A Visit To The Camp Of Beverloo

by Henry B. Harvey

Harvey’s glowing report was probably at least partly motivated by the major’s twofold goal of encouraging reform in the British army and showing (possibly diplomatic) gratitude to his Belgian hosts, but it also suggests that the manoeuvres achieved some of their objectives. Between 1830 and 1880, the practice of manoeuvres in Belgium remained largely the same, and it was geared toward three main goals. First, the military manoeuvres were intended to make a unified force out of inexperienced recruits and unite the three branches of the armed forces. According to Belgique militaire, “[only] at the camp, where they live together, can the members of the great military family get to know, value and love each other”.

The unfortunate composition of the Belgian army offered, furthermore, an exceptional example of what could be achieved by rigorous and steady practice. “When we consider the drawbacks under which the Belgian Army labours (…) it becomes a matter of surprise to see the precision with which such mere recruits are taught their Drill in so short a period”. In short, Harvey seems to have agreed with many of the optimistic notions of the triumph of the project of a national training camp and the practice of joint manoeuvres that prevailed in the Belgian military press, and with local criticism of the law of conscription. He considered the Belgian army and Beverloo Camp exemplary instances of military unification, to be contrasted with the “constantly dispersed state of our [British] Army”. He ended his report with a particularly explicit reference to the notions of political and military unity, which dovetailed with those in Belgian military discourse. Citing the Belgian motto “L’Union Fait la Force”, he stated that “the union of practical instruction, energy, and talent, constitutes the real strength of armies”.

Secular and Nationalist Jinnah

by Ajeet Jawed 1 Want to read

Delhi historian Dr. Ajeet Jawed’s book based on extensive research, also questions many a myth and misconception about Jinnah’s in Partition. This is a work that is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of India’s freedom struggle and the origin of Pakistan.

Fortunately for us the spell is broken. There are people on both sides of the divide who understand history in the right perspective. One such person is the Indian historian, Dr. Ajeet Jawed’s well researched book “Jinnah-Secular and Nationalist” Has given probably, the first correct appraisal of political evolution and has established, in her own words, “Jinnah was a one of the builders of the modern India befitting tribute to the Quaid-I-Azam, especially as it comes from an Indian scholar.

The book questions many of the myths that have grown around Jinnah’s role in the freedom movement and highlights several factors that have deliberately been suppressed by Indians as well as Pakistani writers and politicians. But recently, after about 58 years, none other than a leader like L.K. Advani has admitted and boldly stated that M.A. Jinnah was a great man and a secularist.

What made this irreligious person demand a separate state for the Muslims? How could this cosmopolitan aristocrat who hated the mullahs and the maulavis, and who "ate pork, drank scotch and seldom entered a mosque", transform himself to lead a theocratic state?

English Grammar Into Pashto

by MD NAZIR AHMADZAI

• In these sentences, the time is past, and the situation is contrary to reality. The facts they are based on are the opposite of what is expressed, and they refer to an unreal past condition and its probable past result.

These two expressions are also followed by an unreal past. The verb is in the past tense, but the situation is in the present.

BE CAREFUL! There may be a verb tense in your language with a similar form, but the meaning is probably NOT the same.

Note: with verbs not normally used in the continuous form, the simple past is used. See list in Present continuous

• In these sentences, the time is the present or future and the situation is real. They refer to a possible condition and its probable result.

In these sentences the time in the If-clause is now or always, and the time in the main clause is before now. They refer to an unreal present situation and its probable (but unreal) past result:
