What sad times we live in that we have to look to genius alone for inspiration. The misery of all those who live around the Durand Line is hard to see.
On the one hand are the murderous warlords who force people to grow poppy in some cases and sell it on at atrocious prices. On the other is the military might of the most powerful empire the world has known pushing them to stop such cultivation.
Add into the mix those thugs that pose as men of God, come to think of it, many so-called men of God have turned out to be thugs in disguise.
When will this end!! When will the Badshah come again, is the plaintive cry.
It is hard to understand that Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan actually lived in much rougher times in a very rough area of the world. This man fought the Brits as only a true "Mard" can; a battle of wills that left them pondering the hypocrisy of their empire.
This man used no guns, no virulent abuse, all he did as a Khudai Khidmatgar was help people. How can such men exist? If it is adversity that produces them, there should be 10 Badshah Khan's now.
My heart cries out for such great souls who by their mere being, make us all look good; even though they be tucked away in the musty pages of history.
