Abstract
Founded by the poet André Breton in Paris in 1924, Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement. It proposed that the Enlightenment the influential 17th- and 18th-century intellectual movement that championed reason and individualism—had suppressed the superior qualities of the irrational, unconscious mind. Surrealism’s goal was to liberate thought, language, and human experience from the oppressive boundaries of rationalism. With this outlook, the article aims at studying the surrealism movement in broader linguistic perspective and also tries to count its impacts on Saraiki Literature. The extensive study of the said literatures suggest that the international literary critical movement has far lesser impacts on these literatures. literature persue the truth beyond the existing realities which comes on the surface with crude bitterness; therefore, this movement ignites the usage of poetic exageration and certain fixed but juxtapository symbols to define the presented realities. The research concluded that, while Realism and Modernism have obvious and ample impacts on Saraiki Literature, yet Surrealism does not carry such vital impacts on this literature.
