Abstract
This thesis chronicles the life, works and times of Makhdoom Mohiuddin. Makhdoom was an Urdu poet and a member of the Communist Party of India. He was active in many leftist political organizations and movements of his time, including the Progressive Writer’s Association, the Hyderabad trade union movement, and the Telangana peasants’ movement. Yet Makhdoom was also a father and husband, a friend and family member, a teacher, a man with a wonderful sense of humor and a person of deep sincerity and compassion. This thesis takes stock of Makhdoom’s political and literary activities within the context of the tumultuous world around him.
