As you may be aware that Al-Barkaat Educational Society is running a high quality and reputed school named as Al-Barkaat Public School at Aligarh since 2004. The school is affiliated to CBSE, New Delhi and runs classes from Pre-nursery to class XII. The total strength of students in the two sections of the school is 1200 and 200 respectively.

The Al-Barkaat Campus houses two boys hostels and a girls hostel with total capacity of 300 and 150 respectively. The attached dining hall, mosque and extensive facilities for academic and co-curricular activities make it a perfect place for learning and grooming.
The last year's performance of our students in the CBSE Board Examination in class X has been 100%. More than 90% students have secured first division and 146 distinctions in total 315 papers in which our students appeared.

At present we are looking for a principal for the school. The desired candidate will be a person of high caliber with sound academic background with essential academic qualifications, proven record of performance with working experience as a principal in a CBSE affiliated school and with a good command over language (English, Hindi and Urdu).

Al-Barkaat is proud to be a step forward in the Aligarh Movement. It has drawn and will continue to draw support and well-wishes of Aligs. It is my appeal to the members of AMU Network to provide brotherly help in our search for a right candidate for principal ship of our school. If you know someone who fits our requirements kindly forward this information to him/her.

Saiyid Hamid : Muslim face of India , A Review

Book review

Celebrating Greatness

Book: Saiyid Hamid - Muslim face of India
Compiler: Mushtaque Madni
Publisher: P.A. Inamdar, "Daulat", 963 New Nana Peth, Pune 411002
Pages: 152+16
Price: Rs 400
Year: 2009

By M Zeyaul Haque

A festschrift celebrating Saiyid Hamid's life, lived meaningfully and to the hilt, is a welcome addition to reading material available on the Subcontinent's men of substance.

It is interesting to mull over what constitutes the ''greatness'' of great men (and women). Well, may be extraordinary intelligence. The willingness to work consistently, intelligently, and hard. Physical and/or moral courage, or both. Compassion, wider sympathies that don't get limited by national, ethnic, racial, religious or sectarian boundaries. Excellence in sports, literature, film, music, scholarship. Any of them, or a combination of some of them. This list could be quite long.

Aperson meeting Saiyid Hamid for the first time begins to have some idea of his extraordinariness. He/she would tell herself/himself, "Hey, this is not the usual stuff. They are no longer producing this brand." And, gradually, as days pass into weeks, months, years and decades, his greatness begins to unfold before that person like an exquisite perfume which begins to grow on you only after you wear it.

Educationist PA Inamdar, who shares with Saiyid Hamid his passion for spreading knowledge, took it upon himself to have a celebratory volume compiled and published. The compilation has been done by Mushtaque Madni, described on the book's jacket as "writer, journalist and scholar of comparativereligions." Twenty eight friends and admirers of Saiyid Hamid have contributed to this book, most of them being familiar names in India 's academic, legal and social circles.

We have Govind Narain and Prof. Amrik Singh, Prof. Mushirul Hasan and Prof. B.Sheikh Ali, Justice Sachar, UC Agarwal, Prof. Vipin KumarTripathi, Asghar Ali Engineer and Dr. John Dayal, among other luminaries. Reading this slender volume cover to cover one gets the impression that the myriad qualities of head and heart that Saiyid Hamid possesses are, in some measure, also reflected in the writers.

The headlines of the write-ups are indicative of the qualities that the writers have seen in Saiyid Saheb (and they also reflect on the "worldview" of the authors as they indicate what they value in great persons). Syed Shahabuddin comes on as the cheerleader of this Last Indian Hero. The lusty Syed Sahabuddin headline, ''89, Not Out'' seems to pep up the hero for a deep second wind, an explosive burst of muscular energy, to sprint across the next 11 years, before thinking of relaxing or winding down. Let us hope and pray all of us will be around in 2020 to hear Syed Shahabuddin shouting, delirious with joy and excitement, "Well done Old Boy, we stand tallerbecause of you." Amen..

This is just the beginning of the appraisal of the phenomenon called Saiyid Hamid. He is far greater than the aggregate of all that has been written here. For a proper, more enduring study we would be needing an expert like Prof. Mushirul Hasan, whose work on the 19th-20th century great Muslims of India and the tenor and texture of Muslim lives, is a remarkable feat. Prof. Hasan is here, but only as Sylvester Stallone appearing for two minutes in a Hindi film. Let us hope Prof. Hasan has his eyes firmly set on Saiyid Saheb as he had earlier on Dr Mukhtar Ansari, Maulana Azad, Mohammad Alior Maulana Mahmood Hasan of earlier generations. But, let our hero first dash across the magic 2020. So heave. Let's go. Claps. Cheer on, Syed Shahabuddin!

PS: Bring your ears close to me. Look over your shoulders. I hope nobody islistening. You see, this is my 60th birthday. Of late I have not been keeping too well. Don't count me in for the 2020 party. That is one difference betweenthe patrician (Saiyid Hamid) and the plebian (your's truly, this reviewer).

Cultural diplomacy and conflict resolution at AMU

ALIGARH, April 21: A Extra Mural lecture entitled 'Cultural diplomacy and conflict resolution' was organized under the auspicious of Centre of West Asian Studies, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. In his welcome speech, Prof. Mohd. Gulrez, Chairman, Department of West Asian Studies, highlighted the activities of the centre. He emphasized that while in depth study of history, economy, polity and culture of a given state is vital to our understanding, new factors like economic, diplomacy, trade, new regionalism, decline of UN, rising tide of ethnicity and terrorism have added new dimension to our studies in the centre. He welcomed the gust speakers, which include Maulana Dr. Kalbe Sadiq, and H.E. Ambasador Bal Anand and tanked them for choosing the topic for the discussion of such vital importance.

Speaking on the topic of 'Cultural Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution' H.E The Ambassador Bal Anand (former Ambassador & Diplomat to Armenia, Saudi Arabia, Romania, New Zealand and Nicaragua Aramenia) said that the impact of culture on the conduct of modern diplomacy is unquestionable. Culture is a powerful instrument in the hands of diplomats to pursue national interest in an un intrusive, intelligent, convincing and cost-effective manner. Culture is utilized actively in bilateral and multilateral diplomacy to foster intercultural understanding and meaningful dialogue between nations. He was, however of the opinion that it is also a tool of conflict resolution and comes under the domain of public diplomacy. To him Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was a good architect of cultural diplomacy because of his own understanding of the world culture and civilization. During his talk he further reiterated the establishment of Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ACCR) and Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) is the result of this forward looking outlook of our visionary leaders. He emphasized that this is the tool, diplomats and peoples representative at large should understand and apply in their day to day dealings. In the age of globalization, Nations like Russia should realize that they are more needed today and they have to play more positive role. He mentioned that he is very pleased to visit the Centre of West Asian Studies, its academic profile and research activities.

The second speaker, Prominent Muslim Scholar and Vice president of Muslim Personal law Board, Maulana Dr. Kalbe Sadiq asked the scholars and students that nations and Individuals are recognized by their cultures and deeds and not alone by their religions. One has to be judicious to be respected. He said that he is very impressed to be here and will visit again to consult its library.

Prof Memoodul Haq, Former Dean, Faculty of Social Science in his presidential remarks emphasized that studies of Culture should be taken up in a more broader context as it is through this peoples participation in civic and political life is refined and reflected.

poems by Aziz Bano Daraab Wafa on 19th April 2009. Aziz Bano Wafa was
a prominent front row Urdu poetess and was heard with love and

detail about Daraab Wafa - her life, family and Haveli. Professor
Zahida Zaidi spoke about her friendship and some excerpts of all her
meetings. Prof Shafey Kidwai told about the poetry, philosophy and
life of that great Urdu poetess. Prof AMK Shahryar after releasing the
book recited few couplets of her poem in his own style.

Mr. Moinudddin Alavi thanked the family members of Daraab Wafa
particularly her brother Professor Azizuddin Tariq, for giving him a
chance to edit a collection of her poems in a book form. Professor
Azizuddin Tariq touched some personal family life account of Daraab
Wafa. He also gifted a book – Kulliyate Azizi of her great grandfather
Khwaja Azizuddin Aziz Lucknowi to the Library of Ibn Sina Academy.
