ANALYSIS OF FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE IN SIRAIKI POETRY

Abstract

This article explores the emergence of feminist themes in contemporary Siraiki poetry, highlighting its role as a powerful platform for advocating women's rights and addressing social injustices. Through an examination of the works of notable poets such as Nazir Faiz Magi, Sabahat Urooj, and others, the article reveals how poetry articulates the struggles, aspirations, and resilience of women in a patriarchal society. It emphasizes the importance of presenting women's issues from a feminine perspective and critiques harmful cultural practices such as karo-kari and honor killing. By analysing the contributions of both male and female poets, the article underscores the transformative potential of Siraiki literature in fostering social change and promoting gender equality. Ultimately, it argues that modern Siraiki poetry serves not only as a reflection of societal challenges but also as a catalyst for dialogue and action toward a more just and equitable future for women.
