Punjabi is a centuries-old language with a variety of mutually understandable accents. It is mostly spoken in Pakistan's Punjab province and India's Punjab province on the subcontinent. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. Pakistan is a multiethnic and multilingual region, with Punjabi being the mother tongue of 39 percent of Pakistan's population. Despite being the majority's native language in Punjab, the Punjabi language has only minor articulation in the lives of its native speakers. It is not permitted in educational or government settings, and it is not used there. Where it comes to the intergenerational transmission of Punjabi language, educated parents tend to communicate with their children in Urdu rather than Punjabi. Its meaning has dwindled over time, owing primarily to the speakers' social attitudes. The Punjabi speakers have a negative, if not insulting, stance toward their mother tongue. This is particularly true in Punjab's urban areas, where people are abandoning Punjabi in favor of Urdu in their daily lives (Rahman 2002). This paper aims to explore various attitudes of Punjabi people towards Punjabi language, such as why they don't prioritize speaking Punjabi and whether they really believe it is a foul language. Punjabi is a language that belongs to a certain community. To explore this phenomenon, an online survey research was conducted.Item BULLYING ACROSS TEENAGERS(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2021) Mamoora Shakeel; FA17-BDE-027; LHR TP 7102; Hira NadeemBullying is the point at which somebody is being harmed either by words or activities intentionally or accidentally, generally more than once.

Youth being the active participants, open to a lot of information and interpretation have the power to act and raise their voice against what’s necessary. The life we are leading today is completely dependent on technology which has steered us away from our connection with nature leading to our youth being disengaged from natural environment with a decreased sense to protect or interact with nature. The aim of this study was to determine the current status of youth’s connection to the rythyms of the earth (quantative through surveys) , the impact of disconnection as well as study nature connectedness and its importance from a scientific, mystical, clinical and cosmological point of view (qualitative).

As one of the most disputed topics in development circles today, the position of women in a Secular caliphate and the religious importance Islam has placed on a woman are both problems that provoke great debate. Because Pakistan is a liberal and Islamic state, there are unique difficulties when it comes to women's rights. This study aims to set the record straight by demonstrating that ‘Islam' as a religion does not have a negative impact on the advancement of women and their contributions to an Islamic society and to highlight the issue that people interpret their own understanding of religion into shariah which causes so many misconceptions about Islam, and we are blindly following them. The analysis of the study is based on the primary data from a survey (quantitative) conducted within the Pakistani audience and from various books and articles used Al-Quran with its tarjama as a reference. The results show that people ‘s perception about Islam is the result of lack of knowledge and awareness about true Islamic teachings as mentioned by Quran and Hadees and the misinterpretations of religion created by our doctrines for their own benefits. The knowledge about Islamic teachings is strengthened by making people aware of the women’s role and significance as described in Islam and by making them understand that Islam, in no way disregards the importance of women. Also, to depict the consequences that we are facing as an Islamic state by not following the true teachings of Islam. At the end of the day, it has been shown that Islam as a faith promotes and encourages women's rights, but our societal norms, habits, and ancient traditions which are derived from other faiths, and ignorance about the real teachings of Islam have caused women to be vulnerable today.Item Excessive use of techno(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2021) Areeb Siddi; FA17-BDE-014; LHR TP 7097; Hira NadeemThis project aims to discuss technology addiction and its consequences on the life of an individual and its surroundings.
