Academic and literary letters are very important in the thematic division of the letter. These letters are informational in nature in, comments and analyzes are presented. In Urdu which literary points are explained. Academic and literary theories literature, literary theories, interpretations, contemporary literary situations, linguistic debates etc. are described in scholarly and literary texts. Even if the letters of Literary Personalities are of a personal nature, they are useful, but if we talk about their academic and literary schools, it helps to know their ideological commitment, ideological explanation, literary perspective, etc. Such letters are also helpful in understanding the ideas presented in the poetry and works of the poet or prose writer. Apart from his creations, the creator expresses his ideas through conversations and letters with friends. Dr. Aslam Ansari's critical views are present in most of his critical works, but at the same time, his scholarly and literary writings also cover these discussions. Through the comparative study of his letters and critical prose, where the dispersed state of these ideas has been presented in a unified form, the paths for new ideas and thoughts have also been paved.
