Abstract

Professor Al e Ahmad Saroor is a prominent figure in Urdu literature, whose personality has been depicted by various writers in their sketches, including Asloob Ahmad Ansari, Dr. Syed Moeen-Ur-Rahman, Aabid Sohail, Shamim Hanfi, and Noor-ul-Hassan Naqvi. These sketches highlight different aspects of Saroor's academic, literary, and personal life. Asloob Ahmad Ansari emphasized his weak criticism and opportunism, while Dr. Syed Moeen-Ur-Rahman presented his personality with love and reverence. Aabid Sohail balanced Saroor's communist affiliations and literary ideologies, while Shamim Hanfi highlighted his intellectual insight and tolerance. Noor-ul-Hassan Naqvi’s sketch is the most balanced and comprehensive, encompassing all facets of Saroor’s personality. Through these sketches, various dimensions of Professor Al e Ahmad Saroor’s personality are revealed.۔
