It is difficult to write and say two words about Urdu writer and critic Abdul Kavi Desnavi, especially on his birthday. The writers about whom the people of Bihar still say after his death that Desnavi has been snatched away from us by the Bhopalites. He was also a mentor to other renowned Urdu writers such as Javed Akhtar and Iqbal Masood.

The people of Bihar say that after studying from Mumbai, Desnavi's whole life was spent in Bhopal. Here, he continued to serve as a professor in the college. Desnavi was born in 1930 in Dansen of Bihar. This added Abdul Kavi to his name Desnavi. 

The doodle showed Desnavi sitting in the middle and writing. The letters of the search engine were also given a calligraphic touch. An Indian Urdu language writer, critic, bibliographer and linguist, Desnavi, has contributed immensely towards the evolution of Urdu literature.

In his five decades of literary career, he has authored a vast body of works covering fiction, biographies, poetry, and anthologies. Some of his noted works are “Sat Tehriren”, “Motala-E-Khotool”, “Ghalib” along with his writings on Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.

Google's Official Twitter page also tweeted, " He wrote about those who wrote about love & life. Celebrating the 87th birth anniversary of Abdul Qavi Desnavi. #GoogleDoodle"
