Abstract

Epidemics started chasing human beings in the shape of death at the very beginning of life on the earth and till now, they have done great harm to humans in different forms. But today's civilized and scientific society, which has reached the limits of the sky, has been paralyzed by the corona epidemic within a few days. Scientists who find cures for all kinds of complex diseases look helpless in front of Corona. Humans are forced to run away from their loved ones. In this crowd of people, each person seems to be standing alone and afraid of each other. Literary men were also among the victims of corona epidemic. Many of them lost their lives. Those who lived, described the effects of Corona in their own way. Mustansar Hussain Tarar and Raffaat Javed have written novels. In his own novel, they have given a detailed review of all the situations, events and effects that were faced by a rich to a poor person. Thay have taken an overall look at the life of humans and other creatures in this world during Corona. Which opens up the reason for the claim of human development.
