About The Book:

Mirza Ghalib is a deeply insightful biography of the legendary poet Mirza Ghalib, penned by Sanchari Sen. Ghalib lived during a transformative period in Indian history—when the Mughal Empire was in its decline and the British colonial rule was beginning. He was also a witness to the 1857 revolt, which had a significant impact on both his life and his poetry.

The book delves into Ghalib's personal life, his poetic legacy, and the letters and diaries he wrote during the turbulent times of India's freedom struggle. Ghalib's nonconformist nature and his resistance to traditional norms are showcased vividly in this biography. His works in Urdu have left an indelible mark on the literary world, and this book captures the essence of his poetry and the intricacies of his life.

Sanchari Sen brings the fragrance and flavor of Ghalib's writings to life for Bengali readers, making this an essential read for those interested in Urdu literature and the life of one of the most revered poets of the Indian subcontinent.
