The Story of
Advance Contemporary Affairs
In
1995, I visualized a project on current affairs. Then I started to
work on it. In mid 1995, I started Contemporary
Affairs and gave its publishing rights to a publishing house for
the period of ten years. From 1995 to end-2005, I honoured my
commitment and agreement with the said publishing house.
The
agreement expired in 2005. In start of 2006, I assigned the
publishing rights of Contemporary
Affairs to Advance Publishers - Lahore.
Meanwhile,
some top-most thinkers and intellectuals of Pakistan established a
non-profit and non-partisan think tank organization “Council on
Contemporary Affairs – Pakistan”, with its chapters in
Washington DC and London. In 2007, the Advance
Contemporary Affairs was attached with the “Council on
Contemporary Affairs – Pakistan”. So that readers can be
facilitated with more research-based and analytical matter.
Since
the start of my Contemporary
Affairs, many people and publishers are trying to imitate it. In
this struggle ethics and laws are the major causalities. In this
connection old and outdated reading material is being provided to
the readers by these elements. Articles given in my (Advance)
Contemporary Affairs’ previous volumes are being reproduced
without thinking that now they are of lesser benefit.
Some
elements are deceiving readers by copying my Advance Contemporary Affair’ format and settings. These people are
imitating wordings from my series’ title and print-line. By doing
so, they want to deceive public. But my readers know very well about
the original Contemporary
Affairs.
Candidates
of competitive examinations and higher studies need analytical,
in-depth, fresh and to-the-point material. They should avoid
irrelevant and obsolete material. Irrelevant material just wastes
their time and energies. Keeping these points in mind, “Council on
Contemporary Affairs – Pakistan” has started to prepare analyses
and research based papers on every current event. These papers are
being published in the Advance
Contemporary Affairs.
Approach
of Advance Contemporary
Affairs is analytical. For history and background information of
events I recommend to read “Advance
World Affairs”.
The said book provides strong foundation for further (analytical)
study. Through this book readers can easily understand and learn all
necessary events.
By
the grace of Almighty Allah Book 48 of Advance
Contemporary Affairs sold out within two weeks. This shows
readers’ trust in my work. Readers’ further guidance and
encouragement will further improve my works.
