Kabli Wala

Has anyone read this beautiful short story by Tagore?

I hears that they are going to make a movie on this, where Amitabh Bachan will play the title.

Did not Mushatq Ahmed Yousufi also have an article by this name?

Re: Kabli Wala

Re: Kabli Wala

Kabuliwallah by Tagore. I have read it. It is a beautiful and touching story. I also remember watching a black/White bengali movie with subtitles based on the book as a kid. :)

Re: Kabli Wala

I kinda remember that there was also a black/white hindi movie on this subject, which had a very popular desh bhakti song.

Yes this is the song I was talking of:

Recently I read a short story by Pakistani writer Zahida Henna, who took the story of this Afghan migrant to next level. The small Indian girl grown-up as dadi and her Doctor grand daughter goes to Afghanistan after 9/11 and attack on Afghanistan.

I think its aab-egum. Its about the pathan that comes to live with rakm-e-huruf's friend basharat.
