The Bhendi Bazaar Urdu Festival is back with its second edition, after 2014. The three-day festival, which will be inaugurated by Mumbai mayor Snehal Ambekar will present an interesting Mushaira (poetry symposiums) of non-Urdu and non-Muslim poets and a discussion that will see non-Urdu litterateurs, academicians and intellectuals share their thoughts on Urdu, since the organisers believe that Urdu doesn't belong to a particular community.
