Bowman is correct, Ali pur ka ailii and alakh nagri are a world apart. Personally i think that ali pur ka aili is one of the most honest works on personal biographies in Urdu, ever. Like wise Alakh nagri spells out how the author goes through life and finds the profound Sufi.By the way Alakh nagri has more yukky things than just the banyan ,.. but then,.. isn't all that ''reality''
Yes and about the metaphysics and sufism, in QUS writing and then later mumtaz mufti, is some what of what one wishes to believe in. I am one to believe in SUFISM, it has had a great impact on the history of South Asia. There is a lot of hog wash going around in our society these days, but then there are some practicioners of this age old school of thought. I think a number of people did believe in Sufism in our society, however, coming in from the top most madarian of the day came as at a bit of shock for the intelligenisia. So much so that, people believe and quote the whole of Shahabnama on various issues and just shrug of the chapters on ''90'' and all the details on QUS visit to '''Bait ul Muqadas''.
"Allah does not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves" Quran 1311
