ادب اور جرمیات: اردو ناول میں جرمیات کے اسباب و محرکات کا تحقیقی وتنقیدی مطالعہ The topic of my Ph.D. thesis is literature and crimes. It is a critical analysis of motivation and causes for crimes in Urdu Novel. Urdu Novels have also depicted crimes being done in the society similar to English Novels. This study investigates urdu crime novel, a genre in which the writers expose the crime of different characters who play a detrimental role in a society. It also studies the relation between novel and crime and how the selected writers define the social, moral, political, economic and war crimes. This research spans over a period of thirty years in the field of urdu crime fiction and investigates novel from 1987 till 2020. Novels like Janglous-1987, Qaid-1989 and Ghulam Bagh-2006 expose the social crimes that crush our social development. In the Novels Al-Asifa-2006, Dhani Bukhsh Kay Baitay-2008 and Neeli Bar-2017, writers criticise the fudal systems as an economic disease. Novels Kanjri Ka Pull-2006, Nurak-2007, and Habs-2013 show that the moral crimes are dangerous for our society. Novel Killa Jangi-2002 and Char Darwesh Aik Kachwa-2008, Burf-2013 and Judge Sahib-2019 is about the terrorism and war crimes that are against our National development. Using the theoretical lenses about illiteracy and poverty by theorists, Lloyed Ohlin and Richard Cloward, this research investigates the repercussions of criminal behaviour. This study attempts to foreground the importance of bringing awareness about socio-economic and moral crimes through literary writings. Urdu Fiction writers always exposes the original condition of society like crime and blood sheds, street crimes and white Collar crimes. xiii Among many other findings, this study shows that white collar crimes under political patronage has crippled the economy of Pakistan. My suggestions in short stories of our fiction writers focus the crime in our society. The crimes that our Urdu fiction writers have portrayed can also be the subject of a PhD.

اردو ڈراما اور معاشرتی حقائق :منتخب ٹی وی ڈراموں میں خواجہ سراؤں کی زندگی کی عکاسی This research delves into the complex social, economic, and psychological challenges faced by the transgender community, with a particular focus on the systemic discrimination they encounter based on their gender identity. The study examines the fundamental rights that are often denied to transgender individuals, which perpetuates their marginalization in society. Through an analysis of selected dramas, the research sheds light on the stereotypical perceptions, gender discrimination, and societal exclusion that transgender people face. These dramas serve as a lens to understand the multifaceted issues within the transgender community, ranging from access to education and employment to the right to a dignified existence. The study highlights the discrepancy between the on-screen portrayal of these issues and the harsh realities faced by transgender individuals in real life. Key areas of focus include the transgender community's struggle for recognition and acceptance in society, the challenges they face in securing education and employment, and their experiences of verbal and physical abuse. The research also explores the deep-rooted stigma and discrimination that hinder their access to basic rights, such as housing and healthcare, which further exacerbates their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse. By drawing on Émile Durkheim’s theory of social facts, the research contextualizes the societal attitudes and behaviors that contribute to the continued marginalization of transgender individuals. The findings suggest that the lack of recognition and protection of their rights not only leads to social and economic exclusion but also contributes to severe psychological distress, manifesting in anxiety, confusion, and in extreme cases, self-harm or suicide. Ultimately, the study calls for a more compassionate and inclusive approach towards the transgender community, advocating for systemic changes that ensure their rights and dignity are upheld in all aspects of life. It emphasizes the need for greater awareness, education, and legal reforms to address the inequalities faced by transgender individuals, thereby fostering a more just and equitable society.

اردو نصاب اور درسی کتب : یکساں قومی نصاب برائے اردو 2020 کے تناظر میں اردو کی درسی کتب کا تنقیدی مطالعہ This thesis, titled "Urdu Curriculum and Textbooks: Critical Analysis of Urdu Textbooks in the Context of Single National Curriculum of Urdu 2020," investigates the alignment and effectiveness of Urdu textbooks for classes 1 to 5 within the framework of the Single National Curriculum (SNC) for Urdu 2020. The study explores the degree to which the textbooks, which are central to the primary education system, reflect the curriculum's objectives and facilitate a coherent and consistent educational experience for young learners. The SNC was introduced with the intention of standardizing education across Pakistan, ensuring that all students, regardless of their socio-economic background, have access to a uniform quality of education. Within this context, the Urdu curriculum serves as a crucial component of the primary education system, aiming to develop students' language skills in a structured and progressive manner. The effectiveness of this curriculum, however, largely depends on the textbooks used to deliver its content. This study, therefore, critically analyzes the extent to which the Urdu textbooks align with the SNC's goals, principles, and pedagogical approaches. The research is structured into four chapters, each addressing a different aspect of the curriculum and textbook alignment. The first chapter provides an overview of the Curriculum, Curriculum Models, curriculum Foundations, SNC, SNCF and textbooks etc. This chapter also introduces the theoretical framework of the study, which is based on Single National Curriculum Framwork (SNCF). A Single National Curriculum for Urdu 2020 has been designed based on a Single National Curriculum Framework. This framewok advocates for a gradual and logical progression from simple to complex concepts, while serving as a lens through which the textbooks are analyzed. The second chapter focuses on the alignment between the learning outcomes presented in textbooks and the goals, objectives and learning outcomes outlined in the Single National Curriculum (SNC). This chapter critically examines how effectively the textbooks reflect the intended competencies that students are expected to develop and achieve according to the SNC. The chapter identifies which competencies have been given significant emphasis in the textbooks and which competencies have been neglected or insufficiently addressed in the textbooks. By contrasting the SNC’s viii objectives with the actual content provided in the textbooks, the chapter offers a critical perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of the educational resources, suggesting areas for potential improvement to better align with the curriculum's comprehensive goals. The third chapter delves into the content of the Urdu textbooks, examining how well they align with the curriculum's objectives. This chapter analyzes the selection of themes, topics, activities and linguistics issues included in the textbooks. This chapter also focuses on the pedagogical approaches embedded within the textbooks. It evaluates the extent to which the textbooks incorporate interactive and student-centered learning activities, as recommended by the curriculum. This chapter also examines the textbooks' emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, which are key components of the SNC. The fourth chapter provides a thorough review of Urdu textbooks, evaluating them against the recommendations set forth in the Single National Curriculum (SNC). This chapter critically examines various aspects of the textbooks, including their physical and visual design, content organization, and pedagogical approach etc. The findings of this study reveal both strengths and weaknesses in the alignment between the SNC and the Urdu textbooks. While the textbooks generally reflect the curriculum's objectives, there are areas where improvements could be made to enhance consistency and coherence. The study concludes with recommendations for curriculum developers, textbook authors, and educators, aimed at improving the alignment between the curriculum and textbooks to ensure a more effective and meaningful learning experience for students. Overall, this thesis contributes to the ongoing discourse on curriculum development and textbook evaluation in Pakistan, offering insights that can inform future revisions of the SNC and the Urdu textbooks used in primary education.

اردو ادب پر عالمگیریت کے اثرات:حسن منظر کے ناولوں کا خصوصی مطالعہ Globalization is a modern, economic, and social system that promotes a uniform way of life throughout the world. Globalization is a new term for global society. In which political, economic, social, and cultural events in one part of the world have an impact on people in other parts of the world. Globalization is an attempt to turn the world into a village. Globalization's changes have ushered in a new era of human history in which interdependence between different regions has increased much more than in the past.Goods that were previously only available in Western countries are now widely available throughout the world. In modern times, developing countries can use the fruits of scientific and industrial development available in developed countries to help their own development and improvement. Globalization can also be defined as a continuous process that strengthens regional economies and cultures through global networks of communication and trade. Many factors contribute to the globalization process, the most important of which is the advancement of transportation and technology, which has resulted in shorter distances. Different countries and regions have developed commercial ties with one another. They became acquainted with each other's cultures and began to adopt each other's values. Globalization has many advantages, but it also has drawbacks. Positive consequences include educational advancement, commercial, technological investment and capital flow, increased employment, and so on. On the other hand, it is being criticized for having a negative impact on developing countries. And it is said that it is dependent on the insecurity of the wealthy. Globalization has had a profound impact on literature, just as it has on every other aspect of life. Literature is evolving as a result of globalization. In this paper, I attempted to examine the ix political, social, and economic effects of globalization on Urdu literature, focusing on the novels of Hassan Manzar.

ادب اور انسانی حقوق: منتخب اردوافسانوں میں ہراسانی کی صورتوں کی پیش کش This research explores the intersection of literature and human rights through a focused examination of how harassment is portrayed in selected Urdu Short Stories. Drawing on the premise that literature not only reflects societal realities but also functions as a moral and ideological critique, the study investigates how Urdu fiction has responded to and represented various forms of harassment—social, psychological, sexual, and institutional—against vulnerable groups, particularly women. The study situates itself within the theoretical frameworks of human rights discourse and literary criticism, asserting that fiction can serve as a powerful tool for raising awareness, challenging oppressive norms, and advocating for justice. Through textual analysis of selected works by prominent Urdu writers, this research identifies recurring themes, narrative strategies, and character portrayals that expose the pervasive nature of harassment in both public and private spheres. The stories analysis reveals a spectrum of experiences ranging from overt abuse to subtle coercion, capturing the emotional and societal repercussions suffered by victims. The research also highlights the role of fiction in giving voice to marginalized individuals and in contesting the silence imposed by cultural taboos and patriarchal structures. In doing so, the study underscores how Urdu literature contributes meaningfully to the global conversation on human dignity, gender equity, and the right to live free from fear and humiliation. Ultimately, this work aims to bridge the gap between literary expression and socio-political activism by emphasizing the ethical responsibilities of writers and the transformative potential of fiction. The study concludes that Urdu fiction is not merely a reflection of social reality but also an active participant in the human rights struggle, offering resistance, empathy, and a vision for a more just society through the power of narrative.
ادب اور سماجی نفسیات: پاکستانی تارکینِ وطن کی شاعری میں ناسٹلجیا The title of my Research, Thesis for my M.Phil. Urdu is “Literature and Social Psychology: Nostalgia in the Poetry of Pakistani Diaspora” Literature is the mirror of society that is why it accepts the effects of attitudes, inclinations, movements and actions created in a society and expresses these in a particular way. In the 20th century, well identified changes are being found in the sub continent and the parti on of sub continent is prominent among them. It was such a troubling situation which directed every man towards individualism. Topical changes are being found in Urdu literature after Pakistan came in to being. Nostalgia was found which was not a new inclination in Urdu literature. This tradition has been coming from the Wali Dakni to Nasir Qazmi and it is still found in the poetry of the poets exiled from the country. Nostalgia is literally related to psychology. This is an inclination which takes birth from the hard feelings of the past. First of all, used this form calling it Des Badhka. It has been considered an illness during world War 1 and 2. Any war which used to dishearten soldiers, it created a wish to return to his own country. But in literature, nostalgia is an action to discover the past which has positive effects on society. Clay Rotalage has discussed it very comprehensively. He has discussed how nostalgia makes the social activities effective creating the spirit of intimacy and increases trust in social capabilities. It helps to search new relationships and encouragement. It helps to control the problems in the existing relationships. It energies the spirit of sympathy which can create the sympathatic society. The term immigrants is used for those who migrate to other countries and settle down there. After Pakistan came into being, a big number of immigrants migrated to developed countries like British to which migration is still continued. This migration has been done due to educational, political, social, cultural and financial issues. After migrating to British, these immigrants are facing numerous problems which include mixing in new culture, inadequacy with language, freedom of religious rites, and social and moral values. Because of these reasons, the immigrants feel alienation from the environment and become victim of intense isolation and so they feel nostalgia. This can be seen in the Pakistani immigrant poets. Ahmed Mushtaq, Saaqi Farooq, Mansoor Afaq and Ali Arman are the poets whose poetry shows the elements of recollection and remembrance of the country.
