ناول ”گراں“ پنجابی ثقافت کے تناظر میں ایک مطالعہ

Abstract

Tahira Iqbal is a prominent and respected name in Urdu fiction who in a short period of time has achieved a position through her stories that very few writers have access to. Today she is recognized as a knowledgeable, sensitive storyteller who is aware of the realities of her era. He has made the urban environment as well as the rural society the subject in his writings very carefully and has presented it in such a realistic manner that the atmosphere of the villages of Punjab is fully revealed to the reader. She is not only familiar with the rural society, the customs and psychological attitudes of the people there, but also creates an influential style by combining the rural dialect and accent with the elegance of Urdu. In his novels, he has eloquently described the culture of rural Punjab, its changing social and economic realities and the details of daily life there. This is the reason why his writings reflect the simplicity, traditions and changes of village life with great truth. "Garan" is his second novel published in 2019 by Jhelum Book Corner. The novel brings out the deep colors of Pothohari and Punjabi culture and also highlights the different roles and experiences of women. Tahira Iqbal's writings contain true, spontaneous and factual stories of rural society, and this truth is the real strength of her fiction.
