...Khan was later assassinated, but his son Amanullah came next in line. Amanullah married a well educated woman named Soraya, she help women have a better education. Amanullah and his sister Kobra formed a women’s organization that fought against injustice. There came a point in time when women could choose their husbands. After the things Amanullah, Soraya, and Kobra did to change the way women were treated, Tribal member’s had finally had enough. They told Amanullah that he needed to close all schools for women, and made women wear veils. Women's rights went back and forth, Amanullah and Soraya were forced out of their spots. After this happened rights for women slowly started to improve. By the 1940’s having women as doctors and nurse became more and more frequent . By 1964 women could vote and enter in politics. This was common for major cities in Afghanistan, smaller cities stuck to their traditions. The soviet- backed communist came back into power in 1978 they enforced the reforms including the rural...

...Walled City The prospect of a trip to the old Lahore had all of our group members excited. Finally, we were going to get the opportunity of seeing the architecture that has been there since the time of the Mughals. All of us had expected that the market will be small, and all the things would be moving in slow motion, in short all us thought that we will be taking a journey to the past. However, we were all in for a surprise. Upon reaching the place, we could not rap our heads around the speed at which things were happening. The notion of it being a small market went out of our heads, after walking miles after miles but not being able to see the end of the line shops that surrounded us. The hustle and bustle of the market took us by a surprise. But upon getting to terms with everything we were able to take the interviews, along with some selfies and were able to complete the assignment that we had been sent to do. We first visited a toy shop, which was on the outskirts of the Azam market. The toy shop belonged to Mr. Aurangzeb, who claimed to be in the market for over 5 years. He told us that he had started with a small shop and through his hard work and immaculate selling skills was able to expand his business to a larger scale. Upon being asked about the supplier, he told us that most of his products were made locally in warehouses which were also located within the same market. He said that he did not own the warehouse, but had very good terms with the manufacturer of the...

...Women of Afghanistan ANT 101 May 3, 2010 Women of Afghanistan Afghanistan is a very rugged country with various ethnic, religious, and tribal groups (http://www.iiav.nl). It is also a country that is rich in culture and tradition. But very little is known about the women that live in Afghanistan. No one really knows or understands how a women’s day to day life is. In Afghanistan most women are kept hidden away in their home and they are not allowed outside. Today the only thing that people hear or know about Afghanistan is that the United States is at war with a country that has known very little peace over that last one hundred years. Afghanistan is a place where time stands still and very little changes. One of the things that has not changed or has changed very little over the last one thousand years is the everyday life of women. The Afghan people are very simple and in some remote villages they have very little comforts. In some places midwifes assist mothers in the birth of their new born babes. They also bring water inside their house in pales, and they maintain their houses clean for their husbands. Most Afghans live their lives in a very traditional and private way; they have several customs and traditions that have been passed on from one generation to the other for hundreds of years. These people do not require or ask anything from the western world or from their government. They rarely let outsiders into their culture and this has led to many...

Osama is a girl whose father died in war and was forced to change her identity in order to provide for her family. The movie Osama shows the obstacle a nine years old girl goes through and when she’s caught, the punishment is to either kill her or wed her to one of the oldest guy who already has three wives. In regards to education, Afghanistan legal stance has shifted over the last one hundred years. Subsequent to Afghanistan’s independence from Great Britain, King Amanullah in 1919 adopted reforms to enhance women’s rights overall including women’s right to education. This endeavor was short-lived as opposition to the women’s movement grew and King Amanullah was over-thrown in place of a government that brought about conservative reforms under new leader Nadir Shah. Despite the set back, women’s right to education maintained and moved slightly forward from...

...or should not be. While the Taliban had control over the country, they had a very extreme belief of women’s rights. The role of women in Afghanistan has changed significantly before, during, and after the Taliban wrested control. Before Afghanistan was an independent nation, Abdur Rahman Khan was in control. He decided to make many changes for women and how they were perceived during his ruling. He proposed many reforms including; women can choose if they would like to stay with their spouse, if they got married while being prepubescent. Afghanistan then became independent in 1919. Afghanistan was under the rule of King Amanullah. He wanted to give women more freedom. He authorized that if women wanted to go to the park, they would not have to cover up their faces. He also instituted the first school for girls in the nation. After the regime of King, Amanullah fell in 1931, and few more rulers came after. One ruler did not believe in equality of men and women. However, most of which strongly believed in women’s equal rights. Women were able to take a more prominent role in society. They could be hired for important jobs, such as teaching in schools or working in hospitals. Some women were even able to work for the government. Women were also able to drive, travel, and generally do things freely. The early 1940s and 1970s were a highly progressive time for women in Afghanistan (MacNeill 2009). Conditions for women kept improving. Women married to high-ranking officials could...

...Sardar, a word of Indo-Iranian origin also spelled as Sirdar, Sardaar or Serdar, is a title of nobility (sir-, sar/sair- means "head or authority" and -dār means "holder" in Sanskrit[4] and Avestan[5] respectively) that was originally used to denote princes, noblemen, and other aristocrats. It has also been used to denote a chief or leader of a tribe or group. It is used synonymously with the title Amir. The term and its cognates originate from and have been historically used across Persia (now Iran), South Asia (Pakistan, India, andNepal), Mesopotamia (now Iraq, Kurdistan, Turkey, Syria), the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Balkans and Egypt.[6] It is frequently used as a personal name by both men and women throughout the Balkans, the Caucasus, Turkey, Central Asia, Iran, and Pakistan.[citation needed] The term was widely used by Maratha nobility, who held important positions in various Maratha States of the imperial Maratha Empire. After the decline of feudalism, Sardar later indicated a Head of State, a Commander-in-chief, and an Army military rank. As a military rank, a Sardar typically marked the Commander-in-Chief or the highest-ranking military officer in an Army, akin to the modern Field Marshal,General of the Army or Chief of Army. The more administrative title Sirdar-Bahadur denoted a Governor-General or Chief Minister of a remote province, akin to a British Viceroy. In Himalayan mountaineering, a Sirdar is a local leader of the Sherpas.[7] Among other duties, he records...

...known as osteonecrosis is a disease caused by the blood supply being decreased to the subchondral bone leading to the destruction of the hip joint. The femoral head is one of the most common areas to be affected by this disease. AVN is when bone cells die because they are not getting the blood supply that they need. When AVN first occurs, patients are asymptomatic but over time AVN begins destroying the joint. There are some conservative treatments for this syndrome but usually surgery is the last option of treatment and in later stages a total hip replacement. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has demonstrated to be a highly accurate method for diagnosing early AVN and staging how far along the disease is (Ansari, Dhungel, Ahmad, Gupta, Amanullah & Rauniyar; Sen; Tripathy, Goyal, & Sen). Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a condition caused by decreased vascular supply to the subchondral bone of the femoral head. This disease is one that has many etiological factors. Avascular necrosis affects the young population but is also a problem for the older population as well and if not taken care of in a timely manner can lead to the femoral head collapsing. In the beginning, symptoms of avascular necrosis may be painless. However, when the disease begins to present itself, the patient has painful, limitation of hip motion. Passive movements of the hip may also be restricted along with a high chance of bilateral presentation. One of the most common clinical scales to assess the...

...Impact of emotional intelligence on individual performance Marriam Naseer Mphil-11 Quaid-I-Azam University Islamabad. 1: Introduction: Emotional intelligence: There have been numerous definitions of what constitutes emotional intelligence. All reference the thoughts and feelings behind people’s actions, which guide their response patterns in different situations. It therefore follows that people who are emotionally competent are able to recognize these different emotional patterns in themselves and others, and to direct them in appropriate ways. (Clíona Diggins, Pearn Kandola, 2004). EQ is a subset of social intelligence, a set of mental abilities separate from personality. Goleman’s (1995, p. 34) “notion of EQ includes knowing what you are feeling and using that knowledge to make good decisions”. Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic. Since 1990, Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on emotional intelligence. In their influential article "Emotional Intelligence," they defined emotional intelligence as, "the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions" EI is composed of five dimensions: Self...

...Opinion of consumers towards credit card usage A Study in Chandigarh 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 History As far back as the late 1800s, consumers and merchants exchanged goods through the concept of credit, using credit coins and charge plates as currency. It wasn't until about half a century ago that plastic payments as we know them today became a way of life. 1.1a Early beginnings In the early 1900s (Ben Woolsey, 2011), oil companies and department stories issued their own proprietary cards, according to Stan Sienkiewicz, in a paper for the Philadelphia Federal Reserve entitled "Credit Cards and Payment Efficiency." Such cards were accepted only at the business that issued the card and in limited locations. While modern credit cards are mainly used for convenience, these predecessor cards were developed as a means of creating customer loyalty and improving customer service, Sienkiewicz says. According to Ben Woolsey, the first bank card, named "Charg-It," was introduced in 1946 by John Biggins, a banker in Brooklyn, according to MasterCard. When a customer used it for a purchase, the bill was forwarded to Biggins' bank. The bank reimbursed the merchant and obtained payment from the customer. Purchases could only be made locally, and Charg-It cardholders had to have an account at Biggins' bank. In 1951, the first bank credit card appeared in New York's Franklin National Bank for loan customers. It also could be used only by the bank's account holders (Ben Woolsey...

...The Involvement of Fritz Grobba in Iraq during the Interwar Years Sören Meier-Klodt 201103442 22.12.2014 Word Count: 4876 The Involvement of Fritz Grobba in Iraq during the Interwar Years The personage of Fritz Grobba in the mechanisms of Iraq nationalist aspirations and fascist movements is controversial to say the least. The British, tainted with years of influence and covert action themselves, to this day, claim that the doings of Mr. Grobba had a fundamental part in uprooting the peace in Iraq during the war years and that he played an important role in destabilizing the Iraq government and leading anti British sentiment during the inter-war years during his stationing in Baghdad. Grobba himself who in his work, Männer und Mächte im Orient, claims that he did not commit any such actions contested this. He goes onto to argue that it was in-fact the British that were the main conspirators of any covert political actions that led to both the destabilization of Iraq which indirectly also led to the rise of National sentiments that had at their heart an anti British Agenda. To this day this question remains of Importance, as the question of German involvement and the seeding of propaganda for the Hitler Reich and for Nationalism would have had an implicit role in creating the Farhud massacre of 1941 of the Jewish population in Iraq. If there exists such a correlation the descendants of the Jewish victims would have the right to compensation and would officially...

...Analysis of Indian Developmental Projects in Afghanistan and its impact on Pakistan THEME * Pakistan and Afghanistan are generally labeled as inseparable states due to their historical, religious, cultural, linguistic, trade and ethnic linkages. However, history of bilateral relations between Kabul and Islamabad reveals turbulence. The main reasons for this rocky relationship are the issues related to the Durand Line, the idea of a greater Pakhtunistan, the 1980’s Soviet War, the rise of the Taliban, post 9/11 war, and India’s rising influence in Afghanistan. Through multi-sectoral long-term development projects, apparently carving socio-economic space through application of soft power, India ultimately aims at enhancing its regional relevance to extract politico-economic benefits, while correspondingly constricting contemporary space for Pakistan. Indian sponsored / assisted projects in Afghanistan indicate their character to be more of anti-Pakistan than pro-Afghanistan. Development of road Zaranj-Delaram off sets Afghanistan’s over dependence on Pakistan for transit trade, through offering ground link to Iranian Port Chahbhar. Similarly, Indian offer to build water reservoirs on river Kabul can be termed as extension of her water war against Pakistan. It has implications for Pakistan on its economic, defense and foreign policy fronts. Apropos, carry out a detailed analysis of Indian sponsored / assisted projects directly or indirectly influencing Pakistan and recommend...
