Kalidas Gupta Riza (19252001) was an Indian writer[1] and authority on the writings of the Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib.[2] He authored several books on Ghalib.[3] A recipient of the Ghalib Award in 1987,[4] he was honored by the government of India in 2001 with the fourth-highest Indian civilian award of Padma Shri.[5] Riza's edition of Ghalib's Diwan Diwan-e-'Raza, published in 1995, supplanted Imtiaz Ali 'Arshi''s 1958 version as the most comprehensive and chronologically correct edition of Ghalib's Urdu poetry.[6]
