Abstract

This article investigates into Kaiser Haq’s poetic masterpiece, “Ode on the Lungi”, exploring its theoretical underpinnings and critical insights. The study employs a multidimensional approach, integrating postcolonial theories, literary analysis, and socio-cultural inquiry to unravel the symbolic significance of the lungi as a representation of subaltern voices. Haq strategically uses the lungi to challenge power imbalances, resist sartorial hegemony, and advocate for sartorial equality in the face of globalization. The research method includes qualitative analysis, theoretical engagement, and empirical evidence, aligning with postcolonial scholars such as Gramsci and Guha. The article underscores the poem’s role in breaking down divisive dichotomies and promoting democratic ideals. Through theoretical insights and close textual analysis, the study explores how the lungi, as a symbol of the underclass, resists aggressive modernism, demanding equal standing in the postcolonial and globalized reality. The poet’s call for “sartorial equality” transcends fashion, becoming a rallying cry for broader societal equality and recognition of marginalized voices. The research concludes by positioning Haq’s “Ode on the Lungi” as a powerful articulation of the subaltern voice within the complexities of postcolonial discourse.

Abstract

Education plays an important role in shaping human character and the selection of appropriate learning materials significantly contributes to students’ personal and moral development. This study attempts to explore the integration of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, focusing on its potential to foster moral literacy through ethical sensitivity, logical reasoning, and moral imagination. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology and drawing on Nancy Tuana’s framework of Moral Literacy, the research seeks to examine how the novel’s themes can contribute to the moral growth of the junior high school students. The findings reveal how the ethical sensitivity is conveyed through its themes of brotherhood and acts of heroism, while moral reasoning is exemplified by the emphasis on gratitude and the consequences of revenge. Additionally, the moral imagination is demonstrated through camaraderie and self-preservation efforts. Therefore, the study concludes that The Jungle Book offers valuable material for promoting moral literacy, making it a rich pedagogical resource in EFL contexts. Besides, it emphasizes the dual role of literature in both enhancing language skills and promoting moral values, thereby offering a holistic approach to education that nurtures both linguistic competence and ethical development of the young learners.
