“mentioning fact is not being ethnic my dear” these are your words?

Its not fact that for all Sindhis poetry of Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah and Sultan Bahoo is useless because they don’t understand Punjabi. If a person can understand can understand only 20% of Shah Latif’s poetry in Sindhi, he can understand Punjabi Sufi poetry to a great extent. Both languages got huge common vocabulary. One just need to have a little grip of one language to understand the other language.

tooti phooti Punajbi te main vi bol leya haan:D

So is about urdu poetry, there is nothing special with punjabi and sindhi poetry

Its not about language, its about topics of poetry. As I already asked, bring me Urdu poetry that talks of rural issues or touch the thought of people living in those areas. Todate ’ Aj kala joda paa sadi farmesh te’ get more audience in rural Pakistan then ‘Bol ke lab azad hai tere’. The problem is again not with the langauge, obviously Faiz’s kalam got depth and before his poetry, poetry like ‘aj kala joRa pa’ is nothing more than a timepass.

what a contradiction. They condemn social evils promoted by religion and they have never been anti religion… think about it aga

They talked against casteism, social inequalities, looters on the name of religion which was construed against religion.

Which religion promotes looters and castetism (Syed / Non Syed, etc), it was the prevalent interpretation of religion against which Sufis raised their voice.
