  • A Survey of Urdu Literature, 1850-1975 by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi
    Conflict, Transition, and Hesitant Resolution: A Survey Of Urdu Literature, 1850-1975 by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi [Note: the definitive version of this article was published in K. M. George, ed., Modern Indian Literature--An Anthology; Volume One: Surveys and Poems (New Delhi: Sahitya Akademi, 1992), pp. 420-442.] For much of North India, the world changed twice in 1857. It first changed in May, when columns of Company soldiers marched into Delhi and proclaimed the end of Company Bahadur's rule. The world changed again in September, by which time it was clear that the brief Indian summer of Indian rule was decisively over. If the first change was violent and disorderly, it was also fired by a desperate hope, and a burning anger. Anger had generated hope--hope that the supercilious and brutal foreigner, who understood so little of Indian values and Indian culture, could still be driven out, that he was not a supernatural force, or an irrevocable curse on the land of Hindustan. The events of 1857-1858 drove the anger underground, and destroyed the hope. The defeat, dispersal, and death of the rebels signalled the end of an age, and the ushering in of a new order. It was an order which was essentially established by force, but which sought to legitimate itself on the grounds of moral superiority. It claimed that its physical supremacy resulted from its superior intellectual apparatus and ethical code, rather than merely from an advantage in numbers or resources. It was thus quite natural for the English to try to change Indian society from both the inside and outside.

The two schools are named after the cities of Delhi and Lucknow, Muslim India's two greatest centers of Urdu culture. Dihlavi poetry (the poetry written in Delhi), considered by critics to be truer to the Persian literary tradition than the poetry of Lucknow, is described as emphasizing mystical concerns, Persian styles of composition, and a straightforward, melancholy poetic diction.

  • Naqshbandi Sufi, Persian Poet
    ABD AL-RAHMAN JAMI: “NAQSHBANDI SUFI, PERSIAN POET A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Farah Fatima Golparvaran Shadchehr, M.A. The Ohio State University 2008 Approved by Professor Stephen Dale, Advisor Professor Dick Davis Professor Joseph Zeidan ____________________ Advisor Graduate Program in History Copyright by Farah Shadchehr 2008 ABSTRACT The era of the Timurids, the dynasty that ruled Transoxiana, Iran, and Afghanistan from 1370 to 1506 had a profound cultural and artistic impact on the history of Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire, and Mughal India in the early modern era. While Timurid fine art such as miniature painting has been extensively studied, the literary production of the era has not been fully explored. Abd al-Rahman Jami (817/1414- 898/1492), the most renowned poet of the Timurids, is among those Timurid poets who have not been methodically studied in Iran and the West. Although, Jami was recognized by his contemporaries as a major authority in several disciplines, such as science, philosophy, astronomy, music, art, and most important of all poetry, he has yet not been entirely acknowledged in the post Timurid era. This dissertation highlights the significant contribution of Jami, the great poet and Sufi thinker of the fifteenth century, who is regarded as the last great classical poet of Persian literature. It discusses his influence on Persian literature, his central role in the Naqshbandi Order, and his input in clarifying Ibn Arabi's thought. Jami spent most of his life in Herat, the main center for artistic ability and aptitude in the fifteenth century; the city where Jami grew up, studied, flourished and produced a variety of prose and poetry.

  • English Articles
    Experiments in form of Modern Urdu Poetry Here are many unresolved problems in Urdu literature and Nazm is one such genre. It is difficult for us, students of literature. to apprehend the constraints of literary luminaries that made them call a prominent and well known genre as Nazm., while the whole poetic tradition that stands apart from the prose could also be called Nazm. Nevertheless my present article is a synthesis of the two different subjectsModern poetry and Experiments in form. There is room enough for writing two different elaborate articles on both the subjects separately.And there is a need for writing on these subjects since they are still bone of contention. First and foremost Prof. Kalimuddin Ahmad wrote a number of articles on Nazm and tried to elaborate its distinctive qualities. While elaborating Nazm, he emphasized distinctive elements, which are incidentally essential for the popular genres of prose such as novel, drama and short story. Hence no ground was gained. Several critics after Kalimuddin wrote on the subject but a comprehensive definition of Nazm could not be ascertained. Thus a discussion on Nazm as a genre has always proved as allusive as finding a black cat in a dark room. Dr. Wazir Agha has written books and several articles on the subject of Nazm in which he has discussed on various aspects of Nazm vary conducively. Nevertheless he also touched the sensitive issue of the difference between Ghazals and Nazm very superficially saying that Ghazal is the product of the east while Nazm is the product of the west.

  • 1 GHAZAL the Ghazal Is a Form of Lyrical Poetry. It Is Originally Exotic To
    GHAZAL The ghazal is a form of lyrical poetry. It is originally exotic to South Asia, as is indicated by the very sounds of the name itself when properly pronounced as ġazal, with its very un-Indian initial rolled ‘g’. But like many exotics which have long been transplanted into a new environment, over the centuries of its life in South Asia the ghazal was successfully adapted and developed, first in Persian, then in Urdu, now also in other South Asian languages. The continuing popularity of this adaptable form is testimony to its enduring significance as one of the major poetic and musical forms of modern Indo-Pakistani culture. Origins and Earlier Development While it has close analogies in Arabic poetry, the ghazal is of Persian origin. Formally a short lyric composed in a single metre with a single rhyme throughout, in its style and content it is a genre which has proved capable of an extraordinary variety of expression around its central theme of love. The ghazal is thus itself one of the most striking examples of those successful cultural artefacts, consisting of a seemingly infinitely adaptable combination of essentially simple elements, which are so characteristic of the Persianate civilization of the eastern Islamic world. Immensely popular over many centuries and across a huge geographical area, the ghazal was cultivated over the whole of this world, at least from quite early in the second millennium CE. Besides the vast numbers of ghazals composed in Persian itself, the genre was later also intensively cultivated in the other literatures which were heavily shaped by Persian, notably those composed in Ottoman Turkish and in Urdu.1 1 In the early mediaeval period the most prestigious form of courtly Persian poetry was the qasida, a lengthy formal ode taken over from Arabic.2 The ghazal thus seems first to have been seriously cultivated not in the courts of the sultans but at the centres of the Sufis, and one of the first and greatest collections (divan) of mystical ghazals was that composed by Jalal al-Din Rumi (d.

  • I Radical Politics and the Urdu Literary World in the Era Of
    Radical Politics and the Urdu Literary World in the Era of South Asian Nationalisms c.1919 - 1952 A dissertation submitted by Sarah Waheed In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History TUFTS UNIVERSITY February 2011 Advisor: Dr. Ayesha Jalal i Abstract This dissertation is a historical study of the cultural and intellectual trends amongst Urdu intellectuals in South Asia during the decades immediately preceding and following the attainment of formal independence in 1947. I argue that linking literary radicalism in late colonial North India to a much longer history of the Urdu language and cultural milieu provides fresh insights for understanding nationalisms in South Asia. The intellectual and cultural history of the upper middle-class strata of Muslim society from cities such as Delhi and Lahore reveals that writers from Muslim backgrounds—representing a relatively small fraction of the entire anti-colonial Indian intelligentsia—came to play a very strong role in the radical, left-leaning literary landscape.
