Biography

Bharat Bhushan Agrawal was born on 3 August 1919 in Mathura and died on 23 June 1975.[3] He completed higher education in Agra and Delhi, then worked in Akashvani and served in many literary institutions. Away from ancestral business, he considered writing literature as his work. After the publication of his first collection of poetry 'Chavi Ke Bandhan' (1941), he went to Calcutta as the editor of 'Samaj Sevak', the mouthpiece of Marwari society. It was here that he was introduced to Bengali literature and culture. Bharat Bhushan joined as an important poet in 'Tar Saptak' (1943) and became famous for his poems and oratories. While writing his other works 'Jagte Raho' (1942), 'Muktimarg' (1947), he was also associated with the magazine 'Pratik' published from Allahabad and in 1948 became Program Officer in All India Radio. In 1959, he published a collection 'O unprepared mind', which was a demonstration of his creative maturity and ideological maturity.[4][5]

Bharat Bhushan Agarwal Award is an award in the field of Hindi literature which was started from the year 1975 and it is given to new poets in the memory of Bharat Bhushan Agarwal.[6]

Deputy Secretary of Sahitya Akademi

Dr. Bharatbhushan Agrawal became the Deputy Secretary of the Sahitya Akademi in 1960 and contributed to the publication of the Akademi and its programs at the national level. In 1975, he became a visiting fellow of the Institute of Ushtar Studies, Shimla and till his death continued to do research on the topic 'Partition of the Country in Indian Literature'.[9]

His works, where they seem to be quite different from those of their contemporaries, remain as important and relevant today as they are due to their satiric intensity. Equally proficient in writing in different genres, Dr. Agrawal's works are particularly noteworthy - a lot of rest, absent people, paper flowers, incidentally and the poet's vision. His works have been published in four volumes.
