Hidden in the Lute: An Anthology of Two Centuries of Urdu Literature

By Ralph Russell

Urdu is one of the major languages of the South Asian subcontinent. According to the author, it developed from tenth-century Muslim invaders of India who needed to communicate with their Indian subjects. Its basic structures, and much of its everyday vocabulary, are almost identical to those of Hindi.
