ڈیجیٹل عہد میں غالب کی بازیافت

Abstract

This study explores how Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib’s work is being rediscovered in the digital age. Today, online platforms have made his poetry, letters, and manuscripts easily available to readers around the world. However, this research argues that easy access does not always lead to better understanding.

The study focuses on five main areas: the idea of Digital Humanities, the digitization of manuscripts, and the challenges of digital preservation. It shows that while digital tools have helped preserve and share Ghalib’s work, problems still exist. These include errors in Urdu text recognition, wrong attribution of poetry on social media platforms, and unreliable information generated by artificial intelligence.

The research also looks at computer-based analysis of Ghalib’s poetry and explains that such methods cannot fully capture the depth, complexity, and multiple meanings in his work.

In conclusion, the study finds that the digital age has solved the problem of access but not the problem of understanding. It suggests the need for a reliable Urdu-based digital platform, better cooperation between scholars, and improved digital awareness so that Ghalib’s work can be properly understood, not just widely available.
