Abstract
Different literary and social movements have changed the lives of
many. Literature is reflection of society and we can benefit from literature to
bring social, political and moral awareness among the masses. Sir Syed
Ahmad Khan and his fellows did a wonderful job to change Indian society
through Sir Syed Movement. Sir Syed Movement made unforgettable marks on
literature and lives of the people in the sub-continent especially Muslims.
Their poems and fiction brought a revolution and changed the thinking
patterns of young people. A pessimistic and hopeless society of 1857 moved in
a positive and hopeful direction. In this paper, we are highlighting the
significant points of Sir Syed Movement and how this movement was able to
bring a positive change in the society. The thesis of this article is that
literature has played a vital role in moving societies in a positive direction
and it is possible to use Urdu fiction for making desired changes in our
challenged-dominating society. Literature has the power to clearly raise
social and moral issues and we should use this power in our classrooms and
elsewhere to face social, political and moral challenges prevailing in our
society.
