#Pakistan #Minorities #HumanRights old piece I wrote for my weekly columns for Daily Times. I explained how hate is enabled by the state, the ruling government and the political parties. With little done to stop the appeasement of extremists until today.

Heart wrenching to witness the immense loss of life.What's been happening in #Kurrem over last two decades is a tale of sorrow. During my active writing years,I covered Kurrem back in 2011/12. Some excerpt from my old articles, based on interviews I conducted for my peace education research in 2012.

My recent #poem on different paradoxes of life. I am convinced, we live in constant contradictions, and while one part wants desperately wants to break free, the other want to stay in consonance to what we expect within confines of a work. Gravity, and the natural reflex to pull away, as one eg.
