Ahmad Abbas
His short story "Annadata" (trans: The Giver of Grain – an obsequious appellation used by Indian peasants for their feudal land-owners), was made into the film "Dharti Ke Lal" (1946) by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas – which led to his being offered work regularly as a screenwriter by Bollywood, including such popular hits as "Mamta" (1966) and "Sharafat" (1970). He wrote his film scripts in Urdu.
