Please shed your hatred and stop poisoning young minds. What do you eat maaan, to have such ahtred filled heart and mind? Grow up, u immature, senile nincompoop. Let us all live in harmony and think of India's progress!
For the information of those inane messagers here on rediff devoid of any literary intellect whatsoever, Qurrat-ul-ain Hyder was one of the finest urdu, and in fact , one of the finest writers of the subcontinent in the 20th century. she wrote many many novels, most famous of which is 'aag ka darya' an epic which starts from 400 b.c and concludes at the time of partition, she translated it in english herself with the title of 'river of fire;' most of her novels deals with strong souls broken amidst the partition. she migrated to pakistan after 47, but saddened by the corrupt and self-serving autocracy of pakistan, she went back to india soon after.
if yes, that's a good thing. it is impossible to have definitive substantive discourse in urdu, a language-culture designed more to miscommunicate.
well, i didn't get much out of this obituary excpet illustrated weekly had a part time paki lover screening hindu letter writers for publishing. now that would be a bad thing, a real bad thing, no?

Dear Pradip with all due respect to your erudite observations, let me tell you that Urdu is an Indian language and not a Muslim language. Urdu, which itself was derived from varied languages,is a true representative of the multi cultural traditions of India. Further the so called Hindi movies are actually using Urdu written in devanagri script.I don't understand why people tend to disown a language which is rightfully ours (and not of Pakistan which itself is nothing but minor blurr in world history, and is bound to get back to where it belonged i.e. India, as it is unable to sustain itself). This beautiful language was usurped by the Pakistanis, but this should not prevent us from giving it's due place in the Indian society.

Don't know much.. but the "River of Fire" starts from the Ancient Indian period and ends at present time. Its not totally 'feudalistic', as Mr Mukherjee puts it.

Did you read his work? I have not.
I have read Sunil Ganguly and Bimal Mitra's works. Some of their novel deal with decaying feudalism. Even Sunil's Sha-e Shamoy and Hathat Alo deal with bygone hindu culture -- feudalism and leisure. But again they are novels based on historical events. I do not know anything about the urdu writer, I cannot even pronounce his name. I think I should shut up.
