Zameer Uddin Shah while delivering the inaugural address at the Symposium on "Shahryar"s life and work" organized by Sahitya Academy, Delhi at the Arts Faculty lounge today.
Gen. Shah said that Shahryar was an alumnus of this University and served as a teacher for more than two decades. He not only rose high to achieve distinction of being a Jnanpith and Sahitya Academy Award winner but also brought laurels by penning record breaking popular songs for Indian cinema. He acknowledged the fact that Shahryar dedicated all his life to promote Urdu language.
Gen. Shah said that his mother tongue is Urdu and he often writes his letters in this beautiful language although he could not give much time to refine his dialect due to his job compulsions.
