Timeline

1954

Asad Zaidi (Hindi: असद ज़ैदी; born 31 August 1954) is an Indian poet, editor, translator, and publisher.

1970

From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, he attended the Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Zaidi is married to the historian Nalini Taneja.

1974

He first came to Delhi in 1974, where he has lived mostly ever since.

1980

He has been a noted Hindi poet since the early 1980s.

Zaidi was born in Karauli, Rajasthan.

Zaidi's first collection of poems Behne aur Anya Kavitaein (1980) established him as 'a distinctive voice in contemporary Hindi poetry' early on.

1981

In 1981, Zaidi was awarded the Sanskriti Award in recognition of his contributions to Hindi literature.

1993

In 1993, Chaman Lal counted Zaidi among the third of the four generations of poets who were at that time actively composing in Hindi.

2008

Zaidi's poetic anthology Saman ki talash (2008) received much critical acclaim.

Commenting on this book, Manglesh Dabral, noted poet and an old friend of Zaidi, wrote, "The rise of communal fascism in our politics and the communalization of the society is the main poetic concern of Asad Zaidi as a citizen. There are many unique poems on this decline of the society in this collection. For this, Asad sometimes comments on the politics of Hindi, sometimes evokes the memory of the fading classical-philosophical voice of a great singer like Amir Khan, and the language in which he does this is a new movement between Hindi-Urdu, an example of a new unity and a concerted effort to enrich our poetic language."

2018

In 2018, Aftab Hussain wrote of Zaidi in The News as 'a powerful exception' to the general absence of Muslims in the Hindi literature that came after the Partition of India in 1947.

In 2022, Tarun Bhartiya wrote of Zaidi in Outlook magazine: "Asad Zaidi’s poetic voice has remained at an angular relationship to the Hindi (Hindu, Hindustan) literary world. Having written some of the landmark and prophetic Hindi poems of the last half a century, Zaidi continues to be a difficult poetic phenomenon for Hindi."

2019

Besides in his own books, Zaidi's poems appear in edited anthologies including Sharma (2019) and Stewart (2020).

At Delhi, Zaidi runs the Three Essays Collective, an independent publishing house.
