Just like Bhagat Singh, Faiz was considered a Hero in Undivided British India. During WW2, Faiz served with a unit led by Akbar Khan, a left-wing officer and future Pakistan Army general.

Faiz rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
There was a mass recruitment of Indians especially socialist & communist activists into the British Indian Army and RIN (Navy) for war efforts against Nazi Germany after 1941.

However, once the war was over, the newly recruited men turned against the British, 1946 Naval Mutiny.
His poem Subh-e Azaadi (The Dawn of Freedom, August 1947) records his disappointment with the partition of the Indian subcontinent.

Faiz was imprisoned for more than 4 years after partition in a fake case popularly called "Pindi Conspiracy Case".
Communist party of Pak was banned soon after that Rawalpindi Conspiracy case.

He was held in solitary confinement in Sahiwal and Hyderabad (Sindh) jail and was even deprived of writing material. Faiz was again imprisoned in 1958 (Ayyub Khan’s martial law).
When Faiz Ahmad Faiz visited India (Bombay) in the late 1970s.

Faiz Ahmad Faiz (3rd from right) is seen with Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Naushad, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, RD Burman and others.
Faiz and Bhagat Singh were friends. According to one account, Bhagat Singh fired from the first floor of the New Hostel in Lahore (at ASP John P Saunders) and Faiz is said to have witnessed the scene.

Fazi later wrote a tribute to Bhagat Singh.
Sab taaj uchale jaenge,
Sab takht giraye jayenge,
Hum dekhenge,
Lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge.

Every crown will be tossed,
Every throne will be brought down.
We shall witness,
It is certain that we too shall witness.

- Faiz Ahmad Faiz

The city of Bombay was loved by many for its unique Leftist History.

Last year everyone was talking about Faiz and Hum Dekhenge.

This year total silence. Indians and their short term memory.

More from India

In his letters describing the India Mission, Carey has given us an insight into how the society functioned then, of how the minds of the people worked and what methods the missionaries used to approach and brainwash the common people.


It is entirely possible that,Carey in his arrogance of being the white man and hence more civilized,his inability to under the Hindu scriptures and his natural disdain for the learned community coupled with his inherent hatred for the idolaters may have exaggerated the incidents.

In fact, considering the venom with which he has spoken about Hinduism and it's practices, it's likely that he has exaggerated these incidents. But it cannot be denied that these incidents did happen even if they may not have been on scale at which Carey has described.

One of his journal entry mentions a debate which happened in a temple in front of around 200 people. Carey describes having debated with two learned men and goes on to say when both learned men failed to answer his questions, he went on to preach the gospel to the assembled crowd


In a letter dated 30th June,1795 he goes on to gleefully narate how Hindus were unaware of their own scriptures and how an supposed expert named a grammar book when he was questioned as which scripture said that the Murti is God.
