(Izhar Ahmed Gulzar, Pakistan)

This is because this century of human history brings to our attention a completely different map of its condition, trend and traces from its earliest times. What happened in its early years is not so difficult to understand today as the fact that this map is actually being shaped by the practical interpretation of these desires and dreams.
Literature is not a matter of direct expression of persons, objects, elements and factors, but of what is said about novels and fiction that they are biographies on one level. Seen in this light, the state of literature and especially fiction of this period can make us aware of the nature, nature of the vibrations that occur in human life in this age and their effects on the human heart and mind of this age. This will help us to understand what are the motivations behind the manifestations of human civilization in the 21st century. At the same time, through this kind of study, we can have the opportunity to know and understand what kind of elements are playing a role in shaping the mental tendencies of the new man and the social values ​​of the 21st century. Man's consciousness has undergone changes and the realm of his consciousness is now enlightened by his experiences, and also that of consciousness and consciousness.
In the 21st century, Urdu literature is on the path of rapid development. On the one hand, new genres are taking place under the need of the time and on the other hand, revolutionary changes are taking place in the existing genres at both technical and intellectual levels. Creators and readers of literature are directly affected. New experiments are being made in literature. In the 21st century, the variety of styles and themes of Urdu literature has multiplied, which has paved the way for experimentation on new topics in poetry, fiction, novels and criticism. In particular, Saadat Hassan Manto and Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi From Dr. Ahsan Farooqi, Naeem Awari to Intezar Hussain and Zahida Hina, Urdu fiction has taken on many dimensions. Twenty-first century fiction and novels cover a wide range of topics, including social inequalities, growing psychological issues in society, and the horrors of globalization. Is . In the 21st century, Urdu literature in general and fiction in particular are undergoing major changes. A new generation that is creating fiction. That literature is undoubtedly creating standard literature.
A look at the modern fictional situation in the 21st century reveals that short fiction and novels have been the mainstay of Urdu fiction. In this regard, Urdu fiction has come a long way of almost a century and a half and in this one hundred and fifty years, Urdu fiction has expanded at an artistic, intellectual and thematic level.
The time of the 21st century brings to the fore a scenario of new discoveries and new insights which is called the good old days of Urdu fiction. In the 21st century, mythical literature has come to life with a new theory, freeing itself from unnecessary and unfamiliar symbols.

Together they created a large circle of theme, form and idiom. The development of fiction in world literature and the endorsement of its creative potential confirmed its literary status.
One of the well-known short story writers of the 21st century is Akhlaq Hyderabadi, who has adapted short fiction to modern requirements. Premchand said about the concept of literature in the short preamble to the 'love of country':
'Every nation is the knowledge of literature is the true picture of the times that trigger thoughts of the minds and feelings in the hearts of people. Echo He appears in the pages of poetry and prose as neatly as a mirror. ”(1)
His fictions also depict Hindi words and Indian society. As a novelist, Prem seems to be influenced by Chand because his subject is also his life, experiences and reality. In the preface of the legendary collection of Akhlaq Hyderabadi, "Incomplete Writing", Dr. Anwar Ahmed Raqam says:
"I am sincerely convinced of the innocence, philanthropy and benevolence of Hyderabadi's morals, so I consider them to be very good human beings. Apparently, but being so innocent and bright, an Egyptian person can also write fiction, even if he has endured the hardships of a foreign country, has seen people of different temperaments and has observed the day of his imagination, it is of some value to me. Surprisingly, I read his fiction and the experience and impact of most of his creations has made this book extraordinary. ”(1)
Literature The only literature that meets the test is the one that has thought, the spirit of freedom, the essence of beauty and the spirit of construction, instead of turning a blind eye to the realities of life.
Akhlaq Hyderabadi has written in his fictions keeping in view the political, cultural and social trends of the 21st century. Because the 21st century has begun with terror, barbarism and war. However, the fact is not forgotten that like individuals, periods or times do not appear in isolation, nor do the changes that take place in them become immortal or overnight. Like the behavior of individuals, the mood of the time also reflects the change under the influence of various factors. Akhlaq Hyderabadi, in view of all these circumstances, has shown a full reflection of life in its fictions. His collection of fiction is called "Incomplete Writing". The subject of most of his fictions is "Woman". The woman and her economic problems and needs, her weaknesses and her courage are also the subject of her fiction.
Akhlaq Hyderabadi did not allow the psychology of the characters and the social background of the events to disappear from sight for a moment. He also wanted to make life meaningful and easy with a purposeful thinking. Keeping in mind the requirements of the 21st century, his fictions feature social confusion, contradictions and social issues. It would not be out of place to call him a novelist of life. His fiction is the spokesman of life. In all these myths, social issues and society are present.
Morality Hyderabadi has closely observed the standards of morality, social complexities, economic inequalities, psychological conditions and cultural values ​​and has not allowed this ideology to disappear from the point of view of self-accountability. In all his myths, society is manifested with its different backgrounds. Among these myths, "Society Girl" and "Ten's Note" are written in the same context with different sequences of events in terms of their style and appearance, but also "Society Girl" which is theirs. It is the name of fiction. It is the name that represents the society and a girl who is a victim of the hedonism of the society who sacrifices her life for the sake of supporting her family in this dirty and filthy profession like the social background in fiction. has been reflected:
'I work in the office is also in the traction they do not tell people, an honorable called siblings.' '(3)
The following liner highlights society and societal issues. Elsewhere he writes:
"Perhaps the sand of this world is that in this world those who give the right to life to others are deprived of the right to live." (1)
The mind of a writer. More sensitive than normal people. He not only makes the events of the society a part of history with his pen but also forces the common people to think by presenting it in a new style.
The main idea of ​​the Hyderabadi myth "Ten Note" is similar to Society Girl. There is just a difference. The main theme of the novel is the acquisition of the basic necessities of life. In which the greatest need of man is to arrange the fuel of the stomach. Man can endure everything but not hunger. It is hunger that makes man do all kinds of wrong and right things. It forces him to walk towards the unseen destination from which it is not only difficult but also impossible to return.
The special virtue of the myths of Hyderabadi is that they have tried their best to highlight the tragedy of women. The role of woman in Urdu mythology has been of special importance especially after the partition of India because woman is a victim of man's lust everywhere and in every age. The color of reality is prominent in their fictions. Experiences of expression, style, technique are prominent in his fictions. This fiction reflects the bitter reality of life. This is the story of a prostitute who came from a poor but noble family but poverty and hardship forced her to take up this profession and her husband became a picture of compulsion and helplessness. Despite having a respectful heart, he could not do anything. Because it is necessary to have body and soul for labor and toil, because of which no one even gives him work. That is the meaning of life
"But death is not so cheap."
"There is life.
" "I can turn life into death.
" "You have forgotten or do not understand the meaning of life
." I understand the meaning of '' (1)
In the story, Hyderabadi's characterization, detailing and novelty of the characters are described in the context of the 21st century. The perfection of language and expression adds a color to it. The breadth of the themes extends from the plot of the stories to the globalization in some cases, the characters created something that, despite being completely real, is very unique, interesting and memorable and of course this memorable in Urdu literature. They find a place in the ranks of the characters. Life belongs to the society and this poor man who is crushed in the mill of social indifference, when he gets tired of life. When despair and boredom prevails, he surrenders himself to death. Death does not end the bitterness of life, it is in its place. I don't know how many Jamilas are sacrificing themselves in the mill of poverty. It is only the result of the indifference of the people in power in society that they are surrounded by the poor, the needy and the destitute.
One of the salient features of Hyderabadi's style is his brevity. Not only sound education but his alertness and dedication too are most required. The role of 21st century society is evident in his mythological themes. These myths depict the system of values ​​of an unequal society which exposes the movements and residences of the people of different classes living in the society.
The novel presents a beautiful and true picture of the generation gap. The views of the elders are very different from the views of the new generation. They consider their traditions and values ​​as survival. In the 21st century, human beings have reached many stages of development. Traditions and values ​​seem to be dying there. Moral Hyderabadi considers its traditions and values ​​as survival. Separation from it is the cause of their annihilation. This is a huge social problem facing the people of the 21st century. It is not possible for the new man to compromise with the old traditions and this attitude puts the trustee of traditions and values ​​to eternal sleep. The modern man of the 21st century, instead of looking at his elders and their predecessors with respect and dignity, hurts their feelings and as a result feels satisfied to get rid of them. These lines of fiction Highlights reflect:
"How can the quarrel between the new and the old, which has been going on for centuries, be resolved, except that the
fathers have to compromise with the situation?" (2) And they don't let their thoughts get in the way and leave the parents at the old house. The new values ​​taught mankind civilization but suffocated feelings and emotions and everything that could not adapt to the new requirements perishes.
Myth "Number Two" Morals The clear purpose of Hyderabadi myths is to find the realities of life. They pay little attention to the beauty of life and its beautiful aspects. On the contrary, their eyes are fixed on the beauty of facts and they also see beauty in those aspects of life which are not seemingly beautiful but make it beautiful by their art and style. A notable feature of his fiction is the shortness of sentences. The whole story goes through the characters. The myth of "December" revolves around a man who is a social parasite. There is no dearth of mean and selfish people in our society and people who are free from selfishness and meaning, although not very many in number, but this is the beauty of the society who do not have good intentions and goodness despite being deceived by such people. Leave "December" is the subject of such a story. The following lines of fiction not only clarify the subject of the story.
"His pay slip was more than forty thousand. I remembered my ten thousand celery. There was no difference in salary, but also differences in the intentions .I 'merger intention was.' '(7)
the writing Hyderabad because it certainly will not be on the social Writers Connected to society. The heart of a sensitive novelist beats with everyone and hurts the sorrows of others. It hurts to see them tormented. He sees and feels social injustice in his own way. In the same way, the themes of his fictions are not from the description of the hell of life but from within. There is a tendency to enter into his fictions and in every fiction it feels as if he personally perceived it and felt it very closely. He is present in every one of his fictions.
Simran's self-sacrifice certainly makes her the most distinguished in the distant society and the decision to bathe with Ramesh at the last moment also shows the place of a single woman in the society. How difficult it is for a single woman to endure the heat of life and she needs the support of a man anyway.
There are two aspects to this. One is how strong a woman can be, the courage to face the situation wisely, and the other is how weak and helpless she looks to avoid people's ridicule. For this she needs the support of a man. Look at these lines of fiction:
“Where did the sister-in-law go? Anamika said in shock.
"Where the sister-in-law had to go already. Let them go, now they are too late anyway. They have dedicated some days and nights to our name for life. ”(2)
Reading the myth "Money Plant", it can be said that Akhlaq Hyderabadi is a novelist of a common man. Sometimes they find it in a remote part of the city or sometimes in a village. The salient feature of his writing is that he first paints a picture of the surroundings because it is not even possible for him to imagine that a human being is living a life cut off from his environment and society and simply lost in his caste. Each of their characters is not in itself an integral part of their environment. No piece of writing cut from society can accurately express society and life, nor can it describe its sorrows, griefs and joys.
The subject and main character of the "mini-plant" fiction is also a woman like the above fiction. A woman who raises her only daughter after the death of her husband and both mother and daughter work in a factory but society never looks at a single woman with a good eye and realizes the same thing as "mother" who Throughout the story, she is referred to only as "Mother". The factory owner decides to marry Akram Babu and, unlike the traditional owners, Akram Babu proves to be a very noble, kind-hearted and good man. At first, the doll misunderstands the move by talking to people, but soon she realizes that Akram Babu is a man who is different from ordinary people. And give her mother a good life and affection like a father. She is educated and intelligent. She understands how bitter it is to live alone and her mother is not supposed to be married. Even if she did, when she gets married, on what shelter will her mother live and who will take care of her in her old age? As in fiction, "Mother" gets sick and the feeling of being a girl makes her believe a lot:
'' Woe to the night! Alas! The doll's eye opened at the sound of.
"What's the matter, mother?" The doll put her hand on her mother's forehead and panicked. I had a fever. She was upset to see her mother's deteriorating condition. What to do now
The wall clock struck two in the morning. A mother raises her six or seven children alone. She nurtures them. She takes care of their every need. From the smallest need to the greatest desire, she is ready to sacrifice on them. But when these children become young, a mother for them. How expensive it is to take care of and take care of its small needs...
