  1. Maqdoom Mohiuddin is Quli Qutub Shah of 20th century. Quli laid the foundation of gazal. It is a historical fact that in the hands of Maqdoom gazal attained amazing heights and its crowing glory. Bhagmathi ( Lady Love) inspired and enticed Quli into love gazal. Similarly, there was lady love in Maqdoom's life and literature also. Ms.Indira Dhanrajgir is life-force of Maqdoom's love gazals. All his love gazals are addressed to her. Ms.Indira is Bhagmathi of Maqdoom's life and 20th century urdu gazal. Without this vital aspect any account of his life or poetry is shallow and meaningless. All the researchers and critics should work on this component of maqdoom's literature.

  2. Nusrath Mohiuddin S/o Maqdoom Mohiuddin passed away on 4.4.2013. RIP to his soul.
    What is tragic is to whom he was close to during his life time did not turn up to pay last tributes to him . Indira Dhanrajgir who was close to her father for decades did not bother to see his mortal remains. Nusrath was loyal and committed to her till the last moment. He used to be with her in all her meetings and family get togethers. Even when Maqdoom passed away she did not visit his house to pay last tribute. Maqdoom sahab passed away in Delhi and his body was brought to Hyderabad in August 1969. She was holidaying in Mauritius with her new love. Such people have no human values / sentiments.

  3. “Sarmaya” is a collection of poetry edited jointly by Sri.Swadhin , welknown Hindi poet of Hyderabad and Nusrath , Makhdoom’s son. Sarmaya a has photo of Makhdoom and Indira Dhanrajgir. More interestingly, It has a letter by Makhdoom addressed to her written from Tashkent on May 2nd,1968. Their Love Relation is a golden era in Deccan Gazal , and history.
