Background and development
Mirat-ul-Uroos, the first novel in Urdu literature, was written by Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi, also known as Deputy Nazir Ahmad, and first published in 1869. The novel promotes the cause of female education in Muslim and Indian society.[6] This TV adaptation is the third of Nazir's novel, but producer Abdullah Kadwani clarified that it is not a direct adaptation, rather inspired by the novel, with the story picking up where the original novel concludes.[3] Renowned Pakistani author and screenwriter Umera Ahmad penned the script, having previously collaborated with the production house on serials like Doraha (2008) and Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan (2010).
