Damodar Gulati
Damodar Gulati (Punjabi: ਦਮੋਦਰ ਦਾਸ ਅਰੋੜਾ, دمودر داس اروڑا) also known as Damodar Das Arora, was a Punjabi poet. He wrote the qissa Heer and Ranjha (ہیر رانجھے دا قصہ), adapted from a legend.[1][2] He states in the poem that he is from Jhang—the home of Heer, one of the poem's two main characters.[3] According to the Encyclopædia of Indian Literature, Gulati's work had Sikh influences.[4] Waris Shah later adapted Heer and Ranjha.[5]
