Amir Khusraw’s India by Aklaq Ahan and Ravi Kumar (Limited Edition, 1000 copies)
This book presents a rich tribute to Amir Khusraw, the legendary Indo-Persian poet, musician, and Sufi whose genius has shaped the cultural and literary fabric of the Indian subcontinent. Celebrated for his mastery of Persian, Hindawi, and Arabic, Khusraw was not only a poet of extraordinary brilliance but also a pioneer who invented musical forms, instruments, and genres, while reflecting deeply on the social and cultural milieu of his age. As the beloved disciple of Nizamuddin Auliya, he blended spirituality with art, patriotism with imagination, and scholarship with creativity. The volume positions Khusraw alongside the greatest poets of world civilizations—Homer, Shakespeare, Hafez, Cervantes—while emphasizing his unique place in India’s composite heritage. Accompanied by a CD of Khusraw’s Persian and Hindawi Sufi poems rendered by renowned qawwals of the subcontinent, this limited edition offers both literary depth and musical resonance, making it a rare collector’s piece.
