Abstract
Postmodernist thought is an intentional departure from
modernist approaches that had previously been dominant. The
term "Postmodernism" comes from its rejection of "Modern " scientific mentality of objectivity and progress associated with
enlightenment. One of the main characteristics of postmodern
thinking is that the world is seen as a much more complex and
uncertain place them it actually is. Reality is no longer fixed or
determined. All truth within a postmodern context is relative to
one’s viewpoint or stance. The world is a representation. In other
words, it is a fiction created from a specific point of view only,
and not the final truth. This is an uncomfortable viewpoint for
many people and there is a great deal of misunderstanding about
this idea of postmodernism. Beyond all the theory and academic
discussion, what is postmodern thought and what is its importance for the modern person? Postmodern thought is, in its very
essence, an adventure and an expression of life experience. From
its modernist beginnings, Postmodernism is an attempt to question the world that we see around us and not to take other people’s views as the final truth. Postmodernism puts everything into
question and radically interrogates philosophies, strategies and
world views. There is no such thing as a definition of the postmodern. It is a mood rather than a strict discipline. Postmodernism, with all its complexities, is an attempt to find new and more
truthful versions of the world. In Sindhi literature, there are many
indications of postmodernism but these indications are not
treated trends in literature but as reflection of the objective conditions.
