  • Twentieth-Century Urdu Literature
    Published in Handbook of Twentieth-Century Literatures of India, ed. by Nalini Natarajan, Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1996. TWENTIETH-CENTURY URDU LITERATURE1 Omar Qureshi This introductory summary, of the course of Urdu literature in the twentieth century must continuously refer back to the nineteenth. This becomes necessary because, depending on one’s point of view, it was Urdu’s destiny or misfortune to gradually become identified as the lingua franca of the Muslims of India in the latter half of the last century. Consequently, the still unresolved dilemmas of the politics of Muslim identity in South Asia are difficult to separate from their expression in and through the development of Urdu. For our purposes then, the most significant consequence of the failed rebellion of 1857 was the gradual emergence of group identity among the recently politically dispossessed and culturally disoriented Muslim elite of North India. This effort to define Indian Muslim nationhood in the new colonial environment placed issues of past, present and future identity at the center of elite Muslim concerns. Not only were these concerns expressed largely in Urdu, but the literary legacy of Urdu formed the terrain through and on which some of the more significant debates were conducted. The Muslim leadership that emerged after 1857 looked to this pre-colonial literary legacy as an authentic, but highly problematic repository of the Indian Muslim identity; and the Urdu language itself as the most effective medium for the renewal and reform of the Muslims of British India. As Muslim identity politics gathered strength in colonial India, and Urdu was turned into the print language of the emerging nation, discussions of an apparently purely literary nature became a veritable mirror of ideological and sociopolitical change among India’s Muslims.

  • Punjabi Language During British Rule
    27 Tariq Rahman: Punjabi during British Rule Punjabi Language during British Rule Tariq Rahman Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad ________________________________________________________________ Punjabi language, in spite of its very long history, has never been used in the domain of power. The languages of power were not peoples’ mother-tongues, being Sanskrit, Persian and English or Urdu. In this paper, the author sheds light on the introduction of Urdu by the British as the vernacular in the Punjab. Ironically not many people knew Urdu when it was proclaimed as a parlance for conducting administrative business. Soon afterwards Muslims of Punjab co-opted Urdu as their cultural insignia. Iqbal and later on Zafar Ali Khan, Akhtar Sheerani and after the partition in 1947, Faiz, Noon Meim Rashid, Majeed Amjed and Munir Niazi composed their poetry mostly in Urdu. Hence Urdu prospered as a literary expression somewhat at the expense of Punjabi. Besides Urdu became the language of the media in the Punjab. In the whole process Punjabi was flung to the margins. It has, however, been used in some domains of power in the Indian state of Punjab. The legacy of the British is obsequiously being followed in Pakistan. ________________________________________________________________ Punjabi - the sum total of all its mutually intelligible varieties - is an ancient language. It might have been spoken in the 11th century when Sa’d Salman (d.1121) wrote one of his collections of verse (divan) in ‘Hindi’. However, since that divan is lost, no credible claim can be made as to its language.1 It is known, however, that Amir Khusro (d.
