About this Event

In the bilingual talk, Dr. Abdul Bhat will discuss how Allama Iqbal connected his own poetry to prominent poets of the past from Urdu and Persian, especially Rumi, Ghalib, Bedil, and Hafez. Allama Iqbal's urge to connect with his predecessors was particularly urgent during this time, and it continues to be so today. There will be plenty of poetry recitation.
