Re: Faiz - A controversial interview
calm down pal. you read in article above that the questions seemed controversial to the lady who arranged for the interview, but Faiz Saheb encouraged question and not belittle the young journalist on the context of ethnic hatred, etc.
I don’t find any hatred in his questions. Sufi thoughts are not outdated and you probably missed the point that poets like Shah Latif and Waris Shah promoted characters like Sassi, Marvi and Heer. This is not the discussion here and we can have a separate for bashing Sufis and their writing (including their thoughts against women).
Works of poets like Meer, Ghalib and Iqbal are known in urban areas more and common men in rural areas knows names of these poets but not to the extent of sufi poets like Waris Shah, Rahman Baba, etc
you number the questions and i will discuss each question with you one-by-one…
you know only sassi and heer about sufism i will show you other things… even it is outdated and stupid things when a sufi compares sassi as human with Punu as God.
