اردو ادب کی جدید سمتیں اور ان کی تاثیر

Abstract

This article explores the contemporary shifts and evolving trends within Urdu literature, focusing on how modernity has influenced the language's literary genres, themes, and artistic expressions. From the rise of progressive thought to the emergence of postmodern techniques, Urdu literature has undergone significant transformations in the last century. These shifts reflect broader socio-political and cultural changes within Pakistan and the larger South Asian context. The paper discusses the influence of globalization, digitalization, and the changing political landscape on the creative work of contemporary Urdu writers. The research also highlights the resurgence of interest in classical Urdu forms like ghazal and nazm, while examining their modernization and adaptation in the 21st century. This study analyzes key literary movements and the works of prominent Urdu authors who have shaped these trends.
