Dear Dan,
A. R. Khatoon wrote about the 1935 earthquake in Quetta in her novel "Shama", which is in Urdu. It was published in 1941.
Thank you
Regards,
Hajirah
To all the responders: Many thanks. The Ministry of Education dictionary is a fantastic resource that I din't know about, and will enthusiastically recommend to anybody interested. It shows that the 积 character does exist as a variant for 積. This raises all sorts of questions. Were enthusiastic simplifiers sticking unauthorized simplifications into their linotype fonts around 1987 or '89, or was the ms. prepared for publication before that? Were the editor(s) submitting their own handwritten simplifications to the printer?
Dear Don,
I don't think you would be stumped by 积, although it is true that googling 積稿 produces a lot of hits that may or may not be relevant.
Are you talking about ji1 积/積?
If the character is 积, then it is the simplified 積。This it should read 一九一一年所積稿，the text/draft compiled/collected in 1911.
I would think it is ji1 积， so “. . . (1911) nian suo zuo X gao”= “. . . (1911) 年所做积稿, meaning the drafts that have been crafted over the years.
Dear Dan,
There is one nazm by Nazir Akbarabadi, called Bhuchal Nama, describing the earthquake in Agra during early 19th c. He has also written on other natural occurrence such as Aandhi (Hurricane).
Hope it helps,
Sanjay Garg
