Legendary singer Asha Bhosle lent her voice to many melodious ghazals. During her trip to Jaipur two years back, she spoke on how ghazals era is becoming a thing of past.
However, she also gave a solution to it and said ghazal can be revived if written in simple Hindi. The younger generation finds Urdu a bit complicated.
“The young boys and girls can relate to deep emotions and feelings, reflected through ghazals, if written in simple Hindi,” she said.
The era of Urdu seems to be phasing out as the young generation doesn’t understand and could not relate to its deep and meaningful words. Making the language simple and to retain the contemporariness is what’s required today to bring back the lost legacy of ghazals
