Twists and biases: Aslam Azhar by Javed Jabbar





Although it is good to remember Aslam Azhar yet you can find twists in the article too. read and check it yourself. Why he did not mention his ideology and ethnicity looks strange
Twists of Javed Jabbar. If we have such biased intellectuals then we don't need enemies. He wrote about respected Aslam Azhar but smartly missed his place of birth, education at center model school and government college.
Had aslam Azhar born at bulandSher or Lucknow or Bihar, Mr javed jabbar must mention it. Born in Lahore in September 1932, as a son of a government servant in the British India, he traveled to different places in the subcontinent. He still remembers his teacher Ghulam Nabi Butt of the Central Model School. “A beautiful teacher, he took me as a little boy and turned me into a man.” His eyes were misty when he talked about his teacher. Aslam Azhar's father made sure he read good books, as his outstanding performances in Government College, Lahore's debating and dramatics helped him in setting up television. With Alhamra Theatre strong in Lahore in those days, he convinced Ashfaque Ahmed, Bano Qudsia and Dr Anwar Sajjad to write for television. Faiz Ahmed Faiz, his favourite poet, became his friend too. Surrounded by legendary literary figures and great actors, musicians and singers, Aslam Azhar created an environment where the great artists prospered and found satisfaction.
