My Take
Rahat Indori is the kind of figure I find quietly heroic. A Bollywood lyricist and Urdu poet who was also a former professor of Urdu literature and a painter, he built a life entirely around the power of words. What strikes me most is that he bridged popular cinema and serious literary tradition, never treating one as beneath the other. I imagine his mushaira recitals electrified rooms, because poetry that lives on the stage demands a performer's heart as much as a scholar's mind. His passing in 2020 was a real loss, but the respect his name still commands tells you everything.
