Khurshid Anwar was an eminent music director of the Indian Sub-Continent. Some of you may know that I edited a book based on his interviews published in Urdu, in Daily Imroze, Lahore during July - September 1983. The interviews were translated into English and a complete filmography was included.

I am happy to report that Khwaja Khurshid Anwar Trust and Irfan Anwar have allowed me to make the book available for free. I am grateful to them.

Here is a pdf of the book
