Whose Urdu Is It, Anyway? is a powerful anthology of sixteen short stories by non-Muslim Urdu writers, challenging the narrow perception of Urdu as solely the language of Indian Muslims. Spanning regions from Upper India to the Deccan plateau, Malwa, Bhopal, and Hyderabad, this collection reclaims Urdu as a shared cultural heritage that transcends religion and geography. Featuring works by literary giants like Krishan Chandar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Gulzar, and others, the book showcases the depth, diversity, and universality of Urdu storytelling. Through poignant narratives and rich prose, it places Urdu where it truly belongs?in the heart of Hindustan?and reminds readers that language, like art, belongs to all who embrace it.
