A writer, belongs to any region of world, conscientiously observes the changing situation around him and describes it through his thoughts. His writings beautifully amalgamate reality and surrealism. Gabriel García Márquez (Born March 6, 1927 and Died April 17, 2014)reflected profoundly on the political, social life and culture of Latin America (Colombia) in his works. The realities portrayed in his writings bear an incredibly striking resemblance to our region. Renowned Urdu literature authors have taken the contemporary situation as a subject, signifying that a writer, no matter which part of the world they belong to, or what language they speak, raises their voice in righteousness against the injustices and tyrannical forces of their region and era. Their voice is often laden with pain, and this creative journey continues and sustains, always illuminating the hope of a bright morning, perpetually awakening the spirit of endeavour and struggle.
