Abstract

Tahira Iqbal is included among the prominent writers of the contemporary era. She is famous as a well-established novelist. Although, till date, her novel "Neeli Bar" has been published, and this novel brought her to the highest level of reputation, “Neeli Bar" is a sizeable novel that discusses and indicates different political, socio-economic, religious, and cultural problems of society. It seems that the writer focused on a specific area of Neeli Bar's civilization, culture, politics, and society, but in fact, the novel displays Pakistani civilization and culture. The whole story of this novel revolves around the lives of its characters, delving into their experiences, relationships, and emotional journeys. As we know, Punjab is the land of five rivers as well as five "bars.". Before the advent of the canal system, a mostly uninhabited area of Punjab was called "Bar”, which literally means forest. Dr. Tahira Iqbal's novel "Neeli Bar" published in 2017. By reading this article, we will learn how the inhabitants of this region used to survive before the colonial system, especially from a socio-cultural perspective.
