Dear awaisaftab; Thanks for the website link.
I would appreciate if anyone of you please link the website where I can find "Witness to Blunder" by Colonel Ashfaq Hussain or its Urdu version "Gentlemen AstaghfarAllah Saniha Kargil Kay Asal Haqaiq".
Thanks
It is a matter of pleasure for me that atleast one person is here who have keen interest in urdu literature.
Dear Toronto boy I will try my best to find those books on net that u want to read.
Many members of the forum belong from Karachi and I have heared from my cousine, who lives in Karachi, that 1 paper of urdu is also included in B.Com syllabus of Karachi University. Hence, I were expecting a good response. As well as people of Lahore also much interested in the literature. Almost 70% Pakistani writers and poets of urdu belongs from lahore. But it is general perception k Islamabad wale to khusk Mizaj hote hain.

Dear awaisaftab
There was a time in Karachi when people were engaged in literary activities, at-least in terms of reading. Then arround early to mid 80's, when VCRs came into picture, people diverted toward movies. At the same time market for digests flourished all over the country. Books also became expensive. Political scenario of Karachi since mid to later 80s also attracted youths attention toward other activities. So, I don't think many people read books these days due to several other causes.
I know Urdu as a subject is a part of BSc/Bcomm/BA curriculum of Karachi University, but most of the students pass courses just to have a piece of paper (i.e. degree), which is required to have a good job, and the ultimate goal is shadi.
By the way, I have lived my entire life in Karachi before moving to Canada.

You are absolutely right. Urdu is compulsory for BA/B.SC and B.Com the majority popolation of karachi is urdu speaking as well but the contrubution of karachi in urdu literature is not suit to its population and ethnic combination.
