Celebrating a Tradition - A Game of Urdu Poetry

Baitbaazi represents a long-established tradition of using Urdu poetry for a game or competition that tests how many couplets (sher/ashaar) one can store in one’s memory and how readily a couplet can be recited in response to a couplet recited by another competitor. The competition involves two or more individuals or teams following a pattern in which one of them initiates the competition by reciting a couplet and the other team/individual readily responds with a couplet that begins with the last letter of the couplet recited by the first team/individual. The competition is judged on the basis of how promptly teams/individuals respond to each other’s of couplets, correctness of metric rhythm, pronunciation and style of presentation. Baitbaazi is popular in India, Pakistan and the entire Urdu diaspora as a game that enriches one’s repertoire of Urdu poetry and motivates to memorize more and more Urdu couplets. Antakshari is the Hindi counterpart of Baitbaazi, which is also well-established among the enthusiasts of Hindi poetry/songs.
