1. So my tourist guide in Udaipur, Farid, is immensely proud of Mewar's anti-Mughal heritage, especially Maharana Pratap's defiance of Mughal imperialism.
2. While showing us around Udaipur, Farid tells us that Udaipur is among d cleanest cities in India & credits Shri @narendramodi's Swachh Bharat campaign for it. He says d assembly election results in Rajasthan reflect d ppl's disappointment with local leaders,not @narendramodi
3. I ask Farid if he is comfortable visiting Temples. He says he has been having lunch in Temples for 25 years and visits Ek Lingji's Mandir everyday. He adds, his immediate family also believes in Jainism. He says many members of his community do not approve of them
4. Unlike the apocryphal stories of Radia's favourite journos, here's a picture of Farid. 
5. I have not shared what I think of his views. I am merely sharing what he's told me so far :-)
6. So I ask Farid what he thinks of Naseeruddin Shah's recent comments. He had this to say - "Ye Bollywood wale aaye din kuch na kuch Kehte rehte hain aur hum jaison ka jeena haraam karte hain. Maine to aaj tak koi discrimination mehsoos nahi kiya hai. Mai Bharat me mehfooz hun"
