[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.
