NEW DELHI -- After four decades working as a katib (calligrapher) in Delhi's Urdu Bazaar, Mohammad Ghalib sees himself as guardian of a dying tradition.
The bazaar, known for its rich literary culture, especially in the Urdu language, was for centuries one of India's key centers of printing and publishing where books, booklets, cards, telegrams and postcards were written for customers by professional calligraphers.
