Former Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani left this world at the age of 74. One day national mourning has been observed in India on his death. On July 13, flags are flown at half mast across the country. But apart from this, the identity of Al Thani was that he gave domestic and global identity to his country full of energy.

Sheikh Hamad came to power in Qatar in 1995. At that time the economy of Qatar was very limited, or let us assume, it was limited. Let us assume that at that time Qatar was running its economy only with the help of oil. At the same time, the huge gas storage of the North Field site was in the initial stages only.

As soon as Hamad came to power, he made his country Qatar the largest exporter of LNG within two decades. During this period, Qatar achieved many achievements. Qatar is the owner of one of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds and ranks among the richest countries in terms of per capita income.

The reason behind this is that experts believe that Sheikh Hamad made major changes in the economy. New model implemented. The increase in oil and gas prices was a factor, but it was not the entire factor. Hamad’s role was important in this. They invested the wealth generated from oil and gas in creating production assets, financial institutions, infrastructure and human capital. This was his investment strategy.

Gas changed Qatar’s economy
Qatar’s economic transformation truly began with the development of the world’s largest natural gas field, North Field. The decision to convert oil into gas in 1990 also took Qatar to new heights. In 1996, Qatar sent its first LNG shipment. In less than 15 years, Qatar became the world’s largest exporter of this commodity.

The rise in gas prices boosted Qatar’s economy like a rocket. Within a decade, it became one of the largest economies of the world. During the reign of Sheikh Hamad, Qatar’s economy grew more than twenty times. During this period, GDP i.e. Gross Domestic Product increased from $8 billion in 1995 to approximately $199 billion in 2013.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the economy also recorded the highest growth rate in the world. The real growth rate here in 2006 was 18 percent. Which increased to 26.2 in 2011.

How Qatar’s economy increased by 11 billion Qatari riyals to 403 billion riyals?

By 2010, production increased to 77 million tonnes annually. This not only increased revenue, but also strengthened Qatar’s position as a strategic partner for global energy security and the economy of Asia and Europe. During the reign of Sheikh Hamad, the value of the hydrocarbon sector increased from 11 billion Qatari riyals, approximately 3 billion dollars, to 403 billion riyals i.e. 110.4 billion dollars.

What did Hamid Karzai say?
Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has strongly condemned Pakistan’s attacks. Expressing deep sorrow and solidarity with the families of the victims, the former President has once again said that Pakistan is facing the consequences of its wrong policies and hostile actions in the region. They should understand that by sticking to those policies and continuing with them, they will not be able to achieve their goals. It is in Pakistan’s best interest to abandon its policy of war and destruction towards Afghanistan and choose the path of becoming a good neighbour.

The ceasefire was in danger with Pakistan’s attack on Afghanistan on April 27. At least 7 people were killed and 85 people were injured in this attack. These attacks were carried out in university and civilian areas.

both blame each other
Let us tell you that Pakistan has always been alleging that extremists, especially the terrorists of Pakistani Taliban (also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP), take shelter in Afghanistan and then carry out attacks inside Pakistan from there. Although TTP is separate from the Afghan Taliban, the two groups are linked. The Taliban government of Afghanistan has always denied these allegations of Pakistan.

In fact, after the American troops left the country in the year 2021, India’s close friend Afghanistan is under the rule of Taliban. Since the Taliban came into power in the Afghan government, their relations with neighboring country Pakistan are not good.

Suryakumar Yadav has been removed from the T20 captaincy of India. Shreyas Iyer has been given command in his place.

Today is Hindi Day. In such a situation, the question becomes interesting whether the Mughals knew Hindi or not? Actually, when Mughal came to India, he came with his mother tongue, but over time he also had a deep connection with local languages ​​and culture.

After defeating Ibrahim Lodi in the first battle of Panipat in 1526, Babur laid the foundation of the Mughal Empire in India. Babur came from the Fargana Valley (today’s Uzbekistan) and brought with him Türkiye and Chagatai languages. The mother tongue of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, was Chagatai, whose clear proof is his autobiography Babarnama, which was written in this language.

What was the official language of administration?

With the passage of time, the Mughal emperors started to connect deeply to Indian art, culture and local languages. Despite this, the official language of the administration and the court remained Persian, while he kept Turkey as his family and mother tongue.

The mother tongue of Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty, was Chagatai and Türkiye. But due to the deep impact of Persian in Central Asia and political relations, the Mughals created their official language Persian.

• Babarnama of Babur was written in Chagatai.
• Akbar’s court historian Abul Fazal wrote in Akbarnama and Ain-e-Akbari Persian.
• Jahangir’s autobiography Jahangiranama is also in Persian.
• Dara Shikoh translated the Persian of the Upanishads and the Gita.

Connection with Hindi and Hindustani

As the empire increased in India, the Mughal contact with the local people and culture deepened. The need for dialogue pulled him towards the Indian language.

• Hindustani was a mixture of Sanskritist Hindi, local dialects, Persian and Türkiye.
• In military camps, this language and development started to be called Urdu.
• At that time, Hindustani and Urdu were considered almost the same, the difference was only of the script- in Hindustani Devanagari, Urdu was written in Arabic-Persian script.

Protection of Hindi literature

The Mughals may use Persian for administrative work, but also gave protection to Hindi literature and poets. In this period, the devotional movement was at its peak. Tulsidas gave direction to both devotion and society by writing Ramcharitmanas. Surdas composed Krishna devotional literature and remained associated with Akbar’s court. Kabir hurt the evils of society from couplets and positions.

Bahadur Shah Zafar and Hindustani Literature

The last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar himself was a good poet. Some people consider him to be Urdu poet, while some Indian poets. Overall, he was the creator of the language that grew up on the land of India.
