Vikas Divyakirti Live at Jashn-e-Rekhta #drishtiias
Vikas Divyakirti shares how Urdu entered his life through family, stage culture, and college traditions like bait baazi. He says English is needed in a global world, but your mother tongue is the language of the heart. He also gives a clear warning. Languages can die if we stop using them with attention and pride.
He explains why Urdu feels powerful. It can say big things in simple words, with depth that stays with you. He urges Urdu to move beyond poetry and into science, business, and everyday life, so it becomes a living language for the next generation. He closes with couplets that remind us that poetry must also speak for common people and real social realities.
