University Of the Punjab Lahore

UniversityOf The Punjab Lahore) (abbreviated some time as PU),

colloquially known as Punjab University, is located in Lahore,

Punjab, Pakistan. The University of the Punjab was formally

established with the convening of the first meeting of its

Senate om October 14th 1882 at Shimla. It was the fourth

university to be established by the British colonial authorities 

on the Indian subcontinent (the first three universities were

established by the British rulers at their initial strongholds of

Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras). According to the Higher

Education Commission of Pakistan, Punjab University is one of

the top ranked general universities in Pakistan.

Immigration For Pakistani's

BOSTON- Shazia Khuwaja had difficulty dating boys in high school. It is hard to believe looking at the 20-year-old Boston University student as she reclines on her bed in her apartment. Her dark hair and complexion highlights her bright smile and almond-shaped eyes. It wasn’t braces or acne that caused her difficulty with the opposite sex. It was her parents.

Shazia’s parents are Pakistani, both raised in the province of Sindh. It took a while for Ali Khuwaja and his wife Rubina Khuwaja to adjust to the idea of their daughter dating. Traditional Pakistani culture frowns upon premarital relations with the opposite sex.

She told her mother and father, “You have to let me live how other kids live.” Eventually, they came around to the idea.

The hardships Shazia’s parents endured drove them to attain a better standard of life for their own family. Yet their extended family remains in Pakistan. Immigration laws make it difficult for them to gain U.S. citizenship or even visas.

Shazia’s father came from humble beginnings. He and his ten sibilings at times would be without clothing or shoes. Luckily he was a talented medical student and received his fellowship in America. In 1975 he became a U.S. citizen. Once he established his practice he and Shazia’s mother were married and in 1986 she became a U.S. citizen. 

Shazia’s mother wore the traditional “salwar kameez” over to America. An outfit comprised of loose trousers and a long tunic. She stared at a woman’s stilettos for the entire flight. Her shoes were unlike anything she had seen before. Shazia’s mother bought her first pair of heels as soon as she arrived in the U.S..

It was not an easy transition into a foreign culture for the newlyweds. Shazia remembers her mother having trouble with the greeting, nice to meet you, her mother would reply, me too.

Instead of fighting to fit into American culture like her parents did, Shazia clings to the remainder of her Pakistani heritage. No matter how long it has been since she last attended Mosque, Shazia always carries her tasbih.

Shazia reaches under the bed to grab a large purple handbag, she plunges her hand inside to pull out her tasbih. She hands me a string of beads. They are bright turquoise with small pink flowers on them. If she ever forgets Allah and the prophets, her tasbih helps her to remember them in her prayers.

Shazia has traveled to Pakistan eight times to visit her extended family. She was 13 the last time she went.

According to Shazia, “Everything [in Pakistan] was intense. There was intense poverty, intense Religion and corruption.”

She remembers long power outages that frightened her as a child. According to her father, who visited this year, his family in Pakistan now has a generator. Shazia admits the generator is progress, but it is still just, “baby steps.”

It is difficult for Shazia and her parents to see their family lacking basic needs like reliable heat and light in their homes. U.S. immigration policy makes it hard for family members to receive visas, let alone citizenship. The only time Shazia’s uncle and her cousin visited the U.S. was for cancer treatment. It took Shazia’s mother four years to get her mother a visa.

Shazia says, “I didn’t grow up with grandparents.”

She hopes someday soon she and her family will be able to visit each other more freely. Ideally she would like to see each of her family members visit her, here in America. 

“The system is too strict. It’s not fair and it has to be readjusted. I just don’t know how,” says Shazia. She will return to Pakistan in December for the first time in seven years.

Youth Issues

Young people constitute the largest [67% resides between the age 15-35] segment of Pakistani population. Those from low and middle income groups, have few opportunities to develop to their full potential. Poverty is widespread, education levels are low, youth unemployment is high and traditional culture does not encourage young people to take decisions on issues concerning them. There is limited scope for young people’s positive local engagement in grassroots politics and community development. The situation becomes more complex when it arrives to the reality of youth of traditional societies such as Balochistan and NWFP. Number of cases reported that indicate youth involvement in unlawful activities including but not limited to illegal trade, human trafficking, militancy [ethnic and religious] and communal violence.
On the other hand, available education and political system is not creating mass level awareness regarding existing situations. They neither have the capacity to comprehend these situations in its totality, nor capable to take the challenge of creating alternative spaces and opportunities that nurture a counter vialing power among youth and communities against extremism and militancy and create basis for sustainable peace.

Pakistan is a country facing massive problems such as poverty, illiteracy, health issues, terrorism and the worst of all, violence. Though violence on the whole is a terrible problem, violence against women has no cultural or class limitations. No woman is protected from this problem that is spreading in our country like an epidemic. Women in Pakistan face staggeringly high rates of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence In 2008, a total number of 7,571 incidents of violence against women were reported in Pakistan, out of which 4,416 cases occurred in the Punjab, 1,380 in Sindh, 799 in the NWFP, 767 in Baluchistan and 209 in Islamabad while nobody knows how many such incidents go unnoticed and unreported. Approximately, 70-90% of women experience spousal abuse. The sad aspect of this situation is that the attackers largely go unpunished due to our highly incompetent justice system. If we look at statistics, 80% cases of violence against women are pending in lower courts. It is shocking and nothing less than a nightmare.

YOuth" Comparison

Pakistan's population has a major part which is based on the young generation. Not only Pakistan, but the world’s most popular and successful countries have a massive number of young people. Many developing countries rely on their future generations and even plan their goals and strategies according to their younger generations.

The point to be reviewed is that as being a part of the young generation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where do we stand? What are our goals? How sincere are we with ourselves?
If we will sincere to ourselves, then we will automatically become sincere to our country. Words alone do not work when facing crises. By only calling ourselves superior over India cannot make us superior over them. Their youth is not very strong yet, but they are in progress to becoming a strong nation with a rich young generation. While discussing their youth, they don’t have any problem working in call centers or banks while studying.
The basic requirement of the youth of Pakistan is that they should be serious about themselves, their careers and the future. Once they start planning their future, many things can be settled. Not at all are same, many features vary from individual to individual. We cannot say that the young generation of Pakistan is dull, instead they are energetic and intelligent but normally they don’t focus on their territorial requirements. If we compare with the western world, their youngsters think to become strong financially, morally and socially. The readers are not being ashamed (I can’t ever) but the message and needs of future are being forwarded to the world’s best young generation. In our normal life, each one of us knows how much we think about or plan our life in a day. We all know how our forefathers worked to get freedom for us, even how parents struggle to make us so strong in a society. We must think, will we return it to them by just kidding, eating, smoking and enjoying the whole day?
I believe that people fit into different categories and characteristics. There are hundreds of fields in the world and every person has a different choice according to his mind and exposure. The age of youth is the time to catch that specialty from within. With the passage of time, polish it, and change many things according to your will The conclusion is that we can also become strong financially, morally and socially by working hard under our prestigious values and conditions….
