Focusing on the culturally and historically rich Siraiki-speaking
region, often tagged as 'South Punjab', this book discusses the
ways in which Siraiki creative writers have transformed into
political activists, resisting the self-imposed domination of the
Punjabi-Mohajir ruling elite. Influenced by Sufi poets, their
poetry takes the shape of both protest and dialogue. This book
reflects upon the politics of identity and the political
complications which are a result of colonisation and later,
neo-colonisation of Pakistan. It challenges the philosophy of
Pakistan - a state created for Muslims - which is now taking the
shape of religious fanaticism, while disregarding ethnic and
linguistic issues such as that of Siraiki.
