Similarity of Political Strife in Heaney and Faiz

This study aims at exploring the element of political strain/Strife in the poems of Seamus Heaney and Faiz Ahmed Faiz in the light of post-colonial studies swiveling round Spivak¿s Subaltern theory. Both poets become a forceful voice of subalterns belonging to lower classes and the social groups who are at the margins of society. These universally acknowledged poets belong to two different continents, yet they have startling unity of political themes in their poetry.
