A book on the forcible cremation of Muslim corona dead By Latheef Farook

About Author

Journalist and Author Latheef Farook’s Profile

Latheef Farook began his journalistic career with the now defunct Independent Newspapers in 1966 before joining the Lake House Group of newspapers in 1971 where he worked with the Ceylon Daily News and the evening daily Ceylon Observer covering local politics and foreign affairs besides finance and economic sectors.

Simultaneously working as the Sri Lankan correspondent for Middle Eastern news agencies following local response to developments in the Middle East, he also concentrated on economic developments in the international scene, especially in the developing world.

In 1976, Ceylon Daily News nominated him for the United Nations sponsored Dag Hammarskjöld scholarship for Third World journalists. In 1979, he led a group of ten Sri Lankan journalists to Dubai where he relaunched English language daily “Gulf News”.

A year later he joined the Khaleej Times where he covered for seven years almost every aspect of United Arab Emirates’ development program, besides covering the Indian elections of 1979, which brought Ms. Indira Gandhi to power. Rejoining the Gulf News in 1987 he worked as the Gulf News Bureau Chief in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia where he filed regular articles on the Gulf’s and Middle East’s sensitive political scenes, economy, finance, banking and social problems besides extensively interviewing visiting world leaders.

After almost a quarter century living and working in the Gulf, he returned home to Colombo in March 2003 where he began supplying feature articles on almost every aspect of Sri Lanka aimed at catering to Sri Lankan expatriates in the Gulf region, Europe, the Americas and the Far East. Hand in hand he also began writing books on the current local and international scenes. more
