Sabir should be happy that in any country there are more labourers than art teachers, more lay persons than clergy.
We should respectfully allow the self professed wise men to have their say, but equally they should respectfully allow the multitude to have their way.
Insisting on rigid conformity to thought, dress and habits would prevent evolution and improvement. A richly interesting society that adapts to the current situation can only exist when societys freedom is not curtailed by diktats of however well intentioned individuals.
There is not only one path to salvation….

Tableeghi jamat is one of the main problem in Today’s Pakistan, period. This should be banned altogether . Yes these jamati mullahs or so called caretakers of Islam do mislead people as they themselves dont know much about the true Islam.

You reminded me of time when as a young boy in the early fifties in a small town of Gujarat in India I experienced the same thing still fresh in my memory.I remember the audience at least 15% Muslims and some Parsi.Those days are gone in India too,why talk of Pakistan.We have learned to hate each other, may God,Ishwar,Bhagwan,Allah,Khuda help us.

No doubt pakistan ‘was’ quite hospitable to the minorities, they ‘lived’ as respectable citizens as the majorities do…..
I do not know about the media in Pakistan as a whole. I only read Dawn now. I found most of the other media that I have read to be ‘intellectually deficient’.
Dawn is doing an excellent service for the people of Pakistan. Dawn keeps us bombarded with the truth. We are preached to deny the truth from our early childhood, and this makes truth even more bitter for us than it normally is.

Sabir Nazar is not only a wonderful person but a great cartoonist & Painter … I am a proud possessor of few of his paintings …His humour and sting go side by side … In many of his paintings he uses symbols of Hinduism, Islam and other faiths … he had related to me the above story when I met him in lahore in 2010 … May ur tribe grow Nazar Sahib …!!
