The Exploitative Class in Modern Punjabi Poetry

Abstract

Society has historically been characterized by a conflict between two classes: the  bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The bourgeois class comprises capitalists, feudal  landlords, and other exploiters of the poor, who unjustly appropriate wealth  through oppression and coercion. Consequently, revolutionary movements arise  among the underprivileged classes, prompting them to raise their voices in pursuit 
of their rights. This struggle gives rise to social tension and discord between the  two groups. The present study examines the sentiments expressed by the masses  against the oppression of the exploitative class, as reflected in the perspectives of  various poets.
