Review: The End of India

This is the Urdu translation of Khushwant singh's latest controversial book The End of India, The End of India provides a fearless, sometimes vulgar, admission and realistic portrayal of the cumulative growth of Hindu extremism in India, especially through the past two decades. I call it an "admission" - before anything else - insofar as Singh does not write like some highbrow, accusatory outsider to the Indian cauldron; he views himself as much a victim as a default social accessory to the declining communal situation in India.
"India is going to the dogs," he screams, adding, "and unless a miracle saves us, the country will break up. It will not be Pakistan or any other foreign power that will destroy us; we will commit hara-kiri" (pp 3-4).
The immediate cause for Singh's despondence is the Gujarat riots of 2002 and the politics that followed them. In the riots, Hindus mutilated and sexually tortured a great many Muslims in addition to massacring more than 3,000 of them, often with the support of the state. The riots themselves were in retaliation against the torching of a train allegedly performed by some Muslim miscreants at the railway station in Godhra. The fire killed scores of politically mobilized Hindus that were going by the train to the controversial religious site of Ayodhya.
"The carnage in Gujarat ... and the subsequent landslide victory of Narendra Modi in the elections will spell doom for our country," Singh warns (p 3). Throughout the rest of the book, however, he goes well beyond auditing the forces of Hindutva to give us a sketch of the evolution of the religious question through the regional history of the state of Punjab, the subcontinental Independence Movement, and the history of post-colonial India.

Review of Ghazaliyat Hafiz Shiraz

This is an Urdu translation of Ghazaliyat Hafiz Shiraz , translated by Dr. Khalid Hameed,  Hafiz Muhammad Shamas Uddin alias Hafiz Shirazi hails from Shiraz, Iran. His date of birth is not clear in the history. He was probably born between 724 AH to 729 AH. His father name was Bahauddin, who was a merchant in Isfahan, Iran.He left some 500 Ghazals, 42 Rubaiyees, and a few Ghaseedeh's, composed over a period of 50 years. Hafez only composed when he was divinely inspired, and therefore he averaged only about 10 Ghazals per year. His focus was to write poetry worthy of the Beloved. In his childhood he had memorized the Koran by listening to his father's recitations of it, therefore he gained the title of Hafez (a title given to those who had memorized the Koran by heart.). He also had memorized many of the works of his hero, Saadi, as wells as Attar, Rumi and Nizami.

Review: Borha aur Samandar

Borha aur Samandar is Urdu translation of Old man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. the urdu translated version is written by Shahid Hameed. Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American journalist, novelist, and short-story writer. His economical and understated style—which he termed the iceberg theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two non-fiction works. Three of his novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea (1952), Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in two successive plane crashes that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway maintained permanent residences in Key West, Florida (in the 1930s) and Cuba (in the 1940s and 1950s). In 1959, he bought a house in Ketchum, Idaho, where, in mid-1961, he shot himself in the head.

Aflatoon's Riyasat Review:

Riyasat is the Urdu translation of Aflatoon or Plato's book The Republic, The Republic is a Socratic dialogue, written by Plato around 380 BC, concerning justice, the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man.
Along with his teacher, Socrates, and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the very foundations of Western philosophy and science. Alfred North Whitehead once noted: "the safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato. In addition to being a foundational figure for Western science, philosophy, and mathematics, Plato has also often been cited as one of the founders of Western religion and spirituality. Friedrich Nietzsche, amongst other scholars, called Christianity, "Platonism for the people. Plato's influence on Christian thought is often thought to be mediated by his major influence on Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the most important philosophers and theologians in the history of Christianity.
Plato was the innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms in philosophy, which originate with him. Plato appears to have been the founder of Western political philosophy, with his Republic, and Laws among other dialogues, providing some of the earliest extant treatments of political questions from a philosophical perspective. Plato's own most decisive philosophical influences are usually thought to have been Socrates, Parmenides, Heraclitus and Pythagoras, although few of his predecessors' works remain extant and much of what we know about these figures today derives from Plato himself.

Rich dad Poor dad Review:

Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story of a person (the narrator and author) who has two fathers: the first was his biological father – the poor dad - and the other was the father of his childhood best friend, Mike – the rich dad. Both fathers taught the author how to achieve success but with very disparate approaches. 
It became evident to the author which father's approach made more financial sense. Throughout the book, the author compares both fathers – their principles, ideas, financial practices, and degree of dynamism and how his real father, the poor and struggling but highly educated man, paled against his rich dad in terms of asset building and business acumen.
The author compares his poor dad to those people who are perpetually scampering in the Rat Race, helplessly trapped in a vicious cycle of needing more but never able to satisfy their dreams for wealth because of one glaring lack: financial literacy. They spend so much time in school learning about the problems of the world, but have not acquired any valuable lessons about money, simply because it is never taught in school. His rich dad, by contrast, represents the independently wealthy core of society who deliberately takes advantage of the power of corporations and their personal knowledge of tax and accounting (or that of their financial advisers) which they manipulate to their advantage.This is the Complete Urdu Translation of this Great book.

Pakistan Anti Terrorism Act Review:

Anti-terrorism legislation are laws with the purpose of fighting terrorism. They usually, if not always, follow specific bombings or assassinations. Anti-terrorism legislation usually includes specific amendments allowing the state to bypass its own legislation when fighting terrorism-related crimes, under the grounds of necessity.
Because of this, suspension of regular procedure, such legislation is sometimes criticized as a form of lois scélérates which may unjustly repress all kinds of popular protests. Critics often allege that anti-terrorism legislation endangers democracy by creating a state of exception that allows authoritarian style of government.

These Singing exercises are written to familiarize the pupil with the notes so as to avoid giving him two difficulties to overcome at once the length and pitch of notes; they should therefore be practiced exclusively whilst the first chapters of Rudiments are being studied. 
When the pupil can pitch the notes easily he should be exercised in beating the measures of two, three or four pulses, counting these beats instead of naming or sol-faing the notes. For this exercise strict evenness in the duration of the beats must be observed/1* This first task accomplished with care will ensure great facility for all that follows; it is, besides, for teachers or mothers of families who commence young children in this essential part of the art to direct them according to their youthful intelligence.

The Pathan English Version Review:

This is the English version of Ghani Khan's book 'The Pathan', The folk-songs of a nation are its spiritual self-portraits, provided the race is primitive enough to be honest. It is easy to be honest in feeling __ one cannot help it __ but extremely difficult to be so in the expression of it, specially as men become civilized. When custom begins to dictate to instinct, when the eyes look more at the listeners than the face of the beloved, that is time when convention overcomes music, ethics overcome passion, and desire is substituted for love. So if you find the Pathan folk-songs too brutal and naked direct, do not forget that he lives a straight and primitive life in a lonely valley or small village, and is too busy worrying about the next thing to shoot, to find time to be civilized.
Let us go to his valley in Dir. There he is__ walking towards us, of medium height and sensitive build. He has long locks, neatly oiled and combed, wrapped in a red silk kerchief which is twisted round the head like the crown of Caesar. He wears a flower in his hair and collyrium in his eye. His lips are dyed red with walnut bark. He carries his sitar in his hand and his rifle at his shoulder. You would think he is very effeminate until you looked at his eyes. They are clear, manly and bold. They do not know fear, and won’t live long enough to know death. He pays the most lavish price for the made-up eyes and painted lips. This son of the bravest tribe of the Pathans never takes cover in

a fight and always laughs and sings when he is frightened. He will soon die fighting, a man as brave and strong and handsome as he, for he knows only how to love and laugh and fight and nothing else. He is taught nothing else. Let us listen to his song: 

O the flowers are lined
In your hair
And your eyes, O my beloved,
Are like the flowers of Narcissus.
O my priceless rare treasure,
O my life, O my soul,
O my little mountain poppy,
You are my morning star,
You the flower on the slope,
You the white snow on the peak.
Your laughter is the waterfall,
Your whispers the evening breeze.
O my branch of apple-blossom,
Who split moonlight in your eyes?
O my little butterfly,
Come and live in my heart.
