Abstract

The new generation of fiction writers made the Indian freedom movement, the
independence of the country, the partition and the horrific riots that occurred as a result,
the displacement of millions of people, the violation of civilized and cultural values, the
abolition of the feudal system, the emergence of industrial civilization and society, and
the changes and complications that occurred as a result of all this the subject of their
fiction. Along with this, these fiction writers tried to understand and present the
changes and problems that were taking place at the international level.
The traces and evidence of several trends are found here simultaneously in the
fiction writers associated with this era. A strong trend is the tragic accident of partition
and the horrific riots under which, on the one hand, communal hatred, moral decline,
bloodshed and displacement, violation of civilized values are seen, while on the other
hand, there are also abundant examples of the promotion of high human values like
philanthropy, tolerance, love and brotherhood. The second trend is that of social
realism under which general social problems are presented and their beauty and
ugliness are depicted. The third important trend is the trend of regionalism, under
which different regions of India have been illuminated with their own local flavor in the
stories created. The most rich interpretation of civilizational and cultural values has been achieved through this type of stories. This Article focusses on the Tales Narrative
and abstract Narrative of Modern Urdu Story after 60,s.
