Urdu Bazar, the street opposite Jama Masjid was known for the literature available here. Frequented by writers, poets, scholars is now known for the kababs and fried chicken sold here. Kutub Khana Anjuman Taraqqi e Urdu and Maktaba Jamia are the only two shops left which still sell 'adab' on this street. Nizamuddin Sahab and Khusro Sahab who manage these two book shops have spent their lives in the service of Urdu language. They both have been witness to the changes Urdu Bazar and Urdu language have seen over the years and speak at length about it.
