London: The Indian Muslim Federation (IMF) is organising a seminar on Daccani- A Common Foundation of Urdu and Hindi at London Nehru Center in July this year, the organizers informed ummid.com.

 

Deccani or proto Urdu/Hindi is one of the Sanskrit based idiom which developed in the Deccan during the 14th to the end of the 17th centuries. Enormous literature produced in Deccani comprises various types of prose and poetry to include ghazal, narrative verse, geet and a variety of prose all recorded in Persian script. This Indic idiom assimilated influence from a number of Indian and foreign languages such as Braj, Marathi, Telugu, Kanarese, Persian and Arabic. It is, if not the only, the main recorded source for tracing the development of modern Urdu and Hindi.

 

Stating that the proposed seminar aims at going into the Deccani idiom as a linking factor between Urdu and Hindi and its impact on many other Indian languages, the organizers said, “The seminar also intends to explore studies so far made in Deccani in India and abroad.”

 

The three day seminar inaugurated by a Sham-e-Ghazal on July 24 in the evening would be followed by a full day seminar each on July 25 & 26 on Deccani - A Common Foundation of Urdu and Hindi.

 

An Urdu/Hindi Mushaira is also scheduled later in the evening on July 25, informed the organizers.

 

During the seminar, Mayray Draamay London Mein, the book authored by Shamsudin Agha - renowned writer, stage director and actor, who pioneered Asian Theatre in London in the late sixties would also be launched, IMF sources said.

 

Eminent scholars from India and European countries and the USA including Former President, Sahitya Academi Dehli Dr. Gopi Chand Narang, Former professor and Head Department of Hindi Jawaharlal Nehru University, Vice Chairman ICCR Dr Shahid Mehdi and Chairman Ilmi Majlis London Dr M Z A Shakeb are expected to grace the event.
