A single person doesn’t represent a language. This is equal to same claim as some people say/ believe that Altaf Hussain = Urdu speaking community.

I don’t think that Faiz was wrong, but he didn’t come up with proper examples how Urdu literature of that time had covered all classes of society. The interviewer should have courage to counter argue, but as mentioned in the article it was his first major interview and he was being sent without taking the interview by the lady who arranged the interview, so the poor fellow might have compromised in raising such questions.

PS: Where did I say that Urdu literature was of lower class or something like that in my posts. Did I say Urdu is incapable to cover any topic or any issue related to any class? If that had been my intention, I would not have quoted Urdu works which catered rural class, post 1980.

diplomatic answer… I would rather say its a contradiction…
