ریاضؔ حسین چودھری

ریاضؔ حسین چودھری( ۱۹۴۱ء،پ)کا اصل نام محمد ریاض حسین ہے۔ آپ محلہ خراساں مسلم بازار سیالکوٹ میں پیدا ہوئے ۔گورنمنٹ مرے کالج سے بی۔ا ے کیا۔ایل ایل بی اور ایم۔ اے اردو پنجاب یونیورسٹی سے کیا۔ آپ چھٹی کے طالب علم تھے جب آپ نے شعر و شاعری کا آغاز کیا۔(۱۰۱۱)شاعری میں ابتدائی رہنمائی آسی ضیائی رامپوری سے لی۔ آپ نے آغا صادق کے سامنے بھی زانوئے تلمذ طے کیے۔ ۱۹۵۹ء میں آپ نے بچوں کے لیے ایک نظم لکھی جو ماہنامہ ’’پھلواری‘‘ میں شائع ہوئی۔ ابتدا میں آپ نے نظم اور غزل میں شاعری کی لیکن نعتیہ شاعری ان کی پہچان ہے۔ ان کی پہلی نعت، ہفت روزہ ’’قندیل‘‘ لاہور میں شائع ہوئی۔ سید آفتاب احمد نقوی کی ترغیب پر ریاض حسین چودھری کا رجحان نعت کی طرف بڑھا پھر ایک وقت ایسا آیا کہ آپ نے اپنے آپ کو صرف نعت کے لیے وقف کر دیا ۔ بہترین نعت گو شاعر ہونے کی وجہ سے ۲۰۰۰ء میں آپ کو صدارتی ایوارڈ سے بھی نوازا گیا۔(۱۰۱۲)

ریاضؔ حسین چودھری کا پہلا شعری مجموعہ ’’خونِ رگِ جاں‘‘ ہے۔ جو ملی نظموں پر مشتمل ہے۔ جو ۱۹۷۰ء میں شائع ہوا۔ دوسرا شعری مجموعہ زرِ معتبر ‘‘ نعتوں پر مشتمل ہے۔ یہ پہلی بار ۱۹۹۵ء میں اور دوسری بار۲۰۰۰ء میں شائع ہوا۔ یہ مجموعہ دو سو اٹھاسی صفحات پر مشتمل ہے۔حفیظ تائب نے اس کتاب کی نعتیہ شاعری کا تنقیدی جائزہ لیا ہے۔ ریاض حسین چودھری نے ’’تحدیث نعمت‘‘ کے عنوان سے اس کتاب پر تعارفی مضمون لکھا ہے۔ اس مجموعے کا فلیپ احمد ندیم قاسمی نے لکھا ہے۔ جس میں زرِ معتبر کی نعتیہ شاعری پر تبصرہ کیا گیا ہے۔ تیسرا شعری مجموعہ ’’رزقِ ثنا‘‘ہے جو پہلی بار ۱۹۹۹ء میں شائع ہوا۔ اور دوسری بار ۲۰۰۰ء میں شائع ہوا۔ اس نعتیہ مجموعے پر انھیں صدارتی ایوارڈ ملا۔ ڈاکٹر خورشید رضوی اور حفیظ تائب نے اس کتاب...

Voices Unheard: Analyzing Marginalization and Resistance in Rabbani's 'Invisible People' through a Spivakian Lens

This scholarly research offers a comprehensive analysis of Rabbani's seminal work, 'Invisible People,' through the theoretical lens of Gayatri Chakraborty Spivak's postcolonial feminist perspective. The study investigates the experiences and challenges faced by marginalized populations in contemporary society, aiming to elucidate effective strategies for resistance against marginalization. Key focal points include Spivak's subaltern concept and the imperative of amplifying marginalized voices. The analysis critically examines Rabbani's portrayal of 'invisible people' (2017) as individuals bereft of agency and influence due to their marginalized status, exploring multiple forms of exclusion encompassing economic, social, and political dimensions. Moreover, the research delves into Rabbani's nuanced treatment of identity construction and the intricate intersections of marginalization. Applying Spivak's theory of strategic essentialism, the study scrutinizes how these individuals navigate their identities and mobilize collective resistance. Additionally, the research evaluates notions of agency and empowerment within Rabbani's narrative, investigating methodologies employed by marginalized groups to challenge entrenched power dynamics. Through Spivak's concept of "subaltern counter publics," the study examines the significance of grassroots movements, community organizing, and the establishment of alternative platforms for collective action. Ethical considerations within Spivak and Rabbani's frameworks are also addressed, highlighting the complexities and ethical responsibilities associated with representing marginalized populations. This research underscores the importance of reflexive researcher positionality when engaging with these narratives. Overall, this study provides a nuanced and insightful analysis of Rabbani's 'Invisible People' from a Spivakian perspective, contributing to the ongoing discourse on resistance, marginality, and social justice within this theoretical framework.

Comparison of Xpert Mtb/Rif With Histology for the Detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissues at Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi

Background: Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) continues to be a challenge due to the complexity of the causative organism and the wide array of pathologic features seen in this infection. A number of studies have shown polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for EPTB to be a feasible, sensitive and specific test for diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) of which, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has given recommendations. As pertains EPTB, Xpert MTB/RIF may be used in place of conventional tests such as microscopy, histopathology and culture in lymph nodes and other tissues from patients suspected to have EPTB. It has been demonstrated that Xpert MTB/RIF can be used for fresh or frozen tissues specimens with good results. However, the use of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues, a widely available and rich source of clinical material, on the Xpert platform is yet to be described. Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential utility of Xpert MTB/RIF in the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from FFPE tissues with histological features suggestive of tuberculosis. We compared Xpert MTB/RIF to histology for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from FFPE tissues. In those cases with a positive Xpert result, we determined the prevalence of rifampicin resistance in EPTB. Methods: Eighty randomly selected archived FFPE tissues exhibiting histological features suggestive of TB (necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, non-necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, chronic inflammation, necrotizing inflammation and suppurative inflammation) from January 1, though December 31, 2014 were retrieved. All the cases were subjected to microscopic evaluation of Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained and Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) slides. With prior deparaffinization and lysis, all cases were also subjected to the Xpert MTB/RIF assay. Only 79 cases were included in the final analysis. This was after exclusion of one case due to an error in the Xpert MTB/RIF assay. The outcome measures were proportions of positively identified cases by each test. The data were analysed using chi - square test. Results: Xpert MTB/RIF assay detected 32.9% more cases than microscopy (53.2% versus 20.3%) which was statistically significant, (p= 0.002). None of the cases tested positive for rifampicin resistance. Seven cases however, had an indeterminate rifampicin resistance result. Conclusion: With prior deparaffinization and lysis, FFPE tissues can also be subjected to the Xpert MTB/RIF assay. A validation study to determine the clinical utility of this assay for FFPE tissues is recommended.
