Writing
One of Alvi's books, Angarey, has been the subject of controversy. The book is a collection of Urdu short stories, first published in the 1930s, and then banned in 1933. It was written by Sajjad Zaheer, Rashid Jahan, Mahmud-uz-Zafar and Ahmed Ali[1] Alvi reissued the book in 1993, but, when doing so, had to excise major portions of it.[2] In 2014 he along with Vibha S. Chauhan translated the book in English.[3]
