I'm deeply shocked to hear the sudden demise of Indian poet Dr. Sagar Mal Gupta (01/08/1940-09/02/2025) from Indian poet Dr. Manas Bakshi. Dr. Gupta had been the regular contributor to both creative and academic sections of our journal Creative Flight: An International Peer-Reviewed E-Journal in English. May his noble soul rest in peace.
Brief Note on Indian poet Prof. (Dr.) Sagar Mal Gupta (01/08/1940-09/02/2025):
Prof. (Dr.) Sagar Mal Gupta, Rtd. Principal and Prof. (College Education, Rajasthan), writer and poet left for heavenly abode on Sunday, 09/02/2025 after a brief battle with illness. He was 84. He was born on 01/08/1940. He hailed from an humble village Kanwat in Sikar district ofRajasthan but resided in Jaipur. He is survived by his wife and four daughters. His demise is a huge loss to the family and the field of English Language and Literature.
Dr. Gupta was educated at Edinburgh University (UK) and earned his M.A (Linguistics) and Ph.D. in Linguistics from University of Hawaii (USA). He had fifty-seven years’ experience of teaching English Literature, ELT and Communication at various colleges and universities in India and abroad. In his lifetime he published 11 books on grammar, communication techniques, vocabulary and comprehension; 50 research papers in national and international journals. Post retirement he took to writing poetry and published his poems in various journals and anthologies of repute. He also came out with five successful collections of poems: The Cresent Moon (Yking Books, Jaipur, 2018), The Songs of India and the World (Prakash Book Depot, Bareily, 2019), Songs of Rajasthan and Other Poems (Prakash Book Depot, Bareily,2020), Waves of Imagination (Yking Books, Jaipur, 2023) and Tapestry of Emotions (Yking Books, Jaipur,2024).
