Punjabi is
the official language of the Indian state of Punjab and state
capital Chandigarh. It is one of the official second language of
the states of Delhi and Haryana. ‘Punjabi’ is the predominant
language in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Punjabi is also
spoken as a minority language in several other countries where
‘Punjabis’ have migrated in large numbers such as United States of
America, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia.
Scholars and even
common public complaining about the fear of extinction of Punjabi
language with time. Despite being mother tongue of millions of
people, it is being neglected by her sons and daughters. This fact
remaining prominent, there are number of scholars and great
personalities of literary field who continue their efforts for the
upliftment of ‘Punjabi’.
It is one side of the
coin. Punjabi music whether folk or pop and Punjabi dance is
becoming immensely popular worldwide. Bollywood dances to the tune
of Punjabi bhangra and getting appreciation from all over the
world. Globalization, immigration and media have contributed to
this emerging trend. Punjabis migrated to foreign land seems to be
more conscious about their culture and language.
This is all about
music and dance, but if we talk about Punjabi literature in this
fast and competitive era, people have no time to read and
therefore, it is being neglected. Only the people related to
literary field are interested in it. Moreover there seems to be
scarcity of good high quality literature. People are being offered
cheap and vulgar writings. The vulgarity distracts readers from
real track and parents avoid presenting such writings and material
to their children.
The need of the hour is to provide top quality content to the
readers which must fulfill their literary needs and help them
build their opinions. |
