Abstract
"The present article traces the history of the scientific Urdu novel. There has always been two schools of thought related to science. One of them believes the world owes its development to science along whereas the other opines that science is no less than an inconvenience and that it is responsible for the deterioration of the mankind. As science is related to all circles of life so it is related to Urdu literature too. The subgenre of scientific novel originates in Urdu novel with Umer Zafer's 'Neeli Chatri'. The most prominent scientific novelists include Ibn-e-safi, Mazar kaleem M.A., Mohiyyud Din Nawab and M. Khalid Akhter. Hijab imtiaz Ali Taj, Bano qudsia, Ather Baig and Waheed Ahmad are the other representatives of the scientific Urdu novel. A misconception about the Urdu novel is that it's replete with the pleasures and pain of love alone, reality how seen is totally opposite to it. Novel today, presents the philosophical delicacies and theories. Scientific topics are well represented too."
