Read deevan a ghalib again , all his ishq's were with men. Not a single shair of his refers to a female loved ones.:)
According to 'Andalib Shadani ‘s claim
If anyone undertakes a thorough inquiry into the works of Mir, without being influenced by the opinions of others, he will certainly arrive at the conclusion that Mir's poetic subject is 'the love of beardless youths,' and that Mir is absolutely unique in this quality. You will not find 'the lads of Delhi' in such abundance anywhere else..
I comprehend that there was a tradition of homosocial/homoerotic relationships way back 19nth century South Asia…..
But it doesn’t make every body who lived in 19th century , a homosexual …. does it ?
You may quote an odd example from Ghalib’s letters , the ones written to his favourite pupil, Dad Khan Sayyah, his patron, Mir Gulam Baba but it only reveals his love and esteem for them ..
Ya may quote his famous line where he said ‘ *mein tumhara dada nahi dil daada hoon’ *
But does it sounds homo ? I don’t think so …
You are free to quote an example from his poetry …. I never come across one ….
