MARK COOPER STRONG FEELINGS FOR SAFETY OF CHUGHTAI MUSEUM;
ARCHERY EXPERT ALSO WISHES WOLVERHAMPTON TO MAKE MUSEUM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chughtai Museum is effort of father and son for nearly 100 years. Sixty years of Chughtai’s effort and decades of effort of his son. And ruthless politicians without even an iota of ideological wellbeing, aim to acquire rich properties at all costs. The land was bought by the artist in 1960, we got it cleared at great effort in 1997. From 2008 we face the wrath of a ruthless Government of Punjab. Instead of helping us in anyway, the plan to take our hard-earned property for NATIONAL GOOD remains there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistanis are least concerned about culture and museums. How many museums have come out in Pakistan? Most were made by the British. The ones that people tried to make were destroyed by bureaucracy, like the Fyzee Rahamin Museum in Karachi. So many galleries were destroyed too. Zubeida Agha’s efforts gone with the wind. Indus Gallery of Ali Imam no more in work. Moyene Najmi’s effort gone in vain. Only those have survived who came to terms with people in power to share the spoils of cultural war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
