4.1 Introduction

Southern Punjab where Rahim Yar Khan is located is a major city and industrial hub of the
region, while borders areas of Baluchistan and Sindh are deprived in terms of facilities of higher
education in science and technology. Students from the region had to travel hundreds of miles to
get engineering and technology education, even when they would be lucky enough to get
admission in the face of high competition on limited seats in the public-sector engineering
universities of the province. Hence, establishment of an Engineering University in the city had
been a long-standing demand of the people of Rahim Yar Khan. Successive governments over the
years had been making unfulfilled promises on this account. However, Mian Muhammad Shahbaz
Sharif, Chief Minister Punjab, being a man of action and not mere words, fulfilled this demand on
22nd April 2014 by laying the foundation of Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering
&Information Technology on Abu Dhabi Road, Rahim Yar Khan. The Government of Punjab
started out by providing 220 Acres of land and through the involvement of the University of
Engineering & Technology, Lahore under the dynamic leadership of its Vice Chancellor, Lt. Gen.
(Retd.) Akram Khan, a PC -1 of Rs. 3,847 Million was prepared and subsequently approved by
the Planning & Development Board, Punjab for the establishment of Khwaja Fareed University of
Engineering & Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan. M/S NESPAK, the world-renowned
National Engineering Services of Pakistan, were engaged as Consultants for Engineering Design
and Resident Engineering Supervision for Campus Construction. Later, Government of the
Punjab granted more land on university requests, and now total land occupied by the University is
275 Acres.
The Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan Act
(Act XVI of 2014) was passed by the Punjab Assembly on 29 th May 2014 to provide the legal
foundations and framework for the University. Classes were started in four rented classrooms of
the Government College of Technology, Shehbaz pur Road, some 18 kms away from the actual
campus site, on September 1st, 2014 for a batch of 200 students equally divided in the four
disciplines of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and
Information Technology.

INTRODUCTION
This course has three components containing both readings and related activities: The first
component is about fables—that is, stories with animal characters having human
attributes.
The second component concerns wisdom literature and looks specifically at some of the
stories, both in prose and poetry, of the famous Persian literary figure Sa‘di. The third
component is on the world’s largest epic—the Shāhnāma (Book of Kings) of another
literary giant, Firdausi.
OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the three major literary
genres of fables, wisdom literature, and epic. Students will learn the distinguishing
characteristics, themes, and historical contexts of each genre, allowing them to develop a
deeper appreciation and critical understanding of these literary forms. Throughout the
course, students will critically reflect on the moral and ethical implications present in the
texts. By analyzing the lessons conveyed through fables, wisdom literature, and epics,
students will develop their ethical reasoning and understanding of human values.
Students will explore the significant influence of fables, wisdom literature, and epic
narratives on culture, society, and human behavior. The course will promote critical
thinking skills by encouraging students to evaluate the narrative structures, character
development, and symbolic elements present in fables, wisdom literature, and epic tales.
By exploring diverse narratives from various cultures, this course will foster cultural
awareness and empathy. Students will be encouraged to appreciate and respect the values
and beliefs of different societies, promoting a more interconnected global perspective.

COURSE OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Recognize and differentiate between fables, wisdom literature, and epic narratives,
explaining their defining characteristics, themes, and historical contexts.
2. Critically analyze a variety of fables, wisdom literature and epic, discerning the
allegorical elements, moral lessons, and symbolic representations within the narratives.

19
 Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan
3. Analyze the moral and ethical messages embedded in the texts and assess their relevance
to contemporary ethical dilemmas and societal issues.
4. Clearly communicate their analyses and interpretations of fables, wisdom literature, and
epic narratives, both orally and in written form.

COURSE CONTENTS
I - FABLES - Kalīla wa Dimna
Kalīla wa Dimna is a collection of fables in Arabic dating back to the 8th century CE.
The fables were originally written in Sanskrit and trace their origins to India prior to the
6th century. After being translated to Pahlavi, they were then translated into Arabic by
Abdullah ibn Muqaffa during the Abbasid era and since then have been in circulation
around the world in numerous languages including Greek and Latin.

In these various translations, the book has not remained in a static form but instead
various additions and omissions have accompanied its long history of translation.
Following chapters from Kalīla wa Dimna or The Fables of Bidpai are included:
 Chapter V – The Lion and the Bull, or the emblem of two friends whom a liar contrives
to disunite.
 Chapter VI – Investigation of the conduct together with the defense of Dimna.
I - FABLES - Bāng-i Darā
Bāng-i Darā or The Call of the Marching Bell is the first and the most famous of Allama
