An Analysis of Progressivism in Babo Abdul Rehman Kurd’s Brahui Poetry

Abstract

This research article describes the trend and tendency of progressivism in Brahui poetry of Babo Abdul Rahman Kurd and the sources through which the impacts of progressive thoughts took place in his poetry. The poet stands tall holding a great position in Brahui literature being one of the poets who have introduced several trends and thoughts in their poetic pieces to change the direction of Brahui poetry. Although he has been basically known as an epic poet, progressivism and many other poetic thoughts can also be found in his Brahui poetry. This article discusses how the trend and tendency of progressivism have both consciously and unconsciously found place in his poetry through different ways. The first one was the depiction of deplorable condition of his contemporary nation which, during his poetic period, was socially, politically and economically was facing miserable conditions. Such prevailing miserable conditions of his society seem to have influenced him to incorporate progressive thoughts in his poetry. The second one was the impacts of Marxism and the Progressive Movement of Urdu literature which also seems to have affected him to include the progressive thoughts in his poetry. The last one which brought and strengthened the progressive thoughts in his poetry was "Lat Khana", a political and literary progressive Movement in Balochistan, while Babo Abdul Rahman Kurd was also very closed attached to the movement.
