Sahir Ludhyanvi / Pappu Lahoriya

Names of certain cities are suitable if someone uses that alongwith their Takhalus or Pen name. Example being Sahir Ludhyanwi, Daagh Dehlvi.

But not all city names got such flexibility to be used by literary person. Imagine a poet using Lahori with his name.

What do you say about this? Which cities in your opinion can’t be used as Takhalus by poets / writers. I still have to see someone using title ‘Karachwi’ :smiley:

Re: Sahir Ludhyanvi / Pappu Lahoriya

poets ke nam ka problem ho sakta hai magar last names to alag alag tarahse cities ke names se attach hosakte hain...

karachiwala nam ka koi parsi ya memon ho sakta hai....

in maharashtra some last names are based on name of the city,town or village...

E.g. from nagpur we can have Nagpure/Nagpurey....or Nagpurkar....
