Saadat Hassan Manto (Urdu: سعادت حسن منٹو) (May 11, 1912 – January 18, 1955) was a short story writer of Kashmiri heritage. He is best known for his short stories , 'Bu' (Odour), 'Khol Do' (Open It), 'Thanda Gosht' (Cold Meat), and his magnum opus, Toba Tek Singh'.
Combining psychoanalysis with human behaviour, he was arguably one of the best short story tellers of the 20th century, and one of the most controversial as well. When it comes to chronicling the collective madness that prevailed, during and after the Partition of India in 1947, no other writer comes close to the oeuvre of Saadat Hassan Manto.

ReplyDeletethe story is highlighting the hypocritical behavior of people in society, also a satire on corrupt system run under nose of government.
Deletethere is no need to say anymore
ReplyDeletewho was SHE ? and what she was doing there ??
ReplyDeleteI also didn't get the meaning/ message behind this story
can anyone explain it ?
she was mian by sahab;s daughter.Though she was his daughter by blood but was not like him in deed.She was sensitive to amin pahalwan's sad story and thus managed get the final rites for his dead mother done.
ReplyDeleteShe said she was his wife because by it she meant that just like a husband doesn't has to pay anything to his wife for any help or service, amin pahalwan wasn't required to repay the expenses incurred by mian sahab's daughter.
A beautiful story indeed.
