EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF LITERATURE AND POLITICS: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
Literature, Politics, Resistance, Identity, South AsiaAbstract
The intersection of literature and politics has been a subject of significant scholarly attention, particularly in post-colonial contexts where both art and governance play integral roles in shaping national identities. This article explores how literature not only reflects but also influences political ideologies, movements, and transformations across different historical epochs. By examining a range of literary works from South Asia, particularly Pakistan, this study highlights how writers have used literature as a form of political commentary, resistance, and identity formation. This exploration brings forth the evolving relationship between literature and political discourse, from colonial resistance to post-independence national struggles, and the continuing relevance of literature in contemporary political debates.
