Dr.Ebadat Brelvi

By: Intizaar Hussain

"During the last ten years Dr.Ebadat did his literary work with unusual discipline.He would rise early in the morning and get
ready,like any working day as he used to do for years while going to college.But now,instead of college he went to his old
house which served as a secluded corner for study.He already enjoys the reputation of being a prolific writer.But after retirement he wrote abundantly and uninterruptedly.Thus he made generous editions to the ist of his publications which was already long.He told me that during these years,as an author,he has crossed a hundred.
The world of cricket abound in century- makers. But in very few reach the hundred figure.By the grace of od Dr.Ebadat is now
a century maker".

"Quite apart personal character I had always greatly admired his command of his native language Urdu.Both in speech and in writing his language was fluent,idiomatic and effortless,and entirely free of the obscurity which one often finds in the writings of his contemporaries.It was these qualities which influenced me strongly when I recommended him for what SOAS called an
‘overseas lectureship’ to work there for five years as my colleague.Although over the course of the last fifty years I have acquired many friends amongst Urdu writers and scholars in Pakistan,some of whom ,like Dr.Maulvi Abdul Haq are no longer with us ,he is one whom I shall miss most ,and during the years of my friendship with him I became ,whenever in his home
,almost like one of his family".

"Dr. Ebadat Brelvi is among the avant-garde of the contemporary romantic school of criticism. New themes and forms, the rebellion of the individualist or at least of the innovative, the abstruse and bizarre strangeness of the adroit, the ever anxious tumult of emotions, all these hold a great sway over Ebadat's critical perceptions".

"Dr.Ebadat Brelvi was a balanced intellect and was extremely a good natured person.He was a good teacher and had full
control over criticism.His point of view was broad and was firm in his style and stance.His whole personality was a reflection of
literature.He highlighted almost every point regarding literature and left behind a priceless treasure.Tough he is not with us
anymore but our feelings would always be warm by his memories".
