Yesterday, I finally gave up on the idea of finding time to go for an
urdu poetry group in "rec.arts" hierarchy and created
"alt.language.urdu.poetry".
The need for such a group has been expressed on net several times and I
am sure that there is enough interest out there for a newsgroup on poetry.
The name of this group is such that it is expected to spawn many lietrary
newsgroups for different languages. Hey! If enough people are interested, we
can also think of having a "alt.language.urdu.prose".
Anyway, since I created this group yesterday, it probably will not be approved
by many news administrators until a couple of days (though it has appeared
on my site, and I have received acknowledgement from a few other places). If
you do not get this group in a couple of days, bug your system administrator.
For the time being, when you post something to "alt.language.urdu.poetry",
cross-post to other standard sub-continent groups as well. This will ensure
that your post gets to maximum number of people.
