Title زبان اور سماج: مستنصر حسین تارڑ کے ناول "قلعہ جنگی" میں سیاسی کلامیے کا تنقیدی جائزہ

Author(s) Muhammad Irfan

Abstract Every society and its civilization are shaped by language. In today's world, strong powers utilize language as a tool to subjugate weak states. In this context, numerous discourses are emerging, through which any community can achieve the desired improvements. Pakistan and Afghanistan continued to exist in distinct discourses that had been constructed through language at the end of the Russia-US cold war. These discourses, which the international community labeled as terrorism at times and jihad at others, had a profound impact on Pakistani and Afghani society. In Jihadi discourse, such literature is published in the name of Islam even though it has nothing to do with Islam, whereas literature that combines Islam and terrorism on false pretenses is produced after the international community's interests have been changed. In this Thesis, the problem has been examined in the context of Mustansar Hussain Tarar’s novel “Qila Jangi”. The fundamental discussions surrounding discourse have been covered in detail in the first chapter of this study, which also includes discourse analysis by Michael Fuko and theory-critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairman. The second chapter critically examines how Jihadi literature has affected Pakistani and Afghani society. In the third chapter post, 9/11 discourse related to terrorism has been critically analyzed in the context of the “Qila Jangi” novel by Mustansar Hussain Tarar other than “Qila Jangi’’. Conclusions, results, and recommendations are included in the last chapter.
