under the supervision of mohammad hasan, the magazine "asri adab" (january 1970) actively promoted and propagated progressive literary ideals. it featured themes and articles that were deeply connected to human life and public consciousness, particularly focusing on oppression, exploitation, and socio-economic issues from a literary perspective. "asri adab" seriously addressed political and social issues, striving not only to engage creative writers but also to awaken public consciousness. the section "aaray tirchay aainey" (distorted mirrors) primarily included writings related to global and national politics, as the magazine aimed to reflect contemporary demands and modern-day realities. this publication emphasized incorporating contemporary political and cultural issues within the literary discourse. the ideologies and beliefs held by mohammad hasan were also reflected in the magazine. he firmly believed in literature that mirrors its time, one that protests against darkness and oppression. his vision was that even if complete darkness could not be eradicated, writers and creative minds must at least light a small candle to reduce the gloom, even if just a little.
