About this episode
The episode explores the life and poetry of Yagana Changezi, highlighting his impact on Urdu literature and his fearless approach to challenging literary norms.
Why Yagana Changezi? Because his poetry just feels fresh. And when I read about his life, something clicked for me. He was sharp, abrasive, and completely fearless - reshaping 20th-century Urdu poetry, questioning sacred icons, even taking shots at Ghalib when no one else would. He lived a tough life and spoke in a tough voice. Honestly, all the signs of a great poet.You should really read him. also, if you like the episode, let me know.
