Power of culture How Abdul Aziz Bar At Law returned to Punjabi through heroic Qissa Heer, narrated by K K Aziz

Power of culture
How Abdul Aziz Bar At Law returned to Punjabi through heroic Qissa Heer, narrated by K K Aziz 
May be, our secularist, modernist as well as Islamist friends will have reservations to read it. May be some orthodox and scientific intellectuals will call it exaggeration as usual yet the power of the piece reproduced in this column will help you to understand power of the culture. Abdul Aziz Bar at law was a successful man, he had learned all worldly manners, he had a grip on Persian and English literature as well but when he hear voice of a malang, reciting HEER, he left all things and then he spend all his remaining 30 years in searching of understanding HEER by finding Oral traditions & different manuscripts regarding HEER. Just read how Abdul Aziz returned to Punjabi. infect he knew little about the Punjabi as he heard some Punjabi sentences by his grandmother & mother in Batala, Bhawalpur and Multan and then he moved to London. Abdul Aziz did not know what is actually pinching him, he was somehow a fan of Persian and English literature yet the moment he hear voice of the faqeer, things started changing. May our youngsters understand the power, strength and continuity of their land then they can hear inner voices too.
