Abstract

The tradition of abridgement in Urdu literature is very old. Although little work has been done on it, as a genre, it has a prominent position as a sub-genre in the main genres of Urdu prose. Wasif Ali Wasif has the main role in promoting the tradition of abridgement. This paper is based on an analytical study of Mohsin Khalid Mohsin's abridgement which aims to briefly analyse his writings while keeping the personality of Mohsin Khalid Mohsin in the background. This essay is an attempt to bring forward scholarly criticism of the diverse narratives of Pakistani society.

Keywords: Abridgement prose genres, Wasif Ali Wasif, Pakistani society, Pakistani politics, moral values, Islamic thought, international oppression, globalization, dictatorial rule, 21st century.
