Teaching PhilosophyIn my view, a great teacher is like a great artist who uses basic tools to transform raw materials into valuable assets of society. However, great artists may not have the best tools or best skills – they are recognized because of their passion and their unique perspective of the world. That is the difference between an artist and an artisan.

Teaching is similar. Great teachers are not just ones who transmit information, teach skills, and help students earn the best grades. They are those who share their passion for knowledge and curiosity with their students, inspire the students’ creativity, develop their critical thinking ability, and prepare them for the complex world they will face after stepping off campus

PUBLICATION:

Aik Sa Mousam – A short stories book

The Political System of Pakistan-A constitutional Study by Paramount Publication, ISBN 9789694949963

About the book

The subject of the book is possibly the most sought after topic in the present kaleidoscope of Pakistan’s political mural. To comprehend and appreciate Politics, a deep acquaintanceship with history is a pre-requisite. Dr. Rizvi has taken up a subject for his book The Political System of Pakistan: A Constitutional Study, traversing from the establishment of the State of Pakistan in 1947, tracing the strands of politics from its formative years to the present latitudes of political realizations, is an apt topic to choose. His decision to publish his taxing research as a book will invariably be a rich contribution to the available literature on Pakistan and Politics.

The author has treaded on many political questions, which may perceptively be accepted as historical facts, but aphoristically are open to reappraisals. Dr. Rizvi has taken up a great deal on the subject and has provided his own conceptions on the issues revolving on the decade of 1950s. These years have become the base of our present. This in a nutshell puts the problems faced by Pakistan. Unless a true introspection of the policies, and areal exercise based on the truth and

reconciliation is taken up in Pakistan. Not much hope lies ahead.

I wish to applaud the work of Dr. Arshad Rizvi and hope his book will be taken well by the critics.
