Abstract

Jamal Abro was born on May 02, 1924 and died on June 30, 2004. He published his seminal story collection "Pashoo Pasha," which is widely regarded as setting the standard for modern Sindhi short fiction literature. Jamal has authored a total of 17 works of fiction, which are regarded as trajectory due to his grasp of the language, composition, and literary prowess.

Jamal established a unique style of Sindhi storytelling, which influenced the new generation of Sindhi story writers. Following Jamal's undeniable spell on fiction writing, the entirety of Sindhi literary production has been transformed into stories that beautifully reflect the lives of Sindhi Society. None of Jamal's stories appear to be supernatural or magical; rather, each story depicts the true colour of human life. Jamal Abro's stories such as 'Peerani', 'Moonh Kari', 'Khamesy Jo Coat', 'Pashoo Pasha', 'Seendh', and 'Shah Jo Phar', among others, accurately depict the complexities of Sindhi society. Due to the contextual and linguistic richness of these stories, they can be considered seminal and exemplary works of Sindhi fiction literature. These stories epitomize many of our society's outmoded rituals as a result of Jamal's experience and observation of the unpleasant conditions in Sindhi society. His depictions of such circumstances draw readers into his fictional characters and instil a sense of emotion that would otherwise make Sindhi society's intricacies difficult to comprehend. It was his gift for presentation and artistic use of the language that brought even the deadest and least discussed characters to life. Although his stories are short, but they are densely packed with vivid meaning and provide a sense of society as a whole. Jamal's stories are based on our society's reality and present a revolutionary concept of social change. Jamal Abro weaves together all of his characteristics and details with realism, creatively presenting many of the society's bitter facts, tragedies, and complications.
