Life
[edit]Anand Narain Mulla was born in a Brahmin family at Lucknow in the North-Western Provinces of British India, in October 1901 and educated at Government Jubilee High School and College there.[3] Subsequently, he obtained a Master of Arts in English literature from the University of Lucknow in 1923.[4] He won the Sahitya Akademi award in Urdu in 1964 for his poetry, specifically the book Meri Hadis-e-Umr-e-Gurezan. His first collection of poems, Ju-yi shir, published in 1949, was followed by Hans cog and Bamhina bol.[5] He was also a recipient of the Iqbal Samman, a literary award, when aged 92.[6]
His father, Jagat Narain Mulla, was an advocate and government prosecutor. Anand Narain Mulla, a Kashmiri Brahmin,[citation needed] was himself a lawyer.[citation needed] In 1954 he became a judge of the Allahabad High Court, which he remained until 1961.[7]
