AGRA: The city of the Taj Mahal woke up to a sunny Tuesday, heralding the onset of spring with Basant Panchmi. But Agra has other reasons to celebrate too - 100 years of Dayalbagh, a utopian spiritual commune of the Radhasoami faith, and the birthday of the 18th century people's poet mian Nazeer Akbarabadi who gave Agra its literary recognition along with Mirza Ghalib and Meer Taqi Meer.
Mian Nazir Akbarabadi, described as "people's poet in sharp contrast to Mirza Ghalib and Mir who were patronised by the elite, the sophisticated and cultured citizenry", said Jitendra Raghvanshi of the Indian People's Theatre Association.
The modest tomb of Nazir will be lit up as admirers will queue up to pay homage to the poet who sang of love and the life of the common man in Agra and gave the city its unique literary identity.
He wrote about ordinary things that touched the hearts of both Muslims and Hindus, like festivals, dance and theatre, bird fights and kite-flying. Nazir looked at the follies of the royalty with disdain but sang about the antics of Lord Krishna and poked fun at fundamentalists.
The staging of his "Agra Bazar" play made noted theatre personality Habib Tanvir famous. His poem "Sab thath pada rah jayega jab lad chalega banjara," is still popular in Agra.
