Thanks for the article and wonderful translation. Are there any works of Bulleh Shah translated into English, preferably alongside Punjabi text?

A good reminder.

The generations of Punjabi children after the partition have missed out on the spirit of Bulleh Shah and other Sufis of Punjab. While they can speak Punjabi, they neither read nor write. This almost criminal neglect of the mother tongue needs to be reveresed. I read recently that they are thinking of making Punjabi an optional language in small classess. Not too sure?

Only a strong cultural base (language & literature) can effectively fight the demon of extremism. Bulleh Shah should not be admired only as a part of history but should be a part of our everyday life. Omair. Thanks.
