Khwaja Ahmad Abbas Poradie kníh
Chwaja Ahmad Abbas bol vplyvný tvorca indickej kinematografie, známy ako režisér, scenárista a spisovateľ. Jeho tvorba sa vyznačovala silným sociálnym cítením a často sa zameriavala na realizmus a zapojenie komunity. Abbas bol priekopníkom neorealistického indického filmu a jeho scenáre pomohli definovať éru surového, autentického rozprávania. Okrem filmu zanechal Abbas nezmazateľnú stopu v žurnalistike svojim dlho vychádzajúcim stĺpčekom „Posledná strana“, ktorý ponúkal postrehy do indickej spoločnosti a kultúry po niekoľko desaťročí.
