Asad Muhammad Khan 

Asad Muhammad Khan was born in Bhopal, India, in 1932. He now lives in Karachi, Pakistan. He has written a number of television plays and published five collections of short stories to date. The Harvest of Anger and Other Stories, a selection of his short stories in English translation, was published by Oxford University Press (Karachi) in 2002 as part of its Pakistan Writers Series.

Urdu litterateur and poet Asad Mohammad Khan has been awarded the prestigious Majlis-e-Farogh Urdu Adab Award (Doha, Qatar).

Khan truly deserves the award. His Nazms are well-known but his real strength is in the prose. The stories like ‘Basode ki Maryam’ and ‘Mai Dada’ are truly astounding
