iFaqeer

AvatarTaking the guise of the poor, the dervishes, we, O Ghalib,
Watch the spectacle of the blessed; of power and pelf
—Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

بنا کر فقیروں کا ہم بھیس غالِب
تماشأے اہلِ کرم دیکھتے ہیں

banaa kar faqeeroN ka hum bhais Ghalib
thamaasha-e-ehl-e-karam dhaikthay haiN

Two Posts: One on Fanatics and Insurrections, One on an Artifact

Of late, I have been posting things on this blog and then cross-posting them on Eteraz.org and ProgressiveIslam.org. But a few moments ago, I posted something on Eteraz.org that started as a rant in the comments section of another post there. Do check it out if you get a chance.

The other post I want to invite folks over to read is a very different, cultural piece over at Pakistaniat.com titled, there, "Technology: Tribute to a Pakistani Artifact".
