Yesterday I discovered Lata Haya on YouTube. While browsing around for some videos on Mushaira's, I got to hear the shayari of Lata Haya. I had earlier seen something on her on Facebook but had never got around to finding more about her.
She belongs to a Marwari family from Jaipur. Her family were 'kattar' Brahmins. There was no exposure to Urdu language or culture. But she started becoming passionately interested in Urdu. She taught herself the language and started doing 'Shayari'. She has been participating in Mushaira's since the last 20 years and has now become quite renowned across the world.
She has also become very interested in Islam and has read a lot. Through her shayari she expresses her love and passion for Urdu and also for Islam. It comes straight from the heart.
She also appears in TV shows and has featured in some movies also.
Her shayari touches the heart. It is quite moving.
She represents the 'Ganga Jamni' tehzeeb of India. Dara Shikoh studied and translated the Upanishads and the veds on one hand and on the other some of the most significant names of Urdu literature are Firaq Gorakhpuri, Krishanchander and Rajinder Singh Bedi.
