...Koel has met the charismatic Khan, who was labeled as a ladies man and playboy in his young days, a few days back and then found herself utterly impressed by his personality and intelligence. About the heart-hitting man, she says, “Imran Khan believes that real change is brought about by the idealist and not realist. He has been given various tags; from being a ladies man to a good samaritan, to being a killer on the cricket pitch. But he wears all these labels with ease and élan.” 00441698395067 dg11812 "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.

...in 1947, the territory of modern Pakistan was a part of the British Indian Empire. Prior to that it was ruled in different periods by local kings and numerous imperial powers. The ancient history of the region comprising present-day Pakistan also includes some of the oldest empires of Indian Subcontinent[1] and some of its major civilizations.[2][3][4][5] By the 18th century the land was incorporated into British India. Pakistan's political history began with the birth of the All India Muslim League in 1906 to protect "Muslim interests, amid neglect and under-representation" and to oppose Congress and growing Indian nationalism in return the British Raj would decide to grant local self-rule. On 29 December 1930, philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal called for an autonomous new state in "northwestern India for Indian Muslims".[6] The League rose to popularity in the late 1930s. Muhammad Ali Jinnah espoused the Two Nation Theory and led the League to adopt the Lahore Resolution[7] of 1940, demanding the formation of independent states in the East and the West of British India. Eventually, a successful movement led by Jinnah resulted in the partition of India and independence from Britain, on 14 August 1947. On 12 March 1949, the second constituent assembly of Pakistan passed the Objectives Resolution which was proposed by the first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan, proclaimed that the future constitution of Pakistan would not be modeled entirely on a European pattern, but on the ideology...

...Pakistan, Problems and Prospects Abstract Pakistan is still in a situation that it does not have a well-established democracy. Since its existence in 1947, right after the freedom from British rule; the founder of the Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah died. Because Jinnah’s death was too early that he did not have time for country to put on right path and there was no constitution when he died. Also Pakistan often existed under martial law. When Pakistan had an elected government, it failed to stay in office and country went under its first martial law. But despite these problems, Pakistan has potential to improve and become a Developed County because of its resources and Exports.

...Economics Analysis of Saudi Arabia History of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) (Bowen, 2008; Fasano and Iqbal, 2003). The country traces its origin back to the early empires of the Arabian Peninsula, which is an ancient trade centre.

...Future of Modernization By Ravon B. Ford SOC 120 September 2, 2012 Mr. Walter James Modernization has come to be apparent in many ways. Some may see this as good, some amt see it as bad. Modernization will persist as time goes on; into the foreseeable future. Modernization has affected everyone around the world and all social classes. But, with modernization comes an outcome that may be inescapable. Modernization displays itself in the United States in several ways. People regularly change things about themselves, such as their values and beliefs system. Modernization has diluted smaller populations, and gave way to technology and urbanization. The social order has become more productive and larger earnings have become the norm. Higher education has gone up, because of a social access and acceptance. And, there are low birth and death rates because people are taking better care of their health, and medical advances. Modernization has benefitted the United States in numerous ways. Before the innovation of motorized modes of travel in 1900's, transportation was accomplished by horse and buggy, train and walking. Today, cars are the chief mode of transportation; along with air and water crafts. In the past, families lived without running water and electricity in their residence, and had to wash clothing with water carried in buckets from a nearby public well. Modernization has lead to the use of running water/ indoor plumbing and electricity. Modernizations have also led...

From the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it has continuously become a dynamic force in fulfilling the contemporary needs of the Ummah. After the period of imitation (taqlid), Islamic jurisprudence enters the renewal process (tajdid) in order to rejuvenate Muslim society to the practice of Ijtihad. The emergence of new approach was caused by the changes and developments in human life that spark to the existence of new issues, which their answers cannot be traced in the works of classical fiqh. Accordingly, some would prefer to utilize the postmodernism approach in the process of interpretation of the divine texts in order to get the ruling (hukm). Some of the thinkers and scholars seem to neglect the normative guide in classical Usul al-Fiqh (the principle of...

While today the region’s place in the global world order is widely recognised, this is in fact only the most recent chapter in a longer history.

...Number 115– October 2010 Globalization, Economic Freedom and Human Rights Axel Dreher Martin Gassebner Lars-H. R. Siemers ISSN: 1439-2305 Globalization, Economic Freedom and Human Rights Axel Dreher a Martin Gassebner b Lars-H. R. Siemers c October 2010 Abstract Using the KOF Index of Globalization and two indices of economic freedom, we empirically analyze whether globalization and economic liberalization affect governments’ respect for human rights using a panel of 106 countries over the 1981-2004 period. According to our results, physical integrity rights significantly and robustly increase with globalization and economic freedom, while empowerment rights are not robustly affected. Due to the lack of consensus about the appropriate level of empowerment rights as compared to the outright rejection of any violation of physical integrity rights, the global community is presumably less effective in promoting empowerment rights.
