Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The greatest characteristic of the 21st century novel is that today's novel is completely free. Free because it is expressing itself completely freely and naturally, without the restrictions of the reader's demands, the rules made by critics, and any ideology. A big name among these free-thinking writers is Musharraf Alam Zauqi. Zauqi is considered one of the most important novelists in Urdu. He proved his mettle in Urdu fiction through his creations. Instead of following the made-up rules of the novel, he created his own path and fit it into this frame. Musharraf Alam Zauqi had a passion for reading and writing since childhood. He grew up in an academic and literary family. He was not allowed to go out, so he became friends with books and at the age of just eleven he wrote a story "Jalte Bujhete Deep" for the radio and at the age of just seventeen he wrote his first novel "Oqab ki Aankhen". After his education, Zauqi took up the pen and never looked back. The subject of his novels was various topics such as socio-political issues, human life, life's preoccupations, corruption, political maneuvering, partition, women's issues, generation gap, globalization, etc. The great thing about Zauqi is that he has never repeated himself. Rather, he has appeared before us with a new topic every time and has forced the reader to think through his writings. This article is written about his novel "Poky Maan ki Dunya".
