Siraiki Language and Ethnic Identity
Get PDFIn the light of Instrumentalist and the Primordialist theory of ethnicity, I discuss in this paper, how the Siraiki language was used as a symbol to create the Siraiki identity. After tracing different factors which led to the creation and assertion of a separate Siraiki identity, I review the efforts made by the Siraiki nationalists to this effect. In the light of these I determine whether the overall approach of the Siraiki nationalists is either purely instrumental or solely emotional or both.

Poststructuralist Feminist Discourse: An Over-view
Get PDFThis paper is based on an over-view of poststructuralist feminist discourse literature. The researcher has reviewed the works on feminist discourse and tried to deconstruct the idea of single identity of a woman. The basic objective of this research is to show that women writers definitely need an alternative discourse of their own, as has been suggested by Virginia Woolf (1966), to move away from the linear patriarchal structure, which in itself is gender- biased. The researcher shows that in women identities are constructed through various social roles assigned to them by the society and for the assignment of these roles discourse play a very important role as has been maintained by James Gee(1996) in his concept of discourse. The researcher has combined the theories of eminent feminists with the discourse models. The present study draws on theory and research from post structuralism, feminism and deconstruction and applies these postmodern strands to show that woman’s identity is not monolithic

Shame: A Major Cause of ‘Language Desertion’
Get PDFSiraiki, the language of millions of people is slowly losing ground to officially recognized and promoted languages, Urdu and English in home domain. A large number of parents living in urban Multan are deserting Siraiki and are not transmitting it to their children. This paper aims to elaborate shame as an important factor in ‘Language Desertion’. Drawing from the theories of shame presented by Brown amp; Levinson (1978), Cooly (1922), Goffman (1967), Elias (1982), Lewis (1971) and Scheff (1994) I have analysed the dynamics of shame giving a fuller account of how the different structures of a society combine to demean Siraiki speakers even in their own estimation. This paper explicitly links the theories of shame and face with the discourses of the Siraikis by citing examples from their home conversations and quoting from their interviews. The phenomenon of code switching is also shown to be a cause or result of shame and/or pride
آبِ حیات میں محولہ نکات الشعرا کے مطالب: تحقیقی و تنقیدی مطالعہ
No full textAzad's Aab-e-Hayat is the first recorded history of Urdu poetry. Besides being a significant literary document, the book is also an interpretation of literary history. There are recounts, which do not measure up to the yardstick of truth. Azad has just not replicated the material extracted from secondary sources: the blend of creative imagination with authentic materials has rendered a literary composition which cannot be classified as authentic (literary) history. Hence, this paper attempts to show how Azad ignores facts and mixes primary and secondary sources while narrating the first recount of Urdu poetry in Nakat-e-Shoraa
