Anand Narain Mulla (October 1901–12 June 1997)[1] was an Indian Urdu poet. He served as a Member of Parliament in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.

Life[edit]

Anand Narain Mulla was born at Lucknow, India, in October 1901 and educated at Government Jubilee High School and College there.[2] He won the Sahitya Akademi award in Urdu in 1964 for his poetry, specifically the book Meri Hadis-e-Umr-e-Gurezan. His first collection of poems, Ju-yi shir, published in 1949, was followed by Hans cog and Bamhina bol.[3] He was also a recipient of the Iqbal Samman, a literary award, when aged 92.[4]

His father, Jagat Narain Mulla, was an advocate and government prosecutor.[5] Anand Narain Mulla, a Kashmiri Brahmin,[6] was himself a lawyer.[citation needed] In 1954 he became a judge of the Allahabad High Court, which he remained until 1961.[7]

Mulla was a member of the 4th Lok Sabha (1967–1970), elected as an Independent candidate from the Lucknow constituency.[citation needed] He was later elected as a Rajya Sabha member (1972–1978) as a nominee of the governing Indian National Congress party.[8]
