Had interacted with Shah Faisal in 2010-11 in a seminar. Even at that time it was the consensus among the participants and the audience that this person is using the IAS to gain a foothold in politics. It was just a matter of time. Good riddance.
Shah Faesal was writing separatist/secessionist stuff while remaining in pay roll of govt. His quitting IAS is good riddance. In my view,he should join the gang of stone throwers, that is where he belongs.
Shah Faesal had been writing separatist/secessionist stuff for quite some time while remaining in payroll of govt of India and govt wasn’t doing any thing about it. His quitting IAS is good riddance and in my view he should join the gang of stone throwers, that is where he belongs.
Shri Shah Faesal is a man of principle, writes beautiful English, with the sensitivity of a poet. As a topper of his batch and a rare Kashmiri Muslim in the IAS, he could have had the sort of career that Shri Wajahat Habeebullah did.

Not without wrenching moral compromises, either. Whatever the future holds for him, it requires courage and conviction to take the plunge at this stage, not after one has retired and seeks a second innings.
