of progressive movement. Some of the founders of progressive literary movement have written powerful novels and established new trends of critical realism and historical and socialist realism in Urdu, during the last fifty years or so. These trends have taken roots and enriched Urdu fiction in many respects. The progressive ideology has changed the whole scenario of Urdu fiction. Agha Shair Qazalbash Dehlavi and many of his works had been translated into other languages. He himself was a good translator who translated many books particularly Holy Quran into poetic form in Urdu. Agha Shair Qazalbash Dehlvi had also translated Umar Khayyam’s Rubai’s entitled. “Khum Kada-E- Khayyam” into Urdu. He was the one of the top ranking writers in the first decade of 20th century. Agha Shair Qazalbash has to be remembered because he can not to be a forgotten because of his immense contribution to overall development of modern Urdu literature. He lives in us as an experience. Hence, he evokes strong reaction from both his admirers as well as critics. For some he appears as a model of poetic excellence. Others attack him as a demagogue who failed. For some his poetry signifies the tremendous emotive response word can command. Other described it as mere smoke without fire. Undoubtedly his poetry congeals the thrilling experience of a tumultuous age of the thirties and forties, yet it has transcended the confines of the time and space. It lives on and on to evoke strong reaction, years after his death.
In fact every poet, above all, is a mirror not only of his life and times but also of the personalities of his own readers and critics who project their own priorities and prejudices in the interpretation and assessment of the poet concerned. Hence, every significant piece of writing has two authors one who gives it words and the others who give it desirers, meaning and interpretation that is its writer and readers. Poetry (and art) is enjoyed and interpreted differently. He is no exception. He appears differently to different set of readers. His poetry bears ample testimony on each score, for who will deny the heartwarming romanticism. And who can ignore the tremendous power- verse and vigor of his revolutionary couplets, and there are hundreds of them, which congeal unprecedented fire and frenzy of an enslaved nation struggling for freedom. The revolutionary fervor is matched by his almost lyrical depiction of nature. Thus the question arises, which is the real Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlvi, the Romantic, the revolutionary or the nature loving mystic and what type of poetic personality emerges from integration of these diverse aspects. I shall not do commentary here on the comments of various critics, which may take us further away from our main problem which is the identity of Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi.
Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi, was the most significant event in post-Iqbal Urdu poetry Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi, was the most important happening in the entire
In his time Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi for the first time projected the image of the robust, enlightened and librated man eager to lead a full and vigorous life by breaking the inhabitation of petty bigot and Puritans. It must be added that his ideas of revolution was not clearly defined, nor was his view of librated wholesome life entirely above criticism for his feudal past and his fragmented thinking hunted him. Nevertheless his secularism, Nationalism, Patriotism and faith in human fraternity shine through the tangled ruin of his poetry. This brings us to another area of his poetry, romanticism, which covers not only his love poetry but also poems on nature and the scenic beauty. For Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi, natural man is the Ideal being and he is entitled to self –fulfillment through enjoyment of the least things in life including wine, healthy human relationship and full realization of his aesthetic self. The warmth of love and tenderness of nature, intoxicating wine and inebriating beauty all enrich human personality, and hence any institution religious or political which hinders the way to his enrichment remain unnatural, even immoral. He challenges all such joy-killing institutions. He firmly believes that while God willed that the blessing bestowed on his creation be carefully enjoyed, the bigots and narrow-minded clergy of various religious groups willed otherwise and impose their own puritan even Spartan laws of abstinence and piety. Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi loved lyrics and his description of nature finds beautiful expression in some of his poems. To quote only two instances, “Khumkadae Khayyam” is not only a piece of best nature poetry in Urdu but also describes eloquently his concepts of good and evil. This also brings us to the discussion of Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi view of freedom and determinism of men’s action. About the existence of God, Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi may be described as an agnostic but he insists that as all human actions are pre-determined, man can hardly be responsible for the deeds or misdeeds. In his several poems, Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi had pointed out that it is in search of self-realization, that man pursues various activities-one goes to Mosque to offer prayers, while other proceed to bar to drink wine. That same desire leads them to two destinations, thus, rending the very rationale of heaven and hell irrelevant. The word of Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi’s Rubaiyat is extensive. He has successfully employed various techniques of dramatic presentation, romantic depiction and picturesque portrayal, thus setting a new precedent in a genre which had been used by stalwarts like Umar Khayyam in Persian, Anis in Urdu has left a distinctive mark of his personality on the genre.
Any discourse, however brief, on Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi will be incomplete without mentioning his contribution to marsiya writing. Marsiya is used for verifying the events of Karbala and martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his companions and even though great poets like Anis wrote Marsiyas, yet it remained mainly poem of sorrow and agony, and the tragic tales of suffering of the noble soul. Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi gave his Marsiya a tone of heroic defiance of social injustice of self-pity and adding an element of selfless devotion to duty and hence transformed them into a source of inspiration for the crusaders of social justice in the contemporary world, thus making them relevant to the modern times. Last but not the least is his contribution to Urdu prose. He deserves to be remembered as the founder editor of the literary journal “Makhzan” which laid the foundation of enlightened thinking in Urdu along with “Nigar”. His prose, though Persianized and a bit archaic, was undoubtedly distinctive. His prose works shall long be remembered as brilliant pieces of prose. The poetic vocabulary of Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi is richest with parallel only in Sauda, Nazeer and Anis. The variety of his moods and his mastery over words of various shades of meanings with diverse linguistic origins still remains rare. To illustrate the point it will suffice to point out that his poems were written in idiomatic language of Mother India in chaste and feminine colloquial speech while coparative analysis of two pieces of his poetry can very well give us an idea of the variety of his vocabulary. In short Agha Shair Qazlebash Dehlavi is likely to be remembered long, not only in the history of Urdu literature as the poet of revolution and romance but also in the subcontinents as one who has inspired a host of his countrymen and brought to them the message of emancipation and enlightenment.
Master of Arts I have done my M.A in history of Urdu literature with special reference to modern Indian history; I studied in M.A course different literary movements, revolutions, historical developments and Islamic history etc. which are associated with Modern India’s literary history. My specialization is Meer Taqi Meer’s writings, (Syed Amanullah Meer Taqi was the only son of a Sufi saint, Meer Muttaqi. When Meer was a little child, his father looking at his face used to say which this fire is burning within your heart that is reflecting on your face. Sufis are lovers of God and so he thought that it was the fire of love for Allah. Living in a atmosphere of Sufism at a very young age had profound effect on Meer. He did not have many desires for worldly things. While on his death bed, his father instructed Meer to "Adopt the path of love. A life without love is an ordeal and losing one's heart in love is the real art. Though this path is riddled with difficulties, love is what drives the world." This is a philosophy reflected by Meer in most of his works. After his father's death, at the age of 11 years, he was abandoned by the people in whose care he had been left. His elder step-brother also treated him badly. Meer left
My whole research work is comprehensive and reveals my critical ability and originality. it will be a must- read for every social scientist who truly want to understand history through history. On the global comparative perspective this is the sine-qua none of contemporary knowledge and research from a variety of disciplines like archaeology, economics, education, evolutionary science, family studies, human ecology, psychology, sociology, history and literature. My research will be indispensable for every one seriously concerned about understanding the place of history and literature in modern world. This is based mainly on the result of original research whether empirical or theoretical development, mediation and consequence of modern Indian history and literature on analysis of their social nature. This extensive research in the history of Urdu literature, comparative historical and sociological lend weight to the important and challenging assertion researched by self notable addition to the growing literature on culture related lingua. In context of Politico-historical problems of sub national population, this research will be extremely useful for anyone willing to grapple with the issues raised by theories of multiculturalism. I could say that this research will play key role in encouraging national reconstruction and integration, liberation, respect for other communities and love for the country. Total communal harmony is its reliability and goal. A sensitive mind had revolted against the rigorous of the tradition education, which aimed at mass education and did not bother about where a child inclination really lay. Meer says “In my versification vocabulary and ideas, I yielded myself to the vagaries of untouched fancy which brought castigation upon me from critics who were learned and uproarious laughter from the witty. My ignorance combined with my homeys turned me into a literary outlaw. Meer was a great admirer of the lyric poetry of Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and Keats. His attempts of getting glimpses of the creation of the European literary giants were however less successful. Dante remained a closed book to him. Hines interested him, but he was “quick-witted” which he did not possess. He had dangerous facility which helped him to guess the meanings so easily. He succeeded however in getting through Heine like a sleepwalker easily crossing unknown paths and he found pleasure. From Goethe as he remarked. “Believe it I found my entrance to the place not like one who has keys for all the doors but as casual visitor who is tolerated in some guest room where he is comfortable but not intimate”. He believes in personal religion. He was free from authority of any damage. Though Meer’s poetic talent was recognized and awarded prestigious praises for literature and persons like Yeast, Rolland, Wells and Bernard Shaw were great votaries of his poetry and maintained correspondence with him. Initially he was not understood in his homeland. There were critics who found his poetry highly metaphysical. Meer lived at a time of fast developing crisis. He saw a new world beyond the present travail and his intimate experience gave to him a world of infinite joy and happiness. The duality of experience inspired Meer’s poetry; for him religion consisted in the intense yearning of a soul for union with the divine for realizing the God within. He says, “The feeling which I always had with a deep satisfaction of personality that flowed with my nature through livings channel of communication from all sides”. Meer did not believe in the mechanized view of “Samsara” the cycle of births and deaths. According to him there could be no continuity of desires, passions, wealth and name in any future life, no chance of completing one’s life unfinished task in the life hereafter, no persistence after death for death closes the account of his life. He said, “I shall not come to them with my claim of immortality”. The only survival for him was rebirth in God through love. He condemned the caste system and its basic concept of inequality of man. He repudiated the idea that the material world was a square and life a journey through the value of pain i.e. sorrows. He disapproved of the ascetical view of life and the belief that men’s perfection can be achieved through resuscitation. Both through his powerfully moving verse and persuasive prose, he taught his countrymen to be courageous, self reliant, free and worthy of the personality which they bore as men. He emphasized certain basic truth which man may ignore only at their peril. His genius enriched whatever it touched like the sun; he shed light and warmth on his age and vitalized the material and moral soil of his land. He revealed unknown horizons of thoughts and dismantled the arch that divides the east from the west. Meer was a great educationist; he wanted to build an institution, which encouraged free inquiry into knowledge. He was particularly aware of the need for a revolutionized primary education. His efforts were crowned with success on a large scale and education institutions at different places were established. Where scholars from all lands could pursue their study. Meer was observed by rhythm in poetry, in art and in music. Different libraries and academies have large collections of his work and contribution, which are uncountable.
India, the land of ancient culture and civilization holds a comprehensive, extraordinary and unique place in context to peace. Thousands of years ago the message of peace conveyed by this country had a deep impact on the entire world. The main reason behind this influence is the approach towards peace, which has directly or indirectly been built by contribution of knowledge based on real experience. It may be clarified by the work and contribution of Khuda-e-Sukhan Meer Taqi Meer. Generally peace is termed as a condition that is opposite to conflict, struggle, war or violence. As a scholar says it is symbolic of an atmosphere free from conflict, struggle, in the same way another scholar believes, peace is generally, negatively conceived as absence of war and struggle in other words, peace means absence of actual violence. All this, even then, does not express the complete meaning of peace. This is true that there is absence of conflict, struggle, war or violence all this even then does not express the complete meaning of peace. This is true that there should be absence of conflict, struggle, war or violence but co-operation and harmony is essential, that too, form inner core of heart so that even in general state man’s heart is at peace and he may realize peace in thoughts and deed and harmony are imbedded in the poetry of Meer. I mean to say that meaning of peace, in general condition is fulfilled only when it exists in man’s heart in his daily practice or action and thoughts. In the words of Vinoba Bhave: By peace or shanti do not mean something static or the perpetuation of the status quo. Shanti means something dynamic, something’s that develops the force of the individual, which develops the dynamic strength of the people to a degree that will enable them to meet any situation. Mahatma Gandhi accepting it as a positive value concept in morality and ethics and proclaims that the impulse behind Shanti is a desire for spiritual contentment, an impulse free from the desire for the enjoyment and egoism that is why he has laid emphasis an realization of the feeling of brotherhood and has desired that a man should identify himself not only with all existing life on earth and this identification is the symbol of harmony. Just we have discussed that in all branches of Meer Taqi Meer poetry it is proclaimed that ‘man’ is the center of the deed and on of the basis of the same he gets results whether he is good or bad. He is superior among all living beings and occupies the most important place. It is expected from man that keeping his existence safe he should proceed toward all round development. It is also expected from him that he should attain the real aim of his life. How should he do this? The profounder of Indian philosophy have guided him from time to time in this regard. On the basis of their experience that they gained through knowledge and deeds. Harmony and other values are supplementary to non-violence. Whether it is forbearance or tolerance, the principal value of Islamic philosophy or the (compassion) a value established by Meer Taqi Meer have been supplementary to non-violence and in this way they all proved to be the best, effective and strong base for harmony. And why it would not be so? After all the aim of all philosophies is peace. Today when we talk about world peace we feel that it will not be possible unless each and everyone gets equal opportunities for his/her progress or unless everyone is sure of fulfillment of his/her basic needs. Peace is not possible unless everyone has liberty of self expression, or it is just a dream if each and everyone are not accorded freedom, justice and rights. I would like to clarify that all above-mentioned values supplementary to non-violence, were established for the reason that everyone could easily be brought under the circumference of equality, freedom, justice and rights including the rights of self-expression i.e. without exercising any force or without inflicting/using any violence. Not only this goodness like equal respect for every one’s faith and complete absence of fundamentalism and unity of mankind etc. were propounded by the leading figures of the society through above values. From time to time Meer Taqi Meer also shared their experience with people so that he may be inspired by it. These values are as important today as it was in the past or during the time of their establishment. Even today if we inculcate these values in our lives, according to our circumstances and need we can create a good atmosphere of harmony and march forward in the direction of peace.
In fact for thousand years Indians firmly believed and experienced that non-violence is an immortal value permanently present in human nature. It is not only an essential condition for existence but also for all round development of human beings and to reach the real the goal i.e. peace. That is why the profounder made relentless efforts to base the day-to-day activities of people upon non-violence and its supplementary values. In the task they not only achieved the expected they were able to set such examples, knowledge of which surprises us even today. In those days the means of transport and communication were very limited and underdeveloped. But they were able to communicate the message of ahimsa in a simple way, along with Indians, to inhabitants of different parts of the world. But as has been stated they did so by creating a conducive atmosphere as per the demand of times and country’s circumstances. In this regard we can quote countless examples and if we do so then definitely many volumes can be written. That is why here I shall only quote two great men of all ages. In the time of Mahatma Buddha the state of Indian society had seriously deteriorated. People had started going against the established value system for the safety of existence and progress. They were getting avert to non-violence and positive action. Beside inequality there was exploitation so much so that there was inexpressible extreme of it in human acts. At such a time Gautama Buddha propagated the value of Karuna that is compassion, keeping in view the circumstances and need of time. He set examples for all people, big and small, by his own behavior in life and on the basis of his conduct, was able to launch an effective and strong movement to reform the society. From the point of view of that time, compassion was the best expression of non-violence and a good mean of establishing peace. As a result after individual awakening people of
Bachelor of Arts Honurs, I have done B.A (H) in Urdu literature with special reference to Islamic history, which is main source of medieval Indian history. The Arabic word Islam means peace and total submission to the God’s will. The religion of Islam is the complete acceptance of the teaching and guidance of God as revealed to his Prophet Mohammad. Muslim is one who believes in one God and strives for total reorganization of his life according to this revealed guidance and the sayings of the Prophet. He also works for building a human society on the same basis and defends its spirits. The word Allah is the proper name of God in Arabic. It is a unique term because it has no plural or feminine gender. In the seventh century A.D. the holy prophet Mohammad (s.a) laid the foundation of Islam in a predominantly pagan Arabia within a century of his death in
Conclusions: Overall my whole research works is comprehensive and reveals my critical ability and originality. It will be a must read for every social scientist that truly wants to understand history through Urdu and Urdu through history. On the global cooperative perspective this is the sine-qua none of contemporary knowledge and research for a variety of disciplines like archeology, economics, education, evolutionary science, family studies, human ecology, sociology, history and literature. My research is indispensable for any one seriously concerned about- understanding the place of history and literature in modern world, this being based mainly on the results of a original research; whether empirical or theoretical development in modern Indian history and literature on the analysis of the social nature. This extensive research in Urdu, the history of Urdu literature, comparative history and sociology lend weight to the important and challenging assertions based on research of growing literature on culture and related lingua. Politico-historical problems of sub-national population that this research will be extremely useful for anyone willing to grapple with the issues raised by theories of multiculturalism. I could say that this research will also play key role in appreciation of modern Indian history. Its prime importance encourages national reconstructions, integration, liberation, and respect for other communities and love for country. Total communal harmony is its primary aim and goal.

Their seminal research will show a guiding light to the modern society whose writings will reflect a progressive approach and imagination. I am looking at the modern and progressive world living in conservative and stagnant society. The great writers of the world, thus, looked at modernity through the medieval window; they also imbibed discipline, talked about social harmony and integrity in the light of teachings of different religions and through their top ranking writings. Their imagination is educative, informative, and scientific in nature. The bottom line of my hard creative and research works, thus, casts an image of harmonious, disciplined, scientific, rational and modernized society based on human dignity & justice. I thoroughly enjoy my academic life with my books. It has opened new vistas of thought and work. My education and books provide me golden opportunity to express and write independently.
God bless our institution which will be a bastion of corporate life, professionalism, academic excellence and I will contribute to achieving this goal to the best of my ability.
