Sanjiv Saraf received the award for promotion of Urdu language by Delhi Urdu Academy just after 3 months of launch of the website Rekhta.org
Inaugurating the function, Kapil Sibal, minister of communication, Government of India, called this initiative as a mirror of the trans-cultural unity of our country. “It can only happen in India that a non-Urdu speaking person takes up such a big burden of promoting the language on his shoulders,” he said. He applauded Saraf and his team for the initiative and said that “the language will always remember this contribution from him.”
Ghalib, Iqbal, Mir and others would be jubilant up there and surfing the net, maybe!
