Womens Day 2025 – Learn from poetry and poets on Women’s Day, how is it ‘being a woman on stage’? – Womens on Stage Literature World Hindi Urdu Poetess Lata Haya Sharma Malik Sujata Babusha Kohali Aisha Ayub Anupam Singh Ntc

“The woman is a criminal even if you protect themselves,
The woman is still a criminal even if you lose themselves. “

Urdu shayra Neelma Naheed Durrani, through these misers, narrates the status of women in the society. This happened in the society, but in the present time, what are the situation in the world of women on the forums? To what extent does women have to struggle on Mushayars, poet conferences and such literary forums? On all these aspects, some poet and poets shared their experiences on the occasion of Women’s Day.

‘Husn, zulf and face praise…’

Shayra and poetry Lata Haya, in conversation with Aajtak.in, says, “It is a matter of fakhra for us to participate in literary activities as a woman, but I have realized that people have a mentality about women, what will be the poet/shayara, these people must have brought it to someone. Poets and poet consider themselves very super. They feel that what we do is Poetry, ”

Lata Haya shares herself’s experience, saying, “Most of the poets and poets have a mentality that if they call the woman on stage, they will call her beauty, zulf and face praising the face. When I stepped into the literary world and my first introduction was given in this way, I revolted there and I said A’tiraj and said that I should not be called in this way because history is witness that women have become a scholar before. “

Poetry and narrator Sujata says, “It is often reminiscent of men to be a woman in the poet conference. When the man who operates the stage or organizer has to interrupt for a feminine malice comment or hearing the ejacinist statement soaked in the syrup of senior poet presiding, it seems bad. ”

Lata Haya says, “I have told the organizers many times that if people of the stupid type will be called, I will not come in the program. Now no matter how big the stage operators are, they call me carefully on the stage. It has also happened to me that I have left the stage protesting. But if the audience starts loving you, then they have to call them. “

‘Going on stage the most beautiful moment but also fear…’

The new generation Urdu shayra Shariqa Malik says, “Going to the stage is the most beautiful moment for me because people come to listen to me. I come from a society where girls are not appreciated to go on stage, but we have reached the stage by breaking a lot of social shackles.

She further says, “In the present time, you do not have to face a lot of difficulties in going on the stage, but there is definitely a fear that you do not say something that does not make it difficult for you and the family. We have to see the fact that when we are going to a program, who are his organizers and what kind of arrangements have been made for the stay. “

Question on the struggle of women…

Babusha Kohli, a poetess and prosely -awarded poet of the Indian Jnanpith, says, “Many times in the literary world, people feel that poets get the benefit of being a woman, but this is not right. By saying this, the struggle of women is questioned and dismissed from the end. At the same time, there are some people who respect the journey of women, then you get happiness. Then it seems that we are being able to represent many voices as a woman. ”

Babusha Kohli says, “When we are on a platform, we represent someone, the voice of some people. So, without pressure without evaluation, women should express themselves through all the mediums. ”

Lack of women on stage

Aisha Job, who is involved in the contemporary female poetry, says, “We often have a minority feel because we go to some big programs, so there are one or two shayras.”

Referring to the Mushaira of IIT Gandhi Nagar, Aisha Job says, “I was the only poetry in that program. We reached there at night. There was a return flight at four o’clock in the morning. At such a time, we feel that there should be someone else with us. In such a situation, it happens that poetry starts to avoid going into such programs. And on the other hand, on the other hand, if your family members are also ready to go to such a program, where the number of women is negligible. “

Anupam Singh, a new generation poetess, says, “Popular platforms produce the same popular things that are already part of the common sense in the society. Many times, anti -female things are seen in poetry on those forums and are popular because they are already part of society. Many times it happens that a single woman is sitting as a poetess to read poetry on stage. ”

Sujata says that listeners often do not understand the power play running on the stage. Whom to give less and who to give more importance, this whole game operators and organizers play together, or the operator alone. I realized that reading poetry or speaking on any other subject, fellow male speakers do not tolerate the intellectual attitude of the female creator.

Patriarchy also in the world of literature?

Shayra Aisha Job says that literary programs are mail-dominated. In such a situation, there are many people in our fellow poets who try to be very good in front of you, but that they talk about many types of poets behind the back. Many times it is also said that women do not know from whom they bring shayari, writing themselves or someone else is writing. There are very few people who have respected a woman and her poetry on the stage.

Babusha Kohli says that the biggest evidence of patriarchy in the world of poet conferences is that there is more number of men there. In order to struggle with the influence of patriarchy in different parts of the world, it is necessary that more women should come in the world of literature. I want every woman to write her story, pains, happiness and express herself to the things that she enjoys.

Referring to an incident on the stage recently, Aisha Job said, “Mushaira’s Nazim (stage operator) targeted me. At the time of Mushaira, he keeps commenting with almost every shayra to be disgraceful, tampering, pulling the legs and enjoying the audience. Sometimes they do this in the words directly or sometimes in the words. In August last year, he commented while narrating my poetry on stage. Referring to this, I posted social media and after that he provoked many literary people against me and an attempt was made to make my moral down on social media. After this, I started a legal battle on this matter and we did FIR on 16 people. At present, this matter is going on in court. “

Aisha Job further says, “If you will tamper with the woman in gestures to have fun of the audience, then what will be the difference between the stand-up comedy and literary program. My question is why the woman is not taken seriously. Has men only taken the contract to do Sanjida Shayari? Even a poetry can do poetry on Hassas issues. “

Poetry Anupam Singh says, “The mental structure of the audience also causes a challenge many times. Women are also less on stage and women are also less listeners. Among such listeners, someone is reading poems of nationalism, politics and other references. A poetess is struggling in the poem by taking the question of the experience of women and their existence, so after seeing the audience sitting in front, it is felt that we are not able to reach them. At the same time, there is no problem in reading in front of aware listeners on the other hand. ”

Talking about the audience, Lata Haya says, “The audience listens very well, the college children listen very sensibly but if the molestation and splash between the operating and the poetess started or any poetess has heard the lion on his side, then the audience deteriorates.”

At the same time, Shayra Shariqa Malik shares her experience and says that now good people have started meeting in literary programs, who try to make them feel better. There are some people in the audience and colleagues, who make you feel uncomfortable and such people are found everywhere. At such a time, technology is proving to be very effective, through which you can make your family feel better by staying connected.

‘Why can’t a woman be a good shayra and poetry…’

Lata Haya says, “Women and men in Mushayars need to fix the ratio and this responsibility is of Mushaira’s organizers. There is a need to get more in the world of literature of women. When the ladies are coming in the second field, then why not come in this field, what is the woman not? A woman can be a Miss Universe, a big scientist, so why can’t there be a good shayra and poetry? “

She further says that it is regrettable that the same women are being brought on the stage, who are good throat or who come under the purview of refreshment. Why is no shayra made of aunt? Once the lion was cooked on the stage in front of me, but he did not know that this is my lion.

‘A lot of difference in Mushaira and Kavi Sammelan…’

Lata Haya goes to both Urdu and Hindi forums. She has been part of all kinds of programs, poets of college Mushayars and jails, between the common people. She shares the experience of the forums, saying, “There is a lot of difference in Mushaira and Kavi Sammelan. Even today, there is a lot of tehzeeb, adab and hearing on Urdu forums. Even today on Hindi forums, there is more life, but on Urdu forums, a pottery still runs. On the other hand, Urdu Samains are more intelligent, they understand the depth of poetry but Hindi audience has to explain with poetry. ”
