Hamid Ansari Inaugurates International Urdu Marsia Conference

INVC,,
Delhi,,
The Vice President of India, Shri M. Hamid Ansari inaugurated the “International Urdu Marsia Conference” here today. Addressing on the occasion he said that Marsia can be written and heard by heart only. A fully developed Marsiya is always an epic. He hoped that the seminar will help in getting more people associated with Marsia.  The word ‘Marsiya’ is derived from the Arabic word ‘Risa’, meaning a great tragedy or lamentation for a departed soul.Marsiya (or elegy), is nearly always on the death of Hasan and Hussein and their families, but occasionally on the death of relatives and friends. It is usually in six-lined stanzas with the rhyme aaaabb. The recitation of these elegies in the first ten days of Muharram is one of the greatest event in Muslim life
