The Social and Political Life of a Relic: The Episode of the \u3ci\u3eMoi-e-Muqaddas\u3c/i\u3e Theft in Kashmir, 1963-1964

The present article is focused on the relationship between a sacred object: the moi-e-muqaddas (the Prophet’s hair), housed in the Hazratbal shrine in Kashmir, and the Kashmiri Muslim community. The relic, which was stolen from the shrine on 27 December 1963, lead to a massive protest in the Kashmir valley and in other parts of the subcontinent, as people demanded its immediate recovery. Such thefts, which have been reported from across the world and across centuries, point to the extreme value of the relics, and the additional value they generate when they are stolen. Similarly, the Hazratbal relic theft became a vehicle for reifying certain Kashmiri Muslim social and political sentiments. The incident also catapulted the issue of Kashmir’s political accession, which emerged in 1947 at the time of the partition of the subcontinent, to the forefront, alarming the Indian government. The Hazratbal relic episode is also reflective of the role of religious ideas and symbols in political action in South Asia

Perusahaan atau USAha industri adalah unit USAha yang melakukan kegiatan ekonomi, bertujuan menghasilkan barang atau jasa, terletak pada suatu bangunan atau lokasi tertentu, dan mempunyai catatan administrasi tersendiri mengenai produksi dan struktur biaya serta ada seorang atau lebih yang bertanggung jawab atas USAha tersebut. Salah satu golongan industri yang mempunyai peran penting dalam perekonomian Provinsi DIY adalah industri tekstil dan pakaian jadi. Pasang surut industri ini di tingkat nasional juga berdampak di tingkat daerah. Selain itu, industri ini juga menghadapi persaingan yang ketat mengingat sudah banyak yang menjalankan bisnis seperti ini dimasyarakat ditambah dengan banyaknya produk tekstil dan pakaian jadi impor yang masuk di pasaran Indonesia.

Plasma n-3 and n-6 fatty acid profiles and their correlations to hair coat scores in horses kept under Malaysian conditions

A survey was carried out to determine the relationship between plasma fatty acid profiles and hair coat scores of horses kept under Malaysian conditions. Thirty-seven Thoroughbred horses with an average age of seven years were included in this study. The surveyed population comprised 27 geldings and 10 mares from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall stables at Titiwangsa (TTW, n=7) and Bandar Tun Razak (BTR, n=7), the Equine Unit, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM, n=7), the Royal Malaysian Police stables (RMP, n=8) and the Selangor Turf Club (STC, n=8). Plasma and feed fatty acid profiles were determined using gas chromatography and the hair coat score determined using a seven-point scoring system (1=worst hair coat condition; 7=best hair coat condition). Results showed that feed and plasma fatty acids profiles were variable across sampling locations. The n-6:n-3 ratios in feeds ranged from 6.8 (BTR) to 17.2 (UPM). Only plasma oleic and linolenic acids were different (P<0.05) across sampling locations. The STC horses had the best hair coat score (median score=7, P<0.05). It was found that total n-3 fatty acids were highly correlated with hair coat scores ( rho =0.686, P<0.01). A significant inverse correlation between n-6:n-3 ratio and hair coat scores ( rho =-0.755, P<0.01) was also noted. This meant that increasing plasma n-3 fatty acids and decreasing n-6:n-3 ratios were associated with better hair coat scores in these horses
