Kumār Pāshī

KUMAR PASHI is the pen name of Shankar Dutt Kumar (1935-1992) who was born in Bahawalpur, in what is now Pakistan, and spent his life in Delhi. An employee at a hospital, he emerged as a prominent voice among the Urdu poets of the modernist generation.

Kumar Pashi, renowned progressive poet of Urdu, was basically a poet of Nazm. But he did write Ghazals as a change of taste, occasionally.

He was amongst the few remaining non-Muslim poets in the movement of modernist poetry, as Urdu was increasingly becoming a Muslim language in India after the decade of 70s.
