Its core purpose was to bring Gujarati writers and poets together, mainly through Ghazal writing and holding Mushairas in order to keep the Gujarati language, poetry and culture alive here in the UK. We are pleased to say that we have succeeded in fulfilling this purpose to a large extent by: • providing inspiration and guidance to a number of budding poets; • holding as many as 65 Mushairas so far in various towns and cities across the country; • organising literary seminars and poetry workshops; • undertaking publication of poets works from time to time; • publishing and distributing free of charge booklets as memoirs of Mushaira events; and • inspiring a number of poets in different parts of the country to write Ghazals and form similar groups in their own areas to promote the Gujarati language and literature. The activities we have carried out and the progress we have made would not have been possible without the valuable assistance and encouragement from our friends and supporters and financial backing from various arts and other organisations including the local Councils. We are grateful to them all and hope that they will continue to support us so that we can carry on sharing our ideas, imagination, dreams and vision with our Gujarati speaking community and keep the language and the culture alive for as long as possible. Yacoob ‘Mahek’ President 2 Ghazal The most popular form of poetry both in Urdu and in Gujarati these days is known as Ghazal, which is similar to lyric in English poetry and means “talking to the tender sex”. It is usually short with the same rhyme and rhythm throughout. It is composed of a few couplets beginning with a Matla meaning the ‘rise’ in which both lines have the same rhyme and ends with a Maqta meaning the ‘end’ in which the poet generally indicates his adopted pseudonym. In a Ghazal every couplet is a complete unit in itself, rounding up an idea or a picture within the constraints of its two lines and its own rhyme and rhythm. This is one of the peculiarities of Ghazal, requiring great skill and discipline to say in one line or couplet what in other literatures would have to be said in a complete poem. The most common themes are love, ‘Tasawwuf’ (mysticism), ‘Gham-e- Jana’ (poet’s personal sorrow) and ‘Gham-e-Doran’ (the sorrow of the world). In Ghazal, the Sufis (mystics) found a very convenient medium for expressing their love of God, their beloved. The subject matter of modern Ghazal ranges from the helplessness and hopelessness of modern man to the lovey-dovey talk of the love sick. Ghazal appeals equally to the literary critic and lay reader, which is one of the reasons for its past and present popularity. Gujarati Ghazal was first introduced in the UK in the sixties by the poets of the Gujarati Writers Guild UK. Mahek Tankarvi and Kadam Tankarvi, the two most prominent of those poets and also the founder members of the Guild, played an important role in popularising Ghazal by regularly holding Mushairas – first in Lancashire and then in other towns and cities of the UK. The arrival from India of the renowned Ghazal writer Adam Tankarvi in 1991, the frequent visits by the famous poet Adil Mansuri from the USA and other well known Ghazal writers from Gujarat gave an impetus to this literary activity, which is now flourishing. 3 Mushaira Mushaira is the gathering of poets for the reading or recitation of their compositions. It has played an important role in the development of both Urdu and Gujarati Ghazal. In the past these events provided opportunities for masters and pupils to meet, recite their Ghazals and criticise. It is a pity that the age of masters and pupils is gone and this is not happening anymore. Held on various occasions, Mushairas are very popular even today and are most enjoyed by the participating audiences. They can be both educational and entertaining. In addition, they enable the poet to share his experiences, dreams, ideas and interpretation of life with an appreciative audience. In a Mushaira, some poets prefer to read their Ghazal in a plain way, while others prefer to recite it in a sing song manner (Tarannum).

  • The Role of Poetry Readings in Dispelling the Notion That Urdu Is a Muslim Language
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 10; August 2014 The Role of Poetry Readings in Dispelling the Notion that Urdu is a Muslim Language Hiba Mirza G-1, Maharani Bagh New Delhi – 110 065 India Abstract Looking at the grim scenario of the future of Urdu in India, and its overwhelming identification with a particular community (i.e., Muslims) have indeed contributed in creating a narrow image of sectarian interests. However, the concern of the intellectuals about its declining trend, seems to be melting, if we take the case of Mushaira (poetic symposium). Through interviews with both the organisers and the attendees of Delhi Mushairas I collected a serious of impressions that speak to the role of a Mushaira in advancing a cosmopolitan, rather than a communal image of Urdu. Uniting people through poetry, mushairas temporarily dissolve differences of caste, creed and religion. Keywords: Urdu, Narrow image, declining, communal, cosmopolitan Urdu hai mera naam, main Khusro ki paheli Main Meer ki humraaz hun, Ghalib ki saheli My name is Urdu and I am Khusro’s riddle I am Meer’s confidante and Ghalib’s friend Kyun mujhko banate ho ta’assub ka nishana, Maine to kabhi khudko musalma’an nahin maana Why have you made me a target of bigotry? I have never thought myself a Muslim Dekha tha kabhi maine bhi khushiyon ka zamaana Apne hi watan mein hun magar aaj akeli I too have seen an era of happiness But today I am an orphan in my own country - Iqbal Ashar - (Translation by Rana Safvi) 1.0 Introduction India is a pluralistic society.

  • Appropriation of Hindustani Musical Elements in Vocal Parts of Malay Ghazal
    43 Chintaka Prageeth Meddegoda Appropriation of Hindustani Musical Elements in Vocal Parts of Malay Ghazal Chintaka Prageeth Meddegoda, University of Visual and Performing Arts, Colombo, Sri Lanka [email protected] © 2016 University of Malaya. All rights reserved. Malaysian Journal of Performing and Visual Arts, Volume 2, 2016 Abstract The main task of this paper is to illustrate how Hindustani musical elements are employed in the vocal lines of Malay ghazal which have been obscured or modified and “Malayized” throughout the past decades. In current Malay ghazal practices known in Johor, a particular singing style called “Parsi” that primarily focused on a specific embellishment of the melodic line could be observed. Another particular element is called “sarigama-singing” (Arshad, 2013; Rahman B., 2012) that refers to melodic ornaments resembling the gamak and taan in Hindustani classical music. The adaptation and its outcome that have been documented in some selected ghazals confirm the existence of a discerning tolerance towards elements detached from their originating cultural environment. This paper discusses stereotypical melodic elements sung by Malay musicians in Malay ghazal. Although various raga elements can be detected in the vocal melodies, these elements are not acknowledged and are not terminologically familiar to Malay ghazal musicians. The detected ragas maintain one tonic, which means that the main fifth (Sa- Pa) applies as a frame for an entire given melody. The range in which Malay ghazal is sung does not exceed one octave. Nonetheless, the actual starting pitch is somewhat fixed through the fact that early harmoniums could not shift in pitch. Therefore, Malay ghazals are mainly played for a high pitched male or a lower pitched female voice.

  • Manchester Multi-Language Mushaira 2019 Project Outline for Facilitators UNESCO International Mother Language Day Background
    Manchester Multi-Language Mushaira 2019 Project Outline for Facilitators UNESCO International Mother Language Day Background: Mother Language Day has been observed internationally for nearly 20 years. It celebrates the right to speak in mother languages. It originated through the campaign by Bengali speakers who sought to have the linguistic and cultural rights of an entire population recognized and respected. People died defending this right. In honour of the campaign, on the 17th of November 1999, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared February 21st as International Mother Language Day. It was ratified by the UN General Assembly a decade later — “to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world”. For further information: https://en.unesco.org/commemorations/motherlanguageday What is a Mushaira? Definition: Mushaira - poetic symposium. This is an Urdu term, used to describe an event where poets gather to perform their works. A mushaira is a beloved part of the culture of Pakistan and North India and it is greatly admired by participants as a forum for free self-expression. A mushaira can be a small gathering of friends or a huge event. Traditionally, a mushaira is a poetry performance in South-East Asian languages. Mushairas can be quite lively and interactive; think of a poetry-slam, with audiences calling out for the poets to repeat their best lines and giving loud vocal praise on the spot! On page 11 of the Mushaira Resource Pack, you will find a fun exercise demonstrating the way an audience member can interact with a poet.

Introduction ocated in the north-west of the South LAsian sub-continent, Pakistan is a relatively new political entity. Comprising four provinces (North West Frontier Province, Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan) and the tribal areas, northern areas, and the state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan represents a great diversity of topography, bio- climates, peoples, and cultures. The rural-urban division is sharp, as are the disparities between the rich and the poor. The land was the home of ancient civilisations and the meeting point of great cultures: Buddhist, Greek, Muslim, and Hindu. Consequently, Pakistan has a rich heritage of architecture, folklore, art, and music. Its people share the common traits of hospitality, warmth, and Village in Sindh province.

  • The Indian Mushairah: Traditions and Modernity
    Ludmila Vasilyeva (Moscow) THE INDIAN MUSHAIRAH: TRADITIONS AND MODERNITY Look – the gathering of the mushairah is adorned with nobles and aristocrats. Sober elders and young men sit side by side dressed in long robes and heavy turbans. Someone has only a dagger, someone else has strapped on a sword. Some are so elderly that white beards have made their old age radiant. Some, in their youthfulness, have happened to bid farewell to their beards – now how should they wear beards, for the law of consistency of style would be broken… Muhammad Husain Azad1 A spacious square, covered with mats, its major part being shadowed by a gigantic tent il- luminated by countless lamps of every colour. Men in great numbers are evenly seated in rows upon the mats – it seems that the whole city has assembled here! The atmosphere is festive and ceremonial. It’s a mushairah [ mush ā’irah ] famed grey-haired poets along with their young and less known colleagues are to read out their poems. To enjoy this recital the dwellers of the city and its suburbs began to flock to the square long in advance. The mushairah helps to forget and drive away the troubles and problems of everyday life; only the realm of poetry remains in which the audience will stay till dawn: as a rule, city mushairah opens late in the evening and ends at sunrise. The chairman announces a poet` s name and places the mike before one of the men seated upon the dais. The audience holds its breath in anticipation. The poet reads out the first line and all of a sudden the whole crowd, many thousands,

ABSTRACT ^ /y. - OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF / JBottor of ${|ilos;op))p <•;'•'- '• ENGLISH s SYED HUMAYOUN SHABIR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SAMI RAFIQ DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH-202 002 (INDIA) 2013 Abstract The thesis is an attempt to study the poetry of Agha Shahid Ali in detail trying to cover almost whole of his poetry. The thesis has attempted to examine Agha Shahid All's multicultural upbringing and its influence on the themes and techniques of his poetry. Ali sees himself as a part of many cultiires— Kashmiri, Indian, Islamic and Western, and his poetry gives glimpse of his journey from one culture to another, and from one home to another. He writes about his home, both old and new, and tries to retrieve the loss of his culture and home through poetry. I have approached my thesis reading whole of his poetry together, and not forming titles of the chapters based on the title of his books, but on the various themes and concerns that become subject of his poetry. The thesis has been divided into five chapters besides Introduction and Conclusion. Chapter I of the thesis is "Agha Shahid Ali and the Modem Indian English Poetic Tradition." The chapter deals with Ali in context of the post independence modem Indian English poetic tradition; particularly with reference to the poets like Nissim Ezekiel, A K Ramanujan, Kamala Das, Arun Kolatkar, Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, Gieve Patel, Meena Alexander, Shiv K Kumar etc.
