Josh: Shaair-e-Inqalaab-o-Insaaniyat

Few poets in Urdu literature reflect defiance, intellect and humanism as powerfully as Josh Malihabadi. Often called the “Poet of Revolution,” his voice rose against oppression, orthodoxy and injustice, while celebrating the dignity, freedom and unity of humankind. This session explores Josh not just as a poet, but as a thinker whose poetry transcended boundaries of religion, nation and ideology. Rooted in a deep commitment to secular humanism, his work challenged conformity and called for a more just and enlightened society. ● About the Speaker: » Amjad Nazeer is a dedicated social and public policy researcher, as well as a human and environmental rights defender.
