The campus shifted from Aligarh to Delhi in 1925 and the new university demonstrated that a society with diverse foundation stone of the present campus was laid on 1 cultures could be groomed into a modern nation on March 1930. Since then, the university has expanded the basis of a shared culture and perspective. In Jamia, and become known as a premier educational institution Hindu and Muslim, and other students not only studied of the country. Recognising its contributions in the field together, they also ate and lived together in a spartan of teaching, research and extension work, the University lifestyle.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfllment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2014 Acknowledgments Dissertations owe their existence to a community of people who support their authors and the awkward acknowledgments section does little to give enough credit where it’s due. Nonetheless, I tip my hat to the myriad people who helped me. Fieldwork was a long process with strange turns. Fellow tea-drinkers and gossips in Muzafarnagar were witty, sagacious, hospitable, and challenging companions who helped me to chart this project albeit indirectly. Though my mufassal phase only gets a nod in the present work, Muzafarnagar-folks’ insights and values informed my understanding of Urdu literature’s early history and taught me what to look for while wading through compendiums. Now the next project will be better prepared to tell their complicated and intriguing stories. Had it not been for Syed Akbar Hyder, my advisor and guide, there would be no “speech market.” He knew me, my strengths, hopefully overlooked my shortcomings, and put me on a path perfectly hewn for my interests.

  • 'It Must Flow' a Life in Theatre Habib Tanvir
    'It Must Flow' A Life in Theatre Habib Tanvir The noted director Habib Tanvir, delves into his childhood as he traces the story of his life in theatre. Interjections by ANJUM KATYAL and BIREN DAS SHARMA appear in italics, within brackets. I come from a religious family. My father was a very religious man. But my maternal uncles were fond of both music and poetry. My father hailed from Peshawar and my mother came from Raipur. We were all born there. I was born in 1923. Raipur is more or less a kind of capital of Chhattisgarh, which consists of six districts. It's a large region: Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Raegarh and Bastar. So, it is ethnically compactethnically and linguistically. The dialect spoken by and large is Chhattisgarhi, which is a dialect of Hindi, like Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Brij and all the other dialects of Hindi prevalent in U.P. and elsewhere. My elder brother used to take part in plays when I was a child. He used to do women's roles in amateur plays. Once a year in Kalibari some friends would get together and they would put up a play. When I was in school, I used to go to see these plays. They were usually in Urdu. They belonged to what we call the Parsi theatre tradition, because of the professional companies run by Parsis, doing predominantly Urdu drama. There was a whole crop of playwrights that this movement had given rise to; they toured all over India. Many of them originated in Lucknow, then travelled to Calcutta, Amritsar, Lahore, Bombay, all over the country.

Alarmingly, even as assaults continued unabated, the State was all set to take on the mantle of the chief censor with repressive regulatory and surveillance mechanisms being put in place even as the year was winding down. There was no respite from the killings and attacks on media professionals, censorship of news, an unprecedented number of legal notices and defamation cases and sedition cases filed against journalists, social and political activists and citizens who voiced dissent.
