He died last year. Till death, he was a Marxist.
He left his home and family to devote himself to serve the cause.
His last years were marked by disappointment over failure of the Movement of the Left in Pakistan. He died in depression.
He was a polymath. A poet, literary critic, film critic, singer, Tabla-player, playwright, debater, teacher/trainer/mentor. A true, sincere and honest friend.
Such were the persons and personalities that shaped the Movement of the Left in Pakistan.
But unfortunate is the fact they did not/could not create an intellectual capital, including Pashi.
He too spent the last quarter of his life working for the Punjabi language and literature.
