Chitti Sarhad Parr Say – A Movement for Peace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this crucial time, when relations between Pakistan<\/em> and India <\/em>are at a sensitive stage, it has become more important to promote peace, positivity and love<\/em> among the two nations. While the drawing of our borders years ago declared us two separate nations, at heart, a Pakistani and an Indian are the same. They are born of the same homeland and in their hearts, they carry the same love. To explore and promote that love and to reminisce the past, we decided to do something. In collaboration with White Falcon Publishing, India<\/a> , Daastan <\/a>launched a #WriteForPeace letter-writing campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chitti Sarhad Parr Say– a letter-writing campaign which began in January 2020<\/strong>. It aimed at reconciling peace across borders through letter writing which is a long-forgotten art. Writers from both countries were requested to send in their letters for the campaign as part of a contest. This activity was mainly aimed at mending the relation between Pakistan and India<\/em>. Letter writing is a very personal and emotional task that requires both the reader and writer to invest in a piece of paper. By doing so today, thousands of readers and writers got a chance to feel and connect with their counterparts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Love for Peace We Received<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We received an enormous amount of love from both countries in shape of letters that touched us deeply. Daastan<\/a> processed the entries from Pakistan while the submissions from our Indian writers were handled by the good folk at White Falcon<\/a>. Letters from Pakistan were submitted in English and Urdu. From a huge number of submissions, 19 <\/strong>were short-listed. Selecting the letters from a pool of immensely talented Pakistani writers was one of the hardest tasks we had to do<\/em>. Every submission was heart-felt<\/em>, and struck a cord. The entries went beyond our expectations and we got to see some highly well-articulated letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Selected Entries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We decided that the selected entries deserved a book of their own<\/em>. So, in collaboration with White Falcon Publishing, India, Daastan chose some of the best entries to be compiled together in book<\/a> form and be published digitally on Qissa<\/a>–Pakistan’s first self-publishing platform. Qissa provides local writers an opportunity to publish their work and reach readers on a wide scale. Qissa<\/a> has been publishing stories and anthologies since 2016 and aims to reinstate a literary culture in Pakistan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All writers showcased great skill and talent. We were moved by the gush of emotions that each letter brought with itself. Stories of pain, suffering, love and tragedy<\/em> were all equally spell-bounding. A small peek into one of our short-listed letters read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018At the time of departure our hearts were crying. Do you know why we don\u2019t come back? Because things never did get settled. I know you cursed me early the next morning when you came to our house for breakfast and no one was there. I know you wept bitterly when the walls and swings in my courtyard didn\u2019t answer your questions. I know you asked every passerby about us.\u2019<\/em><\/p>-Afraz Jabeen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Chitti Sarhad Parr Say<\/a><\/strong> was an attempt in writing for peace at a time when atrocities between the two countries are increasing every day. The medium of letter writing perfectly complements the campaign as letters provide a very personal account of one\u2019s feelings<\/em> which the reader can easily relate to. The bond between the two countries is above political agendas and must be achieved so through a positive communication. We, at Daastan, promote the ideology of peace and love through words. Help us grow by sharing your stories and becoming a part of the Published writers in Pakistan simply by signing up with us @ Daastan.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
