During it, Pir Pagara was hanged and no one even knows where his grave is. With the help of this act, the entire tribe was declared criminal. The aim was to suppress the Hurs who the British couldn’t control. In 1898, an act was passed in Sindh, called the Criminal Tribes Act of India.

I’d like to go 16 years before the start of the First World War, to 1898. Let’s start with some local examples that are very obvious. Wusatullah Khan: I am more interested in what was intentionally not written about, even when all the information was available. I’d like to invite Wusatullah to start the conversation. We will try to look at regional as well as international events in the last 100 years and their impact on Urdu literature. But we will start our discussion from 1914 and look at poetry and prose, fiction as well as non-fiction, including creative non-fiction, such as autobiographies and memoirs. Elegies and stories were written, as well as non-fiction. We have memoirs of people who were sent to Kala Pani, for instance.

However, it is important to note that there is also a lot of literature about 1857’s war of independence and that a lot happened between 18.

Harris Khalique: Let’s start the conversation from 1914 as the world is marking 100 years to the start of World War I this year. FOLLOWING ARE THE EDITED EXCERPTS FROM THEIR DISCUSSION, TRANSLATED FROM URDU. KISHWAR NAHEED, AFZAL AHMED SYED, SATYAPAL ANAND, WUSATULLAH KHAN AND HARRIS KHALIQUE GOT TOGETHER TO DISCUSS HOW URDU LITERATURE HAS WRITTEN ABOUT WARS AND CONFLICTS, WITHIN THE SUBCONTINENT AS WELL AS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
