Amritlal Nagar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amritlal Nagar (Hindi: अमृतलाल नागर) born 17th August 1916 in Agra Uttar Pradesh, has been one of the prominent Hindi writers of modern times [1].
He started off as an author and journalist, but moved on to be an active writer in Indian Film Industry for next 7 years. He worked as a drama producer in All India Radio at Lucknow (U.P.) between December 1953 and May 1956. At this point he realized that regular job will always be a hindrance to his literary life, so he devoted himself to freelance writing.
