Mushaira- A Key Component of Literary Festival Stresses Sandeep Marwah

Noida – Sandeep Marwah, the Chancellor of AAFT University and President of the 9th Global Literary Festival Noida, highlighted the significant role of Mushaira, a poetic symposium, as an integral part of literary festivals. He emphasized the deep-rooted cultural importance of Mushaira, underscoring its prevalence in North India and its establishment during the Mughal era in the 17th century.

A Mushaira is an event where poets congregate to showcase their poetic creations. It is deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric of North India, particularly in the domain of Urdu poetry. During the 9th Global Literary Festival Noida, organized at Marwah Studios, Sandeep Marwah advocated for the initiation of the Mushaira program on the second day of the festival.

The event witnessed the active participation of literary enthusiasts and was enhanced by the News Bulletin of day two, thoughtfully prepared by the students of AAFT School of Journalism and Mass Communication, garnering appreciation from a vast audience.

A notable highlight of the festival was the release of the book titled “Dynamics of Growth” by Dinesh Kaliya. The session also featured engaging presentations of Ghazal and Shayari by accomplished poets such as Admiral Khurram Shahzad Noor, Sharaf Nanparvi, Shishir Somvanshi, Javed Mushiri, Shahid Anwar, and Dr. Mridula Tandon.

To honor the speakers and participants, mementoes of the 9th Global Literary Festival were presented. Sushil Bharti, Festival Director, extended his gratitude and proposed a heartfelt vote of thanks to conclude the event.

The embrace of Mushaira at the 9th Global Literary Festival Noida further enriches the festival’s literary tapestry, bringing together the creative brilliance of poets and fostering a deeper appreciation for the art of poetry.
