An exhibition highlighting the contributions of poets like Josh Malihabadi, Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’ and Dwarika Prasad Maheswari in the freedom struggle through their poetic works have been put on display today at an exhibition organised by Jamia's Premchand Archives and Literary Centre (JPALC) as part of the country’s 70th Independence Day celebrations.

The exhibition ‘Qalam ke Sipahiyon Ko Salam’ on select and Kavya- Kalaam of Indian Freedom Movement Poets was inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Talat Ahmad.

Other Indian freedom movement poets whose writings are on exhibition include Mohd. Hussain Ázad, Harvansh Rai Bacchan, Allama Shibli Nomani, Sarojni Naidu, Makhanlal Chaturvedi, Jaishankar Prasad, Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala’, Ram Prasad ‘Bismil’, , Israrul Haq and Mahavir Prasad Dwedi. The exhibition also has a poem by former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee the most contemporary among these poets.

This selection of Hindi, Urdu Kavya-Kalaam of Indian Freedom Movement Poets will be on exhibit till August 25.

Prof. Ahmad who spent nearly an hour at the exhibition said that “it was imperative that we draw inspiration from the works of such great poets. Through this exhibition Jamia Millia Islamia is making a concerted effort to inculcate the spirit of nationalism among the students.”

Prof. Sabiha Anjum Zaidi, Director of JPALC said that “such literature that goes into the making of independent should be preserved and cherished and their message, spirit and ethos shared with the younger generation”. She also said that just a few poets have found a place in the exhibition but there are thousands of such poets north, south, east and west who raised their voice against exploitation of India by the foreign rulers. These poetic versus became a potent weapon to challenge the colonial rule which is why many of them were banned.
