Celebrating the Legacy of Abdul Manan Gawar: A Milestone for Gawarbati Language Literature

We are honored to announce the launch of a poetry collection by the late Abdul Manan Gawar, a revered voice from the Gawarbati language community. This publication marks a significant step in preserving and celebrating the literary heritage of a language spoken by few but cherished by many.

The journey of this book began with Abdullah, whose dedication to collecting Abdul Manan Gawar’s work ensured that these powerful verses would not be lost to time. His efforts led to the material being shared with us for publication, and today, we proudly witness its impact.

In a heartwarming ceremony organized by Al-Qalam, a community-based organization rooted in the Gawarbati language group, the book was officially launched. The event drew a vibrant gathering of students, writers, book lovers, and government officers working in the region. Together, they paid tribute to the late poet’s legacy and expressed deep appreciation to FLI for its role in preserving and promoting this cultural treasure.

This moment is more than a book launch—it is a celebration of identity, memory, and resilience. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Gawarbati language community for this remarkable achievement. May this collection inspire future generations to honor their roots and continue the journey of cultural expression.
