Beskrivning

Urdu is a language of extreme charm and beauty. Our attempt in this book is to present a kaleidoscopic view of Urdu through scholars and artists of our times. Together they present the case that there is a need of mainstreaming this fine language lest it should become exotic and exclusive like Sanskrit and Persian. That is the inspiration of the name that we have chosen for the book, Celebrating Urdu.
