Profile of Maulwi Kareemuddin
Identity: Renowned 19th-century author, historian, translator, lexicographer, tazkira-writer and compiler of 'Karim-ul-Lughat'.
Maulvi Karimuddin was born in 1237 AH/1821 CE in Panipat, British India. He received his early education at home and studied the fundamentals of Arabic and Persian under the guidance of his father, Sirajuddin.
In 1840, he enrolled at Delhi College, where he studied modern subjects such as geometry, astronomy, algebra, and literary history. Besides Urdu, Arabic, and Persian, he also had a strong command of the English language.
After completing his education, he established a printing press in Delhi and published several important historical works. He also launched two notable monthly journals, Karim-ul-Akhbar and Gul-e-Rana. Following the devastation of Delhi during the Revolt of 1857, he moved to Agra and was appointed a professor at Agra College. Later, in 1863, he relocated to Punjab and served for many years as Deputy Inspector of Education in the Lahore Division.
His literary and scholarly career flourished in Lahore, where he authored, compiled, and translated numerous important works. His most celebrated contribution is the Urdu dictionary Karim-ul-Lughat. Other significant works include Tabaqat-ush-Shu'ara-e-Hind (1848), Guldasta-e-Nazninan (1845), Tarikh-e-Hindustan (Waqiat-e-Hind) (1870), Qawaid-ul-Mubtadi (1858), and the early Urdu novel Khat-e-Taqdeer (1862). He also translated Tarikh Abu al-Fida and wrote works such as Tarikh Shu'ara-e-Arab and Maktub-e-Mohammadi.
