The Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari released a book entitled “Ghalib & His Times” brought out by Ghalib Institute at a function here today. Addressing on the occasion, he said that this book portrays history through photographs and is a very valuable book for all to know the contemporary history. He expressed his concern that number of Urdu knowing people is getting reduced. He applauded the Ghalib Institute for bringing out such a useful and informative book.

Ghalib Institute, New Delhi since its establishment in 1969, has endeavored to acquire and preserve illustrations about Ghalib’s life and times and his eminent contemporaries. The book has tried to revive through illustration that was lost. India and Delhi of Ghalib’s times is immensely important from historical angle. (PIB)
