Rekhtaorg

Rekhta.org is a digital platform dedicated to Urdu language and literature. Operated by Rekhta Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on digitizing and promoting Urdu heritage, the site serves as an online archive, library, and publishing platform for poets, prose writers, and researchers.

The site hosts a large catalog of Urdu poetry and prose from classical to contemporary writers. Entries are presented in original Perso-Arabic script with transliteration and, where available, translations in English and other languages. It provides biographical notes, editorial commentary, and robust search tools that allow users to filter by poet, form, era, or theme. Audio recordings and video performances accompany selected entries, enhancing accessibility.

Rekhta.org aims to make Urdu literature widely accessible and easy to study. The platform offers free access to a substantial portion of its content and provides licensing for broader use by educators and researchers. It collaborates with publishers, academic institutions, and cultural organizations, and supports events such as online programs and poetry festivals to promote Urdu language and heritage.

As a cultural initiative, Rekhta Foundation focuses on preservation, digitization, and education. The site serves not only casual readers but also students, scholars, and the global Urdu-reading community by linking historical works with contemporary writing and digital tools.
