The women showed how they wrote from experience and how they made their poems more authentic and inspirational because writing in a society where generally your voice is suppressed, is an ordeal and a battle on its own, but that’s what makes them original. Nothing was left alien to the discussion. No subject was left unturned, be it alcohol, love or even the anatomy.
They decided to break the conventions of entering the literary field. The fact that these women broke boundaries and decided to write is an act of bravery itself. The discussion brought light to the fact that women weren’t scarce in the field of Sindhi literature but the fact that the male dominant society won’t let female poets thrive, or even express themselves. This made the discussion interesting because we saw the perspective of women trying to make their marks in a language that generally seems to be sleeping in terms of making progress in the world of poetry. Though there were a number of discussions and sessions on poetry but what stood out with this session was the fact that the panel consisted of women. Sindhi writer and professor Amar Sindhu moderated the session and the two speakers invited were female Sindhi poets, Rubina Abro and Rukhsana Preet. The New Voices in Sindhi Poetry session on the second day of the fifth Karachi Literature Festival was welcomed mostly by Sindhis and people who were generally interested in the literary dialect.
