Ood-e-Hindi
This book Ood-e-Hindi is a collection of letters written by Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib and is compiled by Kaiseri Daas Seth. This book contains Mirza ghalib's letters which are written to different persons by Ghalib. Ghalib is not only known for his poetry but also known for his letters in Urdu which he started writing in 1849 or perhaps a little earlier. There are four different collections, and scholars keep discovering new ones so their number is steadily increasing. Letter writing in Urdu before Ghalib was modelled on Persian. Ghalib discarded the artificial rhetoric of feudal politeness, aiming at the joy of communication, wrote in startingly simple, intimate and informal style. No man ever wrote more graceful and lucid Urdu. The witty turn of Ghalib’s genius gave every page of his letters an irresistible charm and abiding interest.
