Abstract
This articles introduces us to an important book written by an
orientalist ,Carla Petiavich.The book discusses the famous theory of two
schools of thought in classical urdu poetry i.e.,Delhvi and Lakhnvi.Carla
Patiavich is of the opinion that this division is baseless and gave rise to
ignorance about positive triats of Lakhnavi poets.Lakhnavi poets are not
inferior to Delhvi poets while we comparison their topics or style.Critics are
cause of this baseless division .In openion of Carla Patiavich all poets
belonging to wether Lakhnavi or Delhvi school of thought should be called
only classical poets.
The authour of this artical contradics with Carla Petiavich"s point of
view and arguments that division of poets on reigonal basis isn't something
new.In world literature there are several such examples.Moreover number
of couplets having Lakhnavi or Delhvi traits of poetry justify this division
among prominent poets of both schools of poetry.
Anyway Carla Patiavich's book intoduces english readers to an
important discusion about classical urdu poetry.Its need of time that more
critics should discuss it in english language and should present a balanced
and justified point of view in this concern.
