CHENAB VALLEY JAN 03:-Hailing from a remote and hilly region in Bunjwah, Dr. Faquir Mohammad created history. He added a cap on his parents and the Scheduled Tribe Community by successfully completing his PhD in the Department of Urdu and its role at Aligarh Muslim University.

Born in a small hamlet Mori of Block Bunjwah on 01 Feb 1995 in a middle-class family, Faquir Mohammed completed his primary, and middle schooling at his native village school Government Middle School Mori in 2008 with 1st Division and later on joined SWR Virender Kumar Government Higher Secondary School Binoon and completed Secondary School Examination in 2010 with 2nd Division.

Continuing his studies, Faquir Mohammad completed his Higher Secondary School Examination from Government Boys Higher Secondary School Kishtwar in 2012 and later completed his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Government Degree College Kishtwar in 2016.

After completing his Graduation, Faquir Mohammad qualified for SET in 2017 and completed a Master of Arts in Urdu from the University of Jammu in 2018-19. Later on, Faqir Mohammad moved to Aligarh Muslim University in 2019 to complete his Ph.D. on a very interesting topic “Critical Interpretation of Urdu Non-fiction in contact with Uttar Pradesh perspective of India under the able guidance of Prof. Dr. Sultan Ahmed of Aligarh Muslim University.

While interacting with the author, Dr. Faquir Mohammad briefly described that “In the history of Urdu literature, Delhi and Lucknow have their own unique identity. The importance of Delhi depends on Sufism, purity, passion, and internality, while Lucknow has the importance of academic, literary, and cultural externality and similes and metaphors. In the development of Urdu language and Literature, Uttar Pradesh holds the lead along with various states of the subcontinent. Various cities here, including Lucknow, Faizabad, Rampur, Aligarh, Allahabad, Banaras, etc. are the prominent cities where this language was born and flourished. Literature is divided into two parts, one part of which is poetry and the other of prose. As far as prose literature is concerned, it is given a place in fiction and non-fiction literature to make it more interesting and meaningful. In fiction literature, there is always an emphasis on the fact that you perform your duty to something with the help of imaginative power. Similarly, in non-fiction, an artist cultivates literature by giving preference to facts and events based on arguments. The genres included in this category include autobiography, biography, travelogue, letter writing, essay writing, articles, essays, etc. In the development of Urdu language literature, the state of Uttar Pradesh is second to none in the entire subcontinent”.

During his research in Amu, Dr. Faquir Mohammed qualified for the National Eligibility Test under UGC 8 times from 2017 to 2024. By the completion of his studies, Dr. Faquir Mohammad had created history in Bunjwah by becoming the first-ever Ph.D holder belonging to the ST community in the Bunjwah region of Kishtwar district.

Dr. Faquir Mohammad briefly described his journey that “I have always given priority to the fact that there will definitely be problems in the world, but we need to change ourselves to remove these problems. I especially give this message to my area that Allah Almighty has created every human being the same and it depends on the human being to take his life on which path. The importance of education in our nation is negligible. Life is spent only in quarrels and useless rituals. I believe that whenever you want to harm someone, first pay attention to the fact that you should forgive him once and see if both of you can improve and hope for better relations in society can be established again. But the haste and ignorance of people have saddened the society. There are many obstacles in our society, but who will remove them! So, if you are alive, prove it. Thanks to just one education, all your obstacles have been removed. You move forward, you will find shade at any cost”.

Various Socio-Political Activists from Bunjwah including Shah Nawaz Hussain, Ishtaq Wani, Saddam Hussain Kither, Mohd Ali Kasana Secretary Panchayat, Ashiq Hussain Wani Lazawal Correspondent, praise and congratulated Dr. Faquir Mohammad on his successful completion of Ph.D from Aligarh Muslim University.
