Life
Bahri was born on 1 January 1907 in Talagang, then a Tehsil of district Campbell Pur Attock, part of the British Raj, now an independent district in Punjab, Pakistan.
He obtained his Ph.D. from Panjab University. Likely due to the Partition of India, he migrated to Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh and became a professor in the Department of Hindi at the University of Allahabad, where in 1959 he also earned his Doctor of Letters for his seminal work Hindi Semantics. He occupied that post for over two decades, pursuing academic research in both theoretical and applied linguistics as well as literary criticism.
He died on 31 March 2000.
