AMRITA PRITAM
Amrita Pritam was an Indian maverick writer and
poet. She is considered the ﬁrst eminent female
Punjabi writer, novelist and poet of the 20th
century. Her writing is equally loved by the people
of India and Pakistan. In her over 6 decades long
career, she produced over hundred works,
including poetry, essays, novels, biographies, etc.
She was honoured with prestigious awards like the
‘Sahitya Akademi,’ ‘Bharatiya Jnanpith,’ and
‘Padma Vibhushan’ among many others. One of
her most famous novels titled ‘Pinjar’ was made
into a movie of the same name. She also penned
an autobiography, in which she expressed her
audacity by writing about her personal life, which
might be considered ‘controversial’ by many, even
in contemporary India. Amrita Pritam is most
remembered for her poem, ‘Ajj aakhaan Waris
Shah nu.’

Sahitya Akademi (India's National Academy of
Letters), for his epic verse play based on the
ancient legend of Puran Bhagat, Loona (1965),[6]
now considered a masterpiece in modern Punjabi
literature,[7] and which also created a new genre,
of modern Punjabi kissa.[8] Today, his poetry
stands in equal footing, amongst that by stalwarts
of modern Punjabi poetry, like Mohan Singh (poet)
