(Ismat Chughtai)
was a feminist by instinct, long before it was fashionable
to be one, a progressive who knew that literature
changed more lives than pamphlets did, a Muslim
who worshipped a Shivmurti in Varanasi, palms outstretched,
chanting Koranic verses aloud. She took real risks
in both life and literature.
