Art expert Kanwal Khalid
speaks on significance of
Pakistani art
udreview.com
February 27, 2014
DETAILS
“The best art comes from troubled times,” Dr. Khalid says. “And Pakistan has had no shortage of
those.”
While visiting the university from Pakistan, art expert Dr. Kanwal Khalid delivered a guest lecture
to students and members of the art community Monday night in Willard Hall. Khalid spoke at
length on both the history of Pakistani art and the country’s contemporary art scene. Pakistani
influences on the region’s art range from Pakistani tradition to the impact 9/11 had on the
Pakistani people. An accomplished Pakistani art professional hailing from Pakistan, Khalid has
spent her career immersed in the artistic works of South Asia. Khalid has held a number of
positions in the art world ranging from museum curator to art professor. Early in her career,
Khalid says she admits she was sometimes ridiculed for her interest and fascination with the
region’s art. “There was as focus on European art history,” Khalid says. “South Asian art history
wasn’t really taught.” Khalid’s lecture covered a great deal of Pakistani art history. Subjects
ranged from ancient Priest King sculptures to post- Sept. 11 miniature style paintings. Khalid also
discussed the Ajanta cave monuments and paintings in the New York Metropolitan Museum of
Art. In Pakistan, Khalid says she often works in the city of Lahore, which is considered to be the
artistic capital of the country. In her lecture, Khalid says the art of Pakistan often reflects the
context in which it is created. When Europeans first started visiting the region, the local artist
incorporated styles and subject matter that settlers brought with them. Following the attention the
nation received following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Pakistani artists created works of art that
reflected America’s presence, Khalid says. Khalid made mention of many notable Pakistani
artists including Imran Qureshi and Huma Mulji. Khalid says both artists work extensively in
installations, which are works of art that take up entire rooms or spaces. Imran Qureshi’s painted
one of his most famous installations on the roof of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art last
spring, Khalid says. The lecture also addressed the trend in the contemporary Pakistani art
scene toward a return to older, more traditional styles. “We are all taking a U-turn and returning
focus on tradition,” Khalid says “Globalization may cause a sort of identity crisis.” Due to
globalization, Khalid says art in Pakistan has seen a revival of older and more traditional styles of
art. Khalid says miniature paintings are an area of expertise for her and are one of Pakistan’s
most long-standing traditions. She explained that in years past, miniature paintings were done as
collective efforts by teams of artists who specialized in painting a specific part of the painting. In
her lecture, Dr. Khalid detailed through Pakistani art history how it has been common for artists to
use the canvas to make political statements. “If you look at Pakistani art, it is reflective of what is
going on globally,” Khalid says. Khalid says one of Pakistan’s most recognizable art types is what
is referred to as the moving canvas. Moving canvases are trucks painted by their artisan drivers
in intricate, colorful and elaborate patterns, she says. As the trucks travel from place to place,
shipping and delivering goods, the painted trucks are seen as a personal extension of the artist.
“The trucks are painted to appear more appealing and friendlier to locals,” Khalid says. Khalid
also spoke about the role that women, both past and present, have played on the Pakistani art
scene in her lecture. She detailed the contributions that professional female artists have made in
the country’s artistic community and says that many of the people teaching about Pakistani art
are women, which helps to shape the dialogue.
“It was interesting to learn that women are respected as artists in Pakistan,” junior Cortney
Marshall says. Among those in attendance at the lecture were several members of the
university’s art community, including students studying issues in contemporary art. “She made
very good points on the focus on European Renaissance,” junior George Mickum says.
Lahore International Film
Festival celebrates young
film-makers
The Express Tribune
27 February, 2014
LAHORE: The growing trend of film festivals in Pakistan and their promotion of film novices have
frequently been discussed and duly appreciated. An ongoing festival, which has been
showcasing the true potential of young film-makers, is the inaugural Lahore International Film
Festival, dated February 25 till February 28. The event, which is taking place in collaboration with
Summit Entertainment and Super Cinema at the Royal Palm Golf & Country Club and Vogue
Towers, is providing screen space for several short and independent films.Many young filmmakers who were selected from local universities, such as the Beaconhouse National University
(BNU) and National College of Arts, have been focusing on creating films that highlight social
issues and are relatable for a global audience.
Lubna Khaleeq’s film Walled City Painter offers an activist’s view of the lives of renowned old city
artists, like Ajaz Anwar and Saeed Akhtar. She says that she decided to make a film on her
mentors, who she feels are not valued locally. She adds that young film-makers have been
inspired by the likes of Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, who received international acclaim with the
Oscar success of Saving Face. She also highlights the challenges that new film-makers are
faced with, which are not only limited to garnering local success, but also include achieving
financial security. “The thing is my generation has many issues to face. I really have no secure
future and the same is the case for the coming generation. We get more feedback when we
focus on issues that can resonate internationally,” says Khaleeq. This is where the idea of film
festivals comes to good use. As they do in India and France, film festivals provide a central point
for film-makers who are working on the fringe to meet members of the film fraternity. There are
several other films, such as Nasir Mazari’s thesis project Life, a ten-minute documentary on
poverty near the river Ravi in Lahore. Mazari says his intent is to shed light on poverty-stricken
settlers near the river bank. He says international festivals tend to favour such stories and that
they remain a driving point for many young film-makers who want to be noticed.
“I think what I wanted to show was not that there was poverty, but that whatever their [the
4
settlers’] lives are like, they are satisfied with them,” says Mazari, who hails from Rahim Yar Khan
and was BNU’s first film graduate gold medallist. He says that he is more comfortable with the
documentary film-making format, which allows one to work with a smaller budget. He did,
however, do a short film based on Saadat Hasan Manto’s character Sugandhi, which has
received recognition locally.
“We are talking about realities and Manto’s writings epitomise reality and society. A lot of his
stories are still banned. I think that’s [because he intended] to show the real thing,” adds Mazari.
While issue-based film-making is on practicalities, Siyaah’s producer Imran Kazmi, who is also
screening his film at the festival, indicates that it’s merely a trend and that he would encourage
film-makers to follow their hearts rather than any formula.
“The truth is making films with social messages requires less work and money. I tell young filmmakers that they have to follow their hearts and not a trend,” says Kazmi. The festival’s format is
focused primarily on screening films and bringing forth new film-makers. “I think the discussion
format really just ends up being all about ‘talking.’ This [format allows] audiences and people who
are aspiring to become film-makers to focus more on what is being screened than anything else,”
comments Kazmi.
IFT’s Neil McCartney on
Pakistani cinema, SIFF
and film festivals
Daily Dawn
February 27, 2014
It’s not every day – or year – when major film events happen in Pakistan. A couple of weeks ago
was one such exception, when the first Sindh International Film Festival (SIFF) was unveiled to
the public. Although a haphazardly set-up event with many inconstancies (including a lack of
press and public information), SIFF is perhaps one of the more concrete steps towards
strengthening the foothold of Pakistan’s emerging film industry. One unanticipated aspect of SIFF
was its partnership with the Raindance Film Festival – one of the most recognized, independent
minded film festivals in the world – and The Independent Film Trust (IFT), a local charity from the
UK, closely aligned with Raindance and the British Independent Film Awards. SIFF also had the
honor of inviting Neil McCartney, the chairman of IFT as a judge and representative of Raindance
at the festival.
During Mr McCartney’s stay, I was fortunate to have been in constant touch with him during and
after the festival, thanks in no small part to Mr Zaid Aziz, who took the initiative to help create the
opportunity of this interview.
How did you get involved with the Sindh International Film Festival?
I first became aware of the festival somewhere in cyberspace in late December 2013 and that led
me to contact them because I am always interested in hearing more about festivals that I have
not encountered before – especially in countries outside Western Europe and North America.
However, we see very few films from countries such as Pakistan. Last year we did get a
submission from the producers of the Pakistani feature Good Morning Karachi, directed by
Sabiha Sumar, and we were very happy to select it and include in the festival programme. Most
of the times, films are not submitted to us because the film-makers have not heard of our festival
or because they are discouraged by the need to pay submission fees. On the other hand, we are
always looking for potential partners who could help us to raise our profile among local filmmakers and in some way encourage them to consider making submissions to us. So I made
contact. Then, slightly to my surprise, I got a swift and positive response from the festival director
Assad Zulfiqar Khan. The fact that I received such a response (which does not always happen)
encouraged me to look further into what was being done and the wider Sindh Festival as a
whole. And things developed from there. But we all had to run very quickly, given the tight
timetable. The fact that the Sindh Festival as a whole was backed by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, told
me that it was a serious initiative. I could see that they had a challenging timetable given that the
festival was due to start only a few weeks after it had been publicly announced. This meant that
there was not as much time as one would normally have.
The association with Raindance is a big step for any festival, first time or otherwise. Is Raindance
always this open for collaboration with film festivals or markets, or was this an exception?
The Independent Film Trust and the Raindance Film Festival are both very open to new
associations and partnerships, and we share something of a common mindset. We like making
things happen – as far as we can. Most of the organisations with which we come into contact
tend to be more conservative, partly because they very often have institutional structures for all
sorts of understandable reasons. In this case we got a very swift and positive reaction from
Assad and were able to come to an agreement very quickly. It is very rarely like that! Of course,
this is one of the very significant positive aspects of working with a new festival, as opposed to
the obvious and predictable negatives I have mentioned. (With new festivals) there is no existing
way of doing things that people feel the need to stick to and defend.
You’ve brought a select number of features and shorts to showcase at the festival. Can you tell
us a little about them?
We brought eight features – five documentary features and three fiction features. We did think
about bringing some shorts as well, but in the end there was no time to do this. The process of
selection, getting permission and getting a screening copy can take as long for a short as it does
for a feature. We started with features because we felt that these ought in any case to form the
spine of the Raindance Selection. We started out by making a selection of features from among
the prize-winners and nominees at the most recent edition of RFF in September/October 2013.
But some of these films we had to rule out, because the producers, sales agents or distributors of
these films already had other plans for their screenings in Pakistan. So we also looked at the
prize-winners and nominees from September/October 2012 and other good films of which we
were aware and eventually settled on the documentaries Fall and Winter (USA), Powerless
5
(India), Finding Family (UK/Bosnia and Herzegovina) – I was one of the executive producers –,
Body of God (Finland) and Everybody Street (USA). In Fiction, the selected titles were Season of
Mists (UK/Russia), The Empty Home (Russia/Kyrgyzstan/France/UK) and Jail Caesar (UK).

ISLAMABAD, Feb 27 (NNI): PakTurk School organised a language and cultural festival as well
as an Olympiad which was heavily participated by students and their parents from different cities
of Pakistan.
Besides, the visiting Turkish parliamentarians, Ambassadors of Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and
Kazakhstan, local officials and notables also participated in the event.
In 12th edition of this language festival, 200 students from Karachi, Khairpur, Quetta, Lahore,
Multan, Peshawar and Islamabad competed in 12 different categories.
Speaking at the occasion, members of Turkish Parliament said that, “brotherly country Pakistan
and the people of Pakistan always keep a special place in the hearts of Turks.”
They said that Pakistan and the people of Pakistan have always protected the values of Turkey
and Turkish people.
Turkish educational institutions would continue to provide quality education to Pakistani brethren
and try to further improve and expand the services, they said.
The MPs vowed to further strengthen the bilateral, trade, cultural, political and economic relations
between the brotherly nations.
Ambassador of Azerbaijan Dashgin Shikarov said that PakTurk Educational Foundation has
been performing a good job to educate the students scientifically as well as ethically. I wish to
see growth of these institutions in coming days, he added.
PakTurk Chairman Unal Tosur said that the two countries stand to benefit immensely by closer
interaction with each other in different fields including education.
Around 75 selected students were awarded during the event. Winners and runners-ups will

RAWALPINDI: For around 5,000 Hindus living in Rawalpindi, Krishna Mandir is the only place of
worship left. The temple is built on a four marla plot which is not enough to accommodate the
community’s growing numbers during religious ceremonies. But the fact that this temple remains
is also nothing short of an achievement. There was a time when its future was also bleak and
even today’s there are challenges to its daily existence. Its not just about religious intolerance,
which many remember from amongst the community here. The attacking and burning of temples
and statues of Hindu deities in 1993 are still fresh in the mind of 79 year old Mahesh. “We [the
Hindus] condemned the attack on Babri Mosque just like our Muslim brothers did. We even held
protests but were not spared,” he recalls. Most Hindus feel that the attacks had less to do with
religion and more with money. They believe that the land mafia attacked temples around which
Muslim families were living so that the families would vacate the land and the land grabbers
could take over, considering the commercial value. Some local politicians led mobs and attacked
the temples. “There is a perception that the Hindus [who migrated] had buried their wealth in
these temples. Temples on the outskirts of the city were dug but when they found nothing, they
destroyed the statues and defaced the statues.”
Over the years, most of the Hindu inhabitants migrated to India at the time of partition, leaving
behind a good number of properties and places of worship These properties have been up for
grabs. Some allege that locals forged documents in order to occupy land around temples and
construct markets. These temples are located in areas where the value of land is very high. This
acts as a magnet for the land mafia. “No temple here exists that has been spared by land
grabbers,” claims Amarnath, a resident of Kirtarpura. The helpless community can do nothing to
protect the dilapidated and plundered buildings. The security of the evacuated buildings remains
a source of concern. The government established the Evacuee Trust Properties Board under the
Evacuee Trust Properties (management and disposal) Act 1975 for the protection of such
properties. This board now sells or rents out the property around the temples. When the board
was contacted, they said that they are looking after the functioning temples around the province.
“The attached properties around these temples have been given on lease while the main
buildings of the temples were destroyed or occupied after the Babri Mosque incident,” said
Deputy Secretary Evacuee Trust Property Board, Azhar Sulehri. According to him, the zonal
offices are looking after the non-functional temples and shrines. But officials at the zonal office
denied that this was their responsibility.
Look towards the temples:
Out of 11 temples only one temple , the Krishna Mandir, is being used by the Hindu community.
A temple in Bhabra Bazaar is being used by the police and political workers as a rest room. The
sacred images have been defaced and scriptures scribbled out. The most important part of the
temple, which is the sanctuary where the statue is placed, has been turned into an office.
In the old area of Lunda Bazaar, the temple of goddess Kali no longer exists. There are temples
around College Road, Bohar Bazaar, Purana Qilla, Bagh-e-Sardaran and on the outskirts of the
garrison city which await protection. A temple in Lunda Bazaar, Mohan Mandir, is said to have
been built in 1930 by two brothers Hakim Asa Anand and Hakim Moti. It was also ransacked by
an angry mob in 1993.
The members of the Hindu community demand preservation and protection of their religious
sites. President of Pakistan Hindu-Sikh Social Welfare Council, Jag Mohan Kumar Arora, said
that the trust board and the Department of Archaeology can generate millions of rupees from
these temples if they are properly preserved and opened for tourists. “The board is generating
money by selling the attached pieces of land around the temples to land mafia. The board is least
bothered about spending a penny on maintenance of these historical temples.”
“The government should constitute a committee on the pattern of Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara
Prabandhak Committee to protect its holy sites and heritage,” said Dr Umer Nadeem Tarar,

“People take temples as nothing but mere buildings and they want to destroy them,” said
Muhammad Yousaf, lecturer at Islamic International University. The people who understand the
importance of heritage can never think about razing them, he said, adding that heritage is what
defines a people’s identity and it is a page from the past. However, in Rawalpindi, heritage sites
like the temples are disappearing rapidly because of negligence of authorities.
Historical heritage sites are present everywhere in the world and are constantly maintained and
repaired by governments. Many famous historical sites exist in different areas of Balochistan but
these are neglected. Additionally, Makran is one of the oldest parts of the Indus Valley
civilisations. Mirri Fort, Damb Shahi Tump in Turbat dates back to 4000 BC. These ancient
centres belong to the pre-Harrapan period of the Indus Valley civilisation. However, no concrete
steps have been taken to unearth the history and culture of these ancient sites. Unfortunately,
neither the government nor any NGO has taken any serious action for the preservation of these
ancient sites. On the other hand, the local people of these areas dig around there in search of
hidden treasures and destroy these historical sites. The authorities concerned should take
serious action to preserve these ancient archaeological sites.
KARACHI: A child kept blowing raspberries while sitting in the front row of the Governor’s gallery
at the Sindh Assembly. It was a Monday, he was bored and the only thing that seemed to amuse
him involved sticking his tongue out of his mouth and producing a noise similar to that created by
flatulence. At 10:45am most MPAs were missing. The speaker’s helpers were running around
trying to get everything in order before the session started. Reporters were busy catching up on
details about families, visas and recent extortion cases. Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel
Memon walked in at 11:15am looking sharp in a dark suit and tie. After he settled in his seat,
Memon noticed a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf MPA sitting in the last row of the opposition bench
and asked him what maps he was drawing and what time he got there. The MPA laughed and
said that he was catching up with work and unlike the rest, he had showed up at 10am on the
dot. Things became a little awkward as Memon mumbled something and turned away. For an
assembly newbie, it might come as a surprise that the sessions don’t actually start on time.
MPAs are fashionably late and Monday’s session was no exception. As MPAs from the treasury
benches kept piling in – women in twos and the men in suits, it looked like the session might
actually start before noon and it did, right after the naat and fateha. Sharmila Faruqi, who was
representing the culture department in the question-answer session walked in wearing white,
carrying a bunch of heavy folders and a little black handbag stuffed with papers. If the wildlife
minister had showed up for Monday’s session, he would have gotten off scot-free for neglecting
the turtles as this time Faruqi and her department were under fire. But she had come prepared
with the big guns — she had letters, excel sheets and what not.
Pakistan Muslim League-Functional’s Nusrat Seher Abbasi was really interested in why the
culture department had only organised some 400 events in the last four years. Despite Faruqi’s
reply and insistence to check the detailed answer in the session’s sheet, Abbasi was not
satisfied. She wanted a reason, not a financial breakdown. When an MPA asked about arts
councils in the province, Faruqi explained that there were three in the province —one each in
Karachi, Khairpur and Larkana, and were not run by the government or her department. She did,
however, inform the house that they received provincial grants. PTI’s MPA asked how the
government and department kept checks on how the money was being used. Faruqi explained
that the arts council’s accounts were audited every year. The questions started getting tougher
when Abbasi, dressed in blue and high heels, asked Faruqi about Moen jo Daro and other
heritage sites. Every MPA wanted to know why a certain site, landmark, building in their
constituency was not listed as a heritage site or being taken care of as one. This went on till 1pm,
which is when with heavy protocol the chief minister of Sindh entered the assembly premises and
the members got ready to pass some resolutions.
Spotted at the assembly
The leader of the opposition, Faisal Subzwari looked dapper in a brown kurta and tung pyjama
accessorised with Kolha-puri chappals. Nasir Shah, the star of the last session, sat in his regular
spot twirling his moustache. The real spotlight, however, belonged to Pakistan Peoples Party’s
Murad Ali Shah, who wore a flaming orange suit.
Terror war harmed
regional heritage: Olson
The Nation
February 24, 2014
LAHORE - US Ambassador to Pakistan Richard G Olson has said that operation against
militants or holding peace negotiations with them is an eternal matter of Pakistan and the US has
no position in this regard.
Talking to media after addressing the participants at Lahore Literary Festival (LLF) at Alhamra
Arts Centre on Sunday, the American ambassador accepted terror war had a bad impact on
historical structures in the region especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said a number of projects
were underway for conservation of cultural heritage. In this regard, three different projects are
also going on in Lahore including Masjid Wazir Khan, he added. Olson said Lahore was very
important city of South Asia and the world also due to its cultural significance. That is why, he
said, they had supported LLF.
Meanwhile, during a meeting with Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif, he said his country highly valued
Pakistan’s role in war on terror and it would continue support it efforts to curb the menace of
terrorism and extend assistance for development projects. Issues relating to Pak-US relations,
war against terrorism, security situation of the region and other important matters of bilateral
interest came under discussion during the meeting. Oslon on the occasion said Pakistan had
sacrificed more than any other country across the globe in war on terror and his country had
respect for Pakistan for its role in tackling terrorism. The US ambassador said that his country

would further enhance cooperation for development of different sectors especially to help
Pakistan in getting rid of energy crisis and other projects of public welfare.
Call to highlight Pak
culture
The News International
February 24, 2014
LAHORE: On the closing day of the Lahore Literary Festival 2014, Sunday, Pakistani
photojournalist Mobeen Ansari spoke with actress Nadia Jamil in a session called ‘Dharkan’.
Ansari said the inspiration behind his latest book, ‘Dharkan: The Heartbeat of a Nation’, was
negative representation of Pakistan in international media. The photojournalist felt there was an
urgent need to highlight the beautiful culture and talented people of the country. Pakistani
personalities featured in his pictures included the late Karachi columnist Ardeshir Cowasjee,
philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, cricketer Shahid Afridi, politician Imran Khan, Sufi singer Abida
Parveen and actor Zia Mohayuddin. The book has been launched in three American cities to
positive reception. Meanwhile, Fahmida Riaz and Zehra Nigah launched their books, ‘Hum Log’
and ‘Jadeed-o-Qadeem Khawateen Ke Naam’ respectively.
‘Hum Log’ looks at political violence in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. Fahmida Riaz said her
book based on her own personal experiences of exile in foreign lands and the internal exile that
she mentally experienced when her radical progressive thoughts became unacceptable to
General Zia-ul-Haq government. ‘Jadeed-o-Qadeem Khawateen Ke Naam,’ throws light on the
lives of female writers and poetess in Pakistan. Nigah, at the session, said such women had not
been acknowledged properly in the literary circles. German writer and musician Peter Pannke
spoke with professor at Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture Aliya Iqbal Naqvi in his book
launch called ‘Saints and Singers: Sufi Music in the Indus Valley.’ The book is a travelogue of the
German musician through the music and culture of the Indus Valley in today’s Pakistan. A
renowned Punjabi poet and founder of Sachal Studios in Lahore Mushtaq Soofi, Riaz Shaad,
Punjabi poetess Sarwat Mohiuddin and Pakistani journalist Majeed Sheikh spoke in a session
called ‘Women in Classical Punjabi Literature.’ Speakers at the session paid tribute to the
legendary Punjabi poetess and writers, including Amrita Pritam. Soofi, Shaad, Mohiuddin and
Sheikh said women through their novels and poetry in Punjabi had contributed significantly to the
revival and progress of the language. They had also highlighted social issues.
Promotion of art, culture
effective antidote to
extremism: Pervaiz
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Pervaiz Rasheed
Monday said the government was determined to provide relief and support to the artists as
promotion of art and culture was an effective antidote to violence and extremism.
Business Recorder
February 24, 2014
Chairing a meeting of Administrative Committee of Pakistan Culture and Art Foundation Relief
Fund here, he said the art and culture was the hallmark of every civilization and artists in the
country needed to be promoted so as to keep art and culture alive in the society. Pervaiz
Rasheed emphasized on the need to ensure transparency in the provision of funds and directed
the officials concerned to evolve a mechanism in consultation with the provinces for its effective
implementation without any delay. He also directed to enhance the amount of payments, saying
the artists of smaller provinces and deprived areas to be preferred. The minister underlined the
need to computerize and further systemize the whole process to ensure the ethos of
professionalism and fairness in the distribution of funds. He asked the officials to prefer old ones
over the young artists because they might not be able to earn through others means as they had
been associated with art for the whole life. Naeema Kishwar Khan, Member of the National
Assembly, and Dr Nazir Saeed, Secretary Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage, were
also present in the meeting.
Weaving back through
culture
When we talk about the cultures of India and Pakistan, we always talk about the similarities that
we both have. It is a fact and it is the bond that connects us. We know about Indo-Pak bonding
among the Indian and Pakistani diaspora in western countries. Culture is a strong bond and this
can be explained by the fact that even with fluctuating relations, fortunately any attempt to stop
Indo-Pak cultural ventures has been unsuccessful. Saying so, we can see a hope for peace in
this cultural bond.
During a recent South Asian conference, I received the opportunity to hear Professor Chaman
Lal, who has conducted cross-border research on Bhagat Singh and has written several books
on him. Professor Lal talked about the importance of culture and the dismal reality of how
partition politics also brought about a cultural divide. He talked about how political division had
also affected the culture of the region, a region known as Punjab. For a Punjabi, his/her cultural
identity of being a Punjabi is far more important than his/her caste and religious identity.
However, the political decision of partition wounded this bonding. They became Indian and
Pakistani. Even after that, the culture remained the same and, therefore, it developed at almost
the same pace on both sides but due to these two forced identities, both sides adopted two
different scripts. On the Indian side, Punjabis started writing their script in Gurumukhi while on
the Pakistani side, Punjabis started using a different script named Shahmukhi. These scripts
became official after partition. The school level education on both sides also formalised this
division. They do not teach the ‘other’ script. It may not appear to be a big issue but when we
look at it from the perspective of ‘what they are losing out on’, we will see its importance. Having
two different scripts does not just mean restricting communication between two people, two
communities, but also puts restrictions on shared culture, the past and, most importantly,
knowledge. Literature is a repertoire of knowledge. Having two different scripts means that the
text that may have been written in either of the two scripts becomes accessible only for people
who can read that script. There is a lot of literature that is not available for reading for the current
generations, as they only know one of the two scripts. Before partition, people knew both scripts
and quality literature was available in both scripts but, after partition, the language got divided
and so did knowledge and culture. Even today, the elderly generation can read both types of
scripts but their younger ones cannot. We must know that it will be an injustice if we leave them
in the situation wherein they both will not be able to communicate with each other perfectly and

will not be able to understand each other’s script and the knowledge that is dependent on them.
We must recognise the importance of this. We must make the effort to end this injustice that
restricts knowledge and the opportunity to undo the evil of the past and create new bonds for
people.
Culture can play a strong role in harnessing good relations between the two countries. Social
theorist Emile Durkheim once talked about the importance of culture for social solidarity and
harmony. Culture binds people together, it creates a ‘we’ feeling. The similar culture of the people
of India and Pakistan can do wonders. This bond of similarity can make them realise that they
were and are the same in their values, thoughts and vision. It can work as a platform to lessen
the miscommunication, mutual hatred and suspicion. It can work to break the myth that Indians
and Pakistanis are different and opposed to each other — the reason for hatred. We need to
realise the importance of and make efforts to emphasise cultural similarities. “Can we think of
teaching both scripts on both sides?” Professor Chaman Lal asked. I think we can and we
should.
The cultural capital of Pakistan is again playing host to the Lahore Literary Festival
http://www.lahorelitfest.com/ this weekend, in another attempt to resuscitate Pakistan’s rich
cultural heritage. The three-day event that started on Friday is the second edition of the annual
festival dedicated to Pakistani and foreign literature. It’s bigger than last year with more than 100
Pakistani and foreign writers, artists, poets, journalists and historians descending on the historic
Punjabi capital for a weekend of discussion and celebration of the written word. The organizers
also expect the audience to be twice the size of last year’s gathering. That festival was propelled
to great success by the shear momentum of the enthusiasm to make it so. It frequently felt more
like a rock concert than a bookish gathering. Raucous crowds whooped and cheered, and
adoring groupies mobbed writers and artists. The discussions were also deeply political and
centered on what it means to be a Pakistani and a Pakistani writer. The festival came just three
months before the country’s general elections, and there was a huge sense of optimism that a
new beginning was just around the corner.
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Riaz Hussain Pirzada on Friday assured
tour operators that he will take up with authorities the closure of Gondogoro La, a famous pass in
Baltistan for trekking expeditions. “It is our job to discuss these matters with other departments,
the army and intelligence agencies,” he told the tour operators at an event arranged by the Alpine
Club of Pakistan in honour of brother-sister mountaineer duo Samina Baig and Mirza Ali, who are
currently on an eight-month expedition to scale highest mountains on each continent. The 5,940metre high Gondogoro La, one of the most famous and widely preferred mountain passes in the
Karakoram ranges, was closed for trekking expeditions by security agencies in May 2013.
Pirzada asked the tour operators to forward their concerns in writing to him so that he could take
up the issue with the authorities.The issue had been raised by President Pakistan Association of
Tour Operators (PATO) Amjad Ayub. “If you provide a written demand to the inter-provincial
coordination ministry, I will take care of it,” the minister said. Pirzada also said that Baig’s
achievement was a like a drop of rain that will make the ground fertile for more Pakistani women
to participate in sports.
Ayub told The Express Tribune that the closure of the pass has affected the livelihood of local
tour operators and people associated with the tourism industry. “Instead of making the country
tourist-friendly, we are making it difficult for tourists,” Ayub said. “It is not just the pass that has
been closed, but the income opportunities of tourist operators, local guides and porters have also
been closed with it.” The Gondogoro La trek is famous for offering a breath-taking, panoramic
view of Pakistan’s four 8,000-metre high peaks: K2, Gasherbrum-I, Gasherbrum-II and Broad
Peak. Tour operators said that the pass is a symbol of Pakistan’s adventure tourism and is a
golden opportunity for Pakistan to market its mountains abroad. Meanwhile, Samina urged the
people to ensure that their girls get education. “Pakistani women can work alongside the men in
every profession, every field of work,” Baig said. “I appeal to the people, especially in the rural
areas to give their daughters their basic right to education.”
Samina and Ali have so far scaled three peaks as part of the seven summits expedition, which is
being financially supported by some philanthropists with logistical support from the Adventure
Diplomacy Group. Ali briefed the audience about the three peaks – Mount Aconcagua in
Argentina, Mount Vinson in Antarctica and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. He said that each time
they faced difficult conditions but braved the challenges to raise the Pakistani flag on each peak.
Ali said that during the Kilimanjaro ascent they faced unexpectedly strong winds and heavy rain,
even though they had heard the mountain could be climbed in “jogging shoes”. After a brief stay
in Pakistan, the mountaineers will return to their expedition. They plan to climb Puncak Jaya in
Indonesia. Ali will attempt Everest in April.
‘Protect your heritage, not
for yourself but for your
children’
The Express Tribune
February 21, 2014
KARACHI: Pakistan may be lacking on many fronts but the one thing that sets it above all others
is its heritage. Baela Raza Jamil’s statement, declaring Pakistan’s supremacy in this regard, was
a no-brainer for the audience at the session, titled ‘Mobilising living heritage from our literature’,
at the Teachers Literature Festival, on Thursday.
What was unfortunate, according to Jamil, was the lack of interest being shown to promote and
protect the heritage for the future generations. “The dilemma we are faced with today is that how
do we revive the respect and admiration for our heritage in classrooms?” she asked of the
panellists, Ayub Blaoch and Adal Soomro, in particular, and the audience in general.
When the mic was passed on to Ayub Baloch, one could tell that this man meant business when
it came to protecting the heritage. “When Pakistan was formed in 1947, it was lacking in many
aspects — financially, administratively and politically. The one thing we did have and will always
9
cherish is our heritage.” But it was not until he started counting the blessings that we have so
often heard of, that he managed to convince the participants of his argument. “Take a trip to the
Quetta Museum,” he invited the audience. “There are relics that have been found in Mehergarh
that date as far back as 11,000 years ago. The artefacts testify that the society inhabiting
Mehergarh was far more sophisticated than any other place at the time.” The civilisation was so
far ahead, according to Baloch, that animals were domesticated for the first time ever in
Mehergarh. Baloch went on to explain that historians believe that the Sumerian Civilisation found
its roots in Balochistan. “It is from here that they migrated to other places. Moen jo Daro, the
famous historical site in Sindh is only 5,000 years old. Imagine, Moen jo Daro is merely the greatgrandson of Mehergarh,” he smiled. Baloch carried on by quoting a famous Red Indian saying,
“We borrow the Earth from our children.” Heritage is a gift from the past to the future, he
reasoned. It is our duty to protect and preserve it and pass it on to our future generation. He
pleaded to the teachers and those involved in the education sector to ensure that our future
generation developed an appreciation for our heritage. “You may ask why I give so much
importance to protecting our heritage,” he asked of the audience with a smile. “It is because
heritage is directly linked to our dignity and identity.” Baloch’s fellow panellist, Adal Soomro, is no
novice when it comes to folk literature. The head of Sindhi department at the Shah Abdul Latif
University, Soomro has authored 14 books apart from publishing various works of poetry. “Our
literature, especially folk tales and stories, are a testament to our heritage,” he said. Soomro was
of the opinion that literature was the one platform through which we could preserve and protect
our heritage. What was lamentable was that we had ignored the lessons that we could have
learnt from this heritage. “The despondency lies in the fact that Moen jo Daro, 5,000 years ago,
was a far better planned and urbanised community than what we have today. I even wrote a
poem requesting the authorities to allow me to live in Moen jo Daro,” he joked.
What the moderator and panellists agreed to was that for the protection and promotion of our
heritage, it was necessary that teachers rise up to the challenge. “You have been commissioned
with a cause,” Soomro addressed the teachers seated in the room. “Your cause is not to bring
about a revolution. Each of you must play your part and collectively, we will be able to bring
about the change we seek,” he advised.
Umrah surge sees
Pakistanis top list
Umrah pilgrims from abroad are pouring into the Kingdom, with the Ministry of Haj declaring that
there has been a significant 14 percent increase in foreign pilgrims visiting Madinah already this
season as compared to last year, with Pakistan accounting for the biggest chunk of pilgrims.
Revealing this, Ali Al-Ghamdi of the Haj Ministry said about two million pilgrims had already
visited Madinah during the current season. After Pakistan, Indonesians, Iranians and Indians
accounted for the most number of pilgrims in that order, he said. The ministry was constantly
monitoring the facilities and services provided to pilgrims. It had instructed Umrah companies to
make special provisions for the elderly and physically weak pilgrims, he said. The ministry was
also conducting inspections of transport and housing facilities for pilgrims in Jeddah, Makkah and
Madinah to ensure their safety besides putting in place measures to prevent foreign middlemen
from dealing in these two vital sectors, he said. Al-Ghamdi said that the ministry's inspectors had
booked 39 people for involvement in pilgrims' housing that is to be dealt with only by Saudi
citizens. The ministry had, last year, carried out 1,948 inspection visits and 552 raids to check
housing services. The official said the ministry was also conducting inspection of pilgrims'
housing for compliance with safety standards. So far, it has carried out 372 visits and detected
152 violations of safety regulations in Makkah, he said, adding the ministry in Makkah region also
inspected 9,009 housing units that had accommodated 1.3 million pilgrims last year.
LCCI, Seed sign MoU for
promotion of tourism
The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Monday signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the Social, Economic and Environmental Development (Seed) project
under the framework of the Pakistan Italian Debt-for-Development Swap Agreement (PIDSA), for
the promotion of domestic and international tourism and trekking expeditions to the different parts
of Gilgit-Baltistan, especially to the K-2 and surrounding areas and the Central Karakorum
National Park (CKNP). LCCI President Sohail Lashari inked the MoU on behalf of the Lahore
chamber while Seed was represented by its Country Operations Manager Raffael Del Cima.

Under the agreement, the LCCI would extend maximum support to Seed for a three-day festival
'The K2 and Beyond' from March 28-30, being arranged in connection with the K-2 60th
anniversary at the Lahore chamber. The three-day festival includes exhibitions, music and
documentaries. An exhibition of photo highlights from the researcher and scientist Filippo De
Filippi (1913-1914) titled 'Rediscovering the Abode of Snow'. Exhibition of flora and fauna of the
Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP), International Mountain Film Festival and Scientific
Workshop to mainstream the natural resources, climatically, geologically and ecologically. The
other stakeholders and partners include; Pakistan Association of Tour Operators (PATO),
Karakorum International University (KIU), WWF, Gilgit Baltistan Tourism Department, Alpine Club
would be extending support to promote domestic and international tourism and trekking
expeditions to the different parts of GB, especially to the K-2 and surrounding areas and the
Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP).
Speaking on the occasion, Sohail Lashari said that the LCCI has partnered with this unique event
to promote domestic tourism that remained untapped only because of lack of awareness. He said
that tourism sector had attained the status of billion dollar industry and a little attention towards
its promotion in the outer world could do miracle as far as economic well being of the country is
concerned. Lashari said that there are a large number of countries in the world that earning
unimaginable foreign exchange through focus on tourism but it is very unfortunate that Pakistan
had failed to tap unmatched domestic tourism potential. Seed Country Operations Manager
Raffael Del Cima said that the Seed is one of the most comprehensive projects developed in
10
collaboration with the Karakorum International University (KIU) and thanks to the support of
numerous Pakistani partners such as Central Karakorum National Park (CKNP), WWF, Aga
Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP), Alpine Club of Pakistan, ICIMOD, Pakistan Metrological
Department (PMD), Mountain and Glaciers Protection Organisation (MGPO).
The project, fully financed by Pakistan Italian Debt-for-Development Swap Agreement since
November 2009, and aspires at an interactive development of the Central Karakorum National
Park (CKNP) through supporting the implementation and management of CKNP, improving wellbeing and livelihoods option of local people. Among its many activities, Ev-K2-CNR Committee
has always been committed to the promotion of the mountain environmental world among the
larger public and keen to disseminate its culture, its peculiarities and its utmost importance. That
is the reason why scientific research and development co-operation activities have always been
supported by a thorough communication program.
Pakistan, Saudia jointly
working for harmony,
unity: Pervaiz
Associated Press of Pakistan
February 17, 2014
ISLAMABAD:: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would continue to work jointly in harmony and unity as
their bond is established by common religion and the spirit of brotherhood. This was stated by
Senator Pervaiz Rashid, Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage in
a meeting with his Saudi counterpart Dr. Abdul Aziz Bin Mohieddin Khoja, Saudi Culture and
Information Minister. He said that Pakistan’s relations with Saudi Arabia were based on solid
foundations of Islamic identity, shared cultural heritage and commonality of perceptions on all
issues of international importance. Senator Pervaiz said that the mutual relationship was also
nurtured by love and reverence held by the people of Pakistan for Saudi Arabia, the country of
holy land. The minister said that the media can be used as an effective tool in countering
negative propaganda about Islam and building the true image of Ummah as a whole. He also
emphasized on the need to formalize the proposed idea of Pak-Saudi media friendship forum
between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This forum will not only prove instrumental in promoting
bilateral ties but would also help in understanding each other’s culture, as it would create an
opportunity for media persons for exchange of visits and learn from each other’s experiences and
best practices, the minister asserted. Senator Pervaiz said that the present democratic
government believes in freedom of expression and considers media as its partner in the
development of the country and in pointing out issues of public interest. He also emphasized on
the need for effective implementation of existing MOUs and projects of cooperation particularly in
the field of culture and media. He proposed to work on the joint productions, sharing information
and news stories and making exclusive documentaries to depict the true image and culture of
both countries. The minister said that mutual cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in
the field of media, culture and information would not only enhance bilateral ties but would also
prove benevolent in boosting the image of Muslim Ummah. Saudi Culture and Information
Minister emphasized on the need of frequent visits by the leadership of both countries to further
strengthen bilateral ties between the two brethren states. Saudi Minister also appreciated the
level of independence provided to media in Pakistan and underlined the need to implement the
existing level of cooperation. Dr. Abdul Aziz Bin Mohieddin Khoja also invited Senator Pervaiz
Rashid, Federal Minister for Information to visit Saudi Arabia for the formalization of existing
cooperation in the field of media between the two countries. Earlier, the minister received his
counterpart and welcomed him in the Ministry of Information. They both held an exclusive
meeting in which cooperation in the field of media, information and culture was discussed.
A briefing on the working and functioning of ministry was also given to the Saudi Minister. Saudi
Culture and Information Minister also paid a visit to Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA) and
Lok Virsa Museum, where he witnessed exhibition of paintings, Quranic calligraphy and cultural
performances by the local artists. Dr. Abdul Aziz Bin Mohieddin Khoja highly appreciated and
commended the work of Pakistani artists. The Minister hosted a lunch in the honour of the Guest
and thanked him for visiting the Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage and
hoped that his visit would go a long way in boosting bilateral relations between both countries.

Pakistan should be proud
of its Buddhist heritage:
Unesco chief

TAXILA: Director-General, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation
(Unesco), Irina Bokova has said Pakistan should be proud of Buddha’s heritage present on its
land. Ms Bokova, who is on a state visit to Pakistan with a six-member delegation, visited the
archaeological Museum Taxila on Friday.
She was talking to journalists after visiting the museum and the ancient city of Sirkap. The
Unesco chief said Pakistan had a rich archeological heritage and she was satisfied with the way
Gandhara civilisation sites were being preserved. She said all such sites on Unesco world
cultural heritage list were well protected and the process should continue.
Responding to a question, she said Unesco was supporting Pakistan in the improvement of
education and teaching facilities, and tackle illiteracy through better education. Earlier, she was
received by Saleemul Haq, director, Punjab Department of Archaeology and Museum, at the
museum. He briefed the visiting delegation about the history of Taxila Valley civilisation and
Buddhism. He said there were 4,000 objects on display at the museum. “Most of the objects on
display were from the period between 600BC to 500AD,” he said. Mr Haq said Gandhara was the
second holy land of the Buddhists, and it was the place from where Buddhism flourished. The
director-general took keen interest in the Buddhist antiquities and sculptures especially the huge
size images of the great Buddha. Later she visited Sirkap, the city that dates back to 2nd century
BC. The city was heavily influenced by the Greek city planning principles introduced to the area
after Alexander the Great’s conquest in the 3rd century BC. ISLAMABAD: Director-General,
Unesco, Irina Bokova, also visited Lok Virsa on Friday. A special cultural show and lunch was
hosted by the information secretary in the honour of the visiting dignitary. Minister of State for

four love stories from the four provinces of Pakistan — Heer Ranjha from Punjab, Adam Khan
Durkhane from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Dhola Maro from Sindh and Hani Shah Mureed from
Balochistan.

A cultural dose relieves
Karachi
Pakistan Today
February 16, 2014
KARACHI: The Sindh Festival 2014 was conceived as an antidote to anti-culture! It is a
celebration of the rich heritage that is Sindh, and indeed, Pakistan. It is in essence all of us. The
Sindh Fashion Festival, a component of the Sindh Festival, held on February 12 and 13 at NAPA
in Karachi was a treat for the senses. The event had two components, a two-day fashion
extravaganza showcasing some of the country’s finest talent and a fashion museum exhibit.
Day 1 opened with a dance performance choreographed by the internationally acclaimed dancer
Omar Rahim followed by the showing of bridal couture legend Bunto Kazmi’s incredible shawls,
which truly are works of art. The shawls were worn over clothes made by the Pink Tree and
complimented with jewelry by Amber Sami. This was followed by Fnk Asia’s collection depicting a
young fresh Sindh and Amir Adnan’s collection for high achievers. Amir Adnan’s showstopper
was the young and dynamic Shehryar Taseer who put the entire project together.
Nauman Arfeen’s collection, an ode to the black pheasant or kaala teetar drew inspiration from
nature. Zaheer Abbas’ ajrak collection showed the versatility of Sindh’s traditional fabric and how
ajrak could indeed go international. This was followed by a musical performance by Fuzon and
Sherry. Undoubtedly one of the country’s greatest designers, Umar Sayeed did not disappoint.
His beautifully crafted collection was a delight to view. The jewelry for this segment was provided
by Feathers. The evening closed with a fabulous performance by Akhtar Channar Zahri and the
dance ensemble O2. The iconic Nabila is the creative genius behind the show and her teams
from N-Pro and NGents have styled the models. Set design, construction, set-up and backstage
by Production 021. The show, including all the dances was choreograped by Omar Rahim. The
event was coordinated and managed by Tehmina Khaled of TakeII who used her PR skills to get
this beautiful side of Sindh out for the world to see. The second component, which runs from
February 12 to 15, is a stunning museum display featuring fashion by: Shamaeel Ansari, Sania
Maskatiya, Nida Azwer, Ismail Fareed, Fnk Asia, Mahin Hussain, Sofia Naveed Lari, Shamsha

HUL approach essential
for conservation of
national heritage
February 16, 2014
ISLAMABAD: Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach is essential for conservation and
preservation of national heritage and can improve urban planning in Pakistan, said Muhammad
Anwar Chaudhary, Chief Physical Planning and Housing, Planning Commission of Pakistan. He
was addressing participants of a Policy Dialogue on ‘Historic urban landscape: opportunities and
challenges in urban planning and local governance’ here at Institute of Social and Policy
Sciences (ISPS). Chaudhary said that unfortunately urban planning was not on the agenda of our
policy-makers, political leadership and civil society organisations. He said that local community
should also be included in the planning and decision-making processes as no plan could achieve
desired results and sustainability without the ownership of the community. He called for having
proper urban policy at national, provincial and district levels. He observed that the role of local
government will be crucial while implementing Historic Urban Landscape approach.
Dr Ron VAN OERS, Vice Director of Unesco World Heritage Institute of Training and Research
for Asia and Pacific, said that the Historic Urban Landscape codified in the ‘Recommendation on
the Historic Urban Landscape’, adopted by Unesco’s General Conference on Nov 10, 2011, is an
approach for the management of heritage resources in dynamic, constantly changing cities. He
said that HUL approach provides a set of general principles in support of sustainable urban
heritage management that integrates environmental, social and cultural concerns into the
planning, design and implementation of urban management programmes.
Ali Imran, District Officer, Spatial Planning, Rawalpindi, said that introduction of HUL is significant
from the standpoint of the timing as we are on the threshold of introducing new local governance
system which will have substantial consequences for the urban planning architecture at local
level. He remarked that although urban planning is an area which affects every individual’s life, it
does not figure prominently in the mainstream development discourse. It is important to
undertake sincere and timely measures in order to address the challenge of rapidly growing
cities. He hoped that this pilot project could help bring the larger issues concerning urban
planning to the policy and the development discourse and has all the potential to lead towards
developing a much needed technical and political interface to address the challenges of urban
planning and local governance in Pakistan.
Pakistan celebrates
cultural awakening
www.arabnews.com
February 15, 2014
At last, Pakistan is singing, dancing and rejoicing. Don’t mistake these happy moments for a
complete reversal of the country’s fortunes. Pakistan is experiencing some sort of a cultural
revival and celebrating the Sindh Cultural Festival. The government of Pakistan’s Sindh province
has organized a two-week long cultural extravaganza to highlight region’s rich cultural heritage.
The very familiar Superman logo, clad in traditional Sindhi ajrak, symbolizes the event, which
kicked off at the historic Moenjodaro with a dazzling opening ceremony. Organizing the event
required a special, superhero effort as well. The country’s self-pride and self-belief has been
bruised by a bleak economic and security outlook over the past decade. In such torrid times,
conceptualizing an event to celebrate the country’s glorious past and hidden treasures deserves
great admiration. Unsurprisingly, the festival has come under criticism from different quarters.
The grand opening ceremony has been lashed at for endangering the ancient ruins of
Moenjodaro. Similarly, the festival is also being viewed as part of a massive public campaign to
boost the political career of Bilawal Bhutto, the son of the slain ex-Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto,
and former President Asif Ali Zardari. Use of public funds to present Bilawal as the savior of
Sindh’s culture and heritage has not gone down too well with other political parties as well.
13
Further, other critics argue that the country has other critical issues like low literacy rate, sluggish
economy and crippling energy crisis, that deserve immediate attention. The millions of rupees
spent on the festival could have been dedicated to tackling these issues on a priority.
While some arguments provided by the skeptics remain valid, there is a need for taking a broader
perspective to the event. The Sindh Festival offers Pakistan a chance of revitalizing culture and
overcoming the cultural coup from foreign influences. Due to the rise of extremist forces, the
country’s rich culture has been shrouded in darkness. Cultural expression has been limited due
to attacks on cinemas, art galleries and electronic media, which tried hard to fight these
autocratic forces. Culture began to die a slow death in Pakistan as threats of violent attacks
forced the countrymen to stay away from such cultural displays. Cultural decline can be
witnessed in daily affairs of the state through weak political discourse, a civil society held hostage
by a handful of rightists and manipulation of rules to benefit the privileged and well-connected.
The highly vocal conservatives in Pakistan would also make one believe that the country’s
cultural woes have been exacerbated by the invasion of Indian and Turkish films and television
dramas. To them, Pakistan’s youth is being corrupted by these immoral and vulgar forms of art
as part of a wider global conspiracy. It is hoped that the festival will help lift the spirits of
Pakistanis and develop a greater sense of pride in them. Although the event is a step in the right
direction, it alone would not be sufficient in shaping a cultural renaissance in Pakistan. By stirring
a greater interest in the country’s culture and traditions, the government can also counter
ideological differences with extremists who now wield a great influence on Pakistan’s society.
All Pakistan Mushaira:
Continuing literary journey
Business Recorder
February 15, 2014
The Sindh Cultural Festival has been inaugurated at heritage site of the ancient city of
Moenjodaro last Saturday. Many cultural events has been organised to commemorate the
cultural heritage of Sindh to participate in the festival. In this connection with the objective of
reviving the tradition of `Mushaira', which has been a part of our culture since the Mughal times,
a grand All Pakistan Mushaira was organised by Aaj News. The lush green gardens of the
Mohatta Palace Museum were brought to life with vibrant hues and tastes of poetry at the
occasion of a grand All Pakistan Mushaira. This was the first time a mushaira is held at Mohatta
Palace Museum. The spectacular event was attended by renowned poets of our country who
recited their poetry and collect praise from the audience. The chief guest of the Mushaira was
Sehar Ansari and Fahmida Riaz and the event presided by Rasa Chughtai whereas hosted by
famous poetess Nasira Zuberi. She recited poems from her latest book of poetry "Kaanch ka
Chiragh" which become very popular among poetry lovers beside her earlier book "Shagoon". A
large number of people attended the mushaira and appreciated and praised the poetry. The
poets highlighted the social issues through their funny and sometimes, hard hitting kalaams. The
poetry deals mainly with real life issues some reflects on the social life and other on
contemporary issues in a light as well as harsh way. Poetry lovers were seen enjoying Mushaira
with keen smiles and appreciating the poets. Guests made themselves comfortable at the lawns
of Mohatta Palace Museum enjoying Kashmiri tea and snacks. The stage was decorated
accordingly to reflect the Sindh's culture by placing various traditional pots and vases of unique
Sindhi styles and designs.
The main objective of organising the mushaira was to revive the lost tradition of mushaira and to
emphasise the fact that even today young writers from across the country choose poetry as a
vehicle for their creative expression. Renowned Urdu poets of our country participated in the
mushaira last week to name a few; Sabir Zafar, Saail Azad, Abdul Ghafoor Tabassum, Javed
Saba, Khalid Moin, Ajmal Siraj, Fazil Jamili, Ajmal Siraj, Rehana Rohi, Aqeel Abbas Jafri, Fahim
Shams Kazmi, Syed Kashif Raza, Ambreen, Haseeb Amber, Seema Ghazal, Chandar Kashwani,
Bakhsh Meerani, Riaz Tasneem, Kashif Ghayar, Syed Kami Shah, Tauqeer Taqi, Masooma
Sherazi and Zaheer Abbas. All in all, the event was a success and it is hoped that Aaj News
continues its efforts in taking our national and regional poetry to new level of appreciation and
promote and support the poets in continuing their literary journey.

India and Pakistan share the same history, and even have similar cultures, but many
misconceptions exist among citizens across the borders. In an effort to bring them closer, 12
Pakistani artistes of Tehrik-e-Niswan, a cultural organisation, will perform Kathak, Bharatnatyam,
and Odissi dances on poetry of the two nations, here from February 14 to 16 at different places.
Performances will be held as part of the India Pakistan Culture Connect – Joint Celebrations for

showing political defiance. Anwer Jafri, a playwright, said notions like fundamentalism and
religious intolerance about his country were not true. The 12-member delegation includes Saima

Pakistani siblings Mirza
Ali, Samina Baig scale
Tanzania’s Mount
Kilimanjaro
Pakistan Today
February 13, 2014
ISLAMABAD- Pakistani siblings Mirza Ali and Samina Baig reached the summit of Mount
Kilimanjaro (5895m) in Tanzania on Wednesday.
Mirza Ali was overjoyed when reporting this latest achievement from the top of the summit, “It
feels fantastic! We made it to the top today after facing heavy snow fall and rain. It feels so good
to have gotten here at last.” The siblings are currently engaged in an Adventure Diplomacy
Expedition, which is supported by the Embassies of Republic of Argentina, Republic of
Indonesia, Nepal, Russian Federation, United States of America, and the Serena Hotels. Late
last year, on December 13, 2013, the pair reached the summit of Argentina’s Mount Aconcagua
(6962m). This achievement was quickly followed by their summit of Mount Vinson Massif
(4892m) in Antarctica.
With this third, most recent summit, the siblings are well on their way to conquering seven of the
world’s tallest peaks across seven continents. If they are successful, they will be the first brothersister duo to have completed this feat. Through this expedition, Mirza and Samina hope to help
build a positive image for Pakistan’s tourism industry and promote women’s empowerment.
Samina Baig is already a national hero in Pakistan.
Originally from Shimshal Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, she was the first Pakistani woman and the
youngest Muslim in the world to climb Mount Everest in May 2013. With much of the world’s
media focused on Pakistan’s security situation, the siblings’ attempt to bring about change
through this expedition is a welcome attempt to shift some of the public discourse back to the
country’s ambitious and talented youth. Next, the mountaineers will be heading to Bali, Indonesia
to summit Mount Carstenz Pyramid (4884m). They are expected to complete the Adventure
Diplomacy Expedition in August 2014.
Lok Virsa documents

AAJ TV
February 13, 2012
Lok Virsa in collaboration with Norwegian Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren) has
published a comprehensive book on “Children Folk Games of Pakistan and Norway” for
documenting the folk culture of the two countries. National Institute of Folk and Traditional
Heritage, Lok Virsa published the book under the Joint Institutional Cooperation (JIC)
Programme between the Pakistan and Norway. The 100-page book contains 24 folk games
along with description, number of players, preparations, steps and rules required for each game.
It also comprises sketches and photographic representations so as to facilitate the readers to
understand easily how to play these traditional games.
The introductory part gives the readers an idea that it is primarily a book written for children.
However, it can also create interest in grownups, as all people cherish memories of childhood.
The games introduced in the book will let children know that they belong to the broad fraternity of
the children of the world. A bare reading of the book provides that games played by Norwegian
and Pakistani children are the same. Executive Director, Lok Virsa, Khalid Javaid, who is also a
renowned folklorist and craft expert, said “the book is for all ages because we have to remember
that people of the world were once happy children and as we grow old we have a duty to return
the same spirit of enjoyment and harmony among our children. The book took me back to the

days of my childhood, and I found myself playing these games with friends and within my family.
Some of them are lost in the wide world of opportunities and fame but they may find some bond
in the games that we played together. It may remind them of the grandeur of olden times when
we found happiness and quiet around everywhere we looked”. The book is a welcome addition to
all that Lok Virsa and Norwegian partners have done to develop better trust and understanding
between our two friendly countries, he added. The Chief of Lok Virsa also praised for the
contribution of the Royal Norwegian Government, in particular its mission in Pakistan for their
support in documenting and preserving the rich culture and traditions of Pakistan through JIC
programme. He also mentioned his own administrative ministry – National Heritage and
Integration Division – for their patronage and enabling facilitation which resulted in materializing
of such an important idea. He was of the view that this effort would serve a long way in creating
awareness among the youth community in understanding the cultural heritage of not only
Pakistan and but also Norway where a large number of Pakistani community is residing and
contributing to the development of Norway.
ISLAMABAD: The National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage (Lok Virsa) has renovated
the open-air transport museum located in front of Pakistan National Museum of Ethnology
(Heritage Museum). The museum presents a full-size truck, a traditional houseboat from
Manchar lake of Sindh province, a ‘tonga’ with horse, a bullock cart with two bulls and a wooden
‘baradari’ from Swat valley. All these displays decorated with traditional paraphernalia look like
real to the visitors and they are compelled to appreciate them. New management of Lok Virsa is
fully concentrating on renovation, improvement and expansion of all Lok Virsa public facilities,
especially those related to Heritage Museum. The open-air transport museum displays were
renovated in January 2014 within a targeted period.
Talking to media, Lok Virsa Executive Director Shahera Shahid said open-air transport museum
is an integral part of Heritage Museum and its purpose is to preserve cultural traditions of
Pakistan and to acquaint the younger generation about our indigenous folk heritage. Many trucks
and buses in Pakistan are decorated by their owners. These adorned vehicles are considered as
moving art. Because of their unique décor and style, these vehicles are quite different in layout
from other trucks around the world. Each part of the vehicle is decorated differently with
variations depending on the regional style. This decoration includes painting, calligraphy and
ornamental décor. Mirror work on front & back and wooden carving on the door is commonly
used. The exterior of the truck is often adorned with folk poetry. The traditional ‘tonga’, a twowheel carrier once a popular mode of urban transportation is now becoming a thing of the past
after being expelled from city streets and replaced by noisy motorcycle rickshaws.
A bullock cart or ox cart is a two-wheel vehicle pulled by oxen (draught cattle). It is a common
means of transportation used since ancient times in many parts of the world. They are still used
today where modern vehicles are too expensive or the infrastructure does not favour them. Used
specially for carrying wood, the bullock cart is pulled by one or several oxen (bullocks). The cart
is attached to a bullock team by a special chain.

Celebrating heritage of
Pakistani community
Peterborough Today
February 10, 2014
Sixty years ago the late Choudhry Fakeer Mohammed became the first Pakistani to arrive in
Peterborough. Now, six decades later, the Pakistan Community Association of Peterborough has
become one of the first community groups in the UK to receive a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)
Sharing Heritage grant. The £8,500 will be used to hold a six-week exhibition at Peterborough
Museum from 15 April to 1 June 2014, recording British-Pakistani community history in the city
and how the community has grown from a group of migrants to an established embedded
community of an estimated 15,000 people. The association is now asking members of the
community to come forward to share their experiences and photographs for the exhibition. The
project, titled 60th year of arrival in the city, has been led by Raja Tahir Masood. He came to the
city in 1978 with his mother and brothers, 20 years after the arrival of his late father who had
served in Burma during World War II. He said: “There has been so much change in the city, and
my experience of it has been very positive. We have a great relationship with people such as
Gillian Beasley, who has reviewed my previous books. “I come from Pakistan, but I’m very proud
to be British as well. I was asked recently on my views and I said that I would like to see more of
the traditional British way of life. “Our street celebrates a couple of times a year, with garden
parties and Union Jack flags, and I feel proud to be part of that.” The Pakistan Community
Association of Peterborough was formed in 1988 with support from the Peterborough City
Council. It is an umbrella association made up of eight smaller cultural and community groups,
plus two mosques Faizan-e-Madinah and Jamia Ghousia.
Commenting on the award, Association Chairman Ghulam Shabbir said: “We are delighted with
the award of this grant, our project will be a unique and first to record 60 years of the community
heritage history in photographs, which could become a toolkit for the future generations.” He
further added that the Museum exhibition will offer a great learning experience for young people,
and he is actively encouraging all Peterborough schools to take their pupils to the exhibition.

Three pioneers of the community in Peterborough
Born in the northern Punjab town of Dina in Pakistan, Haji Mohammed Afzal arrived in Britain in
1959 and lived at St Ives before coming to Peterborough in 1965. He worked in a bakery before
establishing a hairdressing shop in 1969, although he is now retired and living a quiet family life.
He still continues to run his barber shop part time, and he says this keeps his mind occupied. He
says that it is a good city for migrants, and he has seen it expand and grow considerably.
Mohammed Nazir arrived in Britain in May 1958 and found the local residents to be warm and
welcoming. The same could not be said of his first night spent shivering under the Guildhall.
Arriving with friends Fazal Mussain and Mohammed Yaqoob, a mutual friend provided them with
transport from Bedford and informed them that Peterborough was a city of opportunity with good
employment prospects. Unfortunately the trio had only been in the country for a short period and
did not know how to gain accommodation, so with nightfall fast approaching they had little choice
but to sleep rough in the city centre. The second night was little better, spent in the railway
station waiting room. On the third day, in sheer desperation, they headed to the nearest
residential area: Cromwell Road. Knocking on individual doors in a bid for desperation the three
were taken in by Italian families. He worked for several employers including Perkins for 25 years,
before retiring and now living a quiet family life at Clarence Road as a respected elder of the
community. Abdul Rahman arrived in Britain in 1961 and worked for British Rail for more than 40
years, before retiring and now living a quiet family life.
‘Culture, rich traditions

beauty’
Daily Times
February 10, 2014
KARACHI: Pakistan has a beauty that can best be seen in its culture and rich traditions, Consul
General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Karachi Dr Tilo Klinner at a dinner hosted by him
for guests participating in the three-day 5th Karachi Literature Festival, said a statement issued
on Sunday.
The German diplomat said that literature opens the horizons and expands the vision of the
human, guiding them towards accommodation and harmony with their fellow beings and
promoting peace. The Karachi Literature Festival’s Peace Prize-2014 is meant to recognise and
honour such achievements. Dr Klinner said the peace prize was a joint project of the Consulate
General of Germany in Karachi, the Embassy of Germany in Islamabad and the Karachi
Literature Festival. “It aims to recognise books promoting peace, international understanding and
tolerance. It is awarded by a jury comprising eminent Pakistani academics and human rights
activists and carries a cash prize of 3,000 euros,” he said.
Special Envoy of the Government of Federal Republic of Germany for Afghanistan and Pakistan,
who has also served as German Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr Michael Koch, said he was glad to
be back among so many friends. He said that books and literature bring out the best in mankind.
The literature celebrates diverse cultures and encourages tolerance of one another, he said.
Oxford University Press managing director and founding member of Karachi Literature Festival
Ameena Saiyid said the festival was meant to pay tribute to and celebrate authors, books, ideas
and readers.
Heritage sites to be used
as venue to educate young
generation
Daily Times
February 10, 2014
ISLAMABAD: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), plans
to use the World Heritage Sites of Pakistan as venue for educating young generation and
teaching them about this long human history. “These sites are wonderful venue for school visits
and teaching the youngsters about history of different cultures and this is what UNESCO says
about world heritage,” said Irina Bokova, Director General UNESCO during her recent visit to
17
Taxila. The people of Pakistan should feel proud particularly the local people to have such unique
and interesting sites, they have to continue protecting and preserving their heritage and also
continue with the archaeological findings, she said in an interview with APP.
In a message to people of Pakistan, Ms Bokova said, this is the side that shows the influences.
There is no unique culture in the world and even there is no culture that is isolated. There exists
a message about respect, dialogue and passing it on to the next generations. “It is very important
to preserve the authenticity and we want to use our sites as venues to teach our young
generation. Pakistan has extraordinary heritage inscribed on UNESCOs list which is all about
contribution of different civilizations”. “The uniqueness of the Taxila site is in different layers of
cultures and civilizations as we see the influences of Buddhism, Hinduism and Greek culture
also, every thing in a perspective, I believe this is so much needed today to talk about dialogue
among cultures about the contribution of all these different civilizations that are here,” she
expressed her thoughts about the World Heritage Site of Taxila. “I am impressed by the diligent
attitude of Pakistani people and authorities towards preservation of Gandhara culture and such
interesting and unique sites. I have seen exposition of Gandhara culture in paris, when it came
there and visited five years ago and exposed this one of the important museum but here I have
seen much more and one feels happy to be here,” Ms Bokova remarked.About UNESCO’s plans
for promotion and protection of these sites, she said there is no culture which is isolated and it is
important to preserve the authenticity of any culture. For this reason, she said, We want to
preserve the archaeological sites to educate the young generation about the historical value of
this region through dialogue on culture.
Taxila, one of the six World Heritage sites of Pakistan, is inscribed on the World Heritage List in
1980 that comprises a vast complex of archaeological heritage, the site includes a Mesolithic
cave, 4 settlement sites, a number of Buddhist monasteries of various periods and Muslim
Mosques of the medieval period as well as presence of the Buddhist Stupa and monasteries at
Taxila from 1st to 5th Century A.D.
To redress the issue of growing wild vegetation (bio-deterioration) at the sites of Sirkup and
Sirsukh, Bhirmound, Dharmarajika and Giri causing deterioration to the structure, UNESCO
Islamabad is working closely with the Department of Archaeology Punjab and Comsats Institute
of Information Technology (CIIT) through capacity building and awareness raising of the staff on
conservation methods against bio-deterioration for the protection of the sites.
The Museum carries the reflections connected to the chronology of Taxila, life of Gautam
Buddha, glimpses of the artifacts, Buddha sculptures and historical belongings of the Buddhists
made up of lead, silver and gold that date back to 3rd Century B.C.
National flair: Pakistan
teams show off culture at
Shell Eco-marathon
The Express Tribune
February 9, 2014
MANILA: Thailand dominated the scoreboard at the Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2014 as the race
heads into its second day today.
Competing in the “prototype” and “urban concept” models – across various energy sources
ranging from electric battery to gasoline – the Thai teams demonstrated their superiority on the
track that was designed after borrowing public roads.
While the alternate arrangement made it more challenging for the competing students, former
champions from Thailand, team Luk Jao Mae Khlong Prapa of the Dhurakij Pubdit University took
the overall lead, driving the equivalent of 1,753.58 kilometres on a single litre of ethanol. Team
ATE.1 of the Kong Thabbok Upatham Changkol Kho So Tho Bo School, also from Thailand, led
the scoreboard with a distance of 1,074.12 km on a litre of petrol. One ray of hope for Pakistan
was Hammer Head ARC of the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and
Technology that drove the equivalent of 159.95 km per kilowatt hour and stood fifth in its electric
battery category in the prototype model. After staying second, the team’s position fell in its
category after the afternoon session.
The culture display
However, Hammer Head ARC, along with PNEC-NUST from the National University of Sciences
and Technology (NUST) in Karachi, turned heads with their show of Pakistan culture in their
booths inside the paddock area. Showing off tradition as they grasped the opportunity at a multination event, the students were not only occupied with fine-tuning their vehicle design but also
decorating their booths with the country’s flags, national dress and the cricket team’s jersey.
Pakistan Ambassador to the Philippines Safdar Hayat visited the venue, meeting students as he
looked on in intrigue at the unique nature of the competition. “There is no shortage of talent in
Pakistan students,” Hayat said. “They just need to be disciplined.”
Commenting on the logistical issues that faced the students in reaching the venue with several
teams being unable to participate and backing out at the last minute, Hayat said the restrictions
would be eased out for next year’s event. “This is easy to solve. For next year, support would be
extended to the teams and guidance would be given. This is a new place for many people and
helping them in, let’s say, arranging parts for their vehicles would be done from next year. I
hadn’t been informed of Pakistan teams participating in the event, otherwise, we could have
made arrangements.”
With tourists in mind, India
relaxes visa norms
www.timesofoman.com
February 9, 2014
MUSCAT: The Indian government has approved an ambitious plan to extend the visa-on-arrival
facility to tourists from almost all countries, including Oman, barring a handful categorised as
"sensitive" due to the security risk they pose.
The move aims to make it easier for tourists to visit India and has been extended to 180
countries. However, Pakistan, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Somalia are
eight countries kept out of the list. "It is a major move and we hope it will boost tourism in a big
18
way. We hope to implement this from the next tourist session beginning in October," India's
Minister of State for Planning and Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla was quoted by the media as
saying.
Currently, India extends visa-on-arrival facility to 11 countries, not including Oman. The move is
expected to usher in a major revamp of India's tourist visa system. The model likely to be put in
place will do away with the need to visit an Indian mission but will require tourists to make an
online application before their departure. The Bureau of Immigration will set up a website for this
and upon submission of an application, it will email an electronic visa/travel authorisation within
2-3 days, allowing the tourist to enter India and also facilitate easier verification at airports. Once
in India, they will have to undergo just one biometric identification to get the visa, which will be
valid for 30 days and would not be renewed. The facility will be available at 26 airports.
"Implementation of decision hinges on boosting infrastructure and staff at the immigration
counters across airports. The government hopes to have these resources in place by September
so that the new system can be rolled out in time for the tourist season," the Indian government
officials said.
In 2013, the Indian embassy in Oman issued a record 59,000 visas to Omani nationals in 2013,
signifying a robust flow of tourists from Oman to India. Meanwhile, the government of India is
also planning to issue the new-generation electronic passport, which aims to secure the data and
curb the menace of fake passports, by next year, Indian media quoted a senior government
official as saying. "A task force has been set up to look into the e-passport project, which has
held deliberations with different stakeholders (departments). We are planning to start issuing epassports to new applicants by next year," Joint Secretary (Passport Seva Project) and Chief
Passport Officer Muktesh K Pardeshi told media.
According, to him the e-passport will replace the existing passport document with a plastic card
embedded with an electronic chip containing all the details of the passport holder, including
biometric information, besides a digital signature of a passport officer.

Realising the need for passing on the rich knowledge of cultural heritage to the youth, Unesco is
currently working on integrating intangible cultural heritage into the curricula, said a press
release. The project helps link the cultural practices of the tradition bearers and practitioners with
the formal school system, besides supporting the education ministry establish a database of
cultural assets. In this connection, Unesco Director General Irina Bokova during her two-day stay
in Pakistan visited Taxila and Lok Virsa in Islamabad on Friday. During the guided tour of the
museum, she inquired about the sculptures and other objects dating back to the Gandhara
period. “People of Pakistan must be proud of its heritage,” Bokova said. “Taxila is a unique site
showing so many layers of civilizations, from prehistoric heritage to Greeks to Buddhist and
Islamic culture. This is a wellspring of creativity, an open book for tolerance, mutual
understanding and dialogue, both within the country and abroad.” Later she also visited the
Sirkap site.
Talking about the tourism potential of the site, she said that it can attract national and
international visitors. Appreciating the efforts of the governments in the restoration and
preservation of historical artefacts, she emphasised the involvement of youth in this important
work.
To address the issue of bio-deterioration at the sites of Sirkap and Sirsukh, Bhirmound,
Dharmarajika and Giri, Unesco is helping the Punjab Department of Archaeology by training its
staff on modern conservation techniques. “The cultural richness and diversity of Pakistan is the
foundation of inclusive citizenship. It shows that there is no such thing as “pure” culture in the
19
world. Cultures interact, cultures influence and talk to each other, like the Buddha with the Greek
hairdo I saw in the museum. Preserving and promoting this heritage will give people the strength
and confidence to promote peace and dialogue,” said Bokova. Taxila is one of the six world
heritage sites of Pakistan. The museum has a covered area of 60,000 square feet exhibiting nine
halls or galleries.
During her visit to the National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage or Lok Virsa at
Shakarparian, a cultural show was presented. Artists from the Pakistan National Council of the
Arts presented folk and traditional dances and songs. Bokova also took a round of National
Museum of Ethnology. She was very impressed with the cultural dioramas in the museum,
depicting the diversity of Pakistani culture and lifestyles. She took keen interest in the display of
“Truck Art” “hall of ballads and romances” presenting four epic love stories — ‘Heer Ranjha’ from
Punjab, ‘Adam Khan Durkhane’ from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, ‘Dhola Maro’ from Sindh and ‘Hani
Shah Mureed’ from Balochistan. The Unesco head lauded the efforts of Lok Virsa management
in documenting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan.

Attique for expanding
cross-LoC cooperation
ISLAMABAD: Jammu & Kashmir Muslim Conference (MC) President Sardar Attique Ahmed
Khan has called for expanding cross-LoC cooperation by visits of the heads of Pakistan
administered Kashmir (PaK) and J&K administrations and opening of the entire Line of Control
(LoC) for free travel, trade and tourism. He also urged Pakistan and India to initiate serious
dialogue to resolve Kashmir issue. Attique said he was worried about the possible influx of
militants from Afghanistan into Kashmir if Pakistan and India failed to start result-oriented talks
before the end of 2014. “It is high time the two countries initiate meaningful dialogue as there are
apprehensions that informal fighters may move towards the mountains of Kashmir after
withdrawal of the bulk of foreign troops from Afghanistan by December 2014. However, it is also
necessary that the Kashmiris are involved in the dialogue process,” Attique said in an interview to
Pakistani daily The Express Tribune. Attique twice served as the prime minister of Pakistan
administered Kashmir. “The withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan will definitely
encourage informal fighters who might consider it essential to continue their activities in an old
war theatre such as Kashmir,” Attique said. He also suggested a number of measures that could
broaden the scope of understanding among the Kashmiris from both sides – PaK and J&K – to
facilitate ‘securing the right to self-determination’. The former AJK premier also suggested
formation of a joint Kashmir self-determination forum, inter-Kashmir visits by the heads of
Muzaffarabad and Srinagar administrations and opening of the entire Line of Control for free
travel, trade and tourism. “Security issues in South Asia must be addressed by the political
leadership of the whole region,” he said while floating the idea of a dialogue among the military
leaderships of both South Asian countries simultaneously alongside their political leadership.
Govt to help protect

projecting Pakistan’s magnificent cultural heritage at national and international levels.Addressing
a ceremony of handing over of video recording and editing equipment by the Japanese

as through it we can defeat those who want to eliminate our rich cultural pluralism and diversity.”
The minister acknowledged the Japanese assistance in the cultural field and assured full support
on behalf of his ministry and the government for effective implementation of Japan-funded
cultural initiatives.He said the Japanese government was contributing significantly to the
promotion of Pakistani culture through an ongoing joint institutional cooperation programme by
Lok Virsa and the Japanese Embassy. The minister said investment in culture was linked with
the protection and promotion of cultural heritage with a view to enhance and improve the image
of country and boost tourism.“Pakistan is highly rich in culture, which contains diversity and it is
also blessed with various architectural monuments that represent a symbol of excellence,” he
added. “Our socio-economic cultural links are rooted in the great Indus Valley civilisation, which
is 5,000 years old. We are also witnessing a globalisation of culture, in which people while
retaining their distinct cultural origins, are finding common grounds to interact do business and
build relationships with each other.”Pervaiz Rashid said Pakistan’s relations with Japan had
always stood the test of time since the establishment of diplomatic ties. “Both have convergence
of views on practically all international issues and have supported each other at various world
forums. We are thankful to Japan, which has always come to help and rescue Pakistan in times
of need and natural calamities like earthquake and devastating floods.”

in friendship, trade and bilateral relationship. The basis of this friendship is already in existence
when the two countries signed Free Trade Agreement in 2007 and establishment of Pakistan
SriLanka Business Forum (PSBF) in 2008. PSBF have received a lot of encouragement by the
positive feedback results from visits undertaken by members of the Pakistan business community
to seek new areas of co-operation. Tourism, communication, real estate development, finance,
textiles etc are just a few areas where potential for alliance and mutual co-operation is wide
open. Although, the trade balance is tilted on the Pakistan side, we are striving to improve the
balance through our Pakistan SriLanka Business Forum for a balanced trade.
As President of the Pakistan SriLanka Business Forum PSBF, I wish to send a message to all
Pakistan Business community to use PSBF platform in expanding their business in SriLanka. The
country has great business potential and the government is highly motivated to bring in foreign
investments in various fields. We at PSBF are fully equipped to facilitate all the people aspiring
for overseas business and also those who wish to expand their market share. Since the
establishment of this forum, various entrepreneurs have joined various trade delegations which
21
PSBF has arranged to visit SriLanka.
SUCCESS STORIES: Through this forum, we have added new commodities such as rubber
which is now a regular trade item. Corporate such as General Tyre & Rubber Co are among the
list of businesses which have benefited from this Forum. Hence, we feel that there still exists a
tremendous potential to improve the volumes of trade to a much higher level. Till to date several
delegations have been organised by the Forum and these delegations have visited Sri Lanka to
enable meetings with concerned business communities and government authorities. This has
given the delegates all the required information and procedures for setting up business in Sri
Lanka. Likewise delegations from Sri Lanka have also visited Pakistan and the Forum provided
full support to them.
OBJECTIVE: Forum will continue to work rigorously to expand bilateral trade by focusing on core
areas of Sri Lanka which have great potential of growth. Tourism, infrastructural development,
communication and city planning, are areas where Pakistan's experience and expertise can
combine together for mutual benefits.
MISSION 2013: This year the Forum will be engaged with the local community to assist in setting
up businesses such as;
-- Tourism
-- Restaurants
-- Fashion Outlets
-- Aviation
-- Financial Services
-- Power projects
-- Real Estate Development
INVESTMENT COMMITTEE: A committee of three members has been established which is
assisting all business people in Pakistan who are aspiring to set up businesses in Sri Lanka. This
committee identifies the opportunity for a particular business as stated above and then provides a
complete business plan. This Forum stands out from other conventional forums as we also assist

FUTURE PLANS: The forum has already identified business opportunities for certain Pakistani
business groups who have already starting work on the following sectors
-- Real Estate Development

commendable job to make people aware of Pakistani culture. “This grant from the Japan
government and the people of Japan will surely contribute towards preservation of folk and
traditional culture of Pakistan,” the ambassador said.
Minister Rasheed thanked the Japan government for its grant for Lok Virsa and said investment
in culture is linked with promotion and protection of culture heritage. Rasheed said the
government is determined to support all projects that benefit the country’s rural communities,
especially folk artists and craftspeople. “This is the path towards global peace and this is the path
through which we can defeat those want to eliminate our rich cultural pluralism and diversity,” he
said. Mitsuyoshi Kawasaki, the chief representative of the Japan International Cooperation
Agency in Pakistan, said an ongoing joint institutional cooperation programme between Japan
and Lok Virsa was launched in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Pak-Japan bilateral ties.
The handover ceremony also marks 60 years of cooperation between JICA and the Pakistani
government, Kawasaki said. He said the equipment will help achieve four objectives — enriching
collection and dissemination of folk culture, integrating cultural diversity for achievement of
national peace, supporting folk artists and artisans, and accomplishing excellence in academic
and research fields with the help of documented audiovisual records. The equipment is the third
grant in aid the Japanese government has given Lok Virsa. Previous grants in 1987 and in 1994
22
helped in installing the studio, a control room and analogue recording equipment. Shahera
Shahid, the executive director of Lok Virsa, said the previous Japanese grants and equipment
enabled Lok Virsa to record 12 hours of video and 3,500 hours of audio. Shahid said the media
centre at the Lok Virsa executes audiovisual documentation of Pakistani culture including
recording of oral traditions and performing arts.
The ceremony ended with a cultural programme featuring performances by rubab player Zafar
Ali, alghoza player Akbar Khamiso Khan and a Balochi troupe that included singer Akhtar
Channal. The performances were recorded using the new equipment.Lok Virsa is a governmentrun institution that also runs a heritage museum, a sound archive, a research centre and a
museum.
Unesco was against
holding ceremony at
Moenjodaro
Daily Dawn
February 4, 2014
ISLAMABAD: The Sindh Cultural Festival took off amid dazzling lights, but the din continues that
it threatens Moenjodaro, the inaugural place of the festival listed with the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) as a world heritage site.
About a week before the launch of the two-week festival at Moenjodaro on Friday, the director of
Unesco’s world heritage sites had described it as an ‘improper’ activity which could threaten its
universal values. But adviser to the Sindh chief minister on culture Sharmila Farooqi said all
precautions had been taken during the inaugural ceremony at the ancient site. Conservationists
at the department of archaeology and museum said any human activity within 200 feet of any
national heritage protected under the Antiquities Act 1975 was illegal. “The act states that not
even an electric wire can pass above a national heritage, let alone installing floodlights and
setting up stage on a site protected under the law,” said a senior archaeologist in Islamabad. The
technical consultative committee of National Fund for Moenjodaro had also warned that the
decision to hold inaugural ceremony at the site could cause irreparable damage to the fragile
remains of Moenjodaro.
Unesco official Jawad Aziz said the organisation’s world heritage sites director had contacted
Pakistan’s permanent delegate to investigate the matter and take steps to prevent the site from
any harm. “About five days ago we passed on this message to the Sindh government to
safeguard the universal value of Moenjodaro,” he said, adding that they were still waiting for a
response from the departments concerned. Asma Ibrahim, director museum of the State Bank
and member of the Heritage Management Board, criticised the holding of the ceremony at
Moenjodaro and said no-one had been allowed to enter the site for three days and access to it
was blocked by hundreds of policemen. “More than 500 guests were invited to the event which
continued till late night. There is no way to tell the extent of damage caused to the site. The
remains of Moenjodaro are already fragile. Salinity has weakened the walls to an extent that they
can collapse by even loud sound,” she said, adding that the mud-brick remains required extra
care.Ms Ibrahim said she had tried in vain to convince Sharmila Farooqi to hold the ceremony
outside the 200-foot protected area. The event had been held without obtaining a no-objection
certificate from the Sindh department of archaeology, she said, adding that cases should be
registered for violating the law.
Kaleemullah Lashari, Member National Fund for Moenjodaro, wrote two back-to-back letters to
the Sindh secretary for culture, tourism and antiquities warning of the damage to be caused to
the ruins by the opening ceremony. In a letter written on Jan 30, a copy of which is available with
Dawn, Mr Lashari urged the secretary to use vast lawns of the museum and offices for the
ceremony, instead of protected areas of the site. “The world community does not endorse such
improper activity and it will be an embarrassment if a wall of the remains collapses or any other
fragile section of the remains is damaged,” the letter said. No conservation efforts have been
undertaken at Moenjodaro for over 10 years. A better sense prevailed in 2010 when the
government stopped the construction of a highway through the ancient remains believed to be as
old as 4,000 BC.
Sharmila Farooqi claimed that no harm was caused to the world heritage site. “Arrangements for
the event were meticulous. All the officials concerned and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari (PPP patron-inchief) personally visited the site before the opening ceremony,” she added. But Asma Ibrahim
said the damage could be assessed only after the government allowed access to the site which
was still closed to outsiders and its caretakers.
Culture festival opens in
ancient Pakistani ruins

February 02, 2014
MOHENJODARO, Pakistan (AP) Folk dancers and singers wearing traditional multicolored
dresses took the stage Saturday at one of the world's most ancient archaeological sites in
southern Pakistan for a festival that organizers say aspires to promote peace in a nation where
political violence has left some 40,000 dead in recent years. The festival at Mohenjodaro aims to
publicize the cultural heritage of the country's south. But it drew controversy when some
archaeologists said the event posed a threat to the site's unbaked brick ruins dating to the 3rd
millennium BC. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of assassinated Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto, organized the event at Mohenjodaro, associated with one of the world's first urban
societies, the Indus Valley civilization. Benazir Bhutto was killed in a 2007 gun and bomb attack
widely blamed on Pakistani Taliban and Bilawal has made opposition to militancy a pillar of his
platform. Saturday night's event was inaugurated by the 25-year-old politician, who now heads
the Pakistan People's Party. His father served one term as the country's president but it has been
the younger Zardari who has become the public face of the party. It is especially strong in Sindh
province, the family's homeland and the location of Mohenjodaro. The festival has been seen as
part of efforts to raise the younger Zardari's profile on the national political stage.Zardari selected
Mohenjodaro "to promote local culture, peace and tolerance," government official Saqib Ahmed
Soomro said. About 500 guests were in attendance many flown in from the port city of Karachi.
Roughly 2,000 police officers provided security although militant attacks are relatively rare in that
23
part of Sindh province. The festival drew controversy when archaeologists said they fear the
stage and other event infrastructure could damage the delicate mud ruins. "It is nothing but
insanity" says archaeologist Asma Ibrahim, who is a member of the Management Board for
Antiquities and Physical Heritage of the Sindh government. She says the stage and sound and
light show could damage walls.But organizers say there is no risk to the ruins. "There is no risk to
Mohenjodaro because of the festival. Rather, it was never decorated the way we have done
now," Soomro said. He said he supervised arrangements for the festival to make sure no harm
was caused to the site.
Zardari visited the site Thursday and said every step was being taken to protect it, and people
would not be allowed to roam freely over the ruins. Zardari's attempts to promote culture have
won praise in some quarters. "People are living in a state of depression due to continued
violence, and there is a need to provide them more opportunities of entertainment," defense
analyst Talat Masood said. "The world knows us in connection to acts of terrorism which routinely
take place in Pakistan. Tonight, the world will see another face of the country," said 20-year-old
Anwar Baluch, one of the guests. But in the nearby city of Larkana, which is considered the seat
of the PPP's power, some residents questioned whether promoting culture was the best use of
resources. Much of Pakistan suffers from frequent power cuts. "We have hopes for young
Bilawal," said shopkeeper, Sunil Kumar. But he said there are many serious issues in the area.
"We only have eight hours of electricity a day, which destroys our business." Mohenjodaro,
meaning Mound of the Dead, is on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites. Excavations since
1922 have uncovered only one-third of the site, the organization's website says. A UNESCO
campaign ending in 1997 raised money to protect the site from flooding and to control the
ground-water table.
Iran's Cultural Week to
Open in Pakistan
TEHRAN (FNA): Iran's Cultural Week will be held at Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA)
with a number of colorful activities to mark the 35th anniversary of Islamic Revolution in Iran,
Iranian Cultural Counselor in Islamabad Taqqi Sadaqi said. The Iranian official said on Saturday
that the week will start work from February 4th and will continue till February 10 at the National
Art Gallery (NAG) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, the Islamic republic news agency reported. He
said that the cultural week is being organized by the Iranian embassy in association with the
Pakistani Ministry of National Heritage and Pakistan's National Council of Arts. The Iranian
official said the event would comprise a number of Iranian art and craft pieces, samples of holy
Quran, a wide range of books, photographic exhibition, and calligraphic workshop. He added that
a large collection of photographs is the major part of the festival based on the images of the
effects of post Revolution Iranian photographers and their confrontations process up to the
ultimate success of the revolution and eight years of the sacred defense (1980-1988 war
between Iran and Iraq), photos of reconstruction period and industrial, scientific and technological
developments. Sadaqi went on to say that along with the photo exhibition Iranian movies would
also be screened at Pakistan National Council of Arts. “This exhibition is indeed a step forward
not only in celebration of Iranian Revolution but to promote cultural ties between Pakistan and
Iran,” he said. He added that on the occasion a seminar would be held at National University of
Modern Languages along with Persian poetry night at Academy of Letters in Islamabad.
Losing our culture and
identity, one drama at a
time
Such was the appeal of these dramas that they were viewed and appreciated not only in
Pakistan but also by people abroad. To me, this is sufficient evidence that even whilst staying
within our social and cultural norms, we can produce content that is welcomed by a wide variety
of audiences. By following in the footsteps of international media, we are intentionally or
unintentionally destroying our own culture and consequently, losing our identity. This obsession
with competing with something that does not represent us – as far as our social values and
culture is concerned – needs to be addressed on an urgent basis because it has a direct
influence on the mindset of our younger generation.

How will we stop our youngsters from doing certain things or behaving in a certain way if that is
the behaviour propagated (and hence, justified) by the media?
The media industry must realise the impact such things can have on our society. All those
associated with this industry have a huge responsibility on their shoulders to mend their ways for
a better society. Since the Pandora’s Box is already open, it won’t be easy to fix the problem
quickly. But one of the steps that can be taken immediately by the media is to start having
Parental Guidance (PG) ratings for all the shows being aired by our TV channels so that the
viewers can at least know which category the program they intend to watch falls under.
Jim Morrison once said,
“Whoever controls the media controls the mind.”
While Allen Ginsberg went a step forward and said,
“Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.”
Hence, people need to understand that it is in their hands whether they allow the media to control
their minds, their perceptions and ultimately their culture or not. It is essential for audiences – the
grown up category of the masses who are mature enough to differentiate between right and
wrong – to let the entertainment industry know what is acceptable and what isn’t. After all, media
content is based on what viewers want to see. So if viewers voice their concerns vehemently
enough, if they boycott certain channels or certain programmes the ratings are bound to drop.
Our channels will then have no choice but to abstain from airing content that is so unwelcome by
the masses.

network of ICBC in Pakistan a welcome step expressed the hope that as a result of promotion of
exports and imports in Chinese currency, the monopoly of dollar on Pakistan’s economy will
decrease gradually. He said that Pakistani businessmen importing Chinese products through
banks of Dubai in dollar will be able to import Chinese products and export Pakistani products to
China through ICBC in Pak rupees. He said that concrete measures have been taken for longterm cooperation with China under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz
Sharif which has opened doors for investment and joint ventures in various development sectors
in Pakistan.
Pakistan's cultural festival
puts Mohenjo-daro ruins
at risk
MOHENJO-DARO: Hundreds of people arrived at the ancient ruined city of Mohenjo-daro on
Saturday to attend an inaugural festival aimed at commemorating Pakistan's cultural
heritage.Spearheaded by the Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of assassinated former prime minister
Benazir Bhutto, the two-week festival is part of a campaign to conserve the heritage of his home
province of Sindh. But experts warned the festival could put Mohenjo-daro, a UNESCO World
Heritage site built around 2600 BC, in danger. Large wooden and steel scaffolding has been
erected over and around the ruin, which UNESCO describes as "the most ancient and bestpreserved ruin on the Indian subcontinent", while heavy spotlights and lasers have been installed
for a light show. The site has been transformed into a high security facility, with hundreds of
police commandos surrounding the ruins and stood atop the stupa, a Buddhist shrine, as workers
hammered nails into a stage, an AFP reporter at the site said. "We have done all the work very
much to international conservation standards," Saqib Soomro, a top official at the culture
department, told AFP.Zardari, clad in a black jacket over an off-white traditional Pakistani shalwar
qameez dress, arrived Saturday in a caravan of four vehicles. A number of foreign visitors, some
wearing traditional Sindhi Ajrak outfits, were also among the approximately 1,000 guests waiting
for the grand gala to begin.Performers queued up to pass through security gates, with an equally
large number of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) top leaders also waiting for entry. The PPP, led by
Zardari, suffered a heavy defeat in the 2013 general election and observers say the cultural gala,
which has been advertised for weeks on national television, is partly aimed at raising the 25-yearold's political profile. The ruins, discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Sir John Marshall, are
425 kilometres (265 miles) north of the port city of Karachi and are one of the largest settlements
of the Indus Valley Civilisation. They are one of Pakistan's six UNESCO World Heritage sites that
are deemed places of special cultural significance. But many of the country's historical sites are
endangered by vandalism and urban encroachment, as well as a booming trade in illegally
excavated treasures.
Humaima chosen to host
Sindh Festival
The only internationally-successful Pakistani film star, Humaima Malick, who has always turned
down offers in the past to host events couldn’t say no to the opening of the mega Sindh Cultural
festival when approached by the organisers. The festival, which commences today at Moenjo
Daro, will be hosted by Malick who sounded very excited on having given this opportunity and
said, “I am very excited to be a part of this festival. I think it’s a great initiative by Bilawal and I
wish him all best for addressing such an important subject. As a society, this was a much needed
event to broaden our outlook and own our identities.”

Malick, who is currently shooting ‘Shaatir’ alongside Emraan Hashmi for Kunal Deshmukh and
bagged five international best actress awards for debut movie ‘Bol’, says, “I consider myself a
cultural ambassador of Pakistan when I set my foot abroad for work. Unfortunately, I feel there is
not much we have done to bring out our identities as a nation and specifically as a culture.
Branding Pakistan on the international front has been ignored for a long time and this event is a
tool to achieve that. I hope we get to see more such festivals in future. Bilawal earns my respect
for his vision.”
UNESCO to help
government protect,
promote Pakistan’s
cultural heritage
Daily times
February 01, 2014
ISLAMABAD: The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)
says it is committed to supporting the government for the protection and promotion of tangible
and intangible cultural heritages of Pakistan.Pakistan has diverse cultural heritage, which has a
great potential to contribute to promoting sustainable development in the country. These
remarks were expressed by Dr Gwang-jo Kim, director of UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional
Bureau for Education, on his visit to UNESCO world heritage site Rohtas Fort located at the
close vicinity of Islamabad on Friday. He was accompanied by Dr Kozue Kay Nagata,
director/representative of UNESCO in Islamabad, and other senior colleagues. Officials of the
Rohtas Fort received Dr Gwang-Jo Kim and briefed him on the historical perspectives and the
various initiatives of the government for the protection and restoration of the fort. Dr Gwang-Jo
Kim showed keen interest in the fort and appreciated the rich and diverse heritage of Pakistan.
25
He also applauded the role of the Punjab Department of Archaeology and assured that
UNESCO would continue to support protection of world heritage sites in Pakistan “which are of
outstanding universal value”. Rohtas Fort was inscribed on the world heritage list in 1997, and is
an outstanding example of the early Muslim military architecture in the sub continent as well as
Central and South Asia which blends architectural and artistic tradition from Turkey and the
subcontinent. It has also a profound influence on the development of architectural style in the
Mughal Empire. Situated at a distance of 16km north-west of Jhelum city, the fort was built by
Sher Shah Suri in 16th century (1541) and was being used by the empire until the death of
Aurangzeb in 1707AD. Later on, the fort remained under the occupation of Durrani’s and Sikhs
rulers during 18th and 19th centuries. UNESCO Pakistan under its cultural section is working to
promote and protect the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Pakistan, with the aim of
contributing towards economic growth and poverty reduction besides helping the federal
government as state party responsible for fulfilling international commitments towards the
implementation of the World Heritage Convention and the 2003 Convention for the
Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Moreover, several initiatives have also been
undertaken to support the nurture creative industries, indigenous knowledge and arts, local
expressions, regional languages and cultural tourism for preserving the past, promoting the
present and improving the future initiatives in culture.

The U.S. Embassy and the Pakistan-U.S. Alumni Network (PUAN) welcomed more than 150
alumni of the Community College Initiative (CCI) exchange program to its inaugural reunion in
Islamabad. Principal Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP)
Ambassador Beth Jones from the U.S. Department of State, and Rita Akhtar, Executive Director
of the U.S. Educational Foundation in Pakistan, greeted the students, who represented all
regions of Pakistan.
During the three-day reunion, participants will share their experiences in the United States,
participate in workshops and speaker sessions on entrepreneurship, strategic leadership, and
civil society development, enjoy cultural and music performances, and brainstorm ideas for
community service projects that benefit Pakistan’s social and economic development. The
reunion will culminate in a team-building exercise, where the participants will learn new
techniques and skills to improve their own organizations. “When I look into this audience, I see
talented representatives of this nation’s bright future,” Principal Deputy SRAP Ambassador Beth
Jones said at the reunion. “You have an extraordinary collective capacity to make a lasting and
positive impact in your communities and your nation.” Participants in the CCI exchange program,
which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, spend one academic year studying at a
community college in the United States in one of the following fields: agriculture, applied
engineering, business management, early childhood education, information technology, media,
and tourism and hospitality management. CCI participants are recruited from Pakistan’s rural and
historically underserved populations and most are mid-career professionals. The U.S.
government invests nearly $40 million annually on exchange programs for Pakistani citizens.
More than 1,200 Pakistanis participate in the various high school, undergraduate, graduate, and
professional U.S.-sponsored exchange programs each year. The Pakistan-U.S. Alumni Network
(PUAN) is one of the largest U.S. alumni networks in the world. It consists of more than 13,000
students and professionals who have participated in U.S. government-sponsored exchange
programs and organizes a number of events in Pakistan, including community service projects,
leadership trainings, roundtable discussions, and community engagement activities. Learn more

THATTA: Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari on Saturday announced the establishment of ‘Sindhu
Heritage Trust’ to raise funds to protect the Moenjodaro and other historic sites of the province.
“Climate change and environmental factors pose the biggest threats to this ancient site,” said
Bakhtawer, the younger sibling of PPP chairperson while speaking at the closing ceremony of the
Sindh Festival.
She said that combined with the ongoing neglect and lack of resources and technical capacity,
the ancient site of Moenjodaro remains in the danger of being lost forever. “The first initiative for
the Trust will be to take emergency preventive action so desperately needed at Moenjodaro,” she
said. The young Bhutto said that funds will be spent to train workers, supervisors and technical
staff needed to prevent the decaying effects of nature’s hostile elements and to ensure a
sustainable improvement of the conditions on the site. “It will also allow for further archaeological
work to take place. This means jobs created here in Pakistan.” She said that her brother Bilawal
Bhutto Zardari conceived the idea of Sindh festival when he saw the plight of these ancient ruins
during a visit. The funds will be used to encourage archaeology courses at universities in Sindh,
she said. These courses will enable the next generation of Pakistani archaeologists to protect
their heritage sites rather than banking on others, she added. “We will also seek to create
partnerships and exchanges with international universities.” She said the country’s rich history
spanning millennia and its culture remain under attack by forces that aim to make it either more
Arab or more Western. “We are neither. We are Pakistan. And we are proud (of it).” “Through
Sindh Festival we have begun our fight back, our battle to reclaim the cultural space which is
being lost to those who seek to destroy us.”

TOURISM PROFILE – DISTRICT GILGIT
Introduction:
Gilgit (Land of Diversity) strategically located at the most important region in the Karakorum and makes the trade center of the region for
centuries. It is the capital town and administrative center of province of Gilgit-Baltistan. The area is fed by waters of Hunza, Ghizer and
Indus rivers along with the several of their tributaries. Gilgit has also been an important city on the historical Silk Route, facilitating
religions to spread across trans boundaries. Shina is the language spoken in Gilgit while English and Urdu is widely spoken in the
region. Of particular note, Naltar is a picturesque Greenland surrounded by high peaks with accessible glacial lakes, perfect resorts for
winter skiing. Furthermore, Kargah valley is only at 10km distance for Gilgit with Kargah Buddha a rock wall carved Buddha dating back
to 8th century AD and ruins of a Buddhist monastery and Stupa. Other valleys include Danyore, Bagrot, Nomal and Oshikhandas.1
Short History:
Gilgit ancient name was Sargin, later to be known as Gilit, and it is still referred to as Gilit or Sargin-Gilit by local people. In the
Burushaski language, it is named Geelt and in Wakhi and Khowar it is called Gilt. Ghallata is considered its name in ancient Sanskrit
literature.It was an important city on the Silk Road, along which Buddhism was spread from South Asia to the rest of Asia.2
In fourteenth century gilgit was ruled by Shahreis who were the free Islamic rulers. The last ruler Shiri Buddutt was killed by a Muslim
adventurer, and married with his daughter and founded a new Dynasty called Trakhàn Dynasty and rule for centuries. This ruling end
with death of Raja Abas, the last tarkhan Raja.3 After the death of Raja Abas, Sulaiman Shah, raja of Yasin, conquered Gilgit. Then,
Azad Khan, raja of Punial, killed Sulaiman Shah, taking Gilgit; then Tair Shah, raja of Buroshall (Nagar), took Gilgit and killed Azad
Khan. Tair Shah's son Shah Sakandar inherited, only to be killed by Gaur Rahman, raja of Yasin of the Khushwakhte Dynasty, when he
took Gilgit. Then in 1842, Shah Sakandar's brother, Karim Khan, expelled Gaur Rahman with the support of a Sikh army from Kashmir.
The Sikh general, Nathu Shah, left garrison troops and Karim Khan ruled until Gilgit was ceded to Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir
in 1846 by the Treaty of Amritsar. Gilgit came under British rule in 1889 as gilgit agency.4 After 1947 “Gilgit Agency” become the part of
Pakistan and merge into northern areas of Pakistan in 1970. In December 27, 2009 it’s become the fifth province of Pakistan with the
name of Gilgit Baltistan.5 The province of Gilgit-Baltistan is divided into 7 districts. The names of the districts are as follows: Ghanche,

Culture:
The Karakorum and Hindukush have always been rather porous barriers, offering shorter, seasonal routes between South and Central
Asia. Traders, conquerors, religion and ideas have been passing through this route over 4000 years. This region became the eastern most
extent of the Greek Empire in 327 BC. This was followed by the Great Asoka Empire along with the Buddhist leanings in 272-235 BC.
6
Consequently, we see the development of the great Gandharan civilizations as a result of fusion between Greek and Buddhist ideas.
Being a strategic location and heads Quarter Gilgit is home to a number of diversified cultures, ethnic groups, languages and various
backgrounds. People also have a beautiful mix of lifestyles and attitudes.

When does she come home?
February 24, 2014-------- Yasmeen Aftab Ali
A tree without its root will die. A nation without the knowledge
and binding to its roots will change into something not
represented by its roots. “Remember the days of old, consider
the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will
shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.” (King James
Bible “Authorized Version”, Cambridge Edition) Heritage is the
legacy that was passed on to us. It is the legacy we must pass
on to our children. The world as we know today has disvalued
heritage. It is been destroyed by neglect or destroyed by wars.
The National Trust of Australia (WA) defines heritage as, ‘…
something inherited from the past and valued enough today to
leave for future generations.” Yes, heritage may be natural
like our rivers, forests, so on and so forth. It may also have a
cultural face like structures, places of worship, places of
architectural magnificence and artifacts. If these artifacts are
removed and taken away by other nations; as a result of war
as often happens, or taken on ‘loan’ and not returned — they
rightfully belong to the owner irrespective of the time lapsed.
The stance of archaeologists under the UNESCO Convention
of 1972 is that the original owner of a relic or artifacts will be
deemed to be the country where the relic was discovered.
There seem to be no examples by Pakistan to make an effort
to unearth where its relics are today if taken away – to retrieve
them and bring them back. It was only the former Prime
Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who, under the Simla Agreement in
1972, succeeded in recovering the King Priest statue back
from India. According to the research paper by Elisabeth C. L
quoting S. J Marshall ‘Moenjo-daro and the Indus Civilization
(London 1931, vol 1 page 356-357) states, ‘the statue was
found in Room 1, Block 2 Section B of the Dk Area in the
Moenjo-daro.’ Besides the physical description, it adds that
the statue had one eye inlaid with shell, when found. The
“Priest King” is now on display at the National Museum,
Karachi. The other statue is of the “Dancing Girl.” Excavated
from Moenjo-daro, now on display at Victoria and Albert
Museum’s Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata, India; the statue
is said to be originally found from the ruins of a house in 1925,
from the ninth row of houses of Moenjo-daro. It is 10.8 cm tall,
a fine piece of art. The nude figurine, resplendent with
bangles up till the elbows, smartly coiled hair, the hand placed
on one leg pushed forward, the other on a hip; a saucily
provocative bold stance.
Both the “Priest King” statue and the bronze one of the
“Dancing Girl” of Moenjo-daro were transported by British
archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler to Delhi in 1946 for an
exhibition. After its creation, Pakistan sought the return of both
relics. (Published Times of India Feb 3, 2014)
The “Dancing Girl” figurine never came home after that. It is
only at the Sindh Festival held recently that brought the
attention towards the return of this artifact. According to a
local newspaper, “….the provincial government is sending a
request to Islamabad for asking India to return the famous
statue of the Dancing Girl, which is in possession of the Indian
authorities since 1946.” (2014-02-02)
It was this very principle of owning heritage on behalf of the
Brahmans that propelled Edward Law, 1st Earl of
Ellenborough to prompt high caste Brahman and Rajputs of
the Bengal Army to undertake the first Afghan War which was
in fact a forward policy of the then British Indian Empire. As
per code of the Hindus it was a taboo to cross the river Indus.
Sultan Mahmood of Ghazni had taken away the Gates of
Somnath Temple to Ghazni – his capital. It was suggested to
the Bengal Army to go and uproot the Temple gates from
Ghazni and bring them back and restore them at the Somnath
Temple. Subsequently they were brought back under the
supervision of the invading Bengal Army. Romila Thappar
writes in her book, “The History of India, (Vol. 1 pg 232-233)
“The effects of destruction of Somnath are etched in the
generations of all Hindu Brahman mindset. They shudder for
the day revival of Islam takes place.”
Yet another example is the Indian demands to the UK
government to return its Kohinoor Diamond that it was forced
to hand over in to them in the colonial era. As recent as
February 7, 2014, the Deccan Herald reported rejection by UK
of the Indian demand citing a law “that prevents it from giving
back the items”. However, in a very interesting move later, in a
repatriation ceremony at the New York Consulate of India,
some artifacts were returned to India, reports Al-Jazeera, (16
Jan 2014). These artifacts include two sandstone sculptures.
They are of the Hindu deities Vishnu and Lakshmi. The third
one is reputed to be “a black stone sculpture of Buddhist icon
Bodhisattava”. The statues hail from 11th and 12th centuries.
The newspaper goes on to state, “Reports say the idols were
stolen from temples across the states of Rajasthan, Bihar and
West Bengal.”
The principle applied here then is that the original owner of a
relic or artifacts will be deemed to be the country where the
relic was discovered. Takers cannot be keepers. Pakistan
needs a national organisation dealing with heritage
preservation. To the best of my knowledge Pakistan does not
boast of one. This is sad considering that out of a total of 704
cultural heritage sites listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage
List, Pakistan has six of them on this prestigious page. But
this is not all. There are gardens, old architectural houses,
(those in interior Lahore are a case in point) mosques of
grandeur, beautiful Hindu and Jain temples, Sikh gurdwaras;
yet these beautiful sites are dilapidated and falling apart owing
to negligence. Although certain laws do provide for
preservation of some sites, not all buildings and places are
professionally catalogued.
Coming back to the Dancing Girl Statue of Moenjo-daro;
When does she come home?

Culture in the Time of Terrorism
February 16, 2014….Sarwar Ali
Pakistan is going through a bizarre phase. On the one hand,
the traditional sites, places or venues, which house and
promote culture are under attack and, on the other, huge
festivals are being held in the major cities of Islamabad,
Karachi, and Lahore and even in a place like Mohenjodaro.
A cinema has been bombed in Peshawar and this is not the
first time that a cinema has been destroyed with people sitting
there, dying while viewing a film. A couple of weeks back, a
cinema had bombs detonated and it, too, resulted in fatalities.
The mausoleum of the sufi and poet Mast Tawakali in Kohlu,
Balochistan was torched last week and another site Astana of
Peer Meharban Shah was also hit by bombs in Karachi,
resulting in casualties.
All this has had an effect on the cultural activities where
people throng in large numbers. The recently concluded Urs
of Khawaja Farid in Kot Mithan was the tamest that one could
remember. The cultural activities were not allowed to be held
for security reasons and that resulted in a sharp drop in
numbers visiting the festival.
One could not have imagined the Urs of Khawaja Farid
without the singing of his kalaam. He must be the most-sung
poet in the language and his kafis have been rendered in all
forms, in pure folk, semi-classical and even by those assigned
the status of an ustad.
It was unimaginable a few years ago that certain of the most
venerated shrines have been bombed. These shrines were
not touched in hundreds of years when the land was ruled by
non Muslims — Hindus, Sikhs and the British.
It is said that even Ustads Fateh Ali and Ali Buksh, the duo
that set up the Patiala Gharana, sang in the presence of
Khawaja Farid himself. Though, the Urs of Waris Shah has
been held in the last few years, the customary singing of Heer
has not been held.
It was unimaginable a few years ago that certain of the most
venerated shrines have been bombed — like Data Sahib in
Lahore, Baba Fareed in Pakpattan, Rehman Baba in
Peshawar and Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi. These
shrines were not touched in hundreds of years when the land
was ruled by non Muslims — Hindus, Sikhs and British.
Not many years ago, the Rafi Peer International Festival was
targeted in Lahore after which the festival was toned down
considerably, many cinema and theatre houses, too, have
been targeted across the country. It seems that there is a
systematic campaign to destroy the “addas” where dance and
music takes place. And so many of the performing artistes
have been killed, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the last
few years.
As against this, in the last few years, one has seen an
explosion of festivals that have been held across the country,
particularly in the three major cities: Lahore Karachi, and
Islamabad. The various hugely popular literary festivals
organised both by the government and the private sector have
also included dance, theatre and music performances.
The recently-concluded Sindh Festival held in Mohenjodaro
and other cities of the province was a bit of an extravaganza,
participated in full by the people. It included a number of
shows, some of performing arts and tableaux. And the
ongoing Youth Festival in Punjab, which has spread all over
the province, has been held in the district headquarters,
breaking away as it were from the monopoly of the three cities
that usually hog in all the cultural investment.
It may be said in the same breath that all these festivals have
been held in places or venues which have been secured for
the purposes of safety. The venues are either controlled
spaces or, as in Sindh and Punjab Youth Festivals, being
government sponsored, where the law enforcing agencies
have been deputed in larger numbers.
Due to security concerns, one safer way out has been to
avoid public congregation and air cultural activity on
television. Even now, many of the music and popular shows
are no longer held in public because it is thought much safer
and securer to make a video and release it on channel or
stream it on the networks.
The choice now is being narrowed down to either listening to
music, seeing theatre/viewing exhibitions of visual arts in full
acceptance and glare of the public or none at all. Whether all
this is fast becoming a proscribed activity for which injunctions
will be included in the legal code, penalising offending citizen
of the country if found indulging in film, theatre, music or that
the public venues or platforms will cease to exist.
It may not be very surprising because there are many
countries where such innocent acts are outlawed in public and
citizens either secretly huddle in private space or have to
travel abroad to see a film, listen to music and view an
exhibition.
The elements of culture have always been used or exploited
by advertising, whether to sell an idea or an ideology. Since
the corporations now have a multinational presence, both in
terms of ownership of the enterprise and the outreach of its
market, the cultural elements become the tool of their
advertising campaigns. Since the products that they advertise
cannot be customised but are mass produced, the market,
too, has to be big to offer itself to the uniformity of production.
Huge corporations target an area or a region but by bringing
in the local flavour they create a certain level of intimacy.
For ideological, economic, and political reasons, artistic
expression is snuffed, mutilated, trimmed, tailored but the
human race-cherished dream of freedom has always been
rescued by the development of a parallel or counter narrative.
There might be a case for the existence of an organic culture
that rests and grows surreptitiously while wars with grand
gestures are fought on the surface.
