      <image:title>Blog - Seeking Forgiveness</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tawbah, the Arabic word for repentance, is a key part of Islamic teachings. A person who fails to seek forgiveness from a person they've wronged in this life is liable to have to settle matters before embarking unto the next one. That's why it's important for me to try and right my wrongs (no matter how slight) against others while I can in this life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Valuing our Pluralism</image:title>
      <image:caption>My great-grandfather, M.S.Ghani Wasti was a citizen of the fabled state of Patiala before Partition. His closest friends included Hindus, Sikhs, Sunnis, Shiites and Christians. One of British India's greatest Shakespearean scholars, the pluralistic world he knew was torn asunder by the events of Partition. Will Donald Trump do the same to our beloved country?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My maternal grandmother, shown here with her sisters-in-law, was one of Kashmir's most beautiful women. Partition led to her family fleeing to Lahore, Pakistan. She died suddenly from heart failure at 25. She never saw the Vale of Kashmir again after Partition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Valuing our Pluralism</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Pluralism Project was originally an idea that my Pakistani maternal grandfather, S.M.K. Wasti had thought of in order to train and educate community organizers to run for office in his native Pakistan. His idea was met with fierce opposition by his fellow One Percenters in the country he helped to found.</image:caption>
