About 'Urdu Hai Jiska Naam'

----------------

Urdu is perceived as a language of culture, of sophistication, philosophy, romance, and poetry ! 'Urdu Hai Jiska Naam' is an attempt to enter the rich world of Urdu literature.

Our readings are carefully curated, so that every piece of writing is placed in a social and cultural context which enhances its accessibility and illuminates its larger meaning. Listeners get to know the writer’s personality and idiosyncrasies, they get to know the times in which the piece was written, they get a sense of “being there”.

And all this rendered by a pool of highly skilled theatre actors. It’s quite remarkable how listeners, young and old, build a special relationship with Urdu.
