Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, (Pride of Performance), (Sitara-e-Imtiaz) (Urdu: احمد ندیم قاسمی) (November 20, 1916 – July 10, 2006) was a legendary Urdu language Pakistani poet, journalist, literary critic, dramatist and short story author. With some 50 books of poetry, fiction, criticism, journalism and art to his credit, Qasmi was a major figure in contemporary Urdu literature. His poetry stood out among his contemporaries' work for its unflinching humanism, and Qasmi's Urdu afsana (short story) work is considered by some second only to Prem Chand in its masterful depiction of rural culture. He also published and edited the prestigious literary journal Funoon for almost half a century, grooming generations of new writers.
I have come across a short biography of this great figure of Urdu Adab and thought it should be shared with you, the lovers of Urdu literature. Here you go. Your comments will be waited.
Thank you and best wishes!!!
