Biography
Early life and education
Ali Sardar Jafri was born in Balrampur (in present-day Uttar Pradesh), where he spent his formative years.[2]
His early influences were Mir Anees and Josh Malihabadi.
In 1933, he was admitted to Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) where he soon got exposed to Communist ideology and was expelled from the university in 1936 for 'political reasons'. However, he graduated in 1938 from Zakir Husain College (Delhi College), Delhi University, but his subsequent postgraduate studies at Lucknow University ended prematurely following his arrest during 1940–41 for writing anti-War poems, and for taking part in political activities organised by the Indian National Congress as Secretary of the university's Students' Union.[3]
