Dubai resident Inam Abidi has recently achieved a significant milestone in his writing career with the publication of his first book, “Making of a Qasba: The Story of Amroha”. This book is the first detailed historical account of the city of Amroha in English, filling a significant gap in existing literature. Abidi, who has been living in Dubai since 2006 and works as a cloud consultant, had always nurtured the dream of writing a book about his hometown. The three-year research process led to the culmination of this dream earlier this year.
Amroha, located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, is well-known for its association with prominent figures such as Kamal Amrohvi, Jaun Elia, Sadequain, and Jai Krishna Agarwal. The city holds a special place as a Sufi center and is deeply rooted in history and tradition. However, when Abidi started his research in 2015, he realized the lack of comprehensive information about Amroha available in the English language. This realization prompted him to take on the ambitious task of writing a book to bridge this gap.
In an interview, Abidi shared his motivation behind writing the book, stating that he wanted to familiarize his children with their ancestral heritage. Unable to find enough material in English, he decided to fill this void and provide future generations with a detailed account of Amroha’s rich history. His dedication and passion for the project resulted in the publication of “Making of a Qasba: The Story of Amroha”, which is now available for readers to explore.
This achievement not only fulfills Abidi’s personal dream but also contributes to the body of knowledge surrounding Amroha’s history. As the first comprehensive account of the city in English, the book is expected to attract readers from around the world who are interested in learning about Amroha’s cultural significance and historical importance. Whether for academic purposes or personal curiosity, “Making of a Qasba: The Story of Amroha” offers a unique insight into the city’s past and showcases Abidi’s exceptional research skills and writing abilities.
Inam Abidi’s book has already garnered attention and praise from readers who have eagerly awaited a detailed English account of Amroha’s history. This significant achievement highlights the immense talent and dedication of Abidi as both a cloud consultant and a writer. With his fluency in English writing, Abidi has not only fulfilled a personal goal but has also contributed to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Amroha for generations to come.
