Tamaasha’s most popular programme Urdu readings is now on Insider in its digital avatar !
We begin the online series with -
MANTO AND HIS "SCANDALOUS" WOMEN (Part II)
"Aurat par likhne ke liye khud aurat banana padhta hai." - Manto
Sugandhi, Sharda, Sultana, Mozil, Sakina ... Manto has created some of the most fascinating women in Urdu literature. Manto’s gaze is non-judgemental and his women characters resist categorisation into specific types. They question existing gender norms, and embody a fierce passion for life and love. They surprise and inspire us as we take a journey into Manto’s unique writing.
The readings will be interspersed with relevant excerpts from articles, poems and discussions that help further our understanding of the theme.

About 'Urdu Hai Jiska Naam'
----------------
Urdu is perceived as a language of culture, of sophistication, philosophy, romance, and poetry ! 'Urdu Hai Jiska Naam' is an attempt to enter the rich world of Urdu literature.
Our readings are carefully curated, so that every piece of writing is placed in a social and cultural context which enhances its accessibility and illuminates its larger meaning. Listeners get to know the writer’s personality and idiosyncrasies, they get to know the times in which the piece was written, they get a sense of “being there”.
And all this rendered by a pool of highly skilled theatre actors. It’s quite remarkable how listeners, young and old, build a special relationship with Urdu.
