Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and iconic elements of regional art. Evidence of pottery has been found in the early settlements of Mehrgarh from the Indus Valley Civilisation. Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced in India and Pakistan -though not such extensively as the modernization of living customs as effected this sector most.
This form of art is generally used nowadays to decorate the drawing or the living rooms where many of the articles of this craft are used extensively.
Few of the professionals from Karachi, Hala, Multan and other cities are of great skill and are so proficient that their workmanship is liked abroad as well and they export their product abroad which is a plus for this industry.
Multan, November 21, 2019: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission Director Julie Koenen signed a tripartite MoU with Mundri Sheep Breeders Welfare Society and DG Khan Chamber of Commerce and Industry to formally launch the second phase of the Women Empowerment in South Punjab through Investment in Rural Economy (WEinSPIRE) during a three-day trip to Multan and Bahawalpur.
“The enterprising women of South Punjab, who have previously made WEinSPIRE successful in Bahawalpur have set an example for the resilient women of DG Khan. I am confident that with the support of our partners, the dynamic women entrepreneurs from DG Khan will become successful livestock farmers – contributing to their families, communities and the country,” said Mission Director Koenen.
Advisor to Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Ahmed Ali Khan Dareshak received the U.S. delegation highlighting the U.S.-Pakistan partnership and the potential that this program represents for women farmers in south Punjab.
WEinSPIRE is an initiative by the USAID’s Punjab Enabling Environment Project (PEEP) to support women livestock farmers that will be implemented over the next year. WEinSPIRE Bahawalpur trained 2,000 women in animal husbandry best practices, and provided loans through micro-finance institutions to over 35,000 women livestock farmers to start or expand their businesses.

AGAHI to address the gaps in media ethics and reporting on investigative journalism on terrorism financing, socio-economic issues, new media, anti-money laundering and safety training
Mishal Pakistan, a strategic communication policy design social enterprise in collaboration with the Center for International Media Ethics, Zigron Training, Center for Investigative Journalists in Bosnia-Sarajevo, Naya Jeevan launched “Agahi’’, an initiative which will increase the capacity of Investigative Journalism and Responsible Reporting at the Multan Press Club.
The programme covered areas such as; Investigative Journalism and Ethics, Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Organisation Funding, Journalism and Society “Millennium Development Goals’’, Reporting in Terrorism and Conflict, Social Media, Journalism and Safety Training. The sessions were designed to be interactive with the audience to improve the understanding related to investigative journalism and responsible reporting.
Agahi, aims to utilize institutionalized, sustainable media structures in Pakistan to raise the bar of journalistic standards through training to increasing responsible, balanced reporting and investigative journalism said Puruesh Chaudhary, CIME Ambassador to Pakistan and the Chief Strategy Officer to the project.
The session in Multan underscored the need for a joint code of conduct to agree upon basic guidelines for reporters and cameramen. Journalists proactively discussed the issues they face as the threats remain real. Journalists not only fear for their own safety but for the safety of their families and relatives as well. The basic problems highlighted were lack of training, non-supportive managements, little or no backup by editorial teams, unavailability of basic resources, pressure groups (criminal and commercial), and absence of a unified code of conduct.
Mishal Pakistan and Multan Press Club, signed a memorandum of understanding on capacity building and training initiatives earlier this year. The MoU envisages empowering the media by capacity building initiatives for the members of the Multan Press Club by creating learning platform through interactive workshops, seminars and courses in specific sectors.
The initiative is being carried in collaboration with the Press Clubs in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa and Azad Jammu and Kashmir; in the series of interactions with the stakeholders a special Journalism Awards is being created to identify the most respectful and responsible journalists in investigative journalism said Amir Jahangir, Chief Executive Officer Mishal Pakistan.
Teresa Allen, representative for CIME joining the Multan Press Club journalists from California via video conference stressed on the need for continuous educational programmes for journalists in the field and the formulation of an Ethics Policy for the entire journalistic community.
Osama Bin Javaid, News Editor with DAWNNEWS highlighted that every day social issues that impact the community should be part of the news content. He further identified that the millennium development goals (MDGs) as the best tool that flags significance content development to Pakistan. The journalists discussed best practices for issues such as gender/social discrimination, health, education etc. The MDGs provide areas and in those areas specific entities to be investigated.
Asaf Akhtar, an expert in financial sector specializing in frauds and anti-money laundering gave firsthand knowledge on Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Organisation Funding techniques and methodologies while giving references to the abduction of Daniel Pearl, the cases of transactions through non-banking channels such hundi and the case of NICL.
The session on Investigative Journalism and Responsible Reporting dealt with the problem being faced by journalists in far-flung conflict areas that are not major cities and where the dynamics of investigation and threats are different. Pakistan remains the most dangerous place on earth for journalists. Dr. Kamran Akmal, representing Naya Jeevan a not-for-profit organization facilitating micro-healthcare instruments encouraged journalists to take precautionary measures while covering incidents and briefed them about basic life support.
The Agahi initiative plans to engage the journalists from other parts of the country as well and it will build the capacity of the press clubs and its members to undertake initiatives on investigative journalism for responsible reporting in Pakistan.

Multan City History
Multan is a city in south central Punjab province. It is built just east of the Chenab River. About 966 km from Karachi and more or less right in the center of the country lie the ancient city of Multan. Multan, the 'City of Pirs and Shrines' is a prosperous city of bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly designed tombs.
A circular road around the rampart gave access to the city through thirteen gates. Some of the imposing structures of these gates are still preserved. In the bazaars of the Old City one still comes across tiny shops where craftsmen can be seen busy turning out master-pieces in copper, brass, silver as well as textiles in the traditional fashion.
The old city has narrow colorful bazaars full of local handicrafts and narrow winding lanes. There are many places of historical, cultural and recreational interest in the city.
Multan is a commercial and industrial center, it is connected by road a rail with Lahore and Karachi and by air with Karachi, Quetta, and Faisalabad. Industries include fertilizer, soap, and glass factories; foundries; cotton, woolen and silk textile mills; flour, sugar and oil mills; and a large thermal-power station. It is famous for its handicrafts (ceramics and camel-skin work) and cottage industries. There are hospitals, public gardens, and several colleges affiliated with the University of the Punjab. The University of Multan was established in 1975. Large, irregular suburbs have grown outside the old walled town, and two satellite towns have been set up. The numerous shrines within the old city offer impressive examples of workmanship and architecture.

"When a man sees his end he wants to know that there has been some purpose to his life." That line, delivered by the late actor Richard Harris in his role as Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the movie Gladiator, seems almost to define the Brian Lara we are seeing now in Pakistan.
It isn't just the runs, although any innings of substance from him is a sight to behold. His demolition of the potentially lethal Danish Kaneria, firstly in Lahore and now in Multan, are just a continuation of what he did to the legspinner in the Caribbean last year, although it is no less enjoyable to see such a champion daring to touch the heights of perfection in his quest for dominance over a respected opponent.
And it is not merely a parochial sort of enjoyment, restricted to West Indians, fiercely loyal Trinis and the die-hard brethren up in the gloriously lush surroundings of Cantaro. The fan who held up a placard nearing the end of the third day's play, advising that he had come from Saudi Arabia to see Lara at his best is the personification of that pure appreciation of a maestro at the height of his game.
No doubt he and most of the spectators at the Multan Cricket Stadium would like to see the home team do well, but in the same way that Caribbean fans down the years have surged through the gates to see the visiting champions in full flow, while at the same time willing their team to victory, Lara's batsmanship is an experience that transcends the petty boundaries of nationalism and it would have left them with an empty feeling had he completed his final tour of Pakistan without leaving a lasting impression.
His last two innings have put those fears to rest, but it is the combination of serenity and paternalism that have offered a different complexion to his leadership - as captain and premier batsman - in this series. As always, it is a perilous exercise to read too much into what is picked up off the television screen or gleaned from interviews, but Lara's overall demeanour seems to be that of a man increasingly at peace with himself and ever more comfortable with the role as mentor and father figure in the last years of a long and outstanding career.
From turning his back on Dwayne Bravo after his careless dismissal on the opening day of the series to constantly cajoling, advising and even openly coaching him during the course of a record-breaking fifth-wicket partnership yesterday, Lara is looking way beyond his own personal ambitions, even though he still has new frontiers to conquer.
There may be a collective responsibility in making the decision, but it is almost beyond question that the dropping of Ramnaresh Sarwan for this second Test was primarily a move by Lara to send a clear and equivocal message to his heir apparent that he cannot continue to play fast and loose with such abundant talent and expect to escape unscathed.
Maybe it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black, given that when Lara was 26 years old, as Sarwan is now, he was in the throes of arguably his most turbulent year in the game, a period that included walking out on the squad during the tour of England, choosing at the very last minute not to tour Australia and then issuing a public front-page apology in a local newspaper for his conduct at the end of the 1996 World Cup campaign on the Indian subcontinent.
But only a fool allows others to commit the same mistakes that he has, and while it can be argued that he is only selfishly trying to polish up his image for the sake of posterity, it is more productive to welcome Lara's approach in his third term as captain as better late than never, and as a chance to belatedly instill the lessons that he would have benefited from in earlier days. One of those lessons is that cricket has given him more opportunities in life than he could have ever dreamed of, and that it is up to the likes of Sarwan and others to make the most of chances they would never have gotten otherwise.
Far from ruining his life (he has since conceded that the comment made in 1995 was ill-advised and came in the midst of his own inability to cope with the fame and fortune of his world record feats), cricket has been his saviour, and really his only fear now is to be remembered as an outrageously gifted man who disrespected the game and used it for his own ends.
That is probably why Lara's batting milestones so far in this series have been acknowledged, not with exuberance and clenched fists, but with an almost polite reluctance, as if to say his achievement is just a piece of a much bigger picture. There have been, so far, no fiery verbal confrontations, just a quiet serenity that breaks into the occasional smile, whether touching gloves in mid-pitch or smashing another six over long on.
Age does indeed bring wisdom, and it is up to Lara's younger teammates to absorb all that they can from this seasoned gladiator, even as he continues to delight us all by the manner in which he wields his scything blade .

Haveli is generic term used for a traditional townhouse and mansions in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh usually one with historical and architectural significance. The word haveli is derived from Arabic haveli, meaning "an enclosed place" or "private space" popularised under Mughal Empire and was devoid of any architectural affiliations. Later, the word haveli came to be used as generic term for various styles of regional mansions, townhouse and temples found in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangaldesh.
HISTORY
The traditional courtyard homes in South Asia is built on the ancient principles of Vastu Shastra. which state that all spaces emerge from a single point, that is the centre of the house. Courtyards are common feature in south asian architecture. The earliest archaeological evidence of courtyard homes in the region dates back to 2600–2450 BCE. Traditional homes in South Asia are built around courtyard and all family activities revolved around chowk or courtyard. Additionally, the courtyard serves as a light well and an effective ventilation strategy for hot and dry climates of South Asia. During medieval period, the term Haveli was first applied in Rajputana by the Vaishnava sect to refer to their temples in Gujarat under the Mughal Empire and Rajputana kingdoms. Later, the generic term haveli eventually came to be identified with townhouse and mansions of the merchant class.
CHARACTERISTIC
Socio-Cultural Aspects: The chowk or courtyard served as the centre for various ceremonies and the rituals. The sacred tulsi plant was placed here and worshipped daily to bring prosperity to the house.
Security and Privacy: The chowk, at times, separated areas for men and women, and provided them with privacy.
Climate: Treating open space in building design to respond to the local climate. Air movement caused by temperature differences is utilized in the natural ventilation of building.
Different Activities At Different Times: The use of the court in the day time, mostly by women to carry out their work, interact with other women in private open space. Mansions of merchant class had more than one courtyard.
Articulation Of Space: In Mor chowk, City Palace, Udaipur, there is the concept of courtyard as a dancing hall. Similarly, in havelis, a courtyard has several functions, commonly used for weddings and festive occasions.
Materials : Fired bricks, sandstone, marble, wood, plaster and granite are commonly used materials. Decorative aspects are influenced by local culture and traditions.
All these elements join to form an enclosure and give the chowk a composed secured feel. The architectural built form of havelis has evolved in response to the climate, lifestyle and availability of material. In hot climates where cooling is a necessity, buildings with internal courtyards were considered the most appropriate. It acted as a perfect shading technique, while also allowing light inside. The arcade along the court, or the high wall around it, kept the interiors cool.
Many of the havelis of India and Pakistan were influenced by Rajasthani architecture. They usually contain a courtyard often with a fountain in the centre. The old cities of Agra, Lucknow and Delhi in India and Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Hyderabad in Pakistan have many fine examples of Rajasthani-style havelis.
FAMOUS HAVELIS IN INDIA
The term Haveli was first applied in Rajputana by the Vaishnava sect to refer to their temples in Gujarat. In the northern part of India. havelis for Lord Krishna are prevalent with huge mansion like constructions. The havelis are noted for their frescoes depicting images of gods, goddesses, animals, scenes from the British colonization, and the life stories of Lords Rama and Krishna. The music here was known as Haveli Sangeet.
Later on these temple architectures and frescoes were imitated while building huge individual mansions and now the word is popularly recognized with the mansions themselves. Between 1830 and 1930, Marwari's erected buildings in their homeland, Shekhawati and Marwar. These buildings were called havelis. The Marwaris commissioned artists to paint those buildings which were heavily influenced by the Mughal architecture.
The havelis were status symbols for the Marwaris as well as homes for their extended families, providing security and comfort in seclusion from the outside world. The havelis were to be closed from all sides with one large main gate.
The typical havelis in Shekhawati consisted of two courtyards - an outer one for the men which serves as an extended threshold, and the inner one, the domain of the women. The largest havelis could have up to three or four courtyards and were two to three stories high. Most of the havelis are empty nowadays or are maintained by a watchman (typically an old man). While many others have been converted into hotels and places of tourist attraction.

The havelis in and around Jaisalmer Fort(also known as the Golden Fort), situated in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, of which the three most impressive are Patwon Ki Haveli, Salim Singh Ki Haveli, and Nathmal-Ki Haveli, deserve special mention. These were the elaborate homes of Jaisalmer's rich merchants. The ostentatious carvings etched out in sandstone with infinite detail and then painstakingly pieced together in different patterns each more lavish than the next were commissioned to put on show the owner's status and wealth. Around Jaisalmer, they are typically carved from yellow sandstone. They are often characterized by wall paintings, frescoes, jharokhas (balconies) and archways.
The Patwon Ji ki Haveli is the most important and the largest haveli, as it was the first erected in Jaisalmer. It is not a single haveli but a cluster of 5 small havelis. The first in the row is also the most popular, and is also known as Kothari's Patwa Haveli. The first among these was commissioned and constructed in the year 1805 by Guman Chand Patwa, then a rich trader of jewellery and fine brocades, and is the biggest and the most ostentatious. Patwa was a rich man and a renowned trader of his time and he could afford and thus order the construction of separate stories for each of his 5 sons. These were completed in the span of 50 years. All five houses were constructed in the first 60 years of the 19th century. Patwon Ji Ki is renowned for its ornate wall paintings, intricate yellow sandstone-carved jharokhas (balconies), gateways and archways. Although the building itself is made from yellow sandstone, the main gateway is brown.

The tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam was built between 1320 and 1324, is an unmatched pre-Moghul masterpiece. The Mausoleum of Rukn-i-Alam could possibly be considered as the glory of Multan.
From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. This dome is the Shrine of the saint. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. This elegant building is an octagon, 51 feet 9 inches in diameter internally, with walls 41 feet 4 inches high and 13 feet 3 inches thick, supported at the angles by sloping towers. Over this is a smaller octagon 25 feet 8 inches, on the exterior side, and 26 feet 10 inches high, leaving a narrow passage all round the top of the lower story for the Moazzan, or public caller to prayers. The whole is surmounted by a hemispherical dome of 58 feet external diameter. The total height of the building, including a plinth of 3 feet, is 100 feet. As it stands on the high ground, the total height above the road level is 150 feet.
Besides its religious importance, the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world, after Gol Gumbaz of Bijapur, India, which is the largest.[citation needed] The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.
The tomb was said to have been built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r. 1320-1325) for himself during the days of his governorship of Depalpur, between 1320 and 1324 AD, but was given by his son, Muhammad bin Tughluq to the descendents of Shah Rukn-e-Alam for the latter’s burial in 1330.
The mausoleum of Rukn-e-Alam has been admired by not only the travelers and chroniclers but also by the art-historians and archaeologist who wrote the architectural history of the subcontinent.
In the 1970s the mausoleum was thoroughly repaired and renovated by the Auqaf Department of the Punjab Government. The entire glittering glazed interior is the result of new tiles and brickwork done by the Kashigars of Multan.
Multan is known as the 'City of Saints'. The city is full of bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly designed tombs. A network of rails, highways and air flights has well connected Multan to the rest of the world.
Hazrat Peer Bahauddin Zakriya shrine. Inside the actually Muslim Sufi shrines, you can see obvious Hindu-style swags and flower decorations. Some shrines are frequented by Muslims and Hindus alike.
تاریخ کو اپنے وجود سے شرمندہ کرتا ہوا یہ قدیم شہر ملتان کے نام سے جانا اور پہچانا جاتا ہے ۔کرشن اور جمباوتی کی منتوں مرادوں سے مانگی ہوئی اولاد سامبا نے سورج کے دیوتا کے لیے شہر کے بیچو بیچ جو مندر تعمیر کروایا تھا اسی نسبت سے شہر کو مول استھان پکارا جانے لگا۔ جو مولتان سے ملتان ہو گیا۔ خارجی دروازوں سے منسلک فصیل نے شہر کے اندرون کو ماں کے دامن کی طرح صدیوں سے سمیٹا ہوا تھا کہ بالائی پنجاب کے راجہ رنجیت سنگھ کے حملے نے اسے بکھیر کر رکھ دیا۔ ملتان اپنے ہی دروازوں سے باہر آ گیا۔ چناب کے کناروں نے فاصلہ کر لیا۔ یوں وہ شہر جہاں سے پورے ہندوستان میں ہولی کا تہوار شروع ہوا تھا پھیکا پڑتا گیا۔
گو اندرون شہر میں وقت کے بھاری وجود سے دبی کہنہ عمارتیں اب بھی گزری عظمتوں کا پتہ دیتی ہیں۔ لیکن یہاں پر بسنے والے لوگوں کی آنکھوں میں سفر کی تھکان دکھائی دینے لگ پڑی ہے۔ دور جدید کے تقاضوں نے ان کو اسی شہر میں ہی اجنبی کر دیا ہے جس کو ان کے آباؤ اجداد نے کئی قرن آباد رکھا۔ اب پرانے شہر سے ان کو صرف وسائل کی کمی نے باندھ رکھا ہے وگرنہ یہ لوگ بھی کھیتوں کو تیاگ کر تعمیر کیے جانے والی ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹیز میں منتقل ہو چکے ہوتے۔
