urdu was language of revolutionaries...
"Maulvi Mohammad Baaqar, editor, Dehli Urdu Akhbar, who was shot dead on September 16, 1857. So, Baaqar was the first Indian journalist to sacrifice his life for the nation.."
i dint know till recently...our history books in school doesnt tell this..
i only know Gandhiji, Bhagat Singh ,Tilak, Nehru..Also if it says about 1857 ..
we know Tatya Tope, laxmibai.
The British government was af raid of the rebellions Urdu newspapers had the potential to produce. And so the barbarism continued, claiming Maulvi Mohammad Baaqar, editor, Dehli Urdu Akhbar, who was shot dead on September 16, 1857. So, Baaqar was the first Indian journalist to sacrifice his life for the nation.
Mr Masoom Moradabadi editor of JADID KHABAR and KABHARDAR laments that we dont even acknowledge such freedom fighters and role of urdu in freedom struggle.
he has written a book Urdu Sahafat aur Jang-e-Azaadi 1857. it took year to him to write this.
it was released by Vice President Mr Hamid Ansari recently at his residence.
The author pointed out, “One interesting thing I found during my research and have included in the book, is the fatwa signed by 35 ulemas of the time which encouraged people to fight against the system saying ‘jihad (struggle) against the British empire is a part of our imaan (faith)’. There were so many who sacrificed their lives and many who risked their life and property by starting newspapers and other anti-government publications, numbering more than 35, (prominent names listed include Dehli Urdu Akhbar, Sadiqul Akhbar, Payaame Azadi, Tilism, Risala Bhaghawate Hind, Sehar Samri ) that were oppressed under the Gagging Act and left to only 12 by the end of the year 1857.”
i think our history books should also focus on this part, as mulsims, urdu language is seen by people in other perspctive..
