Introduction

ORIENTAL COLLEGE MAGAZINE (OCM) is one of the oldest research journals of Oriental languages (Arabic, Persian, Urdu etc.), uninterruptedly being published by University Oriental College, University of the Punjab, since 1925. Deeply embedded in both classical and modern traditions of research, cognizant of ever-emerging knowledge and insights in the fields of Oriental languages, literature, and their attendant cultures, OCM is currently published quarterly in Urdu. Hence, OCM invites research articles from different specializations in Oriental Studies aimed at digging out new facts or rectifying old ones and interpreting notions related to Oriental languages, literatures, and history etc. The Magazine is recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan in the category of “Y” in Humanities& Languages Journals. Efforts are on way to get its category elevated.

The OCM has a double-blind peer reviewing policy. Initial screening for the suitability of the article for publication in the OCM is carried out by the editorial committee and subsequently the manuscript is sent for blind reviewing. Following HEC peer review policy, each article is reviewed by one local expert and two from academically advanced countries. Authors are kept informed about the comments, revisions, amendments, omissions suggested by the reviewers and are accordingly required to revise their papers.
