Syed Sahil Agha [1] is a writer, author, and storyteller from New Delhi, India who specialized in the verbal art of dastangoi. [2]
Agha performs dastangoi, [3] [4] a 13th-century Urdu art of oral storytelling. [5] [6] His first dastangoi performance was in college. Agha gave his first professional dastangoi performance in 2010 at Jamia while he ran a business selling antique vehicles. [7] [8] He claims his grandfather was the inspiration for his work. [3]
Agha's book, Dastan-e-Hind, a collection of his dastans (or tales) and Indian folklore, has inspired successful performances by many artists around the globe. [9] Unlike most dastangos, Agha prefers to perform solo rather than as part of a pair. His dastans include Amir Khusrau, [10] Vikram-Betal and Tughlaqnama, which have become a hit amongst his audiences. [7]
He has also came up with a new idea of 'Musical Dastangoi' which has an amalgamated Dastangoi with Indian Opera and Indian classical music. [11]
She was born in Skopje, and then moved to Ireland and later to India, where she lived for most of her life. She devoted her life to chastity, poverty, and obedience, and also professed a fourth vow — to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor."
