Urdu Ki Lokpriya Kahaniyan

Three trends are prominent in Urdu fiction of this period. The most significant trend was the realist approach of Premchand and his imitators, such as Sudarshan, Ali Abbas Hussaini, Azam Karevi, and Upendranath Ashk. They observed the changing conditions of social life in India. They gave prominence to villages and the problems of the countryside in their stories. Their hearts were moved by the suffering and pain of the common man, and they portrayed their life circumstances with such emotional intensity that they evoked sympathy and empathy in the reader.Another notable trend of that time was the romantic and sentimental interpretation of life. This was represented by Sajjad Haider Yaldram, Niaz Fatehpuri, and Majnun Gorakhpuri. Their stories are more imaginative than realistic. Their fiction is full of romantic ideas and concepts. They placed great importance on human emotional relationships, especially love relationships.They sought to free these relationships from the constraints of social conventions and outdated moral principles and rules. The third trend is those who present the domestic problems of the Muslim middle class from a reformist perspective. Prominent among these are Nazir Ahmed, Sultan Haider Josh, Rashidul Khairi, and Azim Beg Chughtai, who draw on their own observations and experiences. They have made Muslim society the subject of their imaginations in various ways.
