Khalil’s team in Lahore sends him a selection of daily news which he then uses his editorial judgement to pick, angle and handwrite into an article. The articles are then scanned and sent back to Lahore where they are typed out and resent to Khalil. The final assembled paper is then sent to a printer in Long Island City. PHOTOS: PURVI THACKER

Wonderful story. Congratulations to Purvi Thacker and to the newspaper for publishing it. For years, I have off and on seen the website of this US-based Urdu newspaper. Someone needed to tell the story, and you have done it very well.
The article has brilliantly brought out the industrious and hardworking gene in the us citizens of Asian origin.The writer has literally crafted a biography on the newspaper in the us ,garnished by apt pictures.The article is crisp and has brought out the facts with a blend of classic prose and modern lingo. Kudos
