KARACHI: Prominent scholar and TV show host Obaidullah Baig passed away early Friday morning in Karachi, Express News reported.
Baig, of game show Kasauti fame, will be laid to rest following funeral prayers offered at Sultan Masjid in Defence phase V, today.
He leaves behind a wife and three daughters.
The scholar gained popularity in the 1970s when his show Kasauti, teamed with Ghazi Salauddin, was aired on PTV.
A great loss,he was an articulate and intelligent man.May his family find strength in this time of loss.
But have to wonder with the use of the word ‘Transition’. Transition to what?? Why push religious dogma through words.What if there is no transition to anything,if death is like going to sleep.Subtle,subliminal promotion of religious ideology is disappointing.

It’s indeed an irreparable loss to the literary circles and the media in our country. Obaidullah Baig was a great scholar and renowned intellectual and novelist. He was a literary genius.He was humble and down to earth person. His famous TV programme Kasuti gave him immense popularity and fame. Teamed up with Ghazi Salahudin and Qureshpur, he has left indeligble memories of this wonderful programme. In a country like Pakistan where we already find a dearth of such scholars, his death is a great loss to us.
May his soul rest in peace!

Mr. Obaidullah Baig was a great scholar who inspired a generation with with his knowledge on various subjects during two periods when ‘ Kasuti’ was shown on Pakistan Television. People would eagerly wait for this program, so that their learning and knowledge would increase. May Allah give highest honour in Jannah and solace to his wife and children to bear this loss

This is indeedd a great losss. “OB” to a a lot of scholars and researchers, the gentleman was a giant in this age of medicrity.
@ET, please change the headline, the term “TV Show Host” does not even begin to describe the scholar, intellectual, writer and researcher that the legendary Obailullah Baig sahib was.
