Pakistan Studies, Islamiyat and Urdu: Post your doubts here!

[zainenayab]

Hey, tis only my first year doin pakstudies and i'm still a bit confused about the format,
can anyone pleaaase give me bulletpoints on how to answer the following questions? I need it urgently, thanks!

Q) How important was the development of regional languages to Pakistan between 1947 to 1988? (14)

and

Q) The reasons for the partition of Bengal were more important than the reasons for its reversal. Do you agree? Explain. (14)

first ques:
u have to describe how all the regional languages were promoted between these years along with the imporatance of those developments like it was important to promote pushto bcz it was declining before partition and in the same way u have to write the imporatance of promoting other languages ,then u ll also have to descibe the development of urdu and in the end u ll have to make the judgement whether urdu was developed more or other regional languages.Here is marking scheme of this question:
Explains the importance of several regional languages and may state the
case of Urdu. Also produces a judgement or evaluation.
Punjabi is the regional language of the Punjab. The Government have ensured its development
by giving support to those institutions who are using it. They have also taken steps to promote
the Sindhi language by establishing the Sindhi Literary Board in 1948 which has printed many
books and magazines in the language. The Baluchi language has also been promoted by
its broadcasting on the radio. The establishment of the Quetta Television Station has also
helped to promote it. Pushto literature was boosted after Independence since the poets had
contributed a great deal to the freedom struggle. However the promotion of regional languages
has not been as important as that of Urdu. It carries immense importance for all Pakistanis
since it has been considered to be the language of all Muslims for 300 years. It was the
language associated with the Pakistani Movement throughout its struggle with the British and
the Hindus. After Independence it was felt that the language was the uniting force behind the
nation and the government is committed to using at all levels in society.

second ques:
first u have to describe the reasons of partition
_administrative reasons (Bengal was the largest province so to govern it efficiently british divided it)
_to control hindus by dividing them so that they cannot protest against hindus
_British wanted to give good position to muslims because of their improved relations with muslims

then u have to describe the reasons behind reversal
_hindus uprising
_swadeshi movement
_an assassination attempt on minto
after describing these reasons u have to make a judgement whether reasons of parition were important or the reasons for reversal with some supportive statements..

as far as essay is concerned, yes marks are penalized for writing above the limit, and cutting in translation does not account for penalization

So, how many marks do you think I'll lose for overwriting? :x

 

[ehsangul]

The syllabus specifies that the candidates are to write about 150 words in Urdu.
Examiners are to read up to 200 words and ignore any further writing.
If one bullet point is not covered at all, then the maximum mark for language is 7out of 9, while the other 6 marks will be given for content

Urdu 'B' is usually an easy A*.

 

[mamoon123]

95/115 in Urdu B. What grade do you guys think this is?

 

[zainenayab]

95/115 in Urdu B. What grade do you guys think this is?

firstly the total marks of urdu B are 110 not 115 ......the grade will be A....but the grades depend on the threshhold....

 

[mamoon123]

110? But isn't paper 2 worth 60 marks?
