Meaning of the word 'animadversion' is strong criticism, a critical

or censorious remarks or unfavorable comments. This article will discuss

those critical writings in which a piece of writing is analyzed by carrying

out all the weaknesses, flaws and defects, and thus it is proved that

whether the book under review is valid or totally unreliable. The purpose

of this method is to save the critics and researchers of language and

literature from misguidance and scattered imagination. Looking at such

writings, it may seem as if a fierce critic is pursuing a creator, but the

fact is that this method of critique has revealed the actual value of many

wellDknown books and authors. Such critics scrutinize an entire book

and then present the study and all the shortcomings of the text. Though

negative opinions are formed about this kind of criticism but it helps

creators, critics and researchers to focus on their workmore carefully.

Here are some important examples of animadversions in Urdu which

suggest that these critics and researchers boldly captured the personalities

and influential institutions of their time. As a result, the status of some

books was invalidated and some institutions had to withdraw their

publications.
