Description

NAPA TALKS brings you an evening of powerful literary recitation from the work of the famous ‘Shaa’ir-i-Inqilaab’ Josh Malihabadi, one of the major Urdu poets of the twentieth century who injected modern revolutionary zeal into classical Urdu heroic poetry, and discussed the significance of Karbala as a guiding light for the universal human spirit.

‘Insaan Ko Bedaar To Ho Lene Do’: Josh Malihabadi, Karbala, and the Idea of Universal Revolution

We look forward to hearing the famous Urdu scholar and political activist Dr Aliya Imam recite tracts from Josh’s powerful verse, as she discusses the poet’s literary vision and legacy, with Ms Zahra Sabri, scholar of Indo-Islamic History and Literatures.
