The voice for the rights of the Peasants and Labourers in the Poetry of Ibrahim Munshi: A Research Analysis
Abstract
Ibrahim Munshi (1934-2003) was one of the great Nationalist and
progressive poets of the Sindh. In his Poetry he has characterized
the rights of the poor people; specially laborers, growers and the
farmers. In his poetry, he has used the Laari accent of the Sindhi
Language. Besides; he has motivated the common people to raise
powerful voice against the social injustice and discrimination. He was
not only the poet but he practically struggled a lot for the betterment
of common people especially for the farmers and growers of the
Sindh. Due to his active role against the establishment of his time; he
was sent to the jail for 42 months.
His poetry created a great courage and confidence among the
downtrodden masses. His poetry raised the love for the motherland
among the youngsters. He was one of the most celebrated national
poets of the Sindh. His poetry was sung by many famous singers like
Abida Parveen, Sarmad Sindhi, Sanam Marvi, Ghulam Ali Sandeelo
and others. Thus, his poetry was wide spread in the Sindh.
In this research paper, it has been tried to focus on his poetry,
especially such verses which are written by him for the farmers, the
labors and for the growers. As he was a strong voice of the
downtrodden class, so in this article I have discussed his poetry in
this aspect too. It has also been focused on his Laari accent of Sindhi
Language as well as his art of poetry.
