Much has been written about Manto. In his times, he was perhaps talked about more than his written works. Dragged into court, condemned by the custodians of culture, ridiculed by the scholars of “serious literature”, Manto lived and wrote as he pleased. He was asked why he wrote and he replied with a honest and witty article, “Main afsana kyunkar likhta hun”. Then he one upped himself by writing a critique of the article and of himself as a writer.
---------------------------
Manto was incorrigible!
Nothing could make him stop writing about the world as he saw it for as long as he lived. Not six court cases of obscenity, not the partition of his beloved nation and the difficult decision to move to Pakistan, not the abject poverty that drove him to near homelessness, not the bid of
well-wishers to admit him to a mental asylum (meant to cure alcoholism). He lived till he wrote and then when he was told he couldn’t write anymore, he died.
What he wrote about were taboo subjects, how he wrote them was taboo too. He was rebuked and ostracised but he continued imbuing all his characters- the pimps, prostitutes, lunatics, free spirited women- with the very same dignity that was denied to him.

उर्दू लेखक, सआदत हसन मंटो (11 मई 1912 – 18 जनवरी 1955) अपने बेबाक लेखन के लिए जाने गए. कहानियों में अश्लीलता के आरोप मंटो पर लगे और उन्हें छह बार अदालत जाना पड़ा था, लेकिन ये आरोप कभी सिद्ध नहीं हुए. वे अपनी लघु कथाओं, बू, खोल दो, ठंडा गोश्त और चर्चित टोबा टेकसिंह के लिए प्रसिद्ध हुए।कहानीकार होने के साथ-साथ मंटो फिल्म और रेडिया पटकथा लेखक और पत्रकार भी थे।
सिर्फ इक्कीस साल के लेखन में, उन्होंने बाइस लघु कथा संग्रह, एक उपन्यास,
रेडियो नाटक के पांच संग्रह, रचनाओं के तीन संग्रह और व्यक्तिगत रेखाचित्र
के दो संग्रह प्रकाशित कर डाले
