ادبی جوڑوں میں ایک کم مذکور جوڑی: پریم چند اور شیو رانی
No full textThose writers having a dream of social change through their writings sometimes prefer to make a comrade in pen a companion of life. In Urdu literature such couples got a fame (Sajjad Zaheer and Razia, Faiz and Alyess, Imtiaz Taj and Hijab, Ashfaq and Bano) whereas some underwent ordeals and miseries (Jaan Nisar and Safia,Kishwar and Yousuf,John Elia and Zahida) but one glaring example of a golden couple of Prem Chand and Shiva Rani has been ignored in Urdu research and criticism. In fact this article compensates such loss. Shiva Rani was a child widow who was debarred for second marriage and Prem Chand himself was not allowed to contract second marriage in the presence of first wife. Their marriage proved both of them as "Rebels" of religious customs but real rebel of tradition was father of Shiva Rani, who gave an advertisement in a paper that he intended to find a match for his daughter who is child widow
اردو ناول میں جنوبی پنجاب کی معاشرت کی عکاسی
No full textThe tradition of urdu novel is very old. Urdu novelists have been taking interest in culture of South Punjab since the dawn of twentieth century. This aspect of Urdu novel was almost neglected by researchers. I discuss it by examining writing of numerous urdu novelist i.e. Lala Doulat Roy, Quratulain Haider, Shoukat Sidiquei, Syed Shabir Hussain, Bano Qudsia, Imran Iqbal and Mustansar Hussain Tarar. Old urdu novelist Lala Doulat Roy, in "Mujhey Zaror Parrho", criticizes some old customs and conventions that are exploiting inhabitants of South Punjab. Mysticism is one of basic elements in early Urdu novelists. I shed light on narration of rites and religious activities on several tombs of Muslim saints in Multan and Uch Shareef. People enthusiastically participate in festival of Urs on tombs. In "Seeta Hirn", famous novelist Quratul Ain Haider describes the ways of living of people of Bahawalpur desert and she is highly critical of their customs. Shoukat Sidiquei becomes most important novelist in context of my research. The third volume of novel "Jangloos" deals with feudal culture of Siraiki region. He effectively pointes out the crualties of feudals in south punjab. I argue that Imran Iqbal and Syed Shabir Hussain are in agreement with Shoukat Sidiquei. They are critical of tradition Peer Parassti to improve social conditions in South Punjab. Mustansar Hussain Tarar writes about Siraiki people living on the bank of Sindh river. He points out moral corruption in the families of these fishermen. I opine, in this paper, that all urdu novelists writing about South punjab can be divided into two groups. One group, Quratul Ain Haider, Mustansar Hussain Tara, Bano Qudsia, negatively depicts culture of South Punjab and they talk about moral weaknesses and social ills of South Punjab. Second group, Shoukat Sidiquei, Imran Iqbal, Syed Shabir Hussain, has been showing positive side of South Punjab in their novels. They are sympathetic to Siraiki people and their criticism is intended to improve living conditions of Siraiki people.

بیسویں صدی کی باغی مصنفہ
No full textWhether it is the classical heritage of literature or the contemporary, both have been contributing in lime lighting the deleterious features of the society, rather efforts were of a society which is devoid of all toxics. Commenting on females as creatures of poor or no caliber is quite easy; hence their contributive services to the society cannot be ignored altogether. Nazar-e-Sajjad Haider is one of many female writers who have struggled for the rights of females in a male oriented society. She wrote her first novel in 1911 when she was hardly fifteen or sixteen years old. She wrote many novels, short stories and essays and her manuscripts have the core objective of education for the girls, allowing them for their right to marry of their choice and providing all the rights that are salient features of a civilized society. She may be symbolized as a great feminist of her time. She was lady with a high educational profile, a liberal mind but with a moderate temperament, she was an advocate of the women rights within a certain curriculum of women identity. These were the personalities who voiced their concerns in literature which has effects in their time period. These concerns of violation and promotions of women rights has no end. It is still the need that these concerns may be raised now on a wider horizon, as the malpractices have also taken new turns. Pens are to flow to curb these activities.

No full textJohn B. Gilchrist was very important grammarian of Urdu language in the late 18th century. He, after arrival in India, learnt Urdu and other vernacular languages here. He compiled English to Urdu dictionary and Urdu (Hindoostanee) grammar to preserve the grammatical rules and vocabulary of Urdu language from common and literary circles.
