Hashiyon Se Pa-Re - Shakoor, Faisal

. .

Résumé :
Hashiyon Se Pa re (Beyond the Margins) is a collection of poems about people and emotions that exist on the margins of our society and our consciousness. Ever present, but not always visible, these poems evoke them and remind us of eternals values that bind - respecting opinions, celebrating diversity, challenging prevailing views and reflecting on life. Living in the midst of social, political and economic changes and challenges that will shape India for the rest of the century, the poems reflect the convulsions around us. Alternating between the eternal themes of hope, love and nature, Hashiyon Se Pa re does not flinch in taking a hard look at social inequalities, biases and prejudices that are inherent in human nature. Hashiyon Se Pa re, therefore, talks to and about those margins of the society that are trying to fit in. It yearns to create a space safe enough for all - where dissent is as much celebrated as is iconoclasm; as established mores are challenged and diversity welcomed; as a space where we simply, value the questions more than the answers.
