AFGHANISTAN POETRY OF RESISTANCE AND PARTAW NADIRI'S WORK

Abstract

This article talks about the origins of resistance poetry in Afghanistan, the stages of its development, the poets belonging to this literature, and examples of their work. Historical, sociological and hermeneutic methods were used to illuminate the topic. Resistance literature, especially poetry, is widely used not only in Dari-Persian literature but also in world literature. This poetry is used in world literature as a result of people's struggle against a repressive system and occupation, as well as the war for freedom. This reality became evident in Afghan literature after the invasion of the country by the Soviet Union, as well as during the reign of the Mujahideen and Taliban. Due to many years of unrest, political, socio-cultural crisis, the country's population was scattered in different parts of the world. Especially the intelligentsia was forced to emigrate to different countries for free creativity and a peaceful life. From this perspective, we observe the development of Afghan resistance literature in two different aspects: inside the country and outside it. Whether within the country or outside, poets like Khalilullah Khalili, Abdurrahman Paivok, Wasif Bokhtari, Partav Nadiri, Khalida Furug, Kozim Kozimi can be listed among the writers who contributed greatly to the creation of Afghan resistance literature. These poets used the pen as an arrow and spoke out against war, unrest and oppression. They created poetry and prose in the name of peace, freedom, justice and enlightenment in the country. Poems belonging to the literature of resistance are distinguished by their significance both in content and in form. Based on the analysis of such poems, the article to some extent reveals the image of the literature of the Afghan resistance.
