Rustamani, Sanaullah, and Tarique Hassan Umrani. "Perceptions of Sindhi Intelligentsia towards English Language learning." Progressive Research Journal of Arts & Humanities (PRJAH) 4, no. 2 (November 5, 2022): 15–28. http://dx.doi.org/10.51872/prjah.vol4.iss2.224.
Full textAbstract:
This research work aims to explore out the perceptions of Sindhi intelligentsia related to English language learning. English in Pakistan is given much significance and considered as gateway to success. In the private sector schools, English is used as a medium of instruction from Nursery, KG and onwards. The widespread use of English in Pakistan is considered as linguistic imperialism and exploitation of the regional languages. Sindhi is believed to be one of the oldest languages. The British authorities during their reign in Sindh promoted Sindhi language and culture. In order to ease difficulties in Sindhi writing, the British government established a committee to design an appropriate Sindhi script, because previously, it was written in the different scripts. Above all, Sindhi was also designated as an official language of Sindh province. The data of this study was collected through semi- structured interviews. The findings of this study reveal that Sindhi intelligentsia is well- aware of the utilitarian value of English. They also believe that proficiency over English language can help promote their culture and literature across the globe. This study further, reveals that Sindhi intelligentsia has positive attitude towards English language, but they also want to preserve their own language and cultural identity.

In Sindhi literature, the novel titled “Mohan Jo Daro” is a literary work representing the ancient Sindhi culture and civilisation. It has been playing a key role in understanding and experiencing the past of Sindh. The Novel was written by a famous Sindhi novelist and short-story writer, Ali Muhammad, popularly known as Ali Baba. It is one of the reasons for the popularity of the Mohenjodaro and Ali Baba among Sindhi-speaking audiences. Being an archaeology fiction book, the Novel plays a key role in making the people experience the past of Sindh (through Mohenjodaro and the Indus Civilization) in a stylised way. In this research, the Novel has been studied in the framework of science (archaeology) popularisation and “experiencing the past”. The study explores, identifies and brings out the information included in the Novel about Mohenjodaro. The aesthetic context of Ali Baba’s Novel has also been highlighted in this research.

Full textAbstract:
Due to COVID-19 and the repeated imposition of lockdowns in Pakistan’s Sindh province, the life of senior citizens has become challenging. Given the scarcity of health care policies targeted at Sindh’s aged persons, the use of folk literature as therapy has increased to support against isolation, depression, and distress caused by COVID-19 and lockdowns. Although research on healthy ageing from medical and health care perspectives has been increasingly conducted in different contexts, there is a need to explore how folk literature can contribute to psychological, spiritual, and social wellbeing. Therefore, this research, conducted by collecting data from 15 aged participants through interviews and conversations, seeks to explore how senior Sindhis have used folk literature such as poetry, proverbs, and tales as therapy for their healing. Findings show that the participants’ use of Sindhi folk literature contributes to their psychological (eudemonic, evaluative, and hedonic) wellbeing, spiritual healing, and social satisfaction.

Hussain, Ghulam. "Appropriation of Caste Spaces in Pakistan: The Theo-Politics of Short Stories in Sindhi Progressive Literature." Religions 10, no. 11 (November 12, 2019): 627. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel10110627.
Full textAbstract:
This paper is an attempt to understand the appropriation of spaces of Dalits by Sindhi progressive activists and short story writers in Pakistan as they construct, or rather undermine, caste at the anvil of religion and gender to reframe their own theo-political agenda premised on political Sufism or Sufi nationalism. I specifically discuss the narratives emergent of the three popular short stories that are reframed as having exceptional emancipatory potential for the Dalits. Assessing the emancipatory limits of the Sindhi progressive narrative, I argue that while the short stories purport to give fuller expression to religious, gender-based, and class dimensions of the problem, it elides the problem of casteism and the subsequent existential demand of Dalit emancipation. Given the hegemonic influence of local Ashrafia class, the internal caste frictions are glossed over through political Sufism or Sindhi nationalism. This gloss of politicized Sufism hampers Dalit agency and rather facilitates the appropriation of Dalit spaces by the Ashrafia class. This leads to the conclusion that the seemingly progressive literary-political narratives framed in theo-political idiom may offer to the oppressed no more than token sympathy, compassion, self-pity, and false pride in legends. Instead, they allow the appropriation of spaces and events of the oppressed, and the objectification of oppressed bodies by the oppressor.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an attempt to explicate the emancipatory limits of a historical figure in a caste society. As a case study, it offers a critical analysis of a metaphor of Shah Abdul Latif, the eighteenth-century poet who inherited enormous caste capital as a Sayed and custodian of a Sufi shrine. The poetry and life history of Shah Latif are often invoked by Sindhi nationalists to pose an ontological challenge to the narrative of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Situating Latif in the South Asian political context, this paper offers a historiographical analysis of the vernacular literature on the projection of Latif as the prime symbol of emancipation for the Sindhi nation. It contends that Latif, as we know him today, is an anachronistic construct that was initially inspired by the Orientalist motive, and later used by privileged caste Hindus and Ashrafiya morality to feed the performative Sindhi nationalist agenda.

This article is an attempt to examine the significance of folk literature which embodies the history, tradition and culture; implies a socio-cultural corpus specific to a particular ethnic group, and includes folk-behavior or the study of the specific customs and beliefs of a given social group and folk life or the study of folk-traditions. The folk literature of Sindh, like all other folk literature is the result of an interaction of cultural, geographical and religious factors that offers valuable historical evidence of cultural influence. Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1689- 1752 CE) is a celebrated Sufi poet, philosopher and social reformist, who employed folklore as a major segment in his poetry. The collection of Bhitai’s poetry which mostly comprised of the folklore is titled Shah Jo Risalo. This paper deals with a socio-cultural analysis of the folklore as a source for providing an image of the woman in the society. The Sindhi folklore also depicts an interesting picture of the prevailing customs and traditions. This article deals with a critical approach in order to reveal some historical truth in this regard.

The Ginān tradition form a special place in devotional and religious life in the Shia Imami Ismaili Tariqah. Ginānrecitations are ubiquitous in Ismā’īlī devotional life; played in homes, cars, and recited in Jamatkhana on auspicious religious occasions. Ginān recitation likewise comprise a central element of the congregational life of the Shia Imami Ismaili community within Jamā‘atKhāna. The vast corpus of the Ginān literature has long formed part of the spiritual heritage of the South-Asian Ismā’īlī community, and especially in Sindhi, Khoja and Gujarati South Asian communities. This study uses the genre of the Ginān to critically engage the boundary frameworks that can be considered tafsīrliterature and argues that the ginānic narrative are not only communal ‘liturgical’, but highly exegetical and theologically complex examples of a Subcontinent vernacular Shī’ī exegetical tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Human being uses language to convey their messages, emotions, feelings, observations and experiences to others. For this, language was used as spoken and written language, and different languages came into existence due to geographical boundaries and linguistic groups. And for those who know one language, commonly it is not possible to know another language. Human emotions and feelings are expressed in one language in speech or writing which the other language knower is generally unable to understand. Thus there was a need to translate this expression into another language which was called Translation. This Tradition of translation is also found in the Urdu language, Urdu is also influenced by international and regional languages and it has also had its effects on these languages that are why there is a wide and coherent series of translations of international literature into Urdu and Urdu literature into foreign languages. On the other hand, there is a strong tradition of Urdu translations of regional languages such as Sindhi, Seraiki, Pashto, Balouchi, Brahui and Punjabi literature, and a well-built tradition of translation from Urdu literature into these regional languages. In this article, we will discuss the tradition and importance of Urdu to Punjabi and Punjabi to Urdu translations.

Full textAbstract:
Dalit Literature is a body of texts produced by writers whose caste background used to be referred to as “Untouchable” or “Scheduled Caste” and whose writings engages with caste, caste discrimination and their life from a Dalit point of view. This literature is specifically written to present the typical social, cultural and historical aspects of the Dalit communities. Dalit Literature emerged in the 1960s in Marathi language and it soon appeared in Bangla, Hindi, Kannada, Punjabi, Sindhi and Tamil languages through narratives such as poem, short stories and autobiographies which stood out due to their stark portrayal of reality and the Dalit political scene.The word “Dalit” mean “ground”, “suppressed”, “crushed” or “broken to pieces”.The term Dalit is used as an adjective or noun to describe the people or communities that have remained down- trodden or at the margins of society throughout India’s long Social and History. The famous 19th century social reformer and the protagonist of thee4 interests of Dalits in Maharashtra, Jyotiba Phule first used this term in the context of the exploitation of the people who were conventionally called “Shudra” and “Outcaste”. The term “Dalit” is not an indicative term but it refers to such people and communities that are historically and structurally suppressed and excluded from the mainstream of society. “Dalit” is not a caste but a socio-economic category of discriminated people belonging to many castes and social groups speaking many languages. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar used the term to give a new respectful and empowering identity to the so called “untouchable” castes in preference to the term “Harijan” (Children of God), which was found to be a patronizing word.

The purpose of this paper is to address the Teaching of Spanish as a
Foreign Language (TSFL) through the use of short traditional or popular
texts. These are closer in character to spoken language, thus providing
an opportunity to implement a competence-based approach to learning -namely through communicative competence, which is at the centre of
standard syllabi today. These popular texts are presented here as a tool
for teaching cultural heritage as well as being an optimal base for
creative writing workshops. All of which is carried out through the use
of new classroom technologies and other, similar texts with which to
create an educational audiovisual catalogue for the classroom and/or the
school.

Hussain, Ghulam. "Understanding Hegemony of Caste in Political Islam and Sufism in Sindh, Pakistan." Journal of Asian and African Studies 54, no. 5 (April 4, 2019): 716–45. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0021909619839430.
Full textAbstract:
This paper is an attempt to investigate the historical trajectory of Ashrafia hegemony in Sindh, the province of Pakistan. I begin with the analysis of biopolitics of caste, class and religion organised around Hindu–Muslim binarism and unity as it unfolded during and after the partition of the Indian subcontinent. I particularly analyse the demographic shifts, the official categorisation of populations, and the communal and ethnonationalist claims that led to the specific kind of interpretation of religion, caste and class. Informed by the Ambedkarian subaltern perspective and based on the analysis of ethnographic data and vernacular literature, I explain that nationalist ideologies framed in the narratives of political Islam and Sufism tend to organise politics around Hindu–Muslim otherness, as in case of Pakistani nationalism, and Hindu–Muslim harmony, as in case of Sindhi nationalism. Based on that understanding, I argue that Ashrafia advantage, by and large, is the product of pre-existing historical hegemonic relations than any conscious strategy, and or directly imposed domination. Since both the Ashrafia narratives primarily imagine people through religious binaries, they lack the counter-hegemonic elements that could confront casteism that lies at the intersection of class and religion. None of the narratives, being performative projections of the ideal religious society, brought casteism in their focus while dealing with the structural inequalities, social hierarchies and the issues of political representation of the Dalit class. It resulted in the unwarranted legitimacy for Ashrafia hegemony, Jati Hindu domination and Dalit subordination. This re-hierarchised caste groups and continue to (re)distribute the caste capital by (re)producing Sayedism, Dalit exclusion and caste-class oligarchies.

Full textAbstract:
Background We determined whether dimensions of psychosocial distress during pregnancy individually and collectively predicted preterm birth (PTB) in Pakistani women as it may be misleading to extrapolate results from literature predominantly conducted in high-income countries. Methods This cohort study included 1603 women recruited from four Aga Khan Hospital for Women and Children in Sindh, Pakistan. The primary binary outcome of PTB (i.e., livebirth before 37 completed weeks’ gestation) was regressed on self-reported symptoms of anxiety (Pregnancy-Related Anxiety (PRA) Scale and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-1), depression (Edinburgh Perinatal Depression Scale (EPDS)), and covariates such as chronic stress (Perceived Stress Scale) assessed with standardized question and scales with established language equivalency (Sindhi and Urdu). Results All 1603 births occurred between 24 and 43 completed weeks’ gestation. PRA was a stronger predictor of PTB than other types of antenatal psychosocial distress conditions. Chronic stress had no effect on the strength of association between PRA and PTB and a slight but non-significant effect on depression. A planned pregnancy significantly lowered risk of PTB among women who experienced PRA. Aggregate antenatal psychosocial distress did not improve model prediction over PRA. Conclusions Like studies in high-income countries, PRA became a strong predictor of PTB when considering interactive effects of whether the current pregnancy was planned. Women’s resilience and abilities to make sexual and reproductive health decisions are important to integrate in future research. Findings should be generalized with caution as socio-cultural context is a likely effect modifier. We did not consider protective/strength-oriented factors, such as resilience among women.

Man created language for his necessities and God gifted him with the ability of listening, speaking and perceiving with the help of speech and auditory organs. Resultantly, he created the language (a noble act) because of which God rewarded him with the honor of being 'supreme creature. but when we study the structure of language, two things are significant: the first and foremost is the natural thing with which he shares his intense feelings to his fellow beings, and second is the literature which enlightens the next generations and helps the language reach its destinations. The cause is same with the Brahui Language .it is an ancient language. Its literary era starts from 709 AC. it evolves from Heroghalefi manuscript to Roman, Khat- e-Nask, Sindhi, Afghani and Persian. Since the alphabets of Brahui language are unacceptable, its literature faces a great deal of difficulties in its text. for example, there is a huge difficulty of dictation, for Brahui literary figures failed to structure, specify, or get its alphabet accepted. so different literary figures use different 'Brahui Phonetic Alphabets' which is deteriorating the question of dictation. So it is not easy to solve the conundrum of dictation here.

Sītā of Sindh
The aim of this paper is to show how the Sindhī community in India (Rājasthān) builds and strengthens its identity by using both traditional and modern means of transmission. The process of reinterpretation of tradition will be demonstrated by discussing the Ūmar–Mārvī story, which belongs to the repertoire of orally transmitted local Sindhī folk stories. The Ūmar–Mārvī story mainly emphasizes local patriotism and adherence to motherland. The message of the story is still valid in the 21st century. In the Surabhi, the literary magazine on Sindhī literature in the Hindī language issued periodically in Jaypur, it took the modern form of a comic book. Thus, it provides another example of a well-known fact in Indian culture, that of the old being repeated but in a new form. Despite using modern means of transmission, traditional mechanisms can still be seen. It seems that it is not enough for the Sindhī community to continue using the folk story but, moreover, it is necessary to give the story a higher rank (a recognised one) by placing it within the frames of the mainstream tradition, that is the so-called Great Tradition of the Hindu culture. This aim is achieved by making the heroine Mārvī equal to Sītā, and, thus, the Sindhī story is linked with the great epic Rāmāyaṇa. As a result, the final product is an old Sindhī folk story presented in the form of a comic book, targeted for a wider audience than the Sindhī community exclusively, entitled Sītā of Sindh (Sindh kī Sītā).

Background: COVID-19 pandemic globally challenged the healthcare sector as well as posed a serious threat to mental health among both young and adults rendering people with a sense of uncertainty and loss. Objective Aim: To assess the psychological burden among the adolescent population during the pandemic and lockdown. Methodology: A cross sectional study was moderated by the research team at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center between April 2020 to October 2021. All individuals between the ages of 13 to 17 years were included. The proforma was circulated among residents of the province of Sindh that assessed the emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity-inattention, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behaviors among participants. Results: The mean SDQ score was 24.97 with a standard deviation of 6.62. The mean scores for emotional symptoms, conduct problem, hyperactivity, peer problem, and prosocial Scale were 5.47, 6.82, 5.85, 6.82, and 3.02, respectively. A significant relationship was revealed between mental health stability and witnessing a death of a known person due to COVID-19 infection (p=0.003). Furthermore, the study found that Sindhi individuals had significantly higher scores as compared to other ethnic groups (p=0.002). Conclusion: The young population is as equally stressed as adults and may suffer from substantial anxiety during the pandemic. Therefore, parents should be encouraged to create an atmosphere of support and goodwill. Keywords: Adolescent, coping mechanism, covid19, pandemic, psychological distress

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Phonetics and phonology are very interesting areas of Linguistics, and are interrelated. They are based on the human speech system, speech perception, native speakers’ intuition, and vocalic and consonantal systems of languages spoken in this world. There are more than six thousand languages spoken in the world. Every language has its own phonemic inventory, sound system, and phonological and phonetic rules that differ from other languages; most even have distinct orthographic systems. While languages spoken in developed countries are well-studied, those spoken in underdeveloped countries are not. There is a great need to examine them using a scientific approach. These under-studied languages need to be documented scientifically using advanced technological instruments to bring objective results, and linguistics itself provides the scientific basis for the study of a language. Most research studies to date have also been carried out with reference to old or existing written literature in poetry and drama. In the current era of research, scholars are looking for objective scientific approaches, e.g., experimental and instrumental studies that include acoustic research on the sound systems of less privileged languages spoken locally in developing countries. In this context, Sindhi is an example of this phenomenon, and un-researched with reference to syllable structure and the exponents of lexical stress patterns.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper retraces the history, activities, and contribution of an intellectual commune active in Quetta, Pakistan between 1950 and 1954: the ‘Laṭxāna commune’. Laṭxāna (Psht. ‘House of idleness’) is the name of a place in which Baluch, Pashtun, Urdu-speaking and Sindhi intellectuals settled in 1950. Laṭxāna’s intellectuals were in close contact with the Communist Party of Pakistan and its cultural branch, the Progressive Writers’ Association, and attempted to spread socialist or communist thought in Baluchistan. Following an agenda outlined by communist and progressive writers, they set out to develop literature in the languages of Baluchistan, launching a Baluchi literary association and a Pashto-language journal and publishing the first collections of modern Baluchi poetry. Laṭxāna’s members also promoted their outlook through journalism, and edited journals, such as Xāwar, Nawā-e waṭan and Ciltan. In 1954, the Laṭxāna intellectuals—who had so far been simple representatives of the Communists or Progressives in Baluchistan—started their own political movement. They created a political party and published a manifesto, which called for a socialist Baluchistan free from the influence of landowners and feudal leaders. Alongside ideological disagreements, the arrest of some of the commune’s prominent members finally led to the closure of Laṭxāna, but the group nevertheless had a long-lasting influence on Baluchistan’s political and intellectual landscape. In this paper, I shall discuss the commune’s literary, journalistic, and political contributions, notably through the accounts of its founding fathers, Mir Abdullah Jamaldini and Sain Kamal Khan Sherani.

Ab s t rac t In this paper we have prepared the maps of Palaeo-channels of rivers of Kachchh region of Gujarat. One can easily detect Palaeo channels in the Kachchh region of Gujarat as many rivers from Punjab, Rajasthan and J8K were flowing in this region. There are literature evidences and local stories that the people travelled using boats in these rivers and there were tax collection centers on the banks of these rivers. Kachchh was the entry gate to Sindh. Sindh was one of the most prosperous regions once upon a time as there were riverine ports which had enormous import and export activities. But, due to tectonic activities the rivers of western India shifted their courses westwards. Hence many rivers originating from Himalayas flow from Punjab to present day Pakistan. There were mighty rivers like Saraswati flowing in this region. It is also said that the culture flourished on the banks of Indus and Saraswati was known as Sapt-Sindhu Civilization. In this paper, we have tried to map the route of the Palaeo channels that flows through the desert areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat.

This paper presents detailed critiques of existing literature and debate on crucial issues of domestic violence against women in Rural Sindh, Pakistan. Primarily, definitions, causes, consequences, and prevention of domestic violence, as well as sociological and feminist theoretical framework perspectives, are discussed profoundly. Discussions and analyses of past materials, meanings, nature, and scope of studies on domestic violence worldwide and in Sindh, Pakistan, backgrounds are discussed. Patriarchy, masculinity, and their relation to domestic violence are briefly elaborated. The international perspective on domestic violence, ideology and concept of patriarchy, men and masculinity connecting to the situations of marriage, gender relations, roles, legal and religious perspective in Pakistan about domestic violence in Sindh, and previously reported incidence is also reviewed. Likewise, relevant literature and its review on the topic of past studies, connecting with the present study, have also been established with relevant theories, which have overlapping effects on domestic violence. Literature review sections of papers define that there is not any single theory or reason; rather, there are multiple socio-economic, psychological, and feminist viewpoints which allow perpetrators to commit domestic violence against women in rural Sindh, Pakistan.

The informal economy in Pakistan is a part that has been mostly overlooked by researchers, although it is important part of everyday life in provinces like Sindh, Pakistan. This paper seeks to examine how the street entrepreneurs contribute to the economy of country and what type of challenges they face during street vending. By reviewing the extant literature, it appears that there is an acute shortage of empirical evidence on street hawkers in Pakistan, especially in Sindh province. This paper begins to fill this gap by analyzing hawkers' contributions, and the problems they are facing. The qualitative method was followed in this research, study seeks to determine the contribution of street hawkers as well as the issues that street vendors face during vending or conduct their business. There are many hawkers in the heart province of Sindh, hence the researchers used a convenient sampling method to select 30 respondents for the interview, the thematic analysis method was used to analyze data. The study's findings may have a positive impact on street vendors, and the challenges associated with street vending may be reduced.

Abstract This article examines the practice of Center-Province interaction in Pakistan by analyzing intergovernmental relations (IGR) between the federal (i.e., Center) and Sindh provincial governments. It focuses on the period when the Pakistan Tehreek-I-Insaaf (PTI) was in power at the Center (i.e., 2018–2022). Analyzing executive federalism and provincial governments is an understudied area of research in Pakistan. I provide an overview of the emerging literature on IGR and map out the institutional architecture of federalism in Pakistan. I pay special attention to platforms for managing Center-Province conflict, especially the Council of Common Interests (CCI). I then trace the trajectory of provincial autonomy in Sindh in the context of Pakistan’s centralized federation. My focus is on the impact of 2010 18th Amendment on regional power and the management of executive relations. I explore the critical issues of discord between the federal government of the PTI and the provincial one of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in Sindh. My analysis reflects continuing dominance of the Center and its linkage with party politics in the framework of executive interactions between governments at the two levels, characterized by a significant differential in their authority. I argue that constitutional devolution needs to be cushioned by a corresponding decentralization of powers to provinces like Sindh in the administrative and financial sectors.

Full textAbstract:
The key development objective of Pakistan, since its existence, has been to reduce poverty, inequality and to improve the condition of its people. While this goal seems very important in itself yet is also necessary for the eradication of other social, political and economic problems. The objective to eradicate poverty has remained same but methodology to analysing this has changed. It can be said that failure of most of the poverty strategies is due to lack of clear choice of poverty definition. A sound development policy including poverty alleviation hinges upon accurate and well-defined measurements of multidimensional socio-economic characteristics which reflect the ground realities confronting the poor and down trodden rather than using some abstract/income based criteria for poverty measurement. Conventionally welfare has generally been measured using income or expenditures criteria. Similarly, in Pakistan poverty has been measured mostly in uni-dimension, income or expenditures variables. However, recent literature on poverty has pointed out some drawbacks in measuring uni-dimensional poverty in terms of money. It is argued that uni-dimensional poverty measures are insufficient to understand the wellbeing of individuals. Poverty is a multidimensional concept rather than a unidimensional. Uni-dimensional poverty is unable to capture a true picture of poverty because poverty is more than income deprivation

Construction industry has created numerous employment opportunities and playing a role model in economic growth of Pakistan. This industry is facing serious and critical problem of cost overrun especially in highway sector in country Pakistan particularly in Sindh Province. The purpose of this study is to identify mitigation measures for significant factors of cost overrun in highway projects of Sindh Province. In this study, mixed-mode research approach has been used. Quantitatively, a structured questionnaire based on 64 common factors of cost overrun from in-depth literature review was developed and distributed to30 selected respondents among the client, contractor and consultant having more than 15 years of experience in handling highway projects in Sindh Province. The collected data was statistically analyzed using SPSS where 8 most significant factors of cost overrun were identified. Qualitatively, the identified eight most significant factors were then incorporated in open ended questionnaire and distributed to 30 selected experts for them to write possible mitigation measures for each of the significant factors. The data was then analyzed through content analysis technique to rank the mitigation measures according to their substantiality. The results of this study would be helpful for construction practitioners to be used as reference in taking up appropriate measures in controlling cost overrun in highways projects in Pakistan.

Full textAbstract:
Ecotourism has the strongest pro-poor effect on people living around wetlands, as the visitors come to the site they create room for direct marketing, thereby incentivizing the development of an economic fiscal multiplier effect. Because of unsustainable incentives, the pattern of "trying livelihoods" in the Chotiari Wetland Complex, which is in Sindh-District Sanghar, has been dwindling. Furthermore, some evolving development actors, as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), Sindh Tourism Development Corporation (STDC), and WWF- Pakistan have attempted to take control of the local community's destiny by recognizing tourism development as a way of enhancing their livelihoods. The objective of the research is to find and explain the current status of tourism development and its impact on the local communities and environment of Chotiari Wetland Complex another objective is to establish the architectural ethics in planning and developing tourist’s facilities that bridge the gap between ecotourism and its architecture and is beneficial for the community and genral environment. A review of some of the contemporary literature indicates that the primary factors that connect ecotourism to architecture and contribute to the upliftment of the local community and highlighting the lack of literature that focuses on the architecture of ecotourism in wetlands with a hot arid climate. An analytical study of the hot arid area of the Chotiari Wetlands' Vernacular Architecture is addressed in this research, outlining the factors influencing its significance. This is accompanied by a discussion of the potential of the Chotiari Wetlands’ vernacular architecture as a basis for the development of eco-tourism architecture. The methodology adopted for the study was a case study with a combined technique of qualitative research. Data was collected through private walks, surveys, observations, photographs, videos, sketches, focused gathering discussions, on-site meetings with involved stakeholders, and study of existing literature. Considering the findings of the study, along with the observed natural resources in the area traditional mud straw, and reed houses have been proven to have potential regarding eco-tourism and to be best suited for the area, both for the dwelling of residents and the accommodation of tourists with the elimination of deficiencies. It is also revealed that the current tourism architecture is not user-friendly and does not adapt to the local context and the environment. Moreover, the local community is interested in tourism-related income generation activities. The paper concludes that architects and resource planners must take the concept of vernacular architecture as a key principle for future development and construction of ecotourism architecture with the involvement of local communities.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of short-term loan (STL) vs long-term loan (LTL) on wheat productivity of small farms in Sindh, Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach The econometric estimation is based on cross-sectional data collected in 2016 from 18 villages in three districts, i.e. Shikarpur, Sukkur and Shaheed Benazirabad, Sindh, Pakistan. The sample data set consist of 180 wheat farmers. The collected data were analyzed through different econometric techniques like Cobb–Douglas production function and Instrumental variables (two-stage least squares) approach. Findings This study reconfirmed that agricultural credit has a positive and highly significant effect on wheat productivity, while the short-term loan has a stronger effect on wheat productivity than the long-term loan. The reasons behind the phenomenon may be the significantly higher usage of agricultural inputs like seeds of improved variety and fertilizers which can be transformed into the wheat yield in the same year. However, the LTL users have significantly higher investments in land preparation, irrigation and plant protection, which may lead to higher wheat production in the coming years. Research limitations/implications In the present study, only those wheat farmers were considered who obtained agricultural loans from formal financial institutions like Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited and Khushhali Bank. However, in the rural areas of Sindh, Pakistan, a considerable proportion of small-scale farmers take credit from informal financial channels. Therefore future researchers should consider the informal credits as well. Originality/value This is the first paper to examine the effects of agricultural credit on wheat productivity of small farms in Sindh, Pakistan. This paper will be an important addition to the emerging literature regarding effects of credit studies.

Undivided attention is being driven by construction productivity in today’s era. The main and the foremost concern of any organization is its construction productivity. The discovery of factors impacting construction productivity has been the subject of much research. For a very long time, research has sought to identify the key elements influencing building productivity in various nations. Continuous work in this approach has led academics to identify a wide range of factors. While the subject of this paper is however has been limited to Sindh province of Pakistan only. The construction industry of Pakistan is swelling with each passing day thus construction productivity is of the major concern. This paper aims at exposing the key weakness in current construction practices being employed in various building projects of Sindh. For this purpose, 135 questionnaires, after a rich literature survey, were distributed among the industry experts and the obtained results were analyzed and then ranked in Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). It was revealed through the results that 10 factors chiefly influence the construction productivity which are shortage of unskilled labor, payment delay, less salary, insufficient modern tools, delay in delivery of material at site, material shortage and quality, labor absenteeism, equipment breakdown, experience of contractor and construction technology. At the end of the study, it is recommended that a framework maybe developed based upon the factors given above to improve the construction productivity of the building projects of Sindh.

Population planning is inevitable for a sustainable and secure future of a lower middle-income economy, like, Pakistan which stands fifth populous economy across the globe and has high population growth rate. Based on Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 data and by covering a sample of 12339 ever-married females, the study intends to investigate the correlates of family planning services use in Pakistan as well as the use of contraceptives across the regions and districts of Pakistan. An exploration of 34 studies (spanning over a time from 1989 to 2021), specifically on Pakistan, with respect to family planning services utilization, have found that the use of family planning services was an outcome of a woman’s education, awareness status, wealth or economic status, religion, husband’s approval, area of residence, number of living children, prevalence of the desired family planning method, desire for more children, subsidized healthcare services and other social or individual factors. In Pakistan, the average contraceptive use rate was recorded as between 19-49 percent across the regions and between 0-71 percent across the districts. The region Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) had the highest contraceptive usage rate, i.e., 49%, followed by: Punjab (42%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Gilgit Baltistan (39% each), Sindh and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) (34% each), Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) (24%), and Balochistan (19%). Amongst the districts, top three districts with highest contraceptive usage were Jafarabad, Sheikhupura and Jhang whereas the districts of Rajanpur, Tor Ghar and Kohlu were lying at the bottom. Region-wise disaggregation found that in the province of Punjab and Sindh, the range of contraceptive use across the districts was respectively ranged between 0-70 percent and 8-60 percent. Likewise, in KPK and Balochistan provinces, the range of contraceptive use had been recorded between 0-59 percent and between 2-71 percent. While the range of contraceptive use in Gilgit-Baltistan, FATA region, and in AJK had been respectively recorded between 9-48 percent, 11-39 percent, and 17-47 percent.
