What to Focus On

  • Most northern Indian scripts came from old Brahmi, except Urdu script.
  • Hindi has many forms such as Braj Bhasha, Avadhi, Maithili, Rajasthani, and Khadi Boli.
  • Braj Bhasha, Avadhi, and Maithili are literary dialects linked to specific poets.
  • Urdu grew from contact between Hindi and Persian.
  • Its early growth was linked with the Turkish settlement after 1192.
  • It spread in the Bahamani states and was called dakshini or daccani there.
  • Prithviraj Raso is regarded as the first book in Hindi.
  • Tulsidas wrote Ramcharitmanas in Avadhi and adapted Valmiki’s story.
  • Surdas, Kabir, Mirabai, Rahim, Bhushan, and Bihari are major Hindi-Bhakti poets.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Urdu is simply another old northern Indian language that developed directly from Sanskrit like the other Indian languages.

Khadi Boli is the same as Braj Bhasha or Avadhi because all three are just forms of Hindi.

Tulsidas followed Valmiki's Ramayana exactly, so both versions contain the same events.

Memory Tips
