Join us for "Mirza Ghalib in India's Long 19th Century: The Poet in His Labyrinth", a talk by Raza Mir. Born in Mughal India and dying in colonial India, Ghalib is remembered as a paragon of Urdu poetry. His life exemplifies India’s turbulent engagement with modernity, marked by technological advancement, institutional change, and events like the Great Revolt of 1857. Raza Mir will use incidents from Ghalib’s life to chart this upheaval. Raza Mir, a professor at William Paterson University, is the author of "Murder at the Mushaira" and four other books on Urdu literature. Please contact 040-2323-7789 for further details.
