Abstract:

The literary movements of Urdu have had a profound and comprehensive impact on both fictional and non fictional prose;produced in Balouchistan.It is quite auspicious to note that the early prose of Balouchistan in Urdu reflects the grave influence of these movements.Notably,the marks of movements such as Iqbal studies,the Progressive Writer’s Movemnt,the movement led by Syed Ahmed Barelvi,the Freedom Movement,and the Aligarh Movement are clearly evident in the early Urdu prose of Balouchistan.Writer’s have consciously expressed their affiliation with Urdu literary movements,incorporating them into their works.This effort to connect Balouchistan’s Urdu prose with the larger streams of  Urdu literature is indeed commendable.

Keywords:
