Trends &Traditions In Pakistani Literature in English.pptxMUHAMMAD AZAM, VICE PRINCIPAL IMSB G-6/4, ISLAMABAD
Pakistani literature in English has developed over several stages from pre-partition to the present. Early works reflected the turmoil of the independence movement and creation of Pakistan. Major themes included nationalism, social conflicts, and secularism. Prominent early writers included Ahmed Ali and Mumtaz Shahzawaz. Post-partition literature focused on disillusionment and threats to liberal values. Writers like Manto, Kazi, and Farooqi explored social issues through short stories. More recent decades saw increased exploration of issues like politics, history, gender, and identity by writers such as Shamsie, Hamid, and Hanif. Pakistani literature has grown to give voice to the country's diverse experiences over the decades.Identity, Homelessness and Isolation in “The Room on the Roof”
