Rekhta (website)

Rekhta is a website and online platform dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Urdu language and literature. Launched in 2013, it serves as a comprehensive digital resource for Urdu poetry, prose, dictionaries, and learning materials.

The platform features a vast digital library of Urdu texts, including both classical and contemporary works. This includes digitized books, manuscripts, and articles. Rekhta allows users to search for specific poets, authors, keywords, and themes within its extensive collection.

A key feature of Rekhta is its rendering of Urdu script, making it accessible to users who may not be familiar with the traditional Nastaliq calligraphy. The website offers transliteration options, allowing users to read Urdu text in Roman script. This makes Urdu literature accessible to a wider audience, including those learning the language.

In addition to its digital library, Rekhta offers various resources for learning Urdu. These include language courses, dictionaries, and interactive tools. The platform also hosts online events, such as poetry recitations (mushairas) and literary discussions, further contributing to the promotion of Urdu language and culture.

Rekhta plays a significant role in connecting Urdu speakers and enthusiasts worldwide and in preserving and promoting Urdu literature for future generations. The platform is supported by the Rekhta Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the cause of Urdu language and literature.
