Literature of uttar pradesh
Uttar Pradesh has had a long history of language and literature. The sheer variety and richness of the astonishing contribution of literary figures from Uttar Pradesh dates back to the ancient days. It was the setting of Hinduism’s twin Sanskrit epics, Ramayana and the Mahabharata
This is the land of Kabir, Tulsidas, Surdas and Keshavdas. There were other luminaries who were fabled for their rich endeavours—scholars such asAshwaghosh, Banbhatta, Mayur, Diwakar, Vakpati, Bhavbhuti,Rajshekhar, Laxmidhar, Sri Harsh and Krishna Misra, who were prominent at the courts of the kings of the time. Major centres of literature have been Varanasi (Banaras or Kashi of old times), Braj region, Awadh,Bundelkhand and in later years, it was Allahabad.
A prominent hub of the ancient world for the gathering of luminaries from the fields of education and religious thought, Varanasi has always, in successive centuries, drawn thinkers to participate in debates on a range of subjects and promote philosophical dialectics. Its propensity for such rich learning has placed it in high regard in the ancient texts of the Hindu epics in Sanskrit (which were written in the state) and the Puranas (some of which were also written in the region), along with many venerable texts ofHindu and Buddhist literature.
Hindi, Urdu, Sanskrit, Hindustani, Braj Bhasha, English, Awadhi, Bagheli,Bhojpuri, Bundeli and Kannauji… Uttar Pradesh is rich in linguistic traditions. Nagri Pracharni Sabha and the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan have played vital role in encouraging literary traditions.
