My parents (mother & father) were born in Jampur & they have got very vivid and lively memories of the same. After partition they migrated and settled in Bhiwani (Haryana-India) but not a single day passes without remembering gali-kuchas or mohallas of jampur. They have taught us ‘Saraiyiki’ as our mother tongue. Asan ghar vhich heen boli vihch hee gaalin karande haan. Ih boli saanko bahun achhi lagdi hai te asan heenkoo kaafi pasand karende hain. When I showed them some of the photographs of jampur and also progress made in the field of I.T. and other areas, they were very happy. They intend to visit jampur very shortly

THE TRAMPLED LOWERS
Trampled lowers, since the British Empire, are surviving under uppers’ duress
Who all the times press, repress, suppress, compress, if deem it fit, also aggress
Privileges are their birthright, while the lowers wait for the residues to munch
High built houses on state pillars, parroting lowers’ sobs to boost their distress
(WORDS COMPSED USING URDU /ARABIC PROSODY )
It is informative and is helpful for my thesis.
