Author Information:
Kali Das Gupta Raza is acclaimed as an authority on Mirza Ghalib. But his work on Azadari traditions remains less known or forgotten. Even marsiyas composed by him are not easily available despite its publication under the title ’Shaoor-e-Gham”. Born in 1925, Kalidas Gupta was a great devotee of Imam Raza (Rida).Out of his sheer love for 8th Imam, he chose Raza as his pen name and worked ceaselessly in exploring marsiya writing by Hindus on the tragic events of Karbala. He immersed himself so deeply in unearthing Hindu marsiya writers to become an authority on the history of Deccan also. He traced the origin of marsiya writing from the period of Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda.
