Urdu poetry is an essential part of the culture of South Asia. According to Naseer Turabi, there are five significant poets of the Urdu language: Mir Taqi Mir (d.1810), Mirza Ghalib, Mir Anees, Allama Iqbal, and Josh Malihabadi. The language of Urdu reached its pinnacle under British Raj status, and it received official status. All famous writers of Urdu literature, including Ghalib and Iqbal, were given British scholarships. Following the Partition of India in 1947, significant poets and scholars were divided along nationalistic lines. However, Urdu poetry is cherished in both regions. Muslim and Hindus from across the border continue their tradition.”
