On the Death of a South Asian (?)
“I am a pagan. Like Nehru was. I think it has to do with the roots. All is one and Islam finally achieved the unity of God. It is irrelevant to discuss His existence, form and shape. It doesn’t actually matter. We now need to achieve the unity of humankind. A just, egalitarian and peace loving human society.”
Khalique Ibrahim Khalique, an author, a poet, a film maker, an intellectual, a humanist, a spiritualist, a man who was born in India, lived in Pakistan and one who lived what was perhaps the best of South Asia passed away on 29th September. The Dawn carried a note in his memory. We reproduce it that perhaps it may inspire some in the way that his life inspired many.
