Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a collection of editorials and articles written by Faiz Ahmad Faiz, one of Pakistan's and South Asia's foremost poets and writers. The editorials were published in The Pakistan Times, of which daily national newspaper Faiz was editor from 1947 to 1951. The editorials reflect his deep insight into the political and social malaise that has gripped Pakistan from the time of Independence, and his views and analyses remain pertinent more than forty years on. The collection also includes interviews with Faiz by leading commentators and columnists such as Khalid Hasan, Mukhtar Zaman, I.A. Rahman etc.
