Abstract

Dr. Faseehuddin is an authentic and important name in contemporary Urdu column-writing. He has brought Urdu columnism to its peak with his tireless work and dedication. He served as a flag-bearer of column-writing at a time when literary column- writing in Pakistan was near extinction. He created a stir in Urdu column-writing with his intelligence and ingenuity, innovation, investigative skill and wit. His column writing is a beautiful combination of different colors and moods. At the same time, his style is very simple and the aptness of language captivates the readers. It is a Herculean task to be a torch-bearer of Shariah and mysticism in an atmosphere of worldliness. He is a fearless and courageous police officer. Where he attacks the negative attitudes of the public, he does not hesitate to speak the truth in front of oppressive generals, landlords, capitalists and politicians. He recurrently writes on sufism, social evils, political instability, religious hatred, terrorism, America's duplicitous policies, police issues, nepotism and bribery. The vastness of his topics has lent him a unique place among the columnists of the present time.
