Ahmedis, particularly, came under great fire. The idea that every dissenter, thus, is ‘vaajib-ul-qatal’ (liable to be killed) came to me the first time through the writings of Ishtiaq Ahmed. Make no mistake about it, his circle of influence wasn’t small. True, that none of the girls in my elitist-ish school were reading him but boys from equivalent schools certainly were, and we know those are the ones whom brainwashing affects directly (though it is not any less hazardous in women). My brother, i remember, once asked me to give him my collection of Ishtiaq Ahmed novels, to take to America for a homesick friend of his. His influence ranged far and wide.
