My Take
What strikes me about Hamid Mir is sheer endurance. Hosting a political talk show on and off since 2002, and writing columns in both Urdu and English for national and international papers, takes a kind of stubborn courage in a place where speaking plainly carries real risk. I find the detail that he once played cricket oddly telling, as if he carried a competitor's instincts into the newsroom. The 2010 SAARC Literary Award feels less like a trophy than confirmation that he simply kept writing when it would have been easier to stop. I respect a voice that refuses to go quiet.
