I needed it for my own chronology on Afghan American history. 1930s there was a small group of Afghans who came to study in the U.S. Many of them stayed to become American citizens and married American women. Ozai Durrani was one of these men. I couldn't find what exactly his Ph.D. was in but he must have been from an elite family in Afghanistan to have received this kind of scholarship in the first place. It makes sense that he settled in Colorado since it is the closest in geography to Afghanistan! I had no idea about the funds he left behind to translate Galeb and Mir Taqi, who write in Persian since that was the court language of the Mughals and later maintained by Pakistan. The educated in Afghanistan, whether they are scientists or sociologists, are very much aware of poetry. In fact, the anthropologist Margaret Mills called Afghanistan a country that was literary despite the majority of the population being illiterate. Poetry is a backbone of Afghan culture. I wish I knew more as well. The line where I first heard of him was in The Kingdom of Afghanistan and the United States 1828-1973 written by Leon B. Poullada and Leila D.J. Poullada.
