Abstract
Literature is a criticism of life and the genre of literature "Novel" presents a complete picture of life after the Dastan due to its length and viscosity. Following Mathew Arnold and Premchand, literature is not merely influenced by the revolutions of the time, but rather the forerunner of revolutions, and the writer is the interpreter of social problems as well as the one who presents solutions to social problems. Great Novels written in different languages also seem to refine and promote freedom, love and social values with the reflection of social problems through narrative dialogue and characters at the lower level of their text. Before the Urdu novel, the stories written in the subcontinent like Kalila and Damna . Romantic stories translated into poetry (Heer ranjha, Saiful Muluk etc.) have been written directly or indirectly from the perspective of the encouraging future of the society. Early impressions of the Urdu novel written in the nineteenth century are adorned with objectivity. Marat-ul-Aros, Amrao Jan ada, Bazar Husan and Medan e amal are also the precursors of the social problems of this era and also the fodder for the ills of the society in different ways. Even fiction with progressive ideals seems to communicate the desire for a more inclusive society. During the life of the novel, in reaction to the heaviness of the objectivism of the early period, some kind of correction was tried to be expelled from the novel, but in the Urdu novel of the modern era, it is in good spirits without becoming a diagnostician of social problems and a narcissist. Future novelists are writing influential Novels. At the head of the modern age, the burden of the problems of the ancient era is also there in original or in modified structure and also the load of the empty life, ironically, of the globalization that transforms closeness into distance and distance into closeness protected by the slaps of consumerism. If the novelists draw the map of these serious social problems and the moment present the solution to these problems without undermining the technical accessories, then they will be able to become immortal. In this paper, the social problems presented in the novels written in the 21st century, respectively, "Po Ke Maan Ki Dunya", "Neeli Bar" and "Mangi Hui Mohabbat" will be explored in the context of the modern era.
