Sahir Ludhianvi

In this extraordinary tribute to Bollywood’s finest poet, Sahir
Luahianvi (1921-1980), the veteran BBC journalist Raza Ali Abidi argues
that Sahir created some of the finest imagery of romance, patriotism,
philosophy and devotion to god for many Bollywood films. His
anti-establishment poetry gave voice to the weak and suppressed. He was
at his best, says Abidi, when it came to expressing the feelings of a
woman, her dedication to and rejection by her lover. In a programme
organised by the London based multi-faith organisation Roshani for
Harmony, Abidi, one of the finest broadcasters of Urdu language,
presents this talk in his inimitable style.
