The period leading up to 1857 in Delhi is written about in very contradictory terms. Sometimes it is called the last flicker before the candle goes out. But this is the high point of Urdu literature and poetry; it is the lifetime of Ghalib, Momin, Zauq, Bahadur Shah, and of Delhi college. It is also the time of the total decline of the Mughal dynasty. There were so many interesting things happening yet it is talked about in cliches. Earlier colonial historians pushed the idea that the period was decadent because it served to then justify British rule and the belief that it was needed for India to progress.

We talk about what the long-term effects might be on livelihoods and on health and education outcomes, and the interventions that can help minimize these effects. Tahir is the Stedman-Sumner Professor of Economics at Pomona College. He was the inaugeral Dean of the LUMS School of Education, and a co-founder of the Center for Economic Research in Pakistan. It's his research on education that has achieved the most prominence, but the reason I'm talking to him for this episode is his work on disaster recovery in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.Some links to what we talked about: An archived version of RISE-PAK, the information aggregation portal developed by Tahir and his collaborators to aid recovery efforts following the 2005 earthquake. Tahir's paper (with Benjamin Daniels and Jishnu Das) on the effects of the 2005 earthquake on income, education, and health outcomes. Floods Impact Assessment by Uzair Younis and Ammar Khan, the source for the $13B damage estimate we discussed. Abida Parveen's rendition of Ghalib's "Yeh Na Thi Hamari Qismat", from which Tahir quotes a couplet to illustrate Pakistan's climate crisis.

Hamtramck, surrounded by Detroit, is perhaps the only U.S. town with a Muslim majority population, as well as the first one governed entirely by Muslims. It's newly-minted mayor, Amer Ghalib, has endorsed comments calling African Americans "animal[s]," Jews "monkeys," and been accused of corruption and voter fraud. Yet the media insists on ignoring the Ghalib story. Why so? What does this augur for Hamtramck? Should Americans care?

On today's episode I'm sitting down with Ghalib Hassam. Ghalib approached me as he wished to talk about how the passing of his father made him realise a lot about male mental health and toxic masculinity.  Being from Pakistan, Ghalib argues that due to the culture there was not a lot of room for tears, expressing one's feelings, for sorrow and to deal properly with the passing of his father. I had to be "strong" and this pushed me away so much that I left the country for 4 years." Thus, he fled to Istanbul in the hope of finding happiness and a life where the ghosts from the past would not follow him."My mental health itself declined massively after his death since the only way to support my family was to be "strong" for them. Because that's what I was taught by my culture. " Ghalib was diagnosed with depression. Today, his idea about happiness is very different from what it used to be.  He is back in Pakistan, from where he is currently telling us his story. This episode is for you whom are passionate about breaking down taboos, especially in the area of males mental health and whom is in the need of a good advice when looking for happiness and contentment in your life. If you want to know more about Everyday People visit https://www.everydaypeoplepod.com/ We would be happy if you:→ Review us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2XytWmnKswJG43lYC70bSO→ Review us on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everyday-people/id1609956443 Social media:Instagram: @patriciaglindorfInstagram: @everydaypplwithpatriciaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bartholdy-glindorf-25538873/Support the show

Mirza Ghalib is one of the most celebrated poets in the Urdu literary canon. Yet, at the time, Ghalib was prolific in both Urdu and Persian. His output in Persian output dwarfs his Urdu writing (at least in its published form), and he often openly dismissed his Urdu works, once writing: Look into the Persian so that you may see paintings of myriad shades and hues; Pass by the collection in Urdu for it is nothing but drawings and sketches. Ghalib: A Wilderness at My Doorstep: A Critical Biography (Allen Lane, 2021) by Professor Mehr Afshan Farooqi explores the work of Mirza Ghalib to perhaps explain why the power made the switch from Urdu to Persian and back to Urdu. In this interview, I ask Mehr to introduce us to Ghalib and his work. We explore Ghalib as both a poet and a person, and why he made the switch from writing in Urdu to Persian and back again. Mehr Afshan Farooqi is currently an associate professor of Urdu and South Asian Literature at the University of Virginia. Her research publications address complex issues of Urdu literary culture particularly in the context of modernity.

More recently, she has published the acclaimed monograph The Postcolonial Mind: Urdu Culture, Islam and Modernity in Muhammad Hasan Askari.

May 1857. The Indian city of Shahjahanabad, today called Delhi, is tense. British officers are worried about rumors of insubordination and rebellion elsewhere in India, while the local residents both await and fear a coming storm of revolutionary fervor. Trying to make a living in this setting is Mirza Ghalib, one of India's most celebrated poets, well known for his works in Urdu and Persian. He is also the protagonist, at least in a fictionalised form, of Murder at the Mushaira (Aleph Book Company, 2021) by Raza Mir. The novel is a murder mystery: a particularly disliked poet is murdered at a poetry recital, forcing Ghalib ito play detective, balancing both haughty English officials and passionate Indian mutineers as he attempts to seek the truth. In this interview, Raza introduces both Ghalib and Shahjahanabad. We talk about the historical roots of his story, including where he diverges from historical accuracy. Finally, we discuss why literary figures like Ghalib are so popular as detectives. Raza Mir teaches management at William Paterson University in the USA. He has written a few academic books, and three books of translation and literary criticism about Urdu poetry and poets. Murder at the Mushaira is his first novel.

Guest Shakil Khan, Prominent Banker, writer, columnist and Voice Over artist. Sharing his views on Great Poet Mirza Ghalib. Hosted by Wasif Burney, Produced by Wow Be creatives For Wow Be Podcast. Mirza Ghalib was born in Kala Mahal, Agra into a family of Mughals who moved to Samarkand (in modern-day Uzbekistan) after the downfall of the Seljuk kings. His paternal grandfather, Mirza Qoqan Baig, was a Seljuq Turk who had immigrated to India from Samarkand during the reign of Ahmad Shah (1748–54).[6] He worked in Lahore, Delhi and Jaipur, was awarded the sub-district of Pahasu (Bulandshahr, UP) and finally settled in Agra, UP, India. He had four sons and three daughters. Mirza Abdullah Baig and Mirza Nasrullah Baig were two of his sons. Mirza Abdullah Baig (Ghalib's father) married Izzat-ut-Nisa Begum, an ethnic Kashmiri, and then lived at the house of his father-in-law. He was employed first by the Nawab of Lucknow and then the Nizam of Hyderabad, Deccan. He died in a battle in 1803 in Alwar and was buried at Rajgarh (Alwar, Rajasthan).[8] Back then, Ghalib was a little over 5 years of age. He was then raised by his Uncle Mirza Nasrullah Baig Khan, but in 1806, Nasrullah fell off an elephant and died from related injuries. At the age of thirteen, Ghalib married Umrao Begum, daughter of Nawab Ilahi Bakhsh (brother of the Nawab of Ferozepur Jhirka). He soon moved to Delhi, along with his younger brother, Mirza Yousuf, who had developed schizophrenia at a young age and later died in Delhi during the chaos of 1857. None of his seven children survived beyond infancy. After his marriage, he settled in Delhi. In one of his letters he describes his marriage as the second imprisonment after the initial confinement that was life itself. The idea that life is one continuous painful struggle which can end only when life itself ends, is a recurring theme in his poetry.
