Comment on Was the Russian Revolution a Marxist revolution? by Tim Wise: Frankfurt School Marxist « Toiletnation, USA

Tim Wise: Frankfurt School Marxist « Toiletnation, USA — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:25:14 +0000

[...] Russia’s revolution in 1917 broke some of the rules, as it jumped from fiefdom over capitalism str… or some brutal semblance of it (called “War Communism.”) Lenin and his ilk claimed it was possible because the education and evolving consciousness of the masses had outstripped the development of the economy and, thus, some compromise was going to be needed, intellectually. This breaking of the rules of Marxist revolutionary progression, by the way, is a popular excuse among Leftists as to why the Soviet State failed. The superconscious/subconscious cultural and organizational groundwork necessary for socialism wasn’t laid properly, as capitalism never flourished in Russia. Thus, the USSR was doomed to fail. This is what they say, anyway. [...]

In 1967 I was B.Sc. student in Gordon College Rawalpindi. Khawaja Masud used to teach us Mathematics. His elder son Yaldram was in same class and used to be my practical partner in the Physics Lab. So I was very close to Khawaja Masud. He was a very good teacher and very humble human beeing. God bless his soul.

During 1972-74, he used to teach us Mathematics in B.Sc. His period used to be the first and I used to come from Kahuta by bus, a journey of about one and ahalf hour which often resulted in late coming. I remember and still recall the class room where during his lecture on “Calculus” and explaining the concept of “limit” of a function when it tends to zero (Limit d(y)/d(x) when d(x) tends to zero), he exampled Iqbal’s beautiful verse:
“Aalam-e-soz-o-saaz mein wasl sey barhh kar hai firaque
Wasl mein marg-e- aarzoo, hijr mein lazzat-e-talab”.

Comment on Dr. Ghalib Khan Lodhi (1930-2012) – A personal memoir by Eric Rahim by A H Nayyar

Thank you very much for a very fine article on Dr. Ghalib Lodhi. The last parts of it, especially his transformation in terms of religion, were new to me. I, and all my siblings, used to call him Ghalib MamooN because of his close friendship with our maternal uncle Dr. Manzoor Ahmed before Dr. Ghalib moved to England. When he returned, Dr. Manzoor Ahmed had been affected by dementia. I am told that Dr. Ghalib regularly visited Dr. Manzoor Ahmed in spite of the latter’s incapacity to recognise anyone, or to hold a meaningful conversation.
While a student in London in the late sixties and early seventies, I also became a recipient of his compositions, photocopies of essays hand-written in a beautiful calligraphic style. For a day I was his guest in Bradford, where I witnessed his frugal way of living.
So, thank you Eric Rahim saheb for remembering a person really worth remembering.
