INDIA:

Mandi Ahmedgarh :

With an intent to highlight the role of Islamic leaders in the pre-independence freedom struggle, a group of Muslim youths have decided to organise a function on the occasion of Republic Day, during which sacrifices of unsung heroes from their community would be highlighted.

Besides organising an elaborate programme after unfurling the Tricolour at the Dehliz Chowk on January 26, the enthusiasts will also install banners displaying portraits of more than 20 prominent Muslim freedom fighters at various locations.

The organisers say the gesture will motivate Muslim youths of the region to come forward and play active in nation building, irrespective of their political, social or religious allegiances.

Zeshan Haidar, the convener of the scheduled event, said youths from various Muslim organisations of the area had been roped in to work in tandem for restoring the lost glory of leaders from their community, who had made supreme sacrifices in struggle against the British Government and played a major role in getting freedom for the country.

“Unfortunately, successive governments have failed to recognise the contributions of Muslim leaders in the freedom struggle and a majority of Muslim freedom fighters and martyrs have remained unsung during functions held to celebrate national events such as Republic Day and Independence Day,” Zeshan Haidar said, adding that these names were also missing from history books.

The enthusiasts have shortlisted names of about 100 Muslim leaders of pre-Independence era and portraits of 20 from them will be displayed in the region.

Maulana Shah Abdul Qadir Ludhianvi (grandfather of Shahi Imam Punjab Maulana Usman Ludhianvi), Zakir Husain, Begum Hazrat Mehal, Maulvi Ahmadullah, Abadi Bano Begam, Ashfaqulla Khan and Husain Ahmed Madni were cited among more prominent Muslim freedom fighters whose portraits figure on the proposed banners.

Mechanical Engineering Alumni of Iowa State University, Najeeb Kuzhiyil publishes novel: ‘Spirit of Engineering’

Spirit of Engineering, published by ME alum Najeeb Kuzhiyil in December 2017, tells the story of two freshman college students and their journey to discover what engineering is. Image courtesy of Najeeb Kuzhiyil

A novel penned by a mechanical engineering alum tells the story of two freshmen college students and their journey to discover what engineering is.

Najeeb Kuzhiyil, who graduated with a PhD in ME in 2013, recently published his first novel: Spirit of Engineering: The Journey of Two College Freshmen and the Soul of Engineering. The idea to write the book, which was published in December 2017, first came to Kuzhiyil while he was a student at Iowa State.

“So I thought before you begin your undergrad studies, you should understand what engineering is in simple terms,” said Kuzhiyil. “I really wanted to write a book that was simple enough for high school students.”

The book took about a year and a half to write and started out as separate essays covering four pillars of engineering: methodical approach, practical skills, abstraction, and creativity.

“One morning I was lying in my bed and I thought why don’t I tell this as a story. I can include all of these concepts and wind them into a nice plot,” Kuzhiyil said.

The target audience for the book is high school students or perhaps even freshmen in college. The plot is set in modern times and follows around two main characters who are both first year engineering students at an unnamed Midwestern college: Matt from northern Iowa and Maya from India.

Matt and Maya come across a presentation about the Wright Brothers which piques their interest to the point that they decide to travel to the Wright Brothers museum in Dayton, Ohio in an attempt to better understand what engineering really is. During their travels they meet an experienced, middle-aged engineer who helps them understand how math, physics, and other natural phenomena apply to engineering.

Kuzhiyil said that his PhD advisor Robert C Brown, Anson Marston Distinguished Professor in Engineering, was a major influence on him personally and with his writing style specifically.

“He’s a wonderful engineer and he’s a great writer because we as engineers aren’t always great writers,” said Kuzhiyil. “Before coming to Iowa State I never paid attention to my English but Dr. Brown told us ‘You might be great engineers but you also have to learn how to write well. It’s very important to be able to express your ideas.’”

Brown, who also serves as director of the Bioeconomy Institute at Iowa State, wrote the foreword of the book. He said he thinks the book can be helpful for the next generation of engineers.

“I would have benefited from this book when I was in high school, at the time having no clear idea of the engineering profession. Even today despite the emphasis on STEM education, engineers are rarely portrayed in popular culture except for the occasional less than flattering role of bumbling technocrat. Najeeb’s book helps to overcome this stereotype,” Brown said.

Kuzhiyil cited Brown, whose research focuses on biorenewable resources, as a major reason why he chose Iowa State to pursue his PhD. Kuzhiyil is originally from the state of Kerala in southern India. He attended school in the city of Kochi and began developing an interest in chemical engineering in high school. He attributed his interest in engineering to his older brother, Dr. Abdul Kader, who studied chemistry and worked at a fertilizer manufacturing company.

“I didn’t know anything about chemical engineering, but as a kid I thought it would be cool to learn about it,” he said, adding there was a large petroleum refinery close to home that always fascinated him.

Kuzhiyil graduated with a bachelor of technology in chemical engineering from the University of Calicut and went on to work as a tech service engineer for Indian Oil Corporation.

After a decade in industry, Kuzhiyil decided to pursue an advanced degree. In graduate school his interest shifted from chemical engineering to renewable energy. He graduated with a MS in Combustion and Energy from the University of Leeds in England in 2005.

Kuzhiyil came to Iowa State in 2008 and was involved in various groups outside of his engineering studies, including serving as president of the Indian Students Association from 2009 to 2010. Despite spending just three years in Ames, Kuzhiyil said he made friends and memories that will last a lifetime.

“There were so many moments I really enjoyed at Iowa State,” said Kuzhiyil. “Our research group was so big we had people from all over the world. We had people from India, China, Europe, Africa, from all over and we had discussions on science, on politics, on life, on love, on everything. They were all great for me because different viewpoints and perspectives on different things were really insightful. I really had a blast and enjoyed every moment of my PhD.”

Kuzhiyil added that he loved the beauty of Iowa State’s campus, especially during the spring bloom, and that he enjoyed participating in the International Food Festival during the annual VEISHEA celebration.

After completing his PhD, he worked as a fuels and lubricants technologist at General Electric for six years. In November 2017, he was hired as a staff engineer in synthetic lubricants at ExxonMobil Corporation. His current work focuses on engine oils and gear oils and how it relates to fuel economy.

“By using synthetic lubricants we can improve fuel and the energy efficiency. Synthetics are more of a move toward a sustainable future,” Kuzhiyil said, adding that the job has been a nice marriage between his interests in chemical engineering and renewable energy.

During his career, Kuzhiyil has studied or worked on three different continents. He said that these diverse experiences have contributed to his professional development and have been helpful when approaching challenges.

“In engineering most of the problems we deal with are open-ended. There’s no single answer to many of the problems. You can design things in different ways so the engineer’s job is to design a product or a process or whatever, within the constraints of resources, environment, culture and weather. All of those factors play into the engineering,” said Kuzhiyil.

“Because I come from India, and I lived in Europe and the U.S., all of these places are different if you look at the available resources, the weather, the philosophy, etcetera. I really got a lot of examples of how the same product can be different on these three different continents and I think that’s been helpful in getting me to where I am today.”

New Delhi:

Darshna Rathore had a chance to fight for gold but missed the last two birds and thus had to settle for the bronze.

Olympian and World Cup gold medallist Mairaj Ahmad Khan asserted his class yet again as he accelerated to a smart finish in grabbing the skeet gold in the Digvijay Singh shotgun championship at the Dr. Karni Singh Range, Tughlakabad, on Sunday.

The 46-year-old Mairaj beat Arjun Thakur 35-30 for the gold, as he missed only one bird in the medal round. He had qualified on top in the semifinal with 27 hits, after having made the final with a modest score of 115, six point behind qualification topper Gurjoat Khangura.

‘’Final and semifinal are great. I am going to work only on qualification for the next three months’’, said Mairaj, understandably happy about the way he had competed despite not being at his best.

It was a similar case during the last World Cup in Changwon, when Mairaj had to win a shoot off with four others after being tied on 119 for the last two berths, before racing to the gold.

Anantjeet Singh Naruka who had shot 120 in qualification lost the shoot off against Amrinder Singh Cheema for a berth in the medal round.

It was Raiza Dhillon all the way as she won both the women’s and junior gold. Raiza beat qualification topper Ganemat Sekhon 36-35 for the women’s gold, and beat Parinaaz Dhaliwal 33-32 for the junior gold.

Darshna Rathore had a chance to fight for gold but missed the last two birds and thus had to settle for the bronze.

The results:

Skeet: Men: 1. Mairaj Ahamed Khan 35 (27) 115; 2. Arjun Thakur 30 (27) 119; 3. Gurjoat Khangura 24 (29) 121; 4. Amrinder Singh Cheema 15 (24) 113.

Pune, MAHARASHTRA :

Come August and Shahnawaz Khan Pathan of Pune would join the training course for the First Class Judge. Her’s is an incredible journey from living with her family in a ten-by-ten space in Ghorpadi Pait Lohia Nagar slum settlement where she grew up and studied. 

Shahnawaz Khan’s story proves that success is not achieved in a day and only one who has the determination to make it will succeed. Shahnawaz Khan Pathan is the third sibling among her four sisters and one brother. Their father Aman Khan Pathan manages the family with his earnings from a small grocery shop.

Despite Aman Khan’s low income,  he tried his best to provide proper education to his children as a result all his children are educated.

Shahnawaz Khan Pathan’s success has her father happy and proud. Aman Khan Pathan says that due to the poor financial condition of his family, he was not able to study. Sumaiya not only made his dream come true and also made him a proud father who can tell the world that he is the father of Shahnawaz Khan Pathan. 

Speaking with Awaz-the Voice, Aman Khan Pathan became emotional and said: “I am proud of Shahnawaz.” 

Her mother  Sugrabi Pathan wipes her tears of joy and says that her daughter was always very good in her studies from the very beginning. “We had high hopes from her and see she did it. I always pray for her success and success.”

Shahnawaz Khan with her Uncle Jia Khan Pathan

The family has lived all through in a small hut in the narrow streets of Lohia Nagar. There is hardly an environment conducive to studies.

However,  Shahnawaz Khan Pathan worked hard and made history by becoming the first Muslim first-class judge of Pune. 

Shahnawaz says that mere imagination does not lead to success. One needs to work hard to fulfill one’s dreams and achieve success. 

On her family’s support, Shahnawaz says that her father was always there to guide her. “Even with his meager income, he made every effort to provide for me whenever I needed something.” 

However, Shahnawaz has another hero in her life: her uncle Jia Khan Pathan, and his wife – whom she credits with encouraging her and filling her with hope and enthusiasm to keep moving.

Shahnawaz being felicitated by a civil society organisation in Pune

“From the first day till the JFMC interview, Uncleji was with me like my shadow. Whenever I had to go outside the city for writing an examination, my uncle and aunty would accompany me. He never left me alone. My mother and my entire family, friends, and neighbors all kept encouraging me.” 

However, her failure to clear the Public service Commission conducted Maharashtra Judicial Services Examination in her first attempt in 2019  caused her disappointment. “At that time my father encouraged me and told me to try it again. I tried with renewed vigor and confidence and this time my name figured in the list of results declared in 2020,” she says.

 Shahnawaz has studied at Maharishi Annasaheb Shinde, Zilla Parishad School. Today, when she is all set to become the first Muslim judge of Pune, Shahnawaz says she believes that “education is not preparation for life but education is life.” 

She says she was always determined to not let the circumstances of her life become a hindrance in her path. It was only some time back that her family shifted to their new house in the Kondhwa area. 

Shahnawaz Khan Pathan speaking at a function

Shahnawaz was a practicing lawyer before becoming a civil judge-cum-judicial magistrate first class (JFMC). She married software developer Sunny Sayyed before on May 25 before the JFMC results were out. She lives with her husband in the Urudi Kanchan area of Pune. 

As a legal professional Shahnawaz says that awareness campaigns should be launched to make common people aware of the legal options and legal aspects of life. Legal camps and street plays can be very helpful in this direction. She says that lack of proper information aggravates many problems.

Shahnawaz believes that a common citizen can become a force multiplier in the progress of the country by staying within the purview of the law for redressal of his grievances.
