From a distinguished civil servant with thirty-five years’ experience in the Indian government, to an author eliciting praise from the late Khushwant Singh, was an easy leap for Moosa Raza. He published his first book Of Nawabs and Nightingales in 1995, a bestseller at the time. His second book, In Search of Oneness, was inspired by his quest for the common threads between the Bhagwad Gita, the Quran and Sufism. The next was a translation of over 400 Persian Couplets of the famous Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib (translated into Urdu/Tamil), a unique contribution to mystical poetry; while his fourth, Kashmir: Land of Regrets, is a memoir of his stewardship of that state before it was reduced to a Union Territory. Moosa Raza was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2010 for his service to the nation.
