In conversation with literary critic Mandira Nayar, Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s daughter artist-author Salima Hashmi speaks to The Tribune about the life-long mohabbat between her parents, Faiz’s politics, poetry and life in Pakistan. Born in Delhi, Salima also recalls her earliest memories of Partition, living through the Zia regime and the ‘family business’ of being arrested. An advocate for peace between India and Pakistan, she talks about how technology has allowed people to talk across borders and why her father believed that hopes of peace rest with Pakistani women or rather women the world over, as they always speak the truth despite bearing the brunt of infamy.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
