Sher or Shayari has a very rich cultural history in India. It is one of the important and famous ways to express emotion in Urdu and Hindi literature. Where your emotions get expressed in versatile words or Urdu language that gives the essence to your emotion. Thus in Urdu and Hindi literature sher-o-Shayari has a very significant role to play.  

Ranging from Shayar  Mirza Ghalib to Iqbal, we can witness the grandeur of Sher in India. There are many, who have made their careers through sher-o-shayri in entertainment and educational industry. Thus the significance of this talent has a vital role to play in today’s Indian social context 

Sher o Shayari is a concept that is unique to India. Although it is apparent in many other South Asian countries, the grandeur of its development in India has its own story. 

Delhi University is one of the reputed universities in this country. So why keep our students apart from such a talent which is getting diminished day by day? 

Why sharyi is a talent? 

Everyone has human emotions but not everyone can express them. It is the method of expression that any person connected with literature in any way gains fame in this industry. Shary incorporates choosing the appropriate words in a rhythm and tuning that provides the essence of the feeling that one wants. Thus if a person is a good shyer then a person is a good persuader as it involves the linguistic skills required.  

The fact that persons who have an upper edge in language always have an extra advantage in the field in which they are working. Along with what we want to say, the way we say it affects a lot. Proposals through Shayri, shayri involves feelings of respect, love, hate, etc. are not very novel concepts. Thus the domain that Sharyi is holding has its significance. 

Thus a person who has very good linguistic skills in the field of Shayri is unique from person to person. Uniqueness is the thing that provides this skill fame of talent 

For instance  

In English we say “ Out of all people, you misunderstood me” but in sharing, you will refer to it in a way, “ Use meri beat ab samjh me nahi aati, jo meri khamoshiyon ki tafseer likha karta tha” 

Also in English, we say, “It’s overthinking” but in Shayri, you will say, “Wo bate kha gayi mujhko jinko pee gaya tha me” 

Why not have sher-o-shayari societies in DU? 

College societies play a very vital role in the holistic development of students. Thus to have a good linguistic development, to have cultural pride, and to enjoy memories, why can’t we start societies is Delhi University that will solely deal with sher—o – shayri? How is the idea to hold inter-college competitions to organize Sher-o-Shayari at Delhi University that will help all literature enthusiasts to participate in such competitions? 

Unfortunately, this culture is missing in campuses which led to a waste of linguistic talent from campuses. Thus there is a need that we must move forward to establish such a society in nearly every college at Delhi University that will help to holistic development of students. We must not forget the fact that our ex-prime minister dr. Manmohan Singh was also a good fan of Shayri and his answers in the form of Shayari in parliament are still trending on Instagram. 

How will it add value to students? 

1. It will help students to appreciate their culture through this. It will help in the development of national pride. 
2. This will upskill the linguistic ability of students to put their emotions in an interesting way 
3. It tends to  foster creativity among students to innovate new ideas and learn new words to put things forward 
4. It will help studnets to learn teamwork and community building. It will help students to apply this knowledge in their practical life 
5. It tends to help students learn emotional intelligence and remove the fear of public speaking from their hearts through the culture of appreciation in sher –o-shayri( irshad) 

Thus in a nutshell, we must say that this culture of sher- o-shayri must be developed at Delhi University. This will provide a good stress relief time for students from their hectic schedule of the whole day. This can only be possible through cumulative action of all of us. The essence of sharyri is well known among the civilized community of writers. For instance, one Shayr expresses the need for affiliation in his words, “ Koi puch le humse ki kis baat ka gam hai toh kis baat ka gam hai ki wo puch le humse” Thus gys its time for new initiative. Please ask your teachers and authorities to initiate this idea. I assure you that it will be a really good experience. 

The post Sher-o-Shayari in DU: How is the idea? appeared first on DU Times.

A word is having two different parts. The first one which is sabda It has wider aspect when it gains the potency which becomes pada. And the second part of this manifestation, which is pada: It is having a central order a value and a force and has more important Association and assimilation to the denotation functions. It is much like the word and the meaning, the meaning and the object or let us say, “pada + artha = padhartha”.

MAIN ASPECT:
There are four categories of denoted functions, and as per those the primary category is that of: Yaugika– Which is the denotation category where in the meaning is grasped on part of the word. It has a functional aspect associated with it. For example, in the case of The word Pācaka (to cook). Then we are having the second category, which is the Rūdha: That is the conventional meaning where the word is driving, its significance from the rude etymological meaning of the particular given word. Here the meaning is grasped as per the denotation function of the whole word, and not on the basis of the denoted function of the parts of the word. The meaning is having a wider respect associated with it, which has to be selected as per the usage of the term or the word. For example, in the case of the term gomanḍālam Which means the globe.

Then we are having the third category of the denotation word, which is, Denotatively conventional: the Yogruḍha: Here the meaning is grasped as per the denotation function of the part of the word, which is including incorporating significantly, the denotation function of the word as a whole. In this particular category of denotation, We are having meanings which the word is already having, but we need to select as per the context. For example, in the case of the word Paṇkajā Which means something that has its origination from the mud, but is called as the lotus Flower.

Then we have the manifestation of this denotation, which is called the Yaugika Rūdha: Denotation and convention. In this, the word is having a particular function and is also indicating the conventional aspect. It has its focus on the direction or the beginning and has a focal aspect. The conventional meaning, and the denotative meaning Are obtained independently of each other. As in the case of the word, which is: Uḍbḥīda, This word is indicating that it could be something that is upwards as in the case of tree, herb or shrubs But it also has a traditional understanding of being viewed as a religious sacrifice.

CONCLUSION:

It has been argued on critical terms by RamRudra that the word “Pācaka” cannot be under the category of Yaugika. But it could argued against this objection that, The suffix “aka” which is coming after root word “pac” is having “denotative function” in the agent, I.e., Pachaka iti pācaka, therefore, pācaka is rightfully in the yaugika category.

As per Dr. Dibyendu Bhattacharya: “Nyaya Philosophy objects are nine – (1) Prthibi (earth), (2) Ap (water), (3) Tejas (fire), (4) Vayu (air), (k5) Akasa, (6) Kala (Time), (7) Dik (Space), (8) Ataman (Self), (9) Manas (Mind).”

Then comes another criticism, that is again highlighted by Ramrudra, that Gaomandalam is not rightfully one word, and Dinakara further expands this by asserting that if you take Gaumanḍālam in the compound form, it is Gaomandaladi which is divided into, Go meaning cow and mandala meaning the globe, two words, hence not correct to place it in Rūdha category. Ramarūdra takes Mandala interpretation of the Muktavalikara text of Nyāy darśan. Simply because if we will take “Mandapa ” here it could mean a wide array of multitudes of meanings if used with Mandam pibāti which could be understood as: The man who is drinking the scum of boiled rice. And then there is another interpretation, which comes from the Sentence, Mandanam Rakṣhati which means, The man is protecting the scum of the boiled rice. Here, the word mandapa Could be understood, By plethora of meanings Such as a Marriage pavilion, etc.
