Abstract

Molvi Nazeer Ahmed is one of the greatest Urdu Novelists. He was considered as a first Urdu Novelist. His novels bear mostly the themes of troubles, ignorance and unawareness prevailing in his era. He was anxious about education of Muslim women and their lot in general; their ignorance and other problems. He gave the idea of a prefect woman being a practical and well-educated and presented them as guides for juvenile girls. His unmatchable novel, Mirat-ul-Uroos (The bride's mirror) comprises such subjects that endorse the foundation of female literacy in Muslim and Indian society, and is recognized for giving birth to an entire genre of fictional works encouraging female education in Urdu. It was his art of characterization that placed his novels in front line of Urdu Novels.
