It is better to have a better conversation in teaching society. And what can be better than literature. Who does not like to hear stories especially stories that are based on facts, are forced, and are concentrated, “Zubida Mustafa wrote in the introduction of a new novel titled Queen Zarka: a transgender of a transgender.
Words cover most of his quest and philosophy. The book, right now, talks about human contacts in the book released by Lightstone Publishers, Karachi, which he built all his life, and the steps he had taken.
When she went to meet Transar Bandia Rana a few two years ago, she took her ‘problem Halor’ Shama Askari to take notes. The military has long been associated with the Adab Festival of Amina Sayed, the founder of the Lightstone, along with the Thark-Neeswan of Shima Kurmani.
Launched at the Karachi Arts Council last Thursday, the translation of Queen Zarqa, Shamma, and the translation of Pashto novel Nanzak through Hia Rogani.
Zubeda began his career as a research officer at the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs in the 1960s, before he confronted his two daughters. Later, when she was looking for work in 1975, Daily Dawn editor Ahmed Ali Khan invited her to join the paper as Assistant Editor. The entry in this background described him as a longtime journalist Ghazi Salahuddin, who was also an assistant editor. Zubida was the first woman on the Dawn Newsroom and the Editorial Board.
Ghazi Salahuddin says, “He brought a new approach to his educational background.” This was the process of learning for both of us. Mrs. Mustafa encouraged colleagues to take things more seriously, ask more questions, dig deep. ”
He was addressing an intimate gathering for honor of Zubeda Mustafa in the Karachi apartment of our mutual friend, Jamil last week. Here is not a list of the list of people who joined Zubida APA or ZM to share their personal memories, as some have cited them. Many people reiterated that Zubeda lives through his work, ideas and adventures.
She had a large number of young women like me, who had entered journalism a decade later, which is a reflection of the changing time. The first culture of the previous culture was giving a way to mark through disagreement, iconoclasm and destructive capacity. With the oppressive policies of General Zia -ul -Haq’s military government, the women’s movement began in Pakistan. Inter -Astor was a passion for comedy. We were all together.
Star and Dawn’s editorial offices were on the same floor called Aaron House. The fictional Razia Bhatti, headed by the monthly Herald, was also present at the co -founder news line. Similarly, Urdu was a Daily Horith where the famous author Anwar Maqsood worked.
The star was amended by Imran Aslam – later the editor of The News, and the President of Geo TV. Zahra Yusuf led the Star Week End before “kicking up” during the Zia regime. Ofa Salam, the reporter of the game, Zafar Abbas, who was now with the Dawn editor, and experienced reporter Idris Bakhtiar, was on this news. We young people also cited Razia, Zohra and Imran under their first names. Idris Bakhtiar was “Idris Sahib”.
Zohra and Sunia Hussein, who then succeeded, were a large part of the women’s action forum. Compatriots like Zubeda and Razia strongly supported this goal in different ways. There was a growing consensus here that women’s voices should be highlighted in all parts instead of sending it to the “women’s page” as it was normal.
Zubeda proved his professionalism in many ways, at least by introducing regular health, career and entertainment parts. He was the most famous books and authors, for which he received the award in 2005 by the Pakistan Publishers and the Book Sellers Association.
The International Women’s Media Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Zubeda at 2012, four years after she left Dawn, she spoke globally.
Thinking about Zubeda, the words coming to mind are committed to integrity, courage, politeness, excellent human values and hopefulness.
Nevertheless, the administration ignored it when the time had come to appoint a new editor, in which he maintained the whole life -long mentality.
The IWMF has so far received only two Pakistanis, Zubeda and Razia. Razia received courage at the Journalism Award in 1994, awarded Canadian veteran reporter Kathy Gennan, an honorary Pakistani in 2002.
Zubeda retired from a 33 -year -old journalist in 2008. His eyes were deteriorating and he was involved in many reasons for education. She continued to write her regular columns, volunteering with reasons for education, and writing numerous books, in which her memory of My Dawn Airs: Exploring Social Issues (2008) and language -based cruelty in education: The problem of language and its solution to the language of Pakistan.
In 1986, she reached my mother, Zakia Sarwar, a training and development officer at the newly launched Aga Khan School of Nursing, who laid the foundation of the Society of Pakistan English language teachers in 1984. Zubeda became a spectacular supporter of Spell.
He also supported other NGOs related to education, such as Bella Raza Jamil’s Idra-Telem-O-AGAI, Sadiqa Salahuddin’s Indus Resource Center and Garage School, which was started by Shabina Mustafa to educate the poorest children in a Karachi neighborhood. All three, coincidentally, began at the same time more than 25 years ago.
Another non -profit that he endorsed was the Ali Hassan Mangi Memorial Trust, which was started by business journalist Navin Magi in Khairodero in Larkana District, which now serves more than 90 villages in the area. Is it coincidental that all these projects are started by women and are led by women?
After retiring, Zubeda volunteered at the garage school once a week. Shabina tells the story of a little boy who was constantly angry and interrupted. Although unable to see, Zubida realized that something was wrong there and took her to the doctor. The intervention changed the baby’s life – he was deaf. After being equipped with hearing aid, he changed overnight.
Despite being an English -language author, Zubeda firmly believes the importance of allowing children to learn in their native language. She shares Urdu text with students and looks for creative ways to engage in them. These include the theater experience, which he wrote in his last column for Dawn in March this year.
When the IRC working in Khairpur and other districts appealed to the people to donate a goat instead of sacrificing animals to people after the 2010 flood, Zubeda fully supported the idea. The tradition continues. Sadiq Apa says Zubeda’s check was “first to arrive every year.”
Due to its failure, Zubeda did not refrain from going to the project areas in Sindh and other places. His thirst for learning has begun to achieve Sindh in the past few years.
His “teacher” was Gori Leela Ram, a professor of physics in Karachi. No social media posts were allowed about the learning experience of this language, interestingly, with early childhood education, another issue was very interesting in Zubeda, at the other end of the spectrum. Gori also remembered Zubeda’s sense of humor and his laughter.
Thinking about Zubeda, the words coming to mind are committed to integrity, courage, politeness, excellent human values and hopefulness. Even a positive aspect was found to lose it – “I can focus better,” he told the author Samra Naqvi.
The last time I saw that Zubeda was at the Karachi Literature Festival in February this year, in a panel discussion on the heroes in the frames: Pakistani icons receive a graphic change, which showed prominent children’s books of the Oxford University Press Series, in which young readers were impressed. Artist and educationist Romana Hussein, who moderated the panel, wrote and gave an example of Zubeda’s characteristic, tells the story of his life.
I am glad that he was honored in his life. We need more positive.
It is also surprising to know about chatting with ‘dialogue book’, launched by its teenage colonial Alexandra Westerners in 2023, which contained 40 questions from Zubeda.
“I will print it in the book and tie myself, with my family, as well as send you a digital copy so that your words can touch people and shed light in their lives. From now on, even in 20 or 50 years, I am sure that the work you have done will affect this world.”
Amin. The book, considered as a personal project, is now under the publication of Lightstone.
Zubeda’s dream of educational reforms in Pakistan may be fulfilled.
