Title
Politics of Ethnicity and the Quest for New Province in Punjab: An Analytical Study of Siraiki Movement
Author(s)
Muhammad Irfan
Abstract
The Saraiki movement in the Punjab region of Pakistan embodies a vibrant and intricate interaction of ethnicity, identity, and politics, advocating for the establishment of a new province called Saraikistan. This analytical exploration probes into the diverse politics surrounding ethnicity, investigating how the Saraiki-speaking community has maneuvered through historical marginalization, economic disparities, and cultural obliteration in their pursuit of a distinct administrative territory. Grounded in a profound linguistic and cultural legacy, the movement confronts the supremacy of Punjabi-speaking elites and aims to establish a domain where the unique identity of the Saraiki populace can flourish.

Description
The Saraiki movement in the Punjab region of Pakistan embodies a vibrant and intricate interaction of ethnicity, identity, and politics, advocating for the establishment of a new province called Saraikistan. This analytical exploration probes into the diverse politics surrounding ethnicity, investigating how the Saraiki-speaking community has maneuvered through historical marginalization, economic disparities, and cultural obliteration in their pursuit of a distinct administrative territory. Grounded in a profound linguistic and cultural legacy, the movement confronts the supremacy of Punjabi-speaking elites and aims to establish a domain where the unique identity of the Saraiki populace can flourish. The study scrutinizes the socio-political foundations of the demand, the significance of language and culture in shaping the political awareness of the region, and the economic inequalities that drive the pursuit of autonomy.
