Shah Husain Ahmad is associated with both the ‘Dargah’ (Khanqah Hazrat Shah Diwan Arzani, Patna) and the ‘Darsgah’ (Veer Kunwar Singh University, Ara). His lineage connects him to that Khanqah which has a longstanding relationship with Urdu. It is a place where Urdu not only found refuge but also immense love, allowing the language to forge deep connections with the masses. These centers are not only hubs of mysticism but also cradles of literature.
He is also connected to an educational institution where sciences, literature, and the art of living are imparted.
