Pash

Punjabi poet (1950-1988) · India · On the map · Writers · Died at 37

Avtar Singh Sandhu, who wrote under the pen name Pash, was an Indian poet, one of the major poets in Punjabi of the 1970s. He was killed by Sikh extremists on 23 March 1988. His strongly left-wing views were reflected in his poetry.

Pash is read about 40 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 23 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
