Miya Fuski

Miya Fuski is a fictional character created by Jivram Joshi for children's literature in Gujarati language.

Jivram Joshi was a children's literature author of Gujarati language who created several popular fiction characters.

A very funny and very thin Miyan named Ali was living in a house behind a temple in Narsinh Mohalla in Kashi.

Thus joined Fuski [ Timid in Gujarati ] with Miya and wrote a story.Later he created the Hindu character Tabha Bhatt for the purpose of Hindu-Muslim unity.

They are still popular across Gujarat[5] and the characters are considered as the icons of children's literature in Gujarati language.

Asit Kumarr Modi produced and Sandeep Patel directed a TV series, Miya Fuski, for DD Gujarati.

[9] The characters were also adapted in a children's Gujarati film Miya Fuski 007 in 1987 starring Johny Walker and Kishor Bhatt in the lead roles.
