💨 Abstract

In Delhi's Neb Sarai, Urdu poetry lovers gathered for a workshop led by oral historian and heritage conservationist Sohail Hashmi. Instead of traditional love poetry, Hashmi chose contemporary political poems that critique dominant narratives about minority communities in modern Urdu poetry. These poems, also known as "poetry of thought," tackle serious issues and question mainstream norms.
