پشکر ناتھ کو اردو زبان پر غیر معمولی عبور حاصل تھا اور ان کا طرز تحریر اپنے ہم عصروں سے بالکل مختلف رہا ہے۔ کشمیر، اس کی سماجی زندگی اور عصری حقائق کا گہرا شعور ان کی کہانیوں میں محسوس کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ کشمیر کے علاوہ انہوں نے ہندوستانی معاشرے کے تقریباً تمام زندہ سماجی مسائل کو بھی اپنے منفر اسلوب میں پیش کیا ہے۔ زندگی کا وسیع تجربہ ان کی کہانیوں میں جہاں جھلکتا ہے وہیں بعض اوقات تاریخی اور عصری سیاسی حالات کی جھلک بھی انہوں نے اپنے افسانوں کے ذریعے پیش کی ہے۔ ان کی کہانیاں کسی خاص طبقے، فرقے یا گروہ کی نمائندگی نہیں کرتی ہیں۔
