Abstract:

When the civilizations were changed from agricultural to industrialization and several scientific inventions were done on daily basis. By this, human was losing his worth and this created restlessness inside human. The people started giving importance to heart more than mind. People were sick of urban life and they started to think of their simple basic life and they were considering themselves as controlled by machines thence they tried to get rid of such artificial life. Such restlessness of human played pivotal role in human life which at last resulted in romantic movement. This movement left high impact of the overall history of human nature and every kind of human creation like art, literature and culture has been changed miraculously.

Likewise, sindhi literature took deep impact of this movement and sindhi literature get rid of foreign sayings, metaphors as well as fake stories and our own indigenous stories, folk tales as well as novels were written in which there was praise of our own grass, worth of our own flowers and fragrance of our own dust. In such literature, there were not Persian warriors like suhrab and rustam but our sindhi soormas, dodo, sodho and baghal mai. Our songs, sahras, geech, dialogues as well as narratives were decorated by the praise of our local heroes and heroines.

Many of sindhi writers, poets and artists started writing progressive stories, novels and poetry and no doubt they had tendency towards this romantic movement. The division of subcontinent left remarkable impact on soft hearts of writers and a lot of master piece literature was written after this painful incident.

During this period, many romantic poets and writers of Sindhi literature became famous. Among whom the name of Kichan chand bewas comes first, besides him, there are numerous well known writers like Sheikh Ayaz, Tanveer Abbasi, Narayan Shyam, Siraj, Rashid Bhatti, Agha Salim, Manak, Niaz Humayun, Ali Baba, Siraj , Tariq Alam Abaro, Mohan Kalpana, Amar Jalil, Noorul Hudi Shah and many other important names.
