Translated from Urdu, this short biography of Manto recounts the life and personality of a bold and unmitigated realist of his times. A generation after Premchand, the story writers that came to the forefront, among them Krishan Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Ismat Chugtai and Saadat Hasan Manto were most outstanding. Manto had a deep insight into human nature and a surprisingly keen understanding of human actions. Urdu short story rightly feels proud of its enrichment and the pride of place in the field of fiction because of Manto’s stories.
