Dr Alia Imam book launched ‘Ikeesvein Sadi Mein Science Aur Adab — Tazad Kahan?’ (Science and Literature in the 21st Century — Where’s the Contradiction?),

KARACHI: A book ‘Ikeesvein Sadi Mein Science Aur Adab — Tazad Kahan?’ (Science and Literature in the 21st Century — Where’s the Contradiction?), by Dr Alia Imam, was recently launched at the Defence Central Library.

In the book, Dr Imam tries to prove, quite convincingly, the relevance of some great Urdu poets and writers to contemporary times to dispel the notion that literature and science are on any kind of a collision path. In the preface, she develops a case for Marxist ideology and tells the reader about the essence of dialectic materialism and its significance vis-à-vis society and history. After that she selects a group of renowned and classical Urdu poets and writers and explains to the reader how they view life and why their views haven’t become extraneous.
