CTC kitna loge?

धन्यवाद !

Yes I do try to verify most of it but due to its very nature , old hindi literature is often more shrouded in mystery and we don't know who actually composed many of the stuff attested to a perticular author or poet!

आशा है।

He's considered important because he's the starting point of khadiboli hindi poetry , he created first hindi riddles , and a whole hindi dictionary . He has said all those vile stuff , no denying that , but he was indeed a talented poet, you can't deny that too!

@@Asamanya_ No doubt, he was a great poet, and I understand that you’re not defending him but just presenting the facts (though not all). I appreciate that. My point is that his darker side is no less important for everyone to know. Even in schools we aren't taught about it,. It is also disheartening to see someone like him being worshipped in India, especially when he(being a sufi saint) glorified Khilji, who was responsible for the killings of so many innocent Hindus.

2 points 1) Khusrow had been dead for 300 years when Aurangzeb was born 2) Khusrow was a court poet of Khilji. It would make sense that he would exaggerate and glorify Khilji's conquest and actions, no matter how vile they are, it would get him patronage. The point is that we don't know what Khusrow's personal feelings on any of these incidents were because he was not writing for himself, he was writing to glorify Khilji. He even calls the Lodis, another Muslim Empire that was at war with Khilji at the time, infidels. Because his goal was to depict Khilji as the most legitimate ruler. The Khaziainul Futuh was a relatively short work composed at the tail-end of his life, compared to the hundreds of Sufi poems and riddles he wrote in both Persian and Hindavi. Does that make any of what he wrote okay? No. It might be reflective of his actual feelings. But it is a small part of his legacy and was done under patronage from Khilji. He was a Muslim Turk who dedicated his life to writing in and studying the languages of India and created foundational pieces of literature in them. Your first comment asked why he is important, because of his contributions to Indian Music and literature, because he is essentially the father of Modern Hindi and Urdu poetry and of HIndustani classical music. He was the starting of cultural syncretism and the "Indianization" of the foreign Empires that were entering India through the Hindu-Kush.

​@@aravdogra4192 Sorry, I mistyped Aurangzeb for Khilji in my previous comment . Yes, I completely understand the significance of Khusrau’s contributions to Hindi, Urdu, and Hindustani music. As someone from Chittorgarh, my issue is not with his talent, but with the selective admiration he receives without addressing his problematic glorifications. 1. While Khusrau may have written under patronage, as a poet and historian of that time, his words still hold weight. Glorifying Khilji and the destruction of places like Somnath or even making derogatory remarks about Jauhar cannot just be dismissed as "court duty." 2. Yes, he played a key role in shaping the so called "cultural syncretism", but at what cost? Isn't it important to recognize the violence that often accompanied this "Indianization."? You mention Khusrau’s work as a small part of his legacy, but for those of us connected to the stories of Khilji’s brutal campaigns, that part of his legacy is significant.

@@Ishan9920 history shapes the future action. Yes if it is biased, it can do a lot of damage. If Khusro wrote it being biased or the people who are writing about khusro making these mistakes they are doing damage to the overall society in some sense.

Hindi mein Farsi Arabi shabd milaao use Urdu bol dete hain. Yadi English words milaao toh use Hinglish. 😂 Ab kya karein kya jab jab videshi shabd aaye Hindi mein toh ek nayee bhasha bana lein?

महोदय मैने इसी चेनल पर पहले कालिदास की बात की है , उनकी कविताओं का संस्कृत से हिंदी में अनुवाद भी किया है , मैने असम के अहोम राजाओं की भी बात की है और ठेठ हिंदी के हरिऔध की भी । किंतु जब बात "खड़ीबोली" हिंदी के प्रथम कवि की आती है तो ख़ुसरो का ही नाम आता है , महोदय यदि आपको खड़ी बोली के किसी पूर्व काव्य रचयिता के विषय में ज्ञात है तो मुझे अवश्य ज्ञात कराएं । जहां तक बात उनके वंश की है तो वो तुर्क थे और उनके पिता उज़्बेकिस्तान के निवासी थे जो बाद में भारत आ बसे इसलिए ख़ुसरो की कर्म भूमि भारत ही है , और उन्होने तुर्क होने के बावजूद भारत की भाषाओं को भी अपनाया , संस्कृत पढ़ी , हिंदवी में रचनाएं की ( हालांकि उनकी मूल काव्यभाषा फारसी थी ) । इसलिए खड़ी बोली के काव्य की चर्चा ख़ुसरो के बग़ैर नहीं की जा सकती , ख़ैर मुझे जो कहना था वो मैने कह दिया यदि अब भी आप मेरे मत से सहमत नहीं हैं तो महोदय आपको विडियो देखने पर कोई विवश नहीं कर रहा । धन्यवाद
