Urdu language has faced great challenges since its evolution. Especially, in the Subcontinent for many political gains people have suppressed its progress. Even for now Indian Government has failed assuring perfect implementation of Urdu as Official language in different parts of India.
In the history different measure were taken to fight against the Urdu aggression. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan played a key role for projecting the beauty and strength of the language with his extensive Urdu literary creations.
After his death Progressive Writers Movement was another strong effort from Urdu Creative Fraternities. This movement produced finest work of poetry, Journalism and Drama. This Movement further became inspiration for coming writers and poets.
Later in 1960 another movement started with the name of modernist Urdu Movement, famous key players of this movement were Shamsus Rehman Farooqi, Zafer Iqbal, Nasir Kazmi, Bashir Baber and Shaharyar. This movement paid more emphasis on Symbolic and indirect expressions. Further, movement was successful in presenting the classical culture of the Indian society.
Today Urdu is facing different kinds of challenges. We are failing to influence people for adding value to Urdu literature. Every year we come across limited Urdu publications which is a concerning issue. Cultural shift has made us reluctant to read and follow our creative fraternities.
It is our responsibility that we should make our generations aware of beauty and versatility of language with every day reading of marvelous Urdu literature.
