DID YOU KNOW ?
The Urdu language is spoken by 104 million people throughout the world. Most of these Urdu speakers are either from India or Pakistan, but a considerable number, who have migrated from the Indian subcontinent, are found in Europe and America, too, where Urdu newspapers, books, and magazines are published, Mushairas are organized, and literary gatherings are held. These places are now being dubbed as Urdu’s new abodes.
