Abstract
Punjab has an important role in the history of the world literature and civilization. The first book that came down to us was in the form of the Vedas, written in the great region of Punjab. Apart from this, the world's first grammar has also been given by "Panini" in the form of "Ashtadhyayi" in this region and has made a significant addition to literature in the world. As far as the stories are concerned, it is mentioned in Hindu Mythology which is related to the historical, religious and philosophical aspects of the region. In this regard, the story of Lord Ram and Sita can be said to be the most legendary of the stories. In the 18th century, the great masterpiece of Punjab was "Heer Waris Shah", which has been assimilated into the culture of Punjab in such a way that we talk about BC or Nath Jogi's Sur, Ley and Taal mentioned in "Heer Waris Shah'' as prominent features. Waris Shah described the social, economic and religious decline of the 18th century through "Heer", Perhaps no other literature in the world can describe it in that prolific way. That peculiar culture is still present in our society in one way or another. We have to think that how an ideal society can be created where our future generations will be enjoying a prosperous environment and freedom of expression along with religious harmony and tolerance leading to the co-existence among the all segments of the society.
