Saraiki literature in rich in Marsia. Saraiki languages have more elegiac literature than any other language of the sub-continent has. In fact, early Saraiki literature flourished due to Marsia (elegy) and Saraiki language developed mostly due to Majaalis-i-'aza. As I came to know, the Zaakir of the Majaalis in the Saraiki society had to learn Saraiki language whichever area he might belong to and whichever language he spoke because he had to recite Marsia in the Saraiki language in the Majaalis. Communication took place in the Saraiki language. This book is the English translation of "Multan ke Qadeem Imam bara aor Majalis-e-Aaza" (Urdu version) and has been awarded best book award in the year 2004 in Pakistan.

The pharmaceutical industries are hungry to speed up formulation development process. In Vitro-In Vivo Correlation (IVIVC) modeling fulfills this objective efficiently. The objective of this book is to provide a systematic approach to develop level A correlation for the poorly soluble drugs leading to development of a suitable dosage forms of biopharmaceutical classification System (BCS) Class II drugs by reducing time and cost i.e. research and development (R & D) work. This book is also helpful for the postgraduate students of pharmacy and allied sciences to get basic guidelines for pre-clinical and clinical studies of developed formulations.

The Kashmir problem is the oldest unresolved issue on the UN agenda. The present popular uprising in the Indian-held Kashmir has redeemed a forgotten cause; and the nuclear testing by both India and Pakistan sprung the issue back on the international scene, and without resolving this focal issue, a lasting peace in South Asia will remain elusive. This study deals with the issue from its origin to the present with an effort to analyze the problem impartially and dispassionately to provide an objective understanding of the dispute. However, the conclusions drawn and the options recommended are solely from a Pakistani perspective. The study explains the intricacies of this complex border dispute, which over the years has been elevated to an ideological tug of war between India and Pakistan. All of this in the melee of passion for the disputed land, legal claims, moral ascendancy, and a growing Kashmiri nationalism, not to mention the fast changing international backdrop. The paper promotes a fresh approach for Pakistan in order to engage India in a meaningful dialogue on the issue and to involve the international community to fulfill its obligation. The Kashmiri nationalism has emerged as a potent third party to the dispute and thus is addressed. A multipronged approach for Pakistan has been proposed on the covert unilateral and overt bilateral and multilateral planes in order to work on all possible facets of the problem.
