Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (12 January 1936 – 7 January 2016), has been obituried to death by Indian media – Suave, Democrat, Bridge builder, Nationalist, Man of all seasons, etc. etc. We were bored. And then we remembered Mir Suhail, in our opinionated head, the best cartoonist in the game in this part of the world. So why not let you view Late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed from his turf of India Occupied Kashmir
