Most of the candidates got low score in this subject. With all preparation and ornamentation in papers efforts seems to be futile. But i've seen large num of candidates opted this subject. People have scored 129 this year -the highest. So in order to gain highest marks start analysing emperor's works. Start it with Muhammed bin qasim. Share each and every thing which you have in mind. One thing this should be your own genuine ideas . Like CA dìscussion we have to discuss this subject. This subject part 2 is PA AND CA of our compulsory subjects. So my question starts from Qasim , what are the motives of UMMAYAD empire to conquer Hindustan?

اس سال بہت سے لوگوں نے اس کو *opt* کیا ‎.تو اس پر اگر تبصرہ ہو جاے تو آپ کی تجزیہ بہترین ھو جاے گا.سو آپ اپنی آرء کو پوسٹ کرےیں؛.

Bringing it under discussion is a good idea for good marks in future attempts.

Well, I do not know much about Ummayad Caliphate and Muhammad Bin Qasim, but the little I know is shared as follows:

Muhhamad Bin Qasim (c 31 December 695–18 July 715)

Muhammad Bin Qasim was a Ummarayd general. He is prominent in Muslim history for his conquest of Sindh and West Punjab on the part of the Ummayads. He was born in Taif ( today's Saudi Arabia). He was brought up by his mother alone as his father died when he was too young. At the age of 17, it was with the help of Muhammad Bin Qasim that Muslim rule took place in Indian continent. He took the trainings of governance and warfare from his patenal uncle Hajjab Bin Yousif who was the then governor of Ummayad caliphate. Muhammad Bin Qasim was appointed as the governor of Persia under his patronage. He was an excellent administrator. He was sent back to the center by its own caliphate as the result of a political gimmick. He died at the age of twenty. Historians believe that had he ruled over the continent few years more he would have conquered the whole South Asian region.

Muhammad Bin Qasim and the Islamic rule in the Indian continent

Ummayad came in Sindh first.
There were many reasons why the Ummayad took interest in Sindh, but immediate causes of the conquest was the plunder of the gifts of Ceylon’s ruler to Hijjaj and attack on ships of Arab that carried the families of Muslim soldiers who died in Jihaad against Africa. These Arab were imprisoned later on by the Governor Deebal Partaab Raye. A letter written by an escaped girl from the arab put in the prison of the Partab Raye reached Hajjaj Bin Yousif. She asked Hajjab Bin Yousif for help. When Hijjaj asked Dahir for release of prisoners and compensation, the later refused on the ground that he had no control over those. Hajjaj sent Muhammad Bin Qasim for this great expedition in 711 A.D.
It was during this time when Spain and many parts of Africa and Central Asia were brought under the Muslim rule and war continued and Muslims were not in position to start a new expedition. The only reason of this conquest was to rescue pilgrims that were taken captive by Hindu governor.


This is just little I have studied a little earlier. Please correct me if I am wrong. There is still a whole long story ahead germane to the same which I am sure will follow under this thread as others participate. It is certainly going to be interesting.

Regards

you seems to be very energetic .you displayed a good picture . I am impressed by the way you're contributing.

First thing which i observed is you choose descriptive style of writing. If you choose that style then it needs coherence and details. in papers we can't mention details. So in order to have points we need to explain points. That point will remain in our mind.

Point of focus..

Qasim life first expedition. (at the age of 15) his administration in persia. Reform which he undertook in persia. His two year of rule should be very important . So point out them.

3. Compare Qasim with Qatiba bin Muslim , Tariq bin ziyaad ,Mussa bin Nasseer.
4. Demise of these three had same tragic fate i.e mussa had to beg for one dirham. Qatiba was decemated. Qasim was emprisoned.
5. hujjaj as a ruler

Azzegum you are awesome person. I must appreciate your efforts. You are learner. Do not compare your material with else one . You can take position. hold on your work. your expression is not bookish .

Thanks for praising me in superlative terms. I will sure read Qatiba bin Muslim, Tarique Bin Zeyad and Mussa Bin Naseer and come up with a detailed comparison. I read a little earlier Hajjaj as a ruler. The funny thing was when I studied right in the start that he was a controversial governor I thought I will put it off till I complete Muhammad Bin Qasim. It tickled interest in me but I am going to read it now. You'll hear from me soon on the same.
Thanks Sadia

Without Hujjaj ummayad sultanate could nt b founded. So do not skip it. You can compare Hujjaj Abdullah saffah of abbssaid dynasty. He was first ruler of baghdad. Hujaja slained Hazrat Adullah bin zubair, threw stones on Khana ae kaba. I'll update u further coz it wl mix different things. I appreciate coz u deserve it..what are your optionals?

Alright! I'm looking forward to your updates. Well I am not going to attempt CSS 2012 this year. So I'm in a bit of mix-up about one or two optional objects. I was less interested in Indo-Pak history but I might consider to opt it now.

Dear Sister, Sadia, your effort to boost our morale for the Indo-Pak is laudable; in fact at the time of announcement of the result of CE-2011, I was also considering to opt some other subject.
There are few points I want to add, for better preparation,


There are some questions like, Arabs conquest of Sindh merely episode, Motives and nature of Ghazna's attacks, Iltutmish real founder, Balban's Kingship theory, M. Bin Tughlaq mixture of oppoistes, Akbar's Din Ilahi, etc..
These need a proper answer, like a small intro about the ruler, causes, impacts, features, merits-demerits, milestones, blunders, analysis and conclusions
When I opted this subject I was much impressed by Noor-ul-Ain Fatima the topper of CE-2008, and she stressed for quotations
To me, quotations of some prominent contemporary historians of that age like, Ibn-e-Batuta, al-Beruni, Minhaj Siraj, etc plus there works can get us good marks
For Mughal Period, especially of Akbar's, Muslim, Hindu and English historians may be mentioned like, I.H. Qureshi, S.M. Ikram, Tripathi, Ishwari Prasad, Qanungo,Lane Pole,Elphinstone, Havell, Mooreland and Smith can be used... to some it may be difficult, the easy way is to get there ideas and quote them
In addition some of the recent research can be quoted like that of Iqtidar Alam and Irfan Habib's
I know some of my brothers and sisters may be having Bhattis or K. Ali, If aspirants are wishing to opt IndoPak for CE-2013, I would recommend them to buy Mughal Rule in India by V.D. Mahajan for Mughal era
Last but not the least, we have to be specific about what has been asked, if question has been asked about character skecth of Aurangzeb we have to give equal share to his qualities and have to write about merits-demerits and opinions of the historians regarding Aurangzeb - tolerance, bigotry, bravery, just ruler, literati, lacking trust, as a general etc
Still, the short cut can be to fully prepare the questions of last three years i.e of 2009, 2010 and 2011
May Alimghty Allah helps all of us in getting good marks in this subject

your points are good which i have lighted in green and am not agreed which is highlighted in red.

1. Noor ul Ain made her own way .we should because paper -setter and checker have different requirements which can be analysed by DMCz,question papers,marking trends and demand.

2.Now- a -days examiner do not demand quotes .this is not true for IPH but for all paper.To me avarage 20 quotes of whole paper are far enough to fatch good marks. i hav`nt mentioned a single quote or might be one or two .so average 2-3 or even one quote will be considered as a extra ordinary paper.

3. first question should prolonged 26 pages or equal to 26.but again it is necessary to write some extra detailed which are ir-relvant to question,first question should be suprb

4.you have mentioned writer names .I will search for them and update here too.as far as book is concerned that would be good but here aspirants have no such time to give that book. new ones should have this book.thanx for increasing my knowledge

5. Again , i will say it is your paper not extra datails which can fatch good marks.you people have knowledge .no matter how much but matter how it is presented. paper should have one approach like your interviews.they check your satnce .for example i only took a stance about Qasim that his entry is not epi-sodic .then i proved it. 4 pages question only gave me 12 or more then of it. so prepare it with arguments .if u look at question and paper then it will proved thay have asked for your arguments only
