Neo historicism is a literary term coined by Stephen Greenblatt in the United States in the 1980s. He is of the view that along with literary text, non-literary text is also of equal importance to understand the functioning power and sociopolitical dynamics of the society. Moreover, critics of neo-historicism say that history is based on prejudices, while fiction has some truth to it. In the context of neo historicism, in this research article, it is tried to explore the tragedy of Fall of Dhaka through the lens of literary text of Urdu Novels: Khas o Khashak Zamanay, Raakh, Matti Adam Khati hay and Makhota. Each author has described this tragedy in one’s own way in the form of literary texts, so that the emotions and feelings of the people and its real facts become very clear to the reader.
