Abdul Haleem Sharar as a Social Novelist (An Analysis of Critical Fallacies)
Keywords
Novel, Abdul Haleem Sharar, Social, Historical, Critical, Fallacies, Novelist
Abstract

Abdul Haleem Sharar contributed to the Urdu literature simultaneously in the field of novel writing, journalism, poetry, composition, biography and drama writing. He has tried his hand in various genres of literature and any genre of literature that he adopted, he created new dimensions in it. However, much of his fame rests on his novel writing especially historical novels. Based on the fame of Sharar’s historical novel writing, there is a critical fallacy in the world of literature that a writer of historical novels could not depict his era and that all his social novels are fiction and that have a little attachment to the reality and they are not the true reflection of the society. Thus, due to this critical fallacy, Sharar’s social novels were not only completely ignored but these novels were also rejected. This critical fallacy made Sharar’s social novels futile for the public even for the critics. Thus, this fallacy closed the chapter of criticism and analysis on Sharar’s social novels and these novels were pushed into the valley of oblivion from where they could not be taken out till date. This article critiques that Sharar has contributed in the development of Urdu novel writing and these novel are undeniable and inevitable if one wants to get familiar with the political, social and cultural motivations of that particular era. This article also evaluates that a fair analysis is needed on the literary and artistic standard of social novels of Abdul Haleem Sharar.
