Dastan-e Musharraf Ali Farooqi
If you haven't seen this yet and are so inclined, check out the interview I did with Musharraf Ali Farooqi for Vol. 9 of Papercuts. He had some interesting views on Urdu and the creation of Pakistan. You also get to see his cat, Mano. After meeting a literary critic recently who said, "Everyone's in conversation with someone or the other" though, I'm seriously questioning the title of this piece! Anyway, enjoy.

Hi Aafia:
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the link to the amazing piece. But for your blog I would never have known about Amir Hamza. More importantly, it was written in such simple and easy to read manner that even a person like me, who had no knowledge about the subject, enjoyed the post. More importantly, I might even try to get my hands on the book.
Looking forward to more posts from you.
Warm wishes
Anu
Yes, please do read it! It's super easy reading, and very engaging. Where are you based, Anu? M.A. Farooqi's leaving soon for India to promote his new book.
