From the Times of India:
Paul had been suffering from age-related illness and was hospitalized for some weeks.
He is survived by his wife Krishna, sons Sudhir and Sunit, and daughter Sukrita.
A large number of relatives, friends and admirers attended the last rites here.
Born on September 5, 1925 in Sialkot in present day Pakistan, Paul migrated to India at the time of Partition. His mother tongue is Punjabi, but his primary and middle school education was in Urdu medium.
He did his M.A. in English literature, which he taught until he retired as the principal of a post-graduate college in Maharashtra. Paul chose to put his creative expression in Urdu language, as he believed that Urdu is “not a language but a culture” and for him writing is to be in the culture. He was part of the Progressive Urdu Writers' Movement.
More here. And many readings of his work here. And here is a video interview.
[Joginder Paul was the father-in-law of occasional 3QD writer and friend, Ruchira Paul.]
