Tahreek -E- Urdu came into existence few years back in Patna under the leadership of social activist and senior journalist Mohammad Kamaluzzafar who worked decade back as the Editor of Qaumi Awaaz, Patna edition.

After its foundation the movement is regularly struggling for the right of Urdu language, its implementation in government bodies & schools and for popularising it among the masses.
