In order to depict mind's constantly changing incomplete inner feelings based ideas through narrative methods to control readers mind, in literature a new Psychological based technique 'Stream of Consciousness' was initiated during 19th Century by an American modern Psychologist William James (1842-1910). This technique was effectively utilized in their literature by Dorthy Richardson (1873-1957) and Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) as well. Afterwards their contemporaries James Joyce (1882-1941) and William Faulkner (1897-1962) also artistically used this technique. Legendary Urdu writer Hassan Askari, initially experimented this technique in his fiction, 'Haramjaadi' and 'Chaaey ki Piali' followed by eminent novelist Quratul Aain Hyder in 'Aag ka Darya'. Prominent Naturalist Urdu writer Saadat Hssan Manto, is also recognized for experimenting aforesaid technique in his fictions like 'Toba Tek Singh' and 'Siyah Haashiey'. Distinguished Urdu fictionist/Novelist Devinder Issr, during 1986, published his famous 'Stream of Consciousness' (Shuaaoor ki Row) based novel 'Khushboo Ban Key Lowten Gey' as well.
