My @NewYorker essay on the Roman poet Vergil (P. Vergilius Maro, 70 - 19 BCE), the most influential writer in the European tradition for 19 centuries, on the anniversary of his death:

At 92, Gulzar writes with the same discipline that's helped him refine & reinvent his art decade after decade - building an enormous body of work known for its tenderness.

This summer, I spent time with him at his Mumbai home for this @nytimes profile:

Excellent new article on human-jinn marriage. Yousef Aly examines Shāfiʿī jurisprudence on human-jinn marriage as a window into how they understood legal personhood and adjudicated questions of evidence and responsibility.

Carlo Ginzburg inspired generations of historians to think critically about language, archives, & the people in relation to history and historiography of the medieval and the early modern world. We are immensely indebted!

Read his words here! RIP, Carlo! https://t.co/FNonXidLAf

Walter Benjamin aspired to be “the foremost critic of German literature,” but his real talent was for grasping the richness and complexity of vernacular culture.

This picture that Raghu Rai took of Arundhati Roy somewhere in Delhi is a masterpiece that captures what I would call “the male gaze”.

When I published this piece three days ago, I hoped it might reach a few thousand people. A million of you read it. Ministers, ambassadors, journalists, students, traders in Karachi, doctors in Chicago, teachers in Lahore, accountants in London. Thank you for reading it, sharing it, arguing about it, and most of all for seeing yourselves in it. Pakistan deserved a proper introduction to the world. You made sure it got one.

Ahmad Javaid has written a great article on the postmodernist ("maabaa'd jadiidiat") epistemology in Urdu (English translation link below), mentions not only Foucault, Derrida, etc but also covers every major figure, from Descartes to Heidegger :

Sebald on Nabokov:

“One of Nabokov’s main narrative techniques is to introduce, through barely perceptible nuances and shifts of perspective, an invisible observer—an observer who seems to have a better view not only than the characters in the narrative (1/3)

Recently I had an opportunity to read Yagana Changezi, a poet I had not paid much attention to earlier. Leafing through his divan, Ayaat-e Vijdani, I found many beautiful verses:
Falak ne bhulbhulaiyan men daal rakha tha
ham unko dhondte ya apni justaju karte

فلک نے بھول بھلیاں میں ڈال رکھا تھا
ہم ان کو ڈھونڈتے یا اپنی جستجو کرتے

My observations:
1. Iran has won the WAR. Negotiations will be on Iran's 10 points framework for permanent peace.
2. Iran's terms will be accepted by Trump. Why? Will explain.
3. With this WAR, the hegemonic age is over: No followers, only partner nations. India will be the sole exception in the world.
4. Pakistan has emerged as more than a credible mediator - a geopolitical asset in the New World Order.
I will explain the above in my video to be online by today (Wednesday April 8) evening!
