[Reader-list] need names of urdu bookstores in Bombay and Delhi

[Yousuf]

Dear Amit
Sadly Urdu bookstores are becoming extinct. You could
find some stores on Mohammad Ali Road in Mumbai - look
for Maktaba Jamia - you may even find some roadside
stalls on that road.

As for Delhi, there is something called the Urdu bazar
on the south gate side of Jama Masjid which used to
have many bookstores (most of which are now Kabab
sellers). But you can still find good books at Maktaba
Jamia's shop in Urdu Bazar. (This road can be
approached from the Darya Ganj overhead bridge side).
In Urdu bazar, you will also find a store of Anjuman
Taraqqi Urdu which has good selection. The rest of the
bookstores sell religious books only. Another small
store (which has good selection) is the official shop
of Anjuman Taraqqi Urdu at their office on Rouse
Avenue (also known as Deen Dayal Upadhyaya marg) near
ITO.
