Adaab...

I have just been invited to contribute to this blog. I maintain a personal--or should I say personal/political--blog at http://iFaqeer.blogspot.com. The motto of that blog is:

banaa kar faqeeroN ka hum bhais Ghalib
thamaasha-e-ehl-e-karam dhaikthay haiN
or
Taking the guise of the poor, the dervishes, we, O Ghalib,
Watch the spectacle of the blessed; with power and pelf
(of course, from Chacha, Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib)

One item I posted a little while back on my blog was a translation of a piece by a progressive writer from Delhi. You can read it at: http://ifaqeer.blogspot.com/2005/01/of-oppressors-and-oppressed.html

Hope readers will like that.
