Abstract
In1934, a newspaper "Balochistan-i-jadeed" published Yousaf Aziz Magsi's
story "Takmeel-i-Insaniyat" which is generally believed to be the the first-ever
Urdu short story in Balochistan, Interestingly, this short story was not available
in a complete form for a long period of time. A couple of years back the short
story was made available when a copy of the same newspaper was found. Given
the political stature of Magsi in Balochistan, University of Balochistan
published this story in a separate pamphlet in 2017. This article debunks the
claim of Takmeel-iInsaniyat to be the first-ever Urdu short story in Balochistan
in the context of literary aspects of a short story. Also, this article rejects the
claim of another short story to be the first in Balochistan. This article is meant to
open up new debates to identify the first-ever Urdu short story in Balochistan.
