Edhi – Pakistan’s Brutally Honest Humanitarian

via news.ncmonline.com

Edhi Sahib is indeed an oddity. He has won many national and international awards for his humanitarian work amongst the poor and destitute not only in Pakistan but far beyond. He must have been considered for the Nobel Prize by now, and if not, surely he is being overlooked. He is a simple man with many controversial ideas about social reformation and behavior patterns of many groups in Pakistan. Just spending a few minutes with him will grimly remind one of the very true and sometimes horrible realities of life. In short he is brutally honest and very insightful.
