  • A Review of the Contributions by Women to Urdu Literature in Earlier and Nearby Periods
    American Journal of Educational Science Vol. 1, No. 4, 2015, pp. 152-158 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ ajes A Review of the Contributions by Women to Urdu Literature in Earlier and Nearby Periods Robina Kausar 1, Muhammad Sarwar 2, *, Muhammad Shabbir 3 1Government Islamia College for Women, Department of Urdu, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan 2Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Nuclear Institute for Agriculture & Biology, Department of Plant Protection, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan 3Government College for Boys, Department of Statistics, Chak Jhumra, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Abstract Urdu literature has a long and colourful history, and it is perhaps the only language that can be enjoyed even if anybody does not understand it. Pakistan’s quest for new ideas on Urdu literature produced some of the most powerful prose and poetry from many excellent writers and poets including women. Although important women writers have appeared before creation of Pakistan, yet the present era saw a proliferation of prose and poetry by women which critiqued the cultural, social and political systems with profound insight and great passion. Speculatively, the reason for the existing of many fine women writers in Pakistan, as compared to almost rare in subcontinent, may be owing to the different ways in which women in Pakistan and Muslim women elsewhere are members of civil society and participate in the public sphere. Within the scope of this paper the main theme is to indicate the key role of women writers and poets, they have played in creating awareness among the folks not only what the womanhood passes through, but also the social constraints that mars their own development.

  • Translating a Poetic Discourse: Modern Poetry of Pakistan Reviewed by Qaisar Abbas
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 2, No. 3 (2010) Translating a Poetic Discourse: Modern Poetry of Pakistan Reviewed by Qaisar Abbas Modern Poetry of Pakistan. Iftikhar Arif, Waqas Khwaja, eds. London: Dalkey Archive Press, 2011. ISBN-9781564786050. It’s a rarity to see English translations of Pakistani poetry from Urdu and region- al languages in one anthology. The well known contemporary Urdu poet, Iftikhar Arif, who is also the Chairman of National Language Authority, has accomplished this daunting task as its editor. The forthcoming anthology “Modern Poetry of Paki- stan” is an extraordinary work that offers a colorful mosaic of romantic, postcolo- nial, modernist and postmodernist streams in the contemporary poetic discourse in Pakistan. The anthology offers 148 poems by 44 poets in English translated from seven languages including Urdu and regional languages-Balochi, Kashmiri, Pun- jabi, Pashto, Saraiki and Sindhi. It includes stalwarts of Urdu poetry, Allama Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Hafeez Jalandhari, Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, and Josh Malihabadi, and the post colonial generation of N.M. Rashid, Meeraji, Ahmad Faraz, Majeed Amjad, Habib Jalib, Kishwar Nahid, Parveen Shakir, Munir Niazi and Iftikhar Arif. The second cadre of poets includes Sarmad Sehbai, Zafar Iqbal, Fahmida Riaz, Mustafa Zaidi, Shabnam Shakil, Ada Jafri and Nasir Kazmi among others. The 344-page anthology will be published in January 2011 by Dalkey Archive Press from London and Champaign with a price tag of $16.95. However, it is not inclusion of Urdu poets but the contemporary poets of re- gional languages that makes this anthology an astounding work. It includes Sheikh Ayaz, Janbaz Jatoi, Tanveer Abbasi, Sehar Imdad and Pushpa Vallabh (Sindhi); Hasina Gul, Ghani Khan, Gul Khan Naseer, Amir Hamza Khan Shinwari and Sa- mandar Khan Samandar (Pushto); Taos Binhali (Kashmiri); Ata Shad (Balochi), and Ustad Daman, Sharif Kunjahi, and Ahmed Rahi (Punjabi).

  • Representation of Women in Postcolonial Literature in Pakistan
    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 34, No. 2, July – December, 2019, pp. 617 – 627 Representation of Women in Postcolonial Literature in Pakistan Rukhsana Yasmeen University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. Muhammad Iqbal Chawla University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. ABSTRACT This article attempts to explores, investigate and analyzes the postcolonial Urdu writings on the Pakistani women‟s participation in the socio-economic, religious and political arena. Urdu literature is spread all over the subcontinent and there are no borders in literature that can split it into two. This article would like to discuss literature mainly produced by Pakistani writers. However, while arguing that most literature has been written from a patriarchal viewpoint throughout the history, two main themes dominated the postcolonial literature firstly, role of women in the patriarchal society and other, the trauma of migration and its impact on the Muslim women in Pakistan. Islamic influence enforced purdah on Muslim women and purdahless women were regarded as infidel and shameless in literature. Nineteenth century Muslim writers advocated modern education for women not with the idea of emancipation but with a view to creating the modern wife, sister and mother. In this context, we can see that Allama Rashid-ul- Khairi's modernist writings which were apparently sympathetic to women, were in fact meant to strengthen existing gender arrangements. The Progressive Writers‟ Movement brought about some change in the representation of women and the family, for example, Sajjad Haider Yaldram, Azeem Baig Chughtai and Ismat Chughtai depicted the negative side of the patriarchal society in which women were being exploited.

  • Twentieth-Century Urdu Literature
    Published in Handbook of Twentieth-Century Literatures of India, ed. by Nalini Natarajan, Greenwood Press, Westport, CT, 1996. TWENTIETH-CENTURY URDU LITERATURE1 Omar Qureshi This introductory summary, of the course of Urdu literature in the twentieth century must continuously refer back to the nineteenth. This becomes necessary because, depending on one’s point of view, it was Urdu’s destiny or misfortune to gradually become identified as the lingua franca of the Muslims of India in the latter half of the last century. Consequently, the still unresolved dilemmas of the politics of Muslim identity in South Asia are difficult to separate from their expression in and through the development of Urdu. For our purposes then, the most significant consequence of the failed rebellion of 1857 was the gradual emergence of group identity among the recently politically dispossessed and culturally disoriented Muslim elite of North India. This effort to define Indian Muslim nationhood in the new colonial environment placed issues of past, present and future identity at the center of elite Muslim concerns. Not only were these concerns expressed largely in Urdu, but the literary legacy of Urdu formed the terrain through and on which some of the more significant debates were conducted. The Muslim leadership that emerged after 1857 looked to this pre-colonial literary legacy as an authentic, but highly problematic repository of the Indian Muslim identity; and the Urdu language itself as the most effective medium for the renewal and reform of the Muslims of British India. As Muslim identity politics gathered strength in colonial India, and Urdu was turned into the print language of the emerging nation, discussions of an apparently purely literary nature became a veritable mirror of ideological and sociopolitical change among India’s Muslims.
