Kamar Se Kamre Tak – CAMERA CONNECTION | An Interesting Urdu Word Story

In this fascinating linguistic journey, Raheel Farooq of the Lehja channel reveals the shocking secret: Kamar and Kamra are, in fact, derivatives of the SAME ancient word!

The video traces the etymology of Kamra from the Latin Camera (and Camera Obscura) to the Greek Kamara (گُنبد/محراب) and finally back to an ancient nomadic root 'Khaym' (خیم). You'll learn how the same root gave birth to the Persian word Kham (خم - Bend), which in turn explains the origin of Kamar (the bending part of the body).

Discover the surprising family tree that also includes the English words Camera, Chamber, and Comrade—all connected to your Kamar! This is the hidden history of Urdu-Hindi vocabulary that your school never taught you.
