Abstract

This paper investigates the theme of cultural decline in Urdu novels, with a critical lens on how societal, ethical, and civilizational values have been depicted through narrative structures. The study explores the historical and literary trajectory of cultural loss, especially in the context of colonialism, modernity, and social disintegration. Using examples from key Urdu novels, the research evaluates the symbols, metaphors, and character arcs that reflect this thematic concern.
