Publisher: Rupa Publications
Summary
Mirza ghalib Who hasn't been awed by the name in the indian sub continent? But how many admirers know of his very deep emotional involvement with gujarat? Ghalib never set foot in gujarat and yet developed a great affinity with the region, thanks to his patrons, friends and pupils in surat and baroda. The master has over the years been perceived as a poet connected deeply with north india and in particular with the court of the last moghul emperor bahadur shah zafar. It was a great challenge for mir jaffar imam to bring to light ghalib's equally deep relationship with gujarat and the mirs. The close correspondence exchanged between ghalib and the mirs forms the basis of this book. It unravels the sensitive bond that soon came to exist between the poet and this prominent family of gujarat.mirza ghalib has addressed sixty one letters to his patrons and students in surat and baroda. These letters are a mirror of ghalib's last days since they were written between 1859 and 1869, the latter being the year of his death. They reflect his moods and state of mind and were a source of great solace during his last years.
