Renowned Dogri writer Padma Sachdev, who wrote lyrics for Hindi films such as Prem Parbat and Aankhin Dekhi in the 1970s.

“She was a bard for Dogri. She converted, codified and rewrote Dogri’s oral literature, bringing out its classical grandeur in an inter-textual manner. She wrote wonderful prose, powering life into the language. She was a polyglot who also wrote in Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi,” said Hindi writer Anamika.

Sachdev received the Sahitya Akademi award for her work, ‘Meri Kavita Mere Geet’, in 1969. In the book’s preface, poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar wrote, “After reading Padma’s poems I felt I should throw my pen away — for what Padma writes is true poetry.”

She also excelled in writing memoirs. “Her autobiography, ‘Boond Bawadi’, is a classic. Another book, In Bin (Without Them) takes a fascinating look at the world of domestic help,” said friend and writer Mamta Kalia.
