Abstract

The form of story-telling which has been given the name of novel appeared in Urdu when every writer considered moral education as his duty. It is not enough for a novelist to simply narrate an interesting story, but to stand in opposition to all kinds of philosophies. It is important to have an equal share in creative ideas and innovation. Novel writing is an important place in Urdu literature. If we look at the history, the beginning of the novel in Europe has been from the eighteenth century. The novel is a creation of the European Renaissance and the capitalist era. The development of the industrial age awakened the creativity of man. When the expression of facts was considered necessary, the novel came into existence and this genre of literature was used to express all kinds of serious psychological and intellectual and deep thoughts. Richardson's Pamela is considered to be the first novel in English. In Europe, the novel was in its early stages of development. At that time there was an era of stories in India. When the revolution of 1857 came in India. Then, instead of fantasy, he stepped into the world of reality. Then the description of the realities of life was considered necessary. Novel writing started in India under this necessity. Novels of the early pre-Partition period reflect traditional themes and political and social environment.
