The document summarizes the causes and key events of the 1965 India-Pakistan War. The main causes of the war included the Kashmir issue, hostility between Hindus and Muslims following the partition of India, and India's recent defeat by China in 1962. The war began in August 1965 when Indian forces crossed into Pakistan administered Kashmir. Initially India had success in Kashmir but Pakistan counterattacked successfully in Punjab. As air forces from both sides entered the conflict, the war escalated. The war ended in January 1966 with the Tashkent Agreement between India and Pakistan. The agreement was unpopular in Pakistan and weakened the political standing of Ayub Khan. In its aftermath, both countries increased defense spending and India strengthened ties
The Kashmir conflict involves four parties - India, Pakistan, China, and Kashmiris. Kashmir was historically ruled by a Hindu maharaja but has a majority Muslim population. At independence, the maharaja signed Kashmir to India but Pakistan disputes this. The region has been a source of conflict through three wars and ongoing tensions. Both countries claim the region but the UN has called for a plebiscite to let Kashmiris decide their own fate. The dispute remains unresolved with no clear solution in sight.

Importance And Comparison Between Northern And Western Mountains of Pakistan ...AmeersHamza
The document compares and contrasts the Northern and Western mountains of Pakistan. The Northern mountains are higher in altitude, averaging 6000 meters, and are covered in rock, ice, and glaciers. They are richer in water resources and have cooler climates, supporting less population but more agriculture and forests. The Western mountains have lower and barer heights, scarcer water availability, and a dry climate unable to support much vegetation beyond scattered plants. They are richer in mineral resources like limestone but have been less explored due to lack of financing. Overall, the document examines the topographical differences between the two mountainous regions.
The Khilafat movement was launched in British India in 1919 to preserve the Ottoman Caliphate and Muslim control over holy sites after World War I. Hindus and Muslims collaborated in mass demonstrations and boycotts to pressure the British. The movement's goals were to keep the Ottoman Khilafat intact, preserve its territories, and ensure non-Muslim control over holy places. Though popular and involving leaders like Gandhi, the movement declined after violence in 1921-1922 and the abolition of the Caliphate in 1923, exposing divisions between Hindus and Muslims.

Ummema Atif presented on the languages of Pakistan. The national language is Urdu, which was chosen to promote unity across provinces. The main regional languages are Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, and Balochi. Each has a long history and cultural significance in their respective regions. After Pakistan's independence, various efforts were made such as radio, television, and literary organizations to develop and modernize the regional languages.
Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, though Punjabi is the most widely spoken first language. Several other major languages are also spoken in Pakistan, including Sindhi in Sindh province, Balochi in Balochistan province, and Pashto in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and parts of Balochistan. Throughout history, the languages spoken in the region have been influenced by those of invading groups, such as Persian during Mughal rule. Today, the government promotes Urdu as the lingua franca and medium of administration, education, media, and literature to help unite the country's diverse populations.
This document discusses the various languages spoken in Pakistan. It begins by noting that Urdu is the national language but that many other languages are spoken regionally, including Balochi, Sindhi, Punjabi, and Pashto. It then provides brief overviews of each of these languages, describing their origins and influences. Balochi originated from tribes migrating from Iran and is spoken in Balochistan. Sindhi has been influenced by Arabic and Persian. Punjabi has influences from Persian, Arabic, Hindi, and others. Pashto is spoken in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and parts of Balochistan and has been influenced by Arabic, Persian, and Greek.
The document discusses the Balochi language, including its history, dialects, and current status. Balochi originated in Iran and is now spoken by approximately 20 million people across Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries. It is divided into several dialects including Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern Balochi. Efforts are being made to promote Balochi, including teaching some primary education in Balochi and establishing organizations to publish and support Balochi literature. However, challenges remain as many parents still prefer their children to learn Urdu and English.
Urdu was chosen as the national language of Pakistan for several reasons:
1) It has a long history in the region dating back to the Mughal period and was widely used and understood.
2) It has a rich literary tradition with some of the earliest poets writing in Urdu, establishing it as an important language.
3) It was closely associated with the Pakistan movement and helping to unite Muslims, so it was seen as an appropriate unifying language for the new nation of Pakistan.
The presentation educates the viewer on the multi-lingual based Pakistani Culture. Introduces them with various languages spoken in the South Asian Country.
Balochi is the language spoken in Balochistan province of Pakistan. There are two main dialects of Balochi - Sulemanki and Mekrani. Balochi was brought to the region by nomadic tribes from north-west Iran who rarely settled in one place for long, contributing to Balochi remaining primarily an oral language with little early development of poetry and prose. After Pakistan's partition, steps were taken to promote Balochi, including starting Balochi language radio broadcasts from Karachi and Quetta television, establishing literary associations, and the emergence of modern Balochi poets and writers working to advance the language.
Abdul Karim Baryalai is a Pakistani scholar who has extensive academic qualifications including multiple master's degrees and certificates in subjects like Pashto literature, theology, and Arabic. He has over 35 years of experience in media, academics and has held various government positions. Baryalai has published several books and hundreds of papers on topics related to Pashto, Balochi, and Urdu literature and the history and politics of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Pushto is one of the national languages of Afghanistan, primarily spoken in the east, south, and southeast of the country by 35-60% of the population. In Pakistan, it is spoken as a first language by about 15.42% of people, mainly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA, and northern Balochistan. Pushto is an Eastern Iranian language related to Ossetian and Yaghnobi. It has two major dialects, Western and Eastern, and is written in the Persian Arabic script with some modified letters. The first written records of Pushto date to the 16th century, and notable early poets include Khushkhal Khan Khattak in the 17
Pakistan has several dialects that are variations of languages used by different regions and social groups. The national language is Urdu, which has four main dialects: Dakhani, Rekhta, Modern Vernacular Urdu, and Pakistani dialect. Other prominent languages include Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, and Balochi, which are the provincial languages. Additionally, regional dialects such as Kashmiri, Brahui, Hindko, Shina, and Saraiki are spoken in different areas of Pakistan. English was previously an official language but the government announced plans to make Urdu the sole official language.
The document discusses the complex linguistic situation and language issues in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan emerged as a multilingual country after independence, inheriting English as the colonial administrative language and Urdu retaining symbolic value as a Muslim identity marker. Major languages spoken include Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi, and others. However, language boundaries are blurred due to population movements. The language policy emphasizes religious identity over linguistic ones, and language continues to be a sensitive issue in Pakistan.
The document discusses the history and development of the Bengali language from ancient to modern times. It covers:
- The origins and evolution of Bengali from Magadhi Prakrit and its official status in Bangladesh, India, and other countries.
- Key periods of ancient, medieval, and modern Bengali literature and important early texts like the Charyapada poems from the 9th century.
- Dialect variations across Bengal and the standardization of written Bengali based on the dialect of Nadia district.
This document analyzes the integration of Urdu lexicon into English language usage in Pakistan. It presents data collected from Pakistani publications over 7 years, analyzing borrowing in categories like articles, descriptive labels, edibles, law/order terms, marriages and more. It finds borrowing occurs to fill lexical gaps and convey local atmosphere. Writers deliberately use Urdu terms and integrate them into English through italicization, quotation marks, capitalization or underlining. Grammatical aspects like noun pluralization and adjectives functioning as nouns also reflect Urdu influence on Pakistani English.
Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages still in existence and originated in India. It was the language of religious texts and ceremonies from as early as 2000 BC. While Sanskrit declined as a spoken language in India after the 1st millennium BC, it remained an important language for religion and literature. Sanskrit was written in various scripts depending on the region but did not have a standardized script until the 19th century. It continues to be used predominantly for religious purposes today.
The document discusses the development of modern Indian languages and literature. It begins by discussing the evolution of languages in northern India from Apabhramsa to forms like Braj Bhasha, Avadhi, and Khadi Boli. It then discusses the development of Urdu through interaction between settlers and local populations. Urdu became popular in the Mughal courts and produced famous poets like Ghalib. The document also discusses the growth of regional languages under the influence of the Bhakti movement and how poets like Tulsidas, Surdas, and Kabir composed devotional works that shaped culture. It traces the evolution of Hindi and contributions of various poets and saints in northern India to vernacular literature.
The document summarizes the key languages spoken in Karachi, Pakistan. It discusses 12 major languages, including Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi, Memoni, Seraiki, Bengali, and others. It also provides recommendations for overcoming language differences, such as promoting unity, faith, discipline, honesty, loyalty, love, and patience. Using one's mother tongue is emphasized as an important way to reduce communication gaps between language groups.

Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

7. Promotion Of Regional Languages Since 1947
Since 1947, The government of Pakistan has took strong measures for the development and
promotion of its regional languages: Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto and Balochi. Regional Languages
form the basis of cultural identity of Pakistan along with Urdu. With the declaration of urdu as the
national language , government decided to promote Regional languages, too. Sindhi , among all
Regional languages, was the first to have adopted Arabic script . This reflects it's close Association
with Islam . Several sufi poets, such as Shah Abdul Latif and Schal Saramast Wrote Sindhi verse.
Therefore, it was important to Promote it. Pashto is spoken in Khyper Pakhtunkhawa and its
Literature Carries a strong element of resistance against foreign rule. Such an element of resistance
is quite visible in the poetry of Khushhal Khan Khattak and Rehman Baba. This way Pashto became
associated with the Pakistan Movement. Balochi had traditionally been underdeveloped due to a
lack of its preservation in written form. Also , the people of balochistan had to be assured of their
significance as a cultural unit of Pakistan and so, It had to be a promoted and has been.
