  1. toba tek singh a simple words but in it a state of mind which is bleeding by the partition ,the places where we live or our forefather live have plenty of nice memories .This emotional feelings can feel those who face the process of migration,the people who migrates from Pakistan to India on 1947 or from India to Pakistan. I love all these migrants i mean (muajar) in Urdu because my father face it and I think in a unique manner that partition is isolate me from my family. I have close relation with Saadat Hassan Manto.I tell you my grandfather Khawaja shamsuddin is the brother of manto wife safia ,alas partition what you done with me. (khawaja ishaq) wah cantt

  4. Amazing! How simply manto narrate and give message that partition is not the solution actually it will get more complicated and worse. He was right because now we can see after 65 + years we want peace aman ki asha ... And all that shit WTF!

  11. This iS one of the finest piece of loterature which shows us the struggles and hurdles which our forefather face during partition time. Salute is very lesser thing for those fighters who stand for the cause of seperate homeland of muslims. It is true that we face many problems and psychologically we attach to a place where we live for some time and especially our child hood but we can not neglect the advantages of seperate homeland, we must be thankful to all of those who sacrifice for the sake of seperation. Manto shows beautifully that what actually going on in the minds of people of every class and even people like toba tek singh who are mentally disturbed, we can't said that he is mad as we can see many things which are totally opposite of this notion present in toba tek singh.
