Abstract
EVIEW OF POETRY OF
MURLI DHAR
Abstract
Dr. Murli Dhar is one of the modern Sindhi poets and literary
personalities. His poetry as well as prose are different in subject from
other writers, which seem as an evidence of new trends in Sindhi
literature. By profession, Dr. Murli is a professor of surgery in Urology.
Thus he highlights health issues of ailing humans with his pen. He
specially focuses on poverty lack of awareness about health facilities and
other social issues.
Dr. Murli is a trendsetter in his social life too. He believes that oldcustoms and rituals Specially Dowry etc. which create a hindrance to the
progress of any society must be stopped, and everyone should start
prohibiting them starting from their own homes. He did so and set an
example of himself when, on the eve of his marriage, he refused to
accept dowry from his in-laws (who were also a renowned literary family
of Mr. Wali Ram Walabh). His spouse, Dr. Pushpa Walabh is also a
renowned poetess and she is of the same opinion too. They put the same
demands of dowry refusal in-front of the in-laws of their son.
In this paper I have focused upon Murli Dhar's literary contribution,
specially on poetry, and also touched upon his contribution to the
society.
