The Punjabi Zuban o Adab: In the Post Colonialism perspective
Abstract
The historical evolution of Punjabi language presents very interesting phenomena of Colonial and Imperial aggressions and invasions of this area which is spread from Indus to Ganges and from Kashmir to Rajpootana. This area can be called the cradle of Punjabi culture and civilization, having varied manifestations in different regions due to local differences and physical distances. The Punjab presents a composite picture where both colonial as well as imperialistic aggressions took place. Its deeper study will show that from pre Vedic times to the present day its language, its people and population, its civilization, its culture and Socio religious landscape have been continuously changing and metamorphosing. This paper undertakes to illustrate the above over the spread centuries crossing over the ethnic religious cultural, geographical and historical fault-lines.
