Om Mijwan
Mijwan er en lille landsby i Nordindien, hvor en af Indiens største digtere Kaifi Azmi blev født i 1919. Kaifi Azmi var både digter, tekstforfatter og en ivrig forkæmper for de svages ret. Derfor oprettede han foreningen Mijwan Welfare Society i sin fødeby, for at skabe social udvikling og forbedring for de fattigste. Kaifi Azmi mente, at Indiens økonomiske fremskridt kun giver mening, hvis det når ud til folk på landet. Langt størstedelen af befolkningen på landet i Indien lever i fattigdom.
"For some, the cups overflow, for some they remain empty
Are these rounds for show, or, is the division fair, O saki?
You do not know yet the mien of thirsty
Your manner of giving must change, O saki."
"The Custom of giving" of Kaifi Azmi
