Hammad H Rind حماد حسن رند

Thrilled to share that I'll be starting a PhD in Welsh this year, exploring the elegiac traditions in Welsh (marwnad), Persian & Urdu (مرثیہ / marsiya), with a focus on historic tragedies such as the battles of Karbala & Cilmeri at Bangor University. Grateful to have full funding

@Dr_Barzouya سپاس فراوان، دکتر صاحب! حتماً! امید دارم به‌زودی روزی را ببینم که رمانم به زبان محبوب من نیز ترجمه شود.

@HammadHRind بیش باد رند صاحاب، نیاز عاجل به پارسی‌ شدنش وجود داره ☺️

From an interview on language learning I gave on Prynhawn da last week

هر چه هم حاشا كند با ديگرانش ديده ام / شانه اي بيگانه را آرام جانش ديده ام ...به سفارش دوستي كه شاهد خيانت يار خود بود سروده شد #غزل بر وزن فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلن ( بحر رمل مثمن محذوف)

@zaidanidrees Thank you for reading

"Almahdi's poems delve into themes that resonate with millions yet have often been overlooked in English-language publications..." -@HammadHRind, author of Four Dervishes amzn.to/4qoig6L #lovethybooks #crescentbooks #waelalmahdi #poems #bookrecommendations #MasHriQi

From Mirza Nazeer Baig's 'Ishq-e Firoz Laqa o Gulnar', which was an Urdu adaptation of Romeo and Juliet written by 'Janab Mister Shakespeare Sahab Marhoom'. Published in Agra in 1905.

We’ll be starting our reading circle this coming Tuesday with Virginia Woolf’s Orlando and a hikayat from Sa’adi's Gulistan. I still have a couple of spots available, which I’m happy to offer to readers outside Balochistan on a first-come, first-served basis.

Does anyone know the history and social culture of ethnic Kashmiris (Koshur) of Peshawar. My limited knowledge; 1. History: They migrated in mass during Sikh and Dogra (1819-1947) rules in Kashmir Valley. Major events/waves were 1833 famine, 1878 famine, and 1947 partition. Some of them migrated to Punjab before settling in Peshawar. Many Kashmiris are found in Asia Gate and Ghanta Ghar neighborhoods. 2. Socio-linguistic Culture: A good percentage of migrants adopted 'Peshawiri/Peshori' culture. Most of them speak Peshori Hindko these days as lingua franca. Some speak Persian and Punjabi (with some using borrowed vocabulary from Kashmiri). A minor population may speak Pushto as first language?? 3. Cuisine: Harissa (meat porridge), Wazwan (multi-course feast feat. Roghan Josh), Noon Chai (pink salted tea), Kashmiri Roghni, and Kashmiri-styled Qahwa (saffron infused, different from the Peshori variant). Bukhara Haleem?? 4. Common Castes/Surnames: Khwaja, Sufi, Syed, Bukhari. Mir?? Mian?? Butt?? 5. Notable People: Haji Ghulam Samdani's family of Barmula (includ. Yahya Jan, Abdur Rahman Peshawari), Patras Bukhari, Prithviraj Kapoor (father of Raj Kapoor), A. K. Hangal, D. N. Chopra (father of Vidhu Vinod Chopra) and Syed Muhammad Ameer Shah Gillani alias Moulvi Jee. Please name more. In my opinion, Peshawar became an epicenter for the immaculate blending of Kashmiriyat and the local cultural code of Peshoritop (and Pashtunwali). @mazdaki, @govtofkhawar, @HammadHRind @zainengineer, @iopyne, @syeda1111111, @brerkhargosh , @AkhundzadaArif, @alijan98 your insights (and analysis) on this subject would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

@HasanMS_10016 @avzaagzonunaada Yes, also more common further south in Saraiki and Sindhi (though not sure about Piedmontese). Again, constructions with two clitics sound unfamiliar or archaic to ne (and esp. involving the 1st person singular)

@HammadHRind @avzaagzonunaada my dad tells me its more prevalent in the Thal desert part or rural salt range Piedmont. Also, are you familiar with constructions where two clitics are used? rupai dit-m-us and dit-m-is "money give=1st-3rd."

@HasanMS_10016 @avzaagzonunaada Sounds right to me, though I must say, despite its being my "home variety", I've never encountered 1 person sing pronom suffixes in Shahpuri. For ex, Kufri ghar-es/ghar-ai/ghar-esse/ghar-ne ("his/her/your/our/their/your house is in Kufri") all sound familiar but not Kufri ghar-em

@avzaagzonunaada I am not sure tbh. I have to confirm for the second one. @HammadHRind what would be the difference?
