A commemorative lecture programmed by Khan Badosh Writers Cafe in connection with the 281st Urs of Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai titled “Poet against power and authority”.
Eminent writer and intellectual Sindh Taj Joyi said that Bhitai Sindh was the great poet who instead of getting the pleasure of the rulers of his time, supported the anti-establishment forces of that time.
In his lecture, Joyo called Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhori and the Mughal rulers as the establishment of Sindh and shed a detailed light on Shah’s resistance against them. He said that Shah Latif has written symbolic poetry on the incident of Jhok in many magazines such as Kapaiti, Kahori, Suni and Kalyan.
Sundus said that the genius of the world is poetry and symbolism, which is an important place.
Many of Shah Sahib’s poems and symbolic poetry related to the incident of this situation have been given details and Sir Ramkali Maan gave examples
After the lecture, he answered the questions of Dr. Hameed Soomri, Noor Hussain Kalhori, Syed Zwar Naqvi, Yusuf Joy, Aziz Setai in detail.
