вЂњThat will enable these texts to be taught in the classroom and be more widely available to the people of Little Rock,вЂќ he said. Over the next year, Amstutz plans to work with the library to acquire English translations that have been published of some of the books. In the years to come, I hope many people come to UA Little Rock to learn about the Urdu language, literature, culture.вЂќ вЂњI also hope it will encourage others to donate their Urdu books to UA Little Rock, so the collection will continue to grow. вЂњI am working on reaching out to the local Indian and Pakistani communities to let them know that the collection is here,вЂќ he said.

Memon was a key figure in the translation of literature from Urdu to English,вЂќ Amstutz said. As the editor of the only literary journal in the United States about Urdu that was published in English, Memon collected an impressive Urdu library. The collection represents a unique reflection of vernacular publishing in India and Pakistan in the 20 th century. The collection consists of novels, short stories, books of poetry, Urdu dictionaries, and literary journals and criticism from the 1930s to early 2000s. I want to thank the Center for South Asia and the University Library at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for making this possible.вЂќ When I came to UA Little Rock, I suggested the university donate the collection to Ottenheimer Library. вЂњThe university already had many of the books in their library, and they wanted to find a good home for the collection.

Memon is significant because he donated his books to the University of Wisconsin-Madison,вЂќ Amstutz said.

Urdu is the official national language of Pakistan and is one of 22 officially recognized languages of India. Some of my relatives studied Urdu, and I wanted to learn more as well.вЂќ There are tidbits of family history that got me very interested in the area. вЂњMy grandfather went to boarding school in India, and my great-grandfather was a bishop. вЂњSome of my family members served as teachers and missionaries in India and Pakistan,вЂќ said Amstutz, assistant professor of history at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
