MILESTONES OF URDŪ PROSE IN NORTH INDIA
Keywords
North India, Karbal Kathā, Urdū Prose, Fort William College, Hatim, Wajhi, Wali, ‘Ajaib al-Qiṣaṣ, Shah ‘Alam Sani
Abstract

Fazl ‘Ali Fazli's compilation Karbal Kathā plays a vital role in Urdū literature. The style of this compilation has been overviewed in this article. Shah ‘Alam Sani's compilation ‘Ajaib al-Qiṣaṣ also plays important role in the progress of Urdū prose after Fazl ‘Ali Fazli’s. Sani's compilation has been analyzed to evaluate Urdū prose in a literary perspective thus to prove that it has gone through levels of simplicity and fluency. Furthermore, the article visibly expresses simplicity of Urdū prose before Fort William College and tries to define the phases it underwent to reach present stage.
