Dawn/By Akhtar Balouch — 02/01/2016

"Legendary Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib had once suggested in one of his verses that he would like to see a Brahmin buried in the Ka'aba.

I don't know whether the Lund Baloch tribe of Mirpur Khas ever read Ghalib, but they partially fulfilled his wish by burying a Brahmin in their imambargah."
