Sahar Yab Adabi Forum’s Chairperson and renowned poetess Professor Shaista Sahar, presenting a critical review of the modern literary landscape, has said that the relationship between literature and contemporary issues has itself become a “question mark.” The Chairperson of Saharyab Adabi Forum made these impactful remarks during her presidential address at the organization’s meeting held on Sunday.

Professor Sahar clarified that we are passing through a difficult era where discussing literary works and their issues is becoming increasingly difficult. She emphasized the historical importance of knowledge and creative writing, saying that in every society, these have traditionally led the way, and public sentiments follow their direction.

The renowned poetess further added that movements that succeed in gaining the support of a society’s writers and poets often become popular with remarkable speed, which highlights the influential role of literary figures.

The meeting also concluded with the important decision that an introductory ceremony for Saharyab Adabi Forum will be held soon. It was stated that the formal date for this event will be announced to the public very soon.
