Akbar's column
I regularly read M J Akbar's post editorial or column in The Daily Star. I would like to thank M J Akbar for his pragmatic, anti-fundamentalist, sympathetic, scholarly and smooth writings. He calls a spade a spade and advocates equal and deserving treatment for the Indian Muslims. The Indian Muslim population may even exceed the whole population of Bangladesh. His writings like 'Muslims need jobs not Iftar' etc and 'the truth: Gandhi is less of a draw than Jinnah'( DS -15.10.09) are eye openers as to peoples' psyche and longings. It seems that people love controversy, melodrama and theatricals more than benevolent non-violent activities as carried out by MK Gandhi.
I thank M J Akbar once again and wish that he will continue to enrich our knowledge with his writings.
