This panel will explore the rich tapestry of Pakistani literature, tracing its evolution from the post-Partition era to contemporary times. Panelists will discuss how writers, poets, and storytellers have shaped and reflected Pakistan's social, political, and cultural landscapes through their work. From the profound poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz to the modern narratives of Mohsin Hamid and Kamila Shamsie, this session will delve into themes of identity, resistance, migration, and the complexities of belonging.

Join us as we examine the intersection of history and literature, the role of Urdu and regional languages, and the emerging voices that are redefining Pakistani literature on a global stage. This panel promises to celebrate the diversity and resilience of Pakistan’s literary tradition while fostering meaningful discussions on its future trajectory.
