| Echoes of Lucknow Supergiants' Win and 'Defeat by Literature': 'Mian from Lucknow first learn literature, then walks' |
Cricket has been called a 'gentleman's game' since its inception, but competition and competition have fostered aggression in it. In the past, the sport has also resisted the scourge of racial discrimination that has eroded its soul.
However, yesterday a slogan was written in the stadium of India's 'civilized capital' Lucknow during the match of the Indian Premier League i.e. IPL which not only restored the old meaning of cricket but also proved the cultural heritage of Lucknow. Tributes were also received from the people.
The new IPL team Lucknow Supergiants took on Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday and Saturday night and the two cities are also known for their different customs and their unique delicacies.
Lucknow Supergiants had their tagline written outside the stadium in the form of a banner with money on it 'Adab Se Harain'.
And they made Hyderabad two-four with ease and without any flurry of defeats to overtake Gujarat at the top of the IPL leader table.
The Hyderabad team chose to bat first but could only score 121 runs in the allotted 20 overs against Lucknow's 'baadab' bowling. This target was achieved by the Lucknow team in 16 overs at the loss of five wickets.
Jokingly, it is said that the people of Lucknow are so civilized that even if there is a quarrel and the person in front of them becomes unbearable, they refrain from badmouthing the person in front of them,,, and if things go too far. And when it comes to insults, they abuse them in a very sophisticated way.
However, last night the pioneer of the 'Pahle Aap Pher Aap' culture played good cricket and is currently on top in terms of 'Fair Play' as well.
During the match, even though the commentators mentioned 'Adab Se Haraynege' and counted their easy win in the same category, the talk about it on social media is getting more interesting.
Echoes on social media
Noted cricket commentator and author of several books, Harsha Bhogle, openly acknowledged the tagline and wrote: 'I have heard great things in cricket. Sometimes words related to war have been used, but for the first time I heard that we will 'defeat literature'. What is Lucknow.'
Civilization of Lucknow
Regarding the civilization of Lucknow, Ruqia Jafari writes in one of her articles that "Nawab of Oudh of Iranian origin ruled in Lucknow." Eleven Nawabs promoted it to such an extent that it became famous all over the world.
"The last specimen of Eastern civilization with its faint traces is still visible today."
She further writes: 'His virtue was strengthening its roots, i.e. compassion, honesty, modesty, generosity, contentment, endurance, self-restraint, hard work, the value of time and restraint, truth, the people and qualities of Lucknow. Elegance was embedded in every sphere of life and it reached its peak by the time of Wajid Ali Shah.
But the decline that started after that, the well-known writer Abdul Halim Sharar wrote his well-known work 'Ghishta Lucknow' in which, according to Rekhta, the history of Lucknow's culture and civilization has been described in a very interesting way.
This book shows the model of storytelling, novel writing,,,,, and history. After reading this book, different impressions of Lucknow come before the eyes of the reader like film images.
The geography and brief history of Lucknow is described and the exploits, philanthropies,,,,, and ring relays of the Nawabs of Lucknow are also mentioned.
This book is the most popular book after Sharr's novel Firdous-i-Brin. Due to its popularity, it has been translated into several Indian languages.
