Language has no barriers and as far as Urdu is concerned it is globally recognised as one of the richest languages in terms of its influence on countries, communities, prose, poetry and daily use.

The depth of the Urdu language can be gauged from the vast treasure of poetry in the form of Ghazals, Nazms, Marsiya, Qasida, Naat, Qawwali and many other off shoots of Urdu poetry.

The course, which was introduced on 8 February and commences on 11 February (subject to minimum threshold participation), is designed for people who enjoy listening to Urdu poetry, but are often at a loss, when it comes to understanding the different forms, the vocabulary and knowing more about the poet and the genre.  We will study the works of masters such as Meer, Ghalib, Ustad Zauq, Jigar, Faiz. Sahir and others.

Participants will be able to increase their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of selected works.

All those who wish to enroll for these sessions will be registered on an ongoing basis, however, it is highly recommended to enroll from the first class itself.A nominal charge will be taken for any material, which is distributed for reference.  Registrations can be done by calling UdaipurTimes on +91 9950399985 OR Farhat Hussain on +91 9929903331.
