An Anthology of Urdu Literature

By Ralph Russell

Urdu, a major language of the South Asian subcontinent, was born, Ralph Russell says, 'out of the need of Muslim invaders of India from the tenth century onwards to create a literature in which they could communicate with their Indian subjects.' This anthology was originally entitles Hidden in the Lute (1995) and is published here in paperback for the first time.
