Zia Mohyeddin's long and illustrious career is hardly a secret. But one of his most remarkable achievements is the smashing of the idol called Zulfiqar Ali Bukhari. Bukhari -- one of the earliest voices on Indian airwaves -- was mentor to an entire generation. He gave them solid grounding in thinking about the relationship of Urdu, sound and technology. Zia Mohyeddin too counted himself among Bukhari's admirers, and rightly so.
