This research's main goal is to identify the linguistic variety in Pakistani Urdu Literature particularly present in Bano Qudsia's famous novels.

Her novels are beaded with language shift especially with Urdu-English fusion to display the real implications of diverse culture of Pakistani Literature. The constrained and open ended approach examines how Urdu borrows English terminology and shifts from one language to another and became the source of code switching and shows new diverse culture of Pakistani Society to show class by using Urdu and English side by side. By breaking it down into grammatical and domain-specific categories, the novel Piya Naam Ka Diya identifies the societal elements underlying Urdu-English code-mixing.
