I cleaned up the first paragraph. The language needs close copy editing throughout. As to content, the genre is not primarily (or necessarily originally) Urdu, but also prominent in Persian and to some degree (as I understand it) Turkish. The most important scholarship on the genre is by Sunil Sharma and his works should be consulted to rework this entry, which is currently based on a useful but older piece (Peteivich) and works that draw from Sharma and less substantiated journalistic and popular pieces. Sharma writes on both Persian and Urdu shahrashob, on Urdu see also A Dudney, A Kaicker, E Tignol, Y Sharma, and others (Dubrow already cited here). On Persian see 2021 book by K Babayan. Not sure of Turkish sources, but the genre was also used under the later Ottomans. Dak3!8 (talk) 17:45, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
