"Adabi Tehqeeq Kay Usool" (Principles of Literary Research) is a remarkable and comprehensive book by Dr Tabassum Kashmiri that will continue to meet our university requirements for years to come. Previously, no comprehensive book on this subject existed in Urdu. Now, a new edition of this book is being published with additions. These additions are important with respect to new standards and concepts in the art of research.

Dr. Tabassum Kashmiri holds a distinct identity as a critic, researcher, poet, and teacher. Both aspects: the standards and style demanded by research according to its subject, are present in his work. The poetic flair in his style infuses a natural flow into the complex subject of research, making it accessible to both readers and students.

Standardization is the foremost priority in research, a factor Dr. Tabassum Kashmiri has meticulously maintained. This book contains excellent material regarding the stages and hierarchies of the art of research. Its study is essential for anyone interested in the art of research, particularly university students. Hardly any other book offers such comprehensive content within so few pages. This book not only counts among the pioneering works in Urdu research but also occupies a unique position in terms of quality among the material that has emerged to date.
