Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) hosted a 2 day international Urdu seminar recently. The first day of the seminar titled, “Ghalib and Faiz Two Times One Language” was organized in collaboration with Higher Education comission. Eminent researchers presented their research articles in the seminar which was followed by an ”Aalmi Mushaira” (poetry reading). Known national poets presented their works in the mushaira attended by respectable educators and country’s literati. The renowned Urdu poet, Amjad Islam Amjad, presided over the Aalmi Mushaira.
Speaking at the event Vice Chancellor LCWU Prof. Dr Bushra Mirza said: “literary activities should be arranged on a regular basis, and Aalmi Mushaira was one way of going about it.
