Salaam to All, College, the very name of the place has somehow fascination attached to it. College life is glorified and glamorized in such a way that students expect it to be something liberating and amazing. Starting a college is not a piece of cake nor it is some journey to a haunted space, it is period of transition from teenage to adulthood. It can be the most influential, most beautiful and most learning experience of your life. Advice for College Students: Starting college can be overwhelming and the new environment can also prove to be somewhat challenging. First of make sure you have all the things you need for college and by that I don’t just mean material things. College students need good emotional and psychological training to cope up with the sudden transition in their lives. The change of environment and the new found freedom can be overwhelming to great extent. The liberty that comes from being in college can cause the students to get attracted towards outlawed b...

Salaam to All, Education System in Pakistan has always been a subject of great importance when it comes to the country’s development and progress. Looking at the situation of current literacy rate in the country, there are some educational initiatives taken by a few institutions that have led to an improvement in its overall situation. The Largest Educational Network in Pakistan operated by Punjab Group of Colleges is contributing towards making education accessible in the country. Education issues and Problems: Education issues and problems involve the inaccessibility of the right resources.

That is one of the major drawbacks of education system in pakistan. How to Improve Education System in Pakistan?

Salaam to All, In 1992 some 35 million Pakistanis , or about 30 percent of the population, were unable to afford nutritionally adequate food or to afford any nonfood items at all. Of these, 24.3 million lived in rural areas, where they constituted 29 percent of the population. Urban areas, with one-third of the national population , had a poverty rate of 26 percent. Between 1985 and 1991 , about 85 percent of rural residents and 100 percent of urban dwellers had access to some kind of Western or biomedical health care; but 12.9 million people had no access to health services. Only 45 percent of rural people had safe water as compared with 80 percent of urbanites, leaving 55 million without potable water. Also in the same period, only 10 percent of rural residents had access to modern sanitation while 55 percent of city residents did; a total of 94.9 million people hence were without sanitary facilities. In the early 1990s, the leading causes of death remained gastroenteritis, respi...

Salaam to All, The most visible groups of non-Muslim minorities are Hindus and Christians . Hindus are found largely in the interior of Sindh and in the vicinity of Quetta in Balochistan. Christians, representing almost all West European dominations, are found throughout the country; many are engaged in menial work. Other minorities include Zoroastrians ( also called Parsis ), largely concentrated in Karachi , and members of groups relatively recently designated as non-Muslim, notably the Ahmadiyyas. The various religious minority groups have secured separate representation in national and provincial assemblies but still have limited influence on national policy. They finally united around a common issue in October 1992 when the government of Nawaz Sharif decreed that religious affiliation would be indicated on identity cards. These cards were needed for a range of activities, including attending school, opening a bank account, registering to vote, casting a vote, and obtaining a pas...

Salaam to All , From the outset, politics and religion have been intertwined both conceptually and practically in Islam. Because the Prophet established a government in Medina, precedents of governance and taxation exist. Through the history of Islam, from the Ummayyad (661-750) and Abbasid empires ( 750-1258 ) to the Mughals ( 1526- 1858 ) and the Ottomans (1300-1923), religion and statehood have been treated as one. Indeed, one of the beliefs of Islam is that the purpose of the state is to provide an environment where Muslims can properly practice their religion. If a leader fails in this, the people have a right to depose him. In 1977 the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto outlawed alcohol and changed the " day off " from Sunday to Friday, but no substantive Islamic reform program was implemented prior to General Zia's Islamization program. Starting in February 1979, new penal measures based on Islamic principles of justice went into effect. These carried considerabl...

Salaam to All , Islam is the largest and the state religion of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan . Pakistan has been called a " global center for political Islam ". About 97.0% of Pakistanis are Muslims. Pakistan has the second largest number of Muslims in the world after Indonesia. The majority are Sunni (75–95%) while Shias make up between 5–20% and Ahmadis (considered by the constitution of Pakistan to be non-Muslims) are 1–2%.   Islam was brought to the South Asian subcontinent in the eighth century by wandering Sufi mystics known as pir. As in other areas where it was introduced by Sufis, Islam to some extent syncretized with preIslamic influences, resulting in a religion traditionally more flexible than in the Arab world. Two Sufis whose shrines receive much national attention are Data Ganj Baksh in Lahore (ca. eleventh century) and Shahbaz Qalander in Sehwan , Sindh (ca. twelfth century). The Muslim poet-philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal first proposed ...

Salaam to All , WHEN BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGIST Sir Mortimer Wheeler was commissioned in 1947 by the government of Pakistan to give a historical account of the then new country, he entitled his work 5 Thousand Years of Pakistan . Indeed, Pakistan has a history that can be dated back to the Indus Valley civilization (ca. 2500-1600 B.C.), the principal sites of which lay in present-day Sindh and Punjab provinces. Pakistan was later the entryway for the migrating pastoral tribes known as Indo-Aryans, or simply Aryans, who brought with them and developed the rudiments of the religio-philosophical system of what later evolved into Hinduism . They also brought an early version of Sanskrit, the base of Urdu , Punjabi , and Sindhi languages that are spoken in much of Pakistan today. Hindu rulers were eventually displaced by Muslim invaders, who, in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries, entered northwestern India through the same passes in the mountains used earlier by the Indo-Aryans. The c...
