As the poster says…
"Building on Introductory Urdu, this course will improve students' ability to speak, read, understand and write the Urdu-Hindi language۔ Students have the option to write all assignments in the Hindi script; a full Hindi version of the textbook is available. Teaching involves in-class activities, conversation, and lessons, as well as homework exercises and tests. By the end of the course students will have a grasp of the full range of Urdu-Hindi grammar. Students will be familiarized with aspects of South Asian culture connected with the language, and will be exposed to Urdu-Hindi poetry and film. Students from outside of McGill are welcome to take this course through CREPUQ. Please email the professor for further information."
The image is from the Satyajit Ray film, Shatranj ke khilāṛī, an exquisite treatment of the fall of the state of Awadh at the hands of the British. Hopefully by the end of the course students will have learned enough Urdu to understand the dialogues.
