THE TALES OF TAXI DRIVERS

Zaffar Junejo, inspired by Muhammad Ibrahim Joyo, is compiling a collection of thirty-five stories about Karachi's taxi drivers from 1993 to 2000. Joyo suggested categorizing Junejo's diary entries by theme, referencing a similar initiative by the Sindhi journal Mehran in the 1950s that featured contributions from prominent scholars. Junejo's collection, drawing from five stories per year, aims to provide simple narratives that also reflect the complex socio-political and cultural landscape of Karachi during a turbulent period, offering insights into the city's dynamics through the eyes of its taxi drivers.
