Karachi Literature Festival Remembers Ibne Safi



Literary fraternity at last recognizes Ibn e Safi. The occasion is 3rd   Karachi Literature Festival 2012. In session titled “ THE RE BIRTH OF IBN-E-SAFI, Sher Shah Syed, Khalid Jawed, Shakeel Adilzada and Ahmad Safi paid tributes to legendary author.
I personally think that ibn e Safi phenomenon  was never dead and people never lost touch with his writing, so the talk about his re birth is just another cliché of the literature fraternity, which means nothing but a face saving one for them.

Karachi Literature Festival

The second Karachi Literature Festival ended today, for me the highlight was the address by Karen Armstrong where she very lucidly spoke about compassion and the ego that comes in the way of compassion.
