Organisers Afzal Khan, Md Ghouse and MA Majid emphasised the significance of such cultural initiatives.
Papa Khan, another organiser, said: “After Hyderabad, Nizamabad has the largest Urdu-speaking population and is committed to preserving its literary heritage.”
Advisor to chief minister MD Shabbir Ali graced the event as chief guest. Drawing parallels between Mushaira and Kavi Sammelan (poets meet), he highlighted how poets, regardless of language, use a blend of simplicity and complexity to portray society’s struggles.
Shabbir Ali also praised the role of poets in promoting education, noting how government initiatives such as 4% reservation have helped many youth from minority communities complete their professional courses.
