[Reader-list] Fwd: Myths, Mangoes and ordered houses - re: 10 myths about pakistan

[taraprakash]

Sorry Ghalib. Even we want you to sleep peacefully in your grave. We can say 
for sure that you wouldn't have liked the idea of Pakistan at the time of 
partition "You wouldn't have liked to go "Dilli ki galiyaan chod ke" leaving 
Delhi streets behind. Some of us also know that you wouldn't attribute your 
sher quoted below to a discussion about Pakistan and Talliban. This was your 
actual sher

Iman mujhe roke hai
Jo khinche hai udhar kufr,
Kaba mere piche hai, kalisa mere aage.
 (the faithe stops me when heresy attracts me. Kaba is behind me and the 
church in front."
