Three Poems by Allama Iqbal whoever the hell you are #11

First of all these poets are dead and gone. Faiz certainly had nothing to do with what happened in Mumbai, or anywhere else in India. He was well-loved in India. I am not a big fan of Iqbal myself, but I see no harm in reading and discussing poetry of any language, and calling it gandugiri as I said is your prerogative, but it does show that you are rather ignorant, and it is rather sad that you have to bring your pathetic BS and hate for Pakistanis into everything.

I don't know who the "you" is here, but I suggest you stop bringing Kasab papi into this conversation. Your hate is no less paapi than his was. What he did was criminal and horrific. The writer of this piece had nothing to do with Kasab. Not every article, or genre is an open avenue to bring such hate as yours into it, and if you really wanted a dialogue, it isn't the best way to begin one.

Finally it is ana, not anna, and this is the last time I am going to interact with you. This is a free website and no one is paying any money to discuss poetry which is a welcome discussion away from all the hate that both Pakistanis and Indians like you bring here. So kindly take your paapiness and flush it somewhere else. Most everyone ignores what you say anyway, and I am certainly going to do that from now on myself.

Three Poems by Allama Iqbal Oh, so "guru" and "satya" are the same. Pehle Faiz ka atman kar raha tha aur ab Iqbal ki shairi ki baari hai.

What a joker.

25 Years On: Remember Faiz What can be said about a worldview that is so small that it would consider poetry by Faiz as gandugiri?

Absolutely nothing.

PS: Faiz has written a number of poems in Punjabi.

25 Years On: Remember Faiz a slight bit of Faiz revisionism going on here, but that is to be expected. Faiz's poetry was revolutionary itself. To be critical of the government, of those in power, even if it is in poetry, is to be revolutionary, to be "subversive". That doesn't make him any less Pakistani, or less anything else. It does make him one of the greatest poets in Pakistan.

East Pakistan to Bangladesh okay, so this article was not about Bangladesh after all. That was just a macguffin (thanks Rahul for reminding me of this) to bash all Punjabis!

In that case, great article! Not really.

East Pakistan to Bangladesh Vaisay, I thought this article was about Bangladesh. Punjab dominates yet again.

East Pakistan to Bangladesh Fosa:

I think what you said actually may have made some sense. Keep up with the progress! *thumbs up ikaan*

East Pakistan to Bangladesh nobody likes Punjabis. boohoo

Bangladesh zindabad!

All Boys I think we encourage Tahir huzoor more by giving any importance to what he says.

But ain't that the truth with a lot of folks here? *sigh*

Access Denied "Happiness was a burger with more cheese and more fries than what others got."

I can totally relate to this definition of happiness!

Grandmothers have some interesting "truths", superstitions sometimes don't they?

Nicely written. :)

All Boys I don't know if the author is going to interact here since this was published at another site, but thank you Chowk staff for bringing this here.

Vaibhav, vis-a-vis perceptions, how to appreciate differences, it is going to take a lot of time, but I wish you all the best! I thought the Delhi high court decision was a step in the right direction.

The White Rose Kulharee:

Well said!

The White Rose sattar:

man, I seriously don't think sidhu/nkg is concerned with that, as much as pointing out that "muslas are bad, and it don't matter what you say 'cause muslas are bad." *rolling eyes ikaan*

The White Rose nkg:

Re-read the story, and stop turning this into a debate about religion alone.

The White Rose Sidhu/nkg:

Let me ask you a question here. If the Patriarch of Constantinople, or better yet, the Pope has marked that all Christians except for Roman Catholics are non-Christians, do you think that makes them so?

Actually there are many denominations within Christianity that are considered "heretical" by the Roman Catholic church, as well as the Orthodox Church (and vice-versa). I can tell you that Baptists, Methodists, and the Mormons think of themselves as Christians no matter what the Catholic churches tell them. And over time (and after considerable spilling of blood centuries ago) no matter how different these denominations are in theology, they have learned to work on various things together, even if certain churches do not offer one another communion. Various religions are divided from the "one true church" in their faith, and they are not concerned what that body tells them they should be, is the point I'm trying to make here.

I think you need to stop harping on what the Saudis say, because no matter what YOU say, the Ahmadis are here to stay. This story is not about someone who is so concerned with the acceptance of the Saudis. It is about a man who had a lot more to deal with, and what he did with his life no matter what odds he had to face.

Some of us do understand that you are here more to disrupt, than to actually offer anything more thought-provoking, so maybe you should re-read this story.

GHQ Attack-Serious Questions Re: # 68

Aleph, how long did it take you to write that biting satire??? Agree with Che Gue here! Hope you have it stored besides this place for future self-amusement. :)

Hope all other serious questions are being "resolved".
