For readers: The best way to say thanks to the topic opener is by visiting and by participation. The number of times the topic is viewed and your contribution shows by you guys shows Ababeel that how much his effort is appreciated. Simple thank you replies, though appreciated by the poster and by myself, simply add unnecessary length to the topic resulting in unwanted congestion.

So no post unless you have something to offer. I deleted the thanks replies. did not like doing it but somethings have to be done to keep this thing in order.

Once again; Thanks for your visit and please contribute.

Sobank

Just an intro to the brilliance

“It was hitherto considered not possible at Cambridge
that a man could take honours in four Triposes in a short
period of five years but it is credit to India that Inayatullah
Khan of the Christ’s College has accomplished the feat.”
The Star, London, 1912

____________________________________________

“A further batch of lists was published this morning. Chief
interest was taken in the performance of Inayatullah Khan
of Christ’s College who has proved himself the best allround
Indian student ever at Cambridge. The best known
Indians previously are, perhaps, B.P. Paranjpye and A.T.
Rajan . . . A few years ago S.A. Majid . . . besides passing
both parts of Law Tripos, obtained honours in Oriental
Languages Tripos. All these performances are swept aside
by the achievement of Inayatullah Khan of Christ’s College
who yesterday obtained a First Class in the Mechanical
Sciences Tripos . . . He is believed to be the first man of
any nationality to obtain honours in four different
Triposes. He established a record at the Punjab University
also in Mathematics by gaining First Class for the first
time in the history of the University. He has carried off a
very large number of awards at Christ’s College”
The Cambridge Daily, June 12, 1912

Cordoba

Córdoba is a city in Andalucía, southern Spain, and the capital of the province of Córdoba.
Today a moderately-sized modern city, the old town contains many impressive architectural reminders of when Córdoba was the thriving capital of the Caliphate of Córdoba.


The main reason we visited the city of Cordoba was to see the Mezquita. The Mezquita of Cordoba is the Great Masjid built under Islamic rule in Spain(700s AD) that still stands today.




Views of the Mezquita from the bridge


Adil and Zainab


One of several beautifully decorated entrances to the Mezquita.


Today, the Mezquita is the cathedral of Cordoba and no longer a masjid, but the vast majority of its architecture owes its origin to the Islamic architects who built it as a mosque in the 8th century.


The Mezquita de Cordoba is most notable for its giant arches and its forest of over 1,000 columns of jasper, onyx, marble, and granite.


Amazing views !!!


The Mahrab, considered one of the most beautiful in the world was built by Al Hakam II (961-76). It's decorated with golden mosaic designs and Arabic script.


Another view of the Mahrab.

The spectacular domed ceiling above the Mahrab.




Views of the bridge.


Alcazar (castle), another of the major attractions of Cordoba. The gate was closed so we could not go inside.

As Chairman Senate, Ghulam Ishaq Khan signs the documents that formally put an end to Gen. Zia ul Haq’s Martial Law on 30 December, 1985. Zia ul Haq himself, Prime Minister Junejo and Chairman Majlis-e-Shoora Fakhar Imam look on.
