How different is Pakistan’s culture from that of
India? Exploring various aspects of the arts, literature and heritage
of Pakistan, Raza Rumi argues that culture in Pakistan is not
particularly unique to the nation, but rather a part of the cultural
identities shared by South Asians. From the songs of Kabir and the
ballads of Bulleh Shah to the cult of the feminine in the Sindh region,
Rumi takes a kaleidoscopic view of the deep-set cultural mores that tie
India and Pakistan together. Going further, he examines aspects of the
visual arts, poetry, music and literature of Pakistan that impact global
cultural narratives. Finally, he introduces readers to contemporary
Pakistani writers and artists and the milieu in which they express their
creativity, giving us a fascinating glimpse into cultural productions
in Pakistan today. Being Pakistani is a riveting account of artistic
traditions and their significance in present-day Pakistan, presenting an
alternative view of the country, beyond the usual headlines that focus
on political instability and terrorism.
