Answer:
Abdul Ahad Azad
Abdul Ahad Azad (1903-1948) was a well known Kashmiri poet of the twentieth century. He was one of the pioneers of modernist movement and the first revolutionary socialist poet of Kashmiri literature. He belongs to the famous Dar tribe of Kashmir. He was one of the most explicitly political and nationalist poet of the Kashmiri literature. But Azad’s nationalist attitude is tempered by his socialism. Azad was a Marxist and also wrote one of the most influential literary histories of Kashmir in Urdu language, Kashmiri Zabaan aur Shaeri (1984). He was also closely associated with the progressive strand of the Kashmir nationalist movement in 1940.
Many literary critics of Kashmiri literature like Avtar Krishan Rehbar (1997), Trilokinath Raina (2002) and Naaji Munawwar (1998) unanimously estimate the two poets (Mahjoor and Azad) as harbingers of a sort of renaissance in Kashmiri poetry.
It will not be erroneous, perhaps, to suggest that at first sight Abdul Ahad Azad looks like a tiny current arising from the stream of Mahjoor’s poetry. In fact, much of his earlier poetry bears the colour and tone of Mahjoor’s romantic songs both in context and style. However, notwithstanding his indebtedness to his elder contemporary, Azad successively attained an estimable individuality as a Kashmiri poet.
According to Prem Nath Ganju (1987) and Chaman Laal Chaman (1979) two distinctive qualities which make Azad prominent as a perceptive intellectual and a powerful creative talent are: first, enjoying inspiration from Mahjoor and Iqbal both, he treated of the action-urging thought of his poems as the most dominant features of his radically untraditional poetry, and allowed that feature to take the central position amidst all his later poetic outpourings; and secondly, proceeding a few steps forward from Mahjoor’s pure and simple patriotism, Azad expresses not only his egalitarian views and his ardent belief in an all-embracing equality of men but also stresses the need for a socialistic, classless and universal pattern of human society. As such he established himself as the very first Kashmiri poet representing overwhelmingly three tendencies, namely, action urging, egalitarianism and social equality, synthesizing all the three into a single dominant and distinctive note of his later poetic utterance.
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
Hashmi writes in his Preface, "Being a psychiatrist is an advan-tage since we are used to peering beneath the surface of things and I was also very keen to write about the human side of Faiz. I paid close attention to the events in his life which were emotionally significant, like his father's death at a young age, his brother's death while he was in prison, his family life and his pain at the thought of his family suffering because of his political stance. Yet, I don't think the book 'pysochoanalyzes' Faiz and it is most definitely not a psychological analysis' of his life or work but if the reader does find some 'psychological nuances' in the book, it is because that is what I do every day so some of it may have seeped in."
Love and Revolution brings to the fore different aspects of this multi-faceted man: activist for human rights and civil liberties, journalist and editor of newspapers and literary magazines, trade unionist, film lyricist, founder of public and cultural institutions, and, of course, one of the most powerful poetic voices to have emerged from South Asia. Beginning with the author's sharpest memory of his illustrious grandfather - his death and funeral in November 1984 and the mass frenzy it created in Lahore - the book tells the story of Faiz's tumultuous life in an almost anecdotal manner. Faiz has written compellingly on events that have shaped the destiny of the Indian sub-continent. There is, of course, his haunting elegy to the partition where he refers to the much-awaited dawn of freedom as a 'night-bitten dawn' in 'Yeh daagh daagh ujala, yeh shab-gazida seher'. The most honest rebuttal of the two nation theory and the atrocities unleashed in what later became Bangladesh also came from his pen in 'Dhaka se wapsi par'.
The penetration of Faiz's words and ideas into the popular imagination can possibly be gauged by the fact that even over three decades after his death, his words are being used and appropriated by different groups for different purposes. Protestors, be they University teachers or students, chant 'Bol ke lab azaad hain tere, Bol zubaan ab tak teri hai.'. Pacifists still sing 'Sipahai ka marsiya' and those disenchanted with systems of governance still find refuge in 'Zard patton ka ban jo mera des hai, dard ji anjuman jo mera des hai?'
