In 1903, Urdu-e-Mualla was launched from Aligarh. Along with political articles, it also published literary, biographical, scholarly, historical, and social writings. Hasrat Mohani transformed this magazine into a beautiful blend of literature and politics. It played a significant role in awakening political consciousness while also fostering a refined literary taste. This magazine was unparalleled in terms of research and criticism, political awareness, selection of literary works, and reviews. A careful study of Urdu-e-Mualla would prove that Hasrat Mohani was not just a great poet but also a remarkable researcher, a serious thinker, and a distinguished critic.
