The Office of Interdisciplinary Studies (IDEAS) in collaboration with Jindal School of Language and Literature and and Centre for Translation, Print, and Publishing Studies (CTPPS) at O.P. Jindal Global University invites you to an engaging workshop on: “Hindustani in the Mughal Era”. This session will trace the evolution of Hindustani as a lingua franca within the linguistic landscape of the Mughal Empire. The discussion will explore its social locations, its literary use as Rekhta and mixed-language poetry, and the emergence of its prose traditions in the 18th century. The talk will also reflect on why the idea of Hindustani was gradually neglected in later centuries.

Date & Time: 19 March 2026; 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM IST
Venue: Imaginarium, Ground Floor; Savitri Jindal Faculty Office Block
