The ''Anjuman Tarraqi Pasand Mussanafin-e-Hind'' or Progressive Writers' Movement (, Hindi: अखिल भारतीय प्रगतिशील लेखक संघ) was a progressive literary movement in the pre-partition British India, consisting of a few different writers groups around the world. The groups were anti-imperialistic and left-oriented, and sought to inspire people through their writings advocating equality and attacking social injustice and backwardness. According to The ''Dawn'', "Progressive Writers Movement in Urdu literature was the strongest movement after Sir Syed's education movement. The progressives contributed to Urdu literature some of the finest pieces of fiction and poetry. Undoubtedly, they were the trend-setters for the coming generation of writers."〔(Progressive writers ), Dawn, 1 October 2004〕 ==Organizations== * The Indian Progressive Writers' Movement and Association first began after the publication of ''Angare'' (Burning Coals), a collection of short stories by Ahmed Ali, Sajjad Zaheer, Rashid Jehan and Mahmuduz Zafar in 1932 and its proscription by the British U.
