Abstract

"Jhok Siyal" is an Urdu novel written by Syed Shabbir Hussain Shah. It describes how the religious community is engaged in robbing people of weak faith by promoting superstitions under the guise of Sharia and Tariqat. In this, the pharaohism of the feudal class has been exposed in the daily life of Punjab. In their view, the status of poor farmers and farmers is no more than insects. Thanks to their landlords, the monks in the monasteries, and their nexus, they take advantage of these poor and downtrodden people. They kidnapped their poor and forced women through their jobs to keep them busy. Such earthly gods, thanks to their bullying rigging, trample the bodies of these starving, naked bodies under their feet to reach the halls of power and protect their personal and imperial ambitions. In this novel, those detestable characters deviating from social values are identified who are engaged in robbing the simple and oppressed people of Dahi. In it, the police station, patwar culture, and oppression of other government officials have been described in great detail.
