Glimpses of Manzur Ijaz Interview and few more things
Manzur Ijaz, a prominent figure in Pakistan's Punjabi left-wing movement, passed away on March 30, 2025, at the age of 79. Despite his demise, his legacy will live on through his writings, talks, and activist work including Wichaar,com. 
Born alongside Pakistan, Manzur Ijaz's life was a testament to his unwavering commitment to social justice and equality. His contributions to the left-wing movement are a reminder of the power of activism and the importance of challenging the status quo. For those interested in learning more about Manzur Ijaz's life and work, there are glimpses of his interview with the left journal Awami Jumhori Forum, Lhore, published in May 2009. Additionally, links to reporting and clips of Mukh Wakhali (2019) featuring his autobiography, offer further insights into his life and experiences. Notably, Prof Azizuddin, Prvaiz Rasheed, Qazi Javed, and others shared their views on his work and legacy.

Manzur Ijaz also appeared on the LoK Lhar show in 2016, where he discussed the basic flaws in Pakistan's literacy narrative. His thoughts on this topic remain relevant today, highlighting the need for continued critical examination and reform.
