I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at JAMMU: The two-day International Seminar organized by the Department of Urdu, University of Jammu, in collaboration with Himalayan Education Mission Rajouri, concluded with a valedictory function that highlighted the seminar’s success. Speakers commended the event for its high-quality research presentations on the theme “Jagan Nath Azad ke Iqbal Shanasi.”
The seminar presented thought-provoking papers that explored new dimensions of Jagan Nath Azad’s poetry and his work on Allama Iqbal, the celebrated poet, thinker, and philosopher. The discussions emphasized Azad’s significant contributions to Iqbal studies, particularly through his acclaimed works such as “Iqbal-o-Kashmir” and “Iqbal aur Magrabi Mufkarieen.” Scholars described Azad as not only a poet of exceptional caliber but also a symbol of composite culture, hailing from Mianwali, a district in undivided India.
During the seminar, around 10 research papers were presented, followed by detailed deliberations by participants. These discussions enriched the understanding of Jagan Nath Azad’s literary legacy and his profound insights into Allama Iqbal’s life and philosophy.
