As it is mentioned in the article , Interview was published in 1982.**

Till 1980s Urdu Literature (prose), was mainly dealing with the subjects like partition, Urban class facing problems in settlement, etc. You name it. Quratulain Haider, Saadat Hussain Manto, Hajira mastoor, Khadija Mastoor, Intezar Hussain, Bano Qudsia, all wrote about Urban class.

We still don’t have a novel in Urdu dealing with problems of rural Sindh. Asif Farrukhi’s novel ’ Dhani Bux ke Bete’ recently published talked about the feudalism, but its so vague that one can not determine which area Dhani Bux belongs to. Southern Punjab or from Sindh.

I would appreciate anyone who give me name of a novel by an Urdu writer dealing with the problems of Balochistan.

The situation after early 1980s changed a little bit when Mansha Yad wrote short stories about rural Punjab and Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi’s short stories started getting recognition which introduced new characters and problem of people living in rural Punjab. Novels like ‘Des Huwe Pardes’ by Mustansar Hussain taraR dealing with rural Punjab’s youth are also publications from late 1980s which were like a fresh breath of air in society which was given twisted history based novels by Naseem Hijazi and Ilyas Sitapuri.

This is the brief background which justify such question and I just limited myself to Urdu prose, I’m yet to see Urdu poetry which talked about rural areas of Pakistan.

Give me name of novel in balochi dealing with problems of blochistan?
