Tributes to legendary Hindi film lyricist and poet Rajinder Krishan, on his 100th birth anniversary today. Rajinder Krishan, the man behind such early hit numbers as ‘Mere Piya Gaye Rangoon’ from Patanga (1949), ‘Chup Chup Khade Ho’ from Badi Bahen (1949), ‘Eena Meena Deeka’ from Aasha (1952), and ‘Ye Zindagi Usiki Hai’ from Anarkali (1953), was a skilled dialogue writer and lyricist associated with the Hindi film industry for nearly five decades. One of the major Hindi film lyricists of 1950s and 1960s, Rajinder Krishan has worked with a number of music composers and wrote memorable songs like "Chup chup khade ho" from Badi Bahen (1949), "Man dole mera tan dole" from Nagin (1954) for which he also wrote the dialogues, "Jaag dard-e ishq jag" from Anarkali (1953), and the unforgettable "Main chali main chali" from Padosan, 1968. In his long career in Hindi films, he wrote lyrics for over 300 films and also wrote screenplays for over hundred films. For instance in the film Padosan, Krishan not only penned the lyrics of its immortal musical numbers that catapulted Kishore Kumar to stardom, he also wrote the screenplay and dialogues for the film. Rajinder Krishan was born on June 6, 1919 in district Jalalpur Jattan in Gujarat. Since his early childhood, Krishan was greatly influenced by Hindi and Urdu poets like Firaq Gorakhpuri and Ahsan Danish, as well as Pant and Nirala. During his years in Jalalpur Jattan and later in Shimla, Krishan participated in a number of poetry recitals and gave his voice part-time, while he worked in a government job. In 1942, Krishan left his family and moved to Mumbai to make a career in the Hindi film industry. After an initial period of struggle, Krishnan got his first film as a screenwriter for Janta (1947). His first film as a lyric writer was Zanjeer (1947). The Motilal-Suraiyya starrer, Aaj Ki Raat (1948) gave Krishan his first big break within Hindi films. Soon he found success with iconic songs such as "Chali chali re patang meri" (Bhabhi, 1957). The specialty of Rajinder Krishan's songs lies in their simplicity, coupled with innovation. The lyrics he penned were versatile, and could be adapted to any situation, making him popular choice with music composers like Sajjid Hussain, SD Burman, S Mohinder, Chitragupt and Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

Hong Kong and Islamabad (CNN) — The world's second highest mountain, K2 in Pakistan, has welcomed a record-breaking number of climbers this year amid a post-pandemic surge of summit fever. Some 207 permits were issued for ascending K2, says Sajjid Hussain, a tourism official in Gilgit Baltistan, the region bordering China which is home to the Karakoram Mountains, a range containing all five if Pakistan's peaks over 8,000 meters (26,000 feet).K2, which reaches 8,611 meters above sea level, is considered by many mountaineers to be more technically challenging than Everest. But temperate weather during July, typically the best time of year to summit the peak, plus the relative ease of travel compared to previous years and a stable political situation in the country, is believed to have contributed to the record number of ascents. Another factor was the pent-up demand that grew during the pandemic. With some of the world's highest peaks off-limits or difficult to access due to Covid-related border closures, many climbers have spent the past two years saving money and prepping for a return to the mountains.While K2 is more physically difficult to ascend, it is significantly cheaper than Everest. Permits to climb the world's highest mountain cost $11,000 per person, and would-be climbers also need to calculate the costs of travel to and from Nepal, clothing, equipment, food and hired guides and Sherpas.Meanwhile, a K2 climbing permit -- which often covers the other four "eight thousander" peaks nearby -- can be had for $7,200 for a group of seven people.The number of permits wasn't the only record set this year.Mirza Ali, founder of Pakistan-based mountaineering company Karakorum Expeditions, tells CNN that a record 20 women have summited K2 so far this summer. Among that group are Samina Baig, the first Pakistani woman to make it to the top, and Jenn Drummond, the American on a quest to become the first woman to climb all of the seven second summits," the second-highest mountains on every continent. K2 was the final mountain that Drummond needed to climb in order to set her historic record. Source

Urdu Literary Criticism | Best Urdu Literary | Adeel Zaidi

URDU LITERARY CRITICISM Abdul Qavi Desnavi Muhammad Husain Azad Altaf Hussain Maulana Hali Shibli Nomani Abdur Rahman Bijnori Allama Niyaz Fatehpuri Rasheed Ahmad Siddiqi Syed Abid Ali Abid Ehtesham Hussain Syed Waqar Azeem Majnun Gorakhpuri Mumtaz Hussain Ali Sardar Jafri Malik Ram Gopi Chand Narang Shamsur Rahman Faruqi Gyan Chand Wazir Agha Waris Alwi Gopi Chand Narang Muzaffar Hanfi Aslam Farrukhi Progressive Writers Movement/ ( ترقی پسند تحریک) According to The Dawn, “Progressive Writers Movement” in Urdu literature was the strongest movement after Sir Syed’s education movement. The progressives contributed to Urdu literature some of the finest pieces of fiction and poetry. Undoubtedly, they were the trend-setters for the coming generation of writers, and their role cannot be denigrated or denied.” [1] Aamir Sohail(Abbottabad Public School,Abbottabad,Pakistan)

Modernism The modernist movement started in Urdu literature near 1960. The two most eminent names in this movement emerged are Shamsur Rehman Farooqui and Gopichand Narang. Eminent poets like Noon Meem Rashid and Meeraji are related to it. Apart from them a number of other poets like Zafer Iqbal, Nasir Kazmi, Bashir Bader and Shahryar are related to this movement. This movement laid more stress on symbolic and other indirect expressions as opposed to direct and clear expressions.Best Urdu Literary

Post-Modernism The post modernism was introduced in a big way by Gopi Chand Narang. There are many other critics in Urdu literature who are also attached to this approach of criticism. The post modernism does not claim to be a movement and does not demand any writer to adopt a particular style of writing. It generally concentrates on a method of understanding the contemporary literature in the light of its content – mostly to the features like feminism, dalit, regional and other types of literature as opposed to a seeking uniformity in the global literature on the basis of internationally established trends.

Independent Writers By the end of the 1980s the atmosphere in Urdu literature became very depressing.The progressive movement was almost dead and the modernist movement had started showing it’s complete infertility. But this was also time for upsurge of new creative forces which was basically rooted in the new life that was metamorphosing the socio-economic and political climate in the sub-continent after the days of partition and freedom. It was under this climate that the a new era of fiction started withthe publication of Paigham Afaqui’s novel Makaan. Almost allergic and fed up with the attempts of various literary movements to influence the styles and thoughts of the writers and the literary politics emerging out of the commitments to the movements which created a vicious circle of promoting chosen writers and misuse of resources and awards for promoting their own brands by these movements,Paigham Afaqui and other writers refused to be identified by any movement and displayed complete independence in using personally developed styles and technique for writing novel and explored their own philosophy and vision of life that suited their need.It was a serious departure from the theme of partition which dominated writers like Qurtul Ain haider and Abdullah Hussain and the theme of existentialism which was the benchmark of modernism. Writers like Ghazanfer and Musharraf Alam Zauqi have further widened the horizons of new themes and concerned.Urdu Literary Criticism

Urdu Journalism The Persian newspapers of West Bengal were fore-runners of the Urdu press. Two prominent periodicals were Jam-i-Jahan-Numa, founded by Lal Sadasukh Lal in 1822 and Mirat-ul-Akhbar (Mirror of News) by Raja Rammohan Roy. After the decline of Persian as an official language, Urdu gained prominence. There was extensive growth in Urdu jurnalism from the 1850s till Independence in 1947.

On 14 January 1850, Munshi Harsukh Rai started the weekly Kohinoor, which had a remarkably high (for those times) circulation of 350 copies. In 1858, Manbir Kabiruddin started the Urdu Guide, the first Urdu daily, from Calcutta. Another important paper founded that year was Roznamha-e-Punjab from Lahore. Oudh Akhbar by Munshi Nawal Kishore was the first Urdu newspaper from Lucknow, also begun in 1858.

The first Urdu newspapers of Delhi were Fawaid-ul-Nazarin and Kiran-us-Sadai, founded by Rama Chandra in 1852. The Urdu press in Delhi became highly critical of the British government. The best example of them is the Urdu Akhbar, edited by Syed Hasan, which highlighted many civic issues like drainage, sanitation, adulteration of food, and corruption.

In 1877, Maulvi Nasir Ali, one of the founders of Anjuman Islamia- the Islamic intellectual and political movement- founded 3 newspapers- Nusrat-ul-Akhbar, Nusrat-ul-Islam and Mihir-e-Darakhshan. All three focused on current civil and political affairs and were valuable aids of Muslim empowerment. In 1877, Oudh Punch, the first humour magazine in Urdu was started by Sajjid Hussain. The first women’s journal in Urdu was Akhbar-un-Nisa.

Urdu journalism took on a strongly nationalistic note towards the turn of the 20th century. Zameendar, was started in Lahore in 1903. It was the first Urdu newspaper to subscribe to news agencies. Zameendar was intensely nationalistic, which boosted its circulation to over 30,000 copies. In 1902, Maulvi Sanaullah Khan started the weekly Watan, meaning motherland. Watan was intensely nationalistic and continued for 33 years. Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar started Naqeeb-e-Hamdard in 1912. Another powerful political periodical was the Madina, edited by Hamidul Ansari.

The greatest Urdu periodical that time was Al Hilal, started by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. (refer notes).

In 1919, the Pratap was started in Lahore by Mahshe Krishnan. It vigorously supported Gandhi’s policies and the Indian National Congress. It was a victim of government harassment and suspended publication several times. It had great influence among the Urdu reading Hindus of Punjab and Delhi.

In 1923, Swami Shraddhanand founded the Tej with Lala Deshbandhu Gupta as editor. It had a wide circulation in Rajasthan, U.P. and Delhi. It was confiscated several times by the government and banned in a number of princely states. In the same year, 1923, the Arya Samaj started the Milap, a daily in Lahore. It was known for its powerful nationalistic editorials. Jawaharlal Nehru founded Qaumi Awaaz in 1945.

Urdu journalism suffered heavily, during and after Partition. Riots in Lahore lead to mobs raiding the office of Milap and burning machines and newsprint. Its Managing Editor, Ranbir was stabbed and the paper was closed for six weeks. It then shifted to Delhi. Due to the unrest, the Pratap also shifted to Delhi.
