Conceptualized by "Oxford Bookstore Hindi Sahitya Utsav" a day-long festival of Hindi writing, Hindi Verse will be composed at Oxford Bookstore collaboratively with Rajkamal Prakashan samuh and upheld by Vani Prakashan, Hindi Yugum Prakashan, Westland Books, Rajpal & sons, Virtuous publications , Kunwar Viyogi Remembrance trust and Oxford Bookstore. 

The thought behind this activity is to give youthful groups of onlookers an essence of the many pleasures contained inside the artistic culture of Hindi. Hindi started to emerge as Apabhramsha (non-Sanskrit linguistic forms in Indic speech prior to approximately the 3rd century) in the 7th century and by the 10 century became stable. Several dialects of Hindi have been used in literature. Braj was the popular literary dialect until it was replaced by khari boli in the 19th century. Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit through Prakrit and Apabhramsha. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian, Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portugese and English. It is a very expressive language. In poetry and songs, it can convey emotions using simple and gentle words. It can also be used for exact and rational reasoning.

The occasion has been conceptualized as a tester's menu, a sampler, a buffet of the many flavors contained in hindi language & writings, voices, subjects, tones and themes in Hindi. This event will serve as a platform for the people who are looking forward to explore this language through various discussions and intellectual sessions with the experts of hindi language. 

The event will be starting with an introductory note by Mrinaal Pandey on the topic "Bhasha aur samaj", which was later on followed by the interactive sessions of Manisha pandey, Piyush Mishra, Divya Prakash Dubey, Urvashi Butalia many more literary personalities associated with Hindi literature. The event was divided into sessions comprising readings and recitations & on themes as diverse as wit, humor and satire, dissent, modernism, etc.


Oxford Bookstore is not only about books of various genres, but recently it has also emerged as a hub of many cultural events, in-depth discussions & interactive interesting talk sessions which are held with famous personalities of the society.
