On Faiz's Birthday.
A telling article on Faiz in the friday times the other day. A fresh perspective on Faiz's involvement in the 'rawalpandi conspiracy' case.
Partly in lieu of this, Faiz was one amongst a long line of great pakistanis dealt a poor hand by our own authorities. Abdus Salam immediately comes to mind as another one of those hapless victims.
Friday times does not archive its past editions so i've included the text here.
Faiz, the way he was
