Special Edition of Children’s Urdu Publication Launched

Karachi, August 16, 2022 (PPI-OT): The special edition of Pakistan’s premier children’s Urdu monthly ‘Mahnama Sathee’ has recently been launched. Titled ‘Talash Number’, the publication of the children’s magazine special edition for the year 2022 is a milestone in the history of Urdu literature produced for schoolchildren and young adults, particularly in the Sub-continent.

When it comes to children’s literature, Urdu is well ahead of the rest of the world’s languages being spoken and written today. This was said by Aqib Javed, Editor-in-chief of Mahnama Sathee at the launch of its special edition of the year 2022. He said the government in any part of the world has never been that supportive of literary pursuits, as this is the very struggle of writers and poets who keep the flag flying high as far as the creation and promotion of literature is concerned.

“A young lot of short-story writers and poets are capable enough to carry on the legacy left by such classical literary figures as Sufi Ghulam Mustafa Tabassum, Pirzada Ashiq Keranvi, Ismail Mirthim Mirza Adeeb, Shanul Haq Haqqee, etc.,” said Aqib Javed, Editor-in-chief of Mahnama Sathee.

Starting its journey in 1977, Mahnama Sathee is one of the leading literary initiatives taken in the Sub-continent for the promotion of children’s literature and family reading and to accelerate the overall literacy drive and education. The 2022 Special Edition of Mahnama Sathee contains a literary treasure created by leading writers and poets of the country.
