Urdu Dramay kay Numainda Nisaae Kirdar: Tehqeeq, Taqabul, aur Tajzia

By Shumaila Hussain

This book is a corpus of stage, radio, and television dramas. A writer is chosen for each category, to express the author’s view of less importance being given to dramas compared to prose and poetry, and even lesser to the female characters therein. Mirza Adeeb is taken as a case study for stage, Sadat Hasan Manto for radio, and Ashfaq Ahmed for television.

The purpose of this calligraphic work is to highlight one of the major common denominators between India and Pakistan: language.
