Today\ , however\, Chiranji’s\nuseful dictionary has been all but forgotten while the contemporaneous Farhang-i\nAsafiyah\nof Sayyid\nAhmad Dihlavi is\ncel ebrated. In the midst of the increasingly communalized linguistic\nenviron ment of late-nineteenth-century northern India\, Hindu lexicographers\nlik e Chiranji\ncould no longer fit neatly into the emerging Urdu literary cul ture. \;
