Professor Muhammad Umar Memon

It is with heavy heart that I pen these words of gratitude to Professor Muhammad Umar Memon who died on Monday, June 4th. Professor Memon had a long affiliation with AIPS and his singular contribution towards keeping alive the only journal of Urdu in English Language: Annual of Urdu Studies was exemplary. The annual was started at University of Chicago in 1980 and Professor Memon became its editor in 1993. The annual survived despite many ups and downs because of Professor Memon’s refusal to let any hurdle stand in his way.
