Mullah Nasruddin Nasruddin (Nasreddin)
(Najamuddin Ghanghro, Karachi(original from Larkana))
Mullah Nasruddin Nasruddin (Nasreddin)
lived in Anatolia, Turkey; he was born in Hortu Village in Sivrihisar,
Eski_ehir in the 13thcentury, then settled in Ak_ehir, and later in Konya, where
he died (probably born in 1209 CE and died 1275/6 or 1285/6 CE)[6][9], As
generations went by, new stories were added, others were modified, and the
character and his tales spread to other regions. The themes in the tales have
become part of the folklore of a number of nations and express the
national imaginations of a variety of cultures. Although most of them depict
Nasreddin in an early small-village setting, the tales (like Aesop's
fables) deal with concepts that have a certain timelessness. They purvey a pithy
folk wisdom that triumphs over all trials and tribulations. The oldest
manuscript of Nasreddin was found in 1571.
