Being a Bengalee and not educated enough to be an Urdu connoisseur , I miss many nuances of Urdu shayries as a rule.But still this introduction of Sahir Ludhianvi has been an eyeopener for me.Sahir's innate secularism , empathy for the downtrodden reminds me of a Bengali great poet , lyricist , composer, music trainer, magazine editor etc etc —Nazrul Islam.All his creations are in Bangla ana regretably India as a whole is hardly aware of his existence.One time editor of a communist mag , he was dear to Bengali heart -be it Hindu or Muslim —He composed both Islami and Shyama Sangeets (songs for mother Kali).In these days of communal enmity which is being encouraged apoarently everywhere ,we need to have both of them among us .

Sahir: The Jadugar, an excellent commentary on the literary life and legacy of Sahir.
