While the society regressed, his writings progressed.
“My job is to write with a white chalk, so that I can draw attention to the blackness of the board.” - Manto
As times changed so did the people and with them literature did too. But Manto’s beliefs, stand unchanged even today.
He lived his stories so much so that there was a ‘Manto’ in most of them.
If he wasn't so pained, he wouldn't have been immortalized as Manto.
Manto spoke as he thought, wrote as he saw. To know more about him & his Mantoiyat, visit your nearest cinemas on 21st September.
