A Critical Review of “Urdu ki Samaji Lughat (Malookiyat, Istamar aur Sanfi Imtiyaz ke Tanazur Mein)” by Tariq Hashmi

Abstract

Tariq Hashmi is a distinguished researcher, critic, and linguist in Urdu language and literature. He has rendered remarkable services in the fields of Urdu lexicography, linguistics, and the comparative study of social sciences. He is counted among those scholars who presented Urdu not merely as a literary and artistic language, but as a social and cultural phenomenon. His work “Urdu ki Samaji Lughat” (The Social Lexicon of Urdu) holds special significance, as it seeks to examine the lexical and linguistic aspects of the language within a social. Tariq Hashmi’s research and critical style is refined, clear, and argumentative. He not only traces the evolutionary stages of the language, but also demonstrates how it reflects social attitudes, class distinctions, and cultural tendencies. His writings possess both scholarly depth and literary charm, which make his ideas accessible even to reader. His contribution to Urdu lexicography represents a new trend, for he did not view words merely at the level of meaning but also highlighted the social and cultural background hidden behind them. In this way, his personality serves as a bridge between Urdu linguistics and the social sciences.
