#PeerTalks with Leena Hashir   (Urdu)

Leena Hashir is a known columnist and blogger. For her, writing was a process of self-discovery. She emerged on the scene a few years ago with her own blogging site. With time, as her lighthearted and satirical pieces gained popularity, she joined the Samaa TV network and started contributing her blogs to their Urdu website. She also wrote for the Saach TV website during that time. At a later stage, she joined Humsub. 

Leena started with writing satires but gradually shifted her focus to highlight the tragic state of society. Her rendition has been heart-wrenching and touched the most sensitive chords. Her column on the killing of Aneeqa Khalid by her father just because she could not make her around bread highlighted the cruel face of our society. The column became enormously popular. A short film was made on that column that got a lot of critical accolades.   

Then came her column on “khawaja saraa ka marney key baad apni maa ko khat”. The column was published on Humsub and broke all records. On the very first day of its publication, 100,000 read it on the website alone. It's sharing on Facebook was like a jungle fire. It was shared so many times that Facebook thought of it as spam and blocked it only to open it later realizing their misunderstanding. Its text sharing on YouTube crossed one million views in three days. According to a safe estimate, nearly 3 million readers have read it on social media and it has been appreciated globally. It is by far the most popular column in the history of Pakistan print and electronic media.  A film is currently underway based on this very column.    

Leena Hashir is one of the most popular names on social media and her contribution to bringing to light the most sensitive issues has made quite an impact. She has succeeded in changing how people perceive and think about the marginalized sections of society. For her, that is what writing is all about.

#PeerTalks on The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD, also known as the Quad)  

Peer Syed Mudassir Shah and Nameera Raja discussed the QUAD and its impacts on Pakistan  

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD, also known as the Quad) is an informal strategic dialogue between the United States, Japan, Australia, and India maintained by talks between member countries. The dialogue was initiated in 2007 by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan, with the support of Vice President Dick Cheney of the US, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia, and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India. The dialogue was paralleled by joint military exercises of an unprecedented scale, titled Exercise Malabar. The diplomatic and military arrangement was widely viewed as a response to increased Chinese economic and military power, and the Chinese government responded to the Quadrilateral dialogue by issuing formal diplomatic protests to its members.

Peer Syed Mudassir Nazar Shah with Yaqub ibn Yusuf, The Mystic Bookseller of  Jerusalem.  

Yaqub ibn Yusuf was born Joshua Heckelman into a warm and traditional Conservative Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York.  

He explains; In my early 20s I pursued spiritual studies with Reb Zalman Schachter in Winnipeg, Canada, There I discovered "the archetype of the Tzaddiq", the inner and outer figure of the spiritual master in the Hasidic teachings of Rebbe Nahman. Following that through, I came to Israel in 1976 looking for a spiritual teacher and became the disciple of Sidi Sheikh Muhammad al Jemal on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem. From Sidi I received my Arabic name, recalling my Jewish father and grandfather. For seven years I followed Sidi's Islamic Sufi teachings and practices, but I couldn't get past the sense that he expected me to embrace Islam as a religion, although Judaism is my religion. I discovered the more broad-minded the world of Turkish Sufism and I studied, for many years, with Murat Yagan in western Canada - and I put together a book of his oral teachings which I've shared with various groups, over years: 'The Essence of Sufism in the Light of Kebzeh, the Teachings of the Caucasus Mountains. I later made a connection with a Turkish teacher of the Way of Blame of Melamet, Baba Selim Ocik, who lived in Istanbul. I came back to Israel in 1990 to pursue the academic study of Kabbalah and Hasidism with Prof. Moshe Idel. I found myself at home in the multi-faceted world of Jerusalem. In 1997 I opened Olam Qatan, based on the Kabbalistic saying, "Everyone is a 'microcosm'". My idea was to open doors for all kinds of spiritual seekers, religious and secular, Jewish, and people from other religions. For the last three years, I've down-scaled from a brick-and-mortar bookstore to a bookstall at Jerusalem's "First Station". I'm working on several projects of Hasidic and Sufi books
