4 weeks ago | pakobserver.net | Mir Mansoor

A few days back, I met one of my friends over a cup of tea. As usual, our conversation began with books and ended with writers who explore Sufism in contemporary times. Without any shadow of doubt, I have always found my friend to be a voracious reader—one who has immersed himself deeply in the works of mystics, both among Orientalists and Occidental scholars. I urged him to write something thoughtful on subject of Sufism.

But what we saw following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, where Indian talk shows turned into makeshift war rooms within minutes is worth unpacking… if for nothing else, then for the headache that I, and I assume many like me, got after carefully monitoring the news reports coming out of there for two consecutive days.
