Early life

Poetic style
He uses Hindi and Awadhi words and avoids Persian and Arabic. This makes his poetry accessible to Indian audiences and explains his success in poetic meets in non-Urdu areas.[4][5]
Ghazals
Munawwar has published numerous ghazals.[6] He has a distinct style of writing. Most of his Shers have Mother as the centre point of his love, much different from other poets.[7]
Awards
- Sahitya Akademi Award for Urdu Literature (2014).[8] He returned the award about one year later, during the"intolerance" movement started by the civil society activists in the run-up to the 2015 Bihar Legislative Assembly election. He vowed to never again accept a government award. He was accused (along with other Akademi award winners) of conspiring to tarnish the image of government).[9][10]
Personal life
Munnawar Rana is married and lives in Lucknow.[11]
