In the early fifties when he was sent to the United Nations as a delegate of Pakistan, his speeches reflected his eloquence and profound awareness of crucial international problems.

He won the distinction of being recognized as the distinguished spokesman of the Third World. Before taking charge, Bukhari accompanied Hamerskjold on an important mission to China to secure the release of US Air force staff captured after an incident. While carrying out the routine talks, he successfully coordinated between the two sides to remove pre-existing doubts and to establish the credibility of the United Nations.

Even when he was in this top position surrounded by the elite, he still wanted to return to the world of academics and literary works. He had planned to write a comprehensive book about the transformation of theatre and drama in South Asia as a co-venture with Syed Imtiaz Ali Taj.

What is more unfortunate about his death is that he died in America and his dead body was not brought to his country.

He was as fine a critic as a creative writer. One of Prof. Anwar Shabnam Dil, has published a massive collection of his speeches and writings in English.

His book entitled On This Earth Together , is one of the most welcome gifts of the current year.
