This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arain/Rain is an agrarian tribe mainly settled in Punjab and parts of Sindh (now Pakistan). The estimated population of the tribe is more than 10 million. With the partition of India, the bulk of the community moved from East Punjab to West Punjab. The book elaborates all theories related to the origin of the community that has been proposed in last hundred years citing oriental and British accounts. During 18th & 19th centuries, the area was widely popular as Rohilkhand after the name of “Rohilla Afghans” once ruled the region in the 18th century. Its a story of the diasporic community formed in late 18th and early 19th century by few hundred Arain families immigrated from Punjab. The Terai plains provided an opportunity to thrifty, hardworking skilled agrarian immigrants to rose as a most disciplined zamindar of British governed districts of Pilibhit and Bareilly of United Province (British India). Interestingly, the members of the diasporic community were integrated with the social movement started as Anjuman-e- Arain, Hind in 1890 AD under the leadership of “Mian Family of Baghbanpura, Lahore” in Punjab. The social movement of the community gained the impetus when Sir Mian Mohammad Shafi accepted the leadership of his tribe as President of Anjuman-e-Arain, Hind in 1915 AD. An active member of Muslim League, All India Mohammedan Educational Conference, and President of All India Urdu association marked him as one of the most distinguished faces of Muslim Politics in Colonial India. In corridors of Colonial bureaucracy, he was elected as vice-president of Viceroy Executive Council in 1922 AD, a position attained by few Indian at that time. The leadership of Sir Mian Mohammad Shafi had a significant impact on the social structure of Arains even in Rohilkhand, the geographically far off place from Lahore. With changing backdrop of Indian politics, the small diaspora of Rohilkhand Arains also faced the brunt Indian partition and then abolishment of colonial zamindari system in 1952 AD. The confiscation of large zamindari estates compelled the young educated descendants to take a route to the newly created state of Pakistan. Around fifty percent of the youngster of the Arain population from District Pilibhit and Bareilly moved to Pakistan. The remaining half of the Indian side tried to integrate them with the fastest growing country delivering the growth rate of more than eight percent in last two decades. The tribe on the other side although prospered in the sixties and seventies but find themselves in a difficult situation in last two decades as a part of Urdu-speaking community in Sindh. The last chapter and appendix include selected biographical accounts, their affiliations, political participation from early 20th century up to the post-independent India & Pakistan. The globalization provided an opportunity for educated families to relocate to western countries mainly Canada and United States. One can find Rohilkhand Arains both from Indian and Pakistan side in South Asian hubs of Mississauga and Houston carrying interesting folklores of their history and background. The nucleus of the community still dwells in the villages of District Pilibhit, Bareilly, and Nainital. Their language, cuisine, and customs reflected the unique blend created as a mix of Punjabi and local influences in last two centuries. The book will provide an evidence-based articulation to the history, culture and social background of the Arain community of Rohilkhand where youngsters are relying on multiple verbal narratives of history coming from previous generations. In Pakistan, the larger Arain tribe of Punjab will find a historical relationship with Rohilkhand Arains that are now labeled as Urdu-speaking Muhajirs from United province.

Book excerpt: This handbook provides a comprehensive and cutting-edge strengths-based resource on the subject of Indigenous resilience. Indigenous Peoples demonstrate considerable resilience despite the social, health, economic, and political disparities they experience within surrounding settler societies. This book considers Indigenous resilience in many forms: cultural, spiritual, and governance traditions remain in some communities and are being revitalized in others to reclaim aspects of their cultures that have been outlawed, suppressed, or undermined. It explores how Indigenous people advocate for social justice and work to shape settler societies in ways that create a more just, fair, and equitable world for all human and non-human beings. This book is divided into five sections: From the past to the future Pillars of Indigeneity The power in Indigenous identities The natural world Reframing the narrative: from problem to opportunity Comprised of 25 newly commissioned chapters from Indigenous scholars, professionals, and community members from traditions around the world, this book will be a useful tool for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of manifestations of wellness and resilience. This handbook will be of particular interest to all scholars, students, and practitioners of social work, social care, and human services more broadly, as well as those working in sociology, development studies, and environmental sustainability.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Pakistan written by Shahid Javed Burki and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pakistan is unlike most other countries in the emerging world. It is one of the two nations – the other being the state of Israel – founded on the basis of religion. Although it was created to provide a homeland for the Muslim community of British India, in its original form it was able to accommodate only about half of the people of Islamic faith who lived in the subcontinent. Pakistan’s birth in 1947 resulted in one of the largest movements of people in human history when some 14 million people left their homes, with 8 million Muslims leaving India for what is now Pakistan and 6 million Hindus and Sikhs moving in the opposite direction. This was the first large-scale incidence of ethnic cleansing the world was to witness. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Pakistan covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Pakistan.

Download or read book Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan written by Virinder S. Kalra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on insights from theoretical engagements with borders and subalternity, Beyond Religion in India and Pakistan suggests new frameworks for understanding religious boundaries in South Asia. It looks at the ways in which social categories and structures constitute the bordering logics inherent within enactments of these boundaries, and positions hegemony and resistance through popular religion as an important indication of wider developments of political and social change. The book also shows how borders are continually being maintained through violence at national, community and individual levels. By exploring selected sites and expressions of piety including shrines, texts, practices and movements, Virinder S. Kalra and Navtej K. Purewal argue that the popular religion of Punjab should neither be limited to a polarised picture between formal, institutional religion, nor the 'enchanted universe' of rituals, saints, shrines and village deities. Instead, the book presents a picture of 'religion' as a realm of movement, mobilization, resistance and power in which gender and caste are connate of what comes to be known as 'religious'. Through extensive ethnographic research, the authors explore the reality of the complex, dynamic and contested relations that characterize everyday material and religious lives on the ground. Ultimately, the book highlights how popular religion challenges the borders and boundaries of religious and communal categories, nationalism and theological frameworks while simultaneously reflecting gender/caste society.
Download or read book The Persianate World written by Nile Green and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Persian is one of the great lingua francas of world history. Yet despite its recognition as a shared language across the Islamic world and beyond, its scope, impact, and mechanisms remain underexplored. A world historical inquiry into pre-modern cosmopolitanism, The Persianate World traces the reach and limits of Persian as a Eurasian language in a comprehensive survey of its geographical, literary, and social frontiers. From Siberia to Southeast Asia, and between London and Beijing, this book shows how Persian gained, maintained, and finally surrendered its status to imperial and vernacular competitors. Fourteen essays trace Persian’s interactions with Bengali, Chinese, Turkic, Punjabi, and other languages to identify the forces that extended “Persographia,” the domain of written Persian. Spanning the ages of expansion and contraction, The Persianate World offers a critical survey of both the supports and constraints of one of history’s key languages of global exchange.
