But we don’t see much Punjabi literature being published after Independence compared to other regional languages literature. They have to develop their alphabets to create new literature. Neither Sindhis can rely on only ‘Shah jo Risalo’ nor Punjabi on ‘Heer Waris Shah’, when we talk about latest trends in literature.

That’s the biggest challenge facing Punjabi language in Pakistan and this has been a problem long before independence. Punjabi is not going to die bcoz there are not enough people speaking it, its the tenth most widely spoken language but its problem is lack of new literature. Punjabis have not been trained to do any literary work in Punjabi, urdu comes as more natural way of writing literature to them.
