Strange/unsurprising to know Pakistan grapples with the same issues of cultural identity as India despite all our utterances to the secular-contrary. Out of curiosity, is Imran Khan really not a popular choice? Any particular reasons (politically I mean, not just because he used to be a cricketer)?<br /><br />P.S. Maybe you could translate a few lines of his poetry for those of us who don't understand Urdu? I've been meaning to do the same with Malayalee (speakers of Malayalam, from the state of Kerala)writers I adore but can never seem to get around to it. If we don't do our bit, who will right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00606857660947384949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694528935051171677.post-81055700767934380392012-01-25T11:56:10.324+05:002012-01-25T11:56:10.324+05:00Very good point.

I read Insha jee's prose at an early age and became an instant fan but appreciation of his poetry came much later. Do check out a rendition of his ghazal 'Farz Karo' by Chhaya Ganguli.Farheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573835329559419583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694528935051171677.post-17615238105059019182012-01-14T12:13:52.070+05:002012-01-14T12:13:52.070+05:00i remember hearing his ghazal when i was twelve. i...i remember hearing his ghazal when i was twelve. i was averse to all things urdu because ammi used to force me to do tashreeh after tashreeh. but the lyrics that were so wistful and ironic tore at my heart - as does the last sentence of this post. a fitting tribute. am sharing!Shazafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297117189775880268noreply@blogger.com
