Manoj Khanderia

Manoj Khanderia (July 6, 1943 – October 27, 2003) was a poet and a Ghazal writer of Gujarati language. He is widely known for his contribution to the literary form called Ghazal but he also wrote in many forms of poetry including Geet, Anjani Geet, Chhandas/Acchandas Kavita, among others. He, along with a group of noted Gujarati poets, transformed the Gujarati Ghazal and established its individual identity by giving it a modernist sensibility.

Works

Manoj Khanderia's poetry collections and anthologies include Achaanak (1970), Atkal (1979), Anjani (1991), Hastprat (1991), and Kyany pan gayo nathi (Published posthumously in 2003). In his lifelong career as a poet, he also organized and was a part of countless mushairas, poetic symposia and recitals. He also helped found and served as the President of the Narsinh Mehta Shahitya Nidhi Trust.

Some of his most famous ghazals include 'Rasta Vasant Na', 'Pichhu', 'Koi Kehtu Nathi', 'Kshano Ne Todva Besu', 'Em Pan Bane', 'Pakdo Kalam Ne', 'Shabdoj Kanku Ne Chokha', 'Varso Na Varas Lage' and 'Shahmrugo', among others.

Awards

Among his many awards were the Sahitya Akademi award (for Atkal and Hastaprat anthologies), the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad Award (for Hastaprat and Anjani anthologies), the Gujarat State award (for Achaanak anthology), the 'Kalapi Award' by the Indian National Theatre in 1999, and the 'Dhanji Kanji Gold Medal' by the Gujarat Sahitya Sabha in 2003.
