An overview of Pakistaniness in the context of Urdu literature

اردو ادب کے تناظر میں پاکستانیت کا مجموعی جائزہ

Abstract

An individual is identified as a unit of society. This individual cannot be separated from the political and social factors affecting the society in any way. Compared to this individual, a writer or a creator whose creative roots are more deeply rooted in social beliefs and ideas, it is impossible for him to be ignorant or indifferent to the factors influencing social values. Literary movements are the means of expression of aesthetic tendencies which play their role in the creation of literature and the promotion of ideas by representing different regions and values. Every literary movement has been involved in the creation of literature with the literary ideas of its era. Writers associated with these movements presented the aims and objectives of the movement in the form of different genres of literature in their works. After the establishment of Pakistan, in view of the political, social and geographical conditions, the writers of Pakistan put forward the idea of ​​Pakistan and Pakistaniness and made these themes part of the creations in the creation of literature, which were considered helpful in the promotion of Pakistaniness. The literary expression of the idea of ​​Pakistani literature or the purpose of propagating Pakistaniness can be seen in poetry and prose genres. In this paper, an overall review of Pakistaniness will be taken in the context of Urdu literature.
