Progressive writers passed a resolution to boycott Manto. There is a mentionable role of Hassan Askari in this decision;Hassan Askari is renowned for criticism more than fiction writing and his work and efforts to introduce “Pakistani Literature” is unforgettable.</p> <p>This study examines the situation of literary conflict raised in result of Manto and Hassan Askari’s friendship and reaction of progressive writers. It discusses the major events to understand this situation that are; Askari’s appreciation for Manto’s short story “&nbsp; "بابو گوپی ناتھ, preface of “سیاہ خاشیے” written by Hassan Askari and Publication of literary magazine “اردو ادب”. This literary conflict reveals the narrow-mindedness and extremism of progressive writers and also revels the aim of movement at that time which were more political than literary. Study reveals that a writer’s progressiveness does not depend on belonging to a movement.</p> ماریہ امجد Copyright (c) 2024 http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/6024 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0500 غزلیاتِ گوہر ۔ ماحولیاتی تنقید کے تناظر میں http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/6025 <p>Ecocriticism is a relatively new field of study, which addresses the environmental crisis as well as echoes of nature in literature. A modern and important wave of ecocriticism is anthropocentrism. Under the theory of anthropocentrism, humans advanced in the direction of scientific evolution and made new inventions in the world of technology, as a result of which the world faced an environmental crisis. While writers and poets made social sciences the center of writing, they also wrote in environmental perspective. Ecocriticism explains how writers addressed this important issue and which environmental issues became part of their fiction and poetry. Also, environmental criticism offers an analytical study of literature.</p> <p>Afzal Gohar is a famous poet of Urdu Ghazal. Although there are a variety of themes in his ghazals, it would be right to call Afzal Gohar a poet of environment. As much as Afzal Gohar has seen and written about the environment from different aspects, I think no ghazal poet has written like this till date. In this article, an analytical study of Afzal Gohar's Ghazal is presented in the context of Ecocriticism.</p> عبداللہ نعیم رسول; قیصر جاوید, عادل بادشاہ Copyright (c) 2024 http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/6025 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0500 فرخ سہیل گوئندی کے سفر نامہ میں ہوں جہاں گرد میں تاریخی وسیاسی شعور http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/6026 <p>Literature mirrors the essence and values of life itself.

Hamida Shaheen stands out as a contemporary poetess who has mastered both key genres of Urdu poetry—Nazm and Ghazal—earning her a distinguished place among her contemporaries. This paper delves into her literary significance by analyzing her three poetry collections: Dastak, Dasht-e-Wujood, and Zinda Hoon. Her work offers a nuanced exploration of social, political, and contemporary issues through a distinctly feminist lens, reflecting the insights of a deeply aware creator. Through this study, Hamida Shaheen emerges as a prominent voice of modern sensibility in Urdu poetry.</p> ڈاکٹر طاہرہ صدیقہ Copyright (c) 2024 http://irigs.iiu.edu.pk:64447/ojs/index.php/meyar/article/view/6578 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0500
