Man has&nbsp; been in travelling from the very beginning. The exodus of Hazrat Adam(AS), from paradise to earth was&nbsp; probably first journey of the human being. Although this shifting to earth was due to some misunderstanding or sin. Since then man has been travelling from place to place. Travelling is also&nbsp; ordained in Surah Anaam, verse- 11, which says, “Take to the road and see the result of those who lie”. By travelling one gets guidance and experience, thus culture and civilisation&nbsp; developed gradually and slowly by the experiences shared by predecessors in different ways from time to time. With the passage of time men learnt to write and the facts were written on different things. Then paper was prepared to write on.</p> <p>After long span of time history, civilisation and culture had been written&nbsp; in the shape of&nbsp; diary, letters and safarnama (Travelogues). In this paper it has been pin pointed that&nbsp; how could be presented civilisation, culture and history in travelogues by the literary figures. Travelogues are catchy branch of literature and many readers are fond of this branch of literature.</p> ڈاکٹر اسرار احمد کولاچی Copyright (c) 2025 Me'yar معیار http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/7207 Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0500 علی اکبر عباس کی رچنا کے موضوعات اور اسلوب کا تنقیدی و تجزیاتی مطالعہ http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/7208 <p>Ali Akbar Abbas is a renowned Urdu poet since 1960s.

The roots of the conflict trace back to the Treaty of Lahore in 1846, under which the British sold the region of Kashmir to the Hindu Dogra ruler, Gulab Singh, for 7.5 million rupees. Under Dogra rule, Kashmiri Muslims faced extreme oppression—socially, politically, economically, and religiously. Excessive taxation, denial of educational and religious freedoms, and systemic discrimination forced many Muslims to migrate or live under severe hardship.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0in .5in .0001pt .5in;">The 20th century saw the emergence of political awareness among Kashmiris, fueled by the efforts of leaders like Allama Iqbal and various local movements. Significant events such as the 1931 protests and the formation of the All India Kashmir Committee marked the rise of the Kashmiri freedom movement. Despite brief unity under the All Jammu and Kashmir Conference, political divisions emerged, particularly between Sheikh Abdullah’s National Conference and Chaudhry Ghulam Abbas's revived Muslim Conference.</p> <p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0in .5in .0001pt .5in;">In 1946, widespread rebellion broke out against the Dogra regime, with several areas being liberated by local fighters. As the British announced the partition of India, Muslim-majority regions were to join Pakistan. However, Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Kashmir, delayed accession, fearing the state's likely integration into Pakistan. Although Pakistan agreed to a standstill agreement, India did not respond and allegedly plotted Kashmir’s annexation. These historical events set the foundation for the unresolved Kashmir dispute, which continues to affect regional peace and stability to this day.</p> ڈاکٹر طاہر محمود Copyright (c) 2025 Me'yar معیار http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/7210 Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0500 کارل مارکس کی نظریاتی تھیوری (مارکسی تصورات اور اردو ادب کی سماجی تشکیل) http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/7211 <h3>Marxism is not just a theory, but also a social and economic system. Its basic element is not just science, but also some important values. If we examine it, it is not just a collection of scientific laws, such as Einstein's theory of relativity or the laws of physics, but it is also a bearer of extremely important values ​​​​of human life. It is not an unchanging or rigid system; rather, its concepts undergo constant transformation throughout their existence. One of the fundamental principles of Marxism is how we perceive things and each other. Marx also stated that nothing is permanent or eternal, and nothing is absolute or sacred. We cannot call Marxism a roadmap for the future, nor can we reorganize our present society based solely on it. It is neither a form of government nor does it believe in a state that governs every aspect of our lives. Karl Marx's ideological theory reveals the conflict between the skilled and the bourgeois classes. According to Karl Marx, the real cause of all the deprivations of the working class is the capitalist system, which is ruthless because the capitalist has complete control over ownership and the means of production. Therefore, the status of the worker is that of a part, and as long as he is capable of work, he is used, and when his organs become weak, he is excluded from this production system. By taking advantage of this division, capitalism also influences economic, social, moral, and diplomatic systems.</h3> ڈاکٹر وقار احمد; روبینہ شاہین, ارشاد بی بی Copyright (c) 2025 Me'yar معیار http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/7211 Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0500
