13 Urdu writers of European origin, particularly during the two centuries up to 1947 also belong to the history of Urdu Literature, and Ram Bahu Saksena pioneered such scholarly interest with his European and indo-European Poets of Urdu and Persian (Lucknow, 1941)1, and a recent special issue of the magazine Afkar (Karachi, no. 133, April 1981) acknowledged their significance by publishing a fine article and selections from the work of these poets.Google Scholar
