Saadat Hassan Manto (Urdu: سعادت حسن منٹو; 11 May 1912 – 18 January 1955) was a British Indian-born Pakistani short story writer of the Urdu language. He is best known for his short stories, "Bu" (Odour), "Khol Do" (Open It), "Thanda Gosht" (Cold Meat), and "Toba Tek Singh".
Manto was also a film and radio scriptwriter and a journalist. He published twenty-two collections of short stories, one novel, five collections of radio plays, three collections of essays, and two collections of personal sketches.[1]
Manto was tried for obscenity six times; thrice before 1947 in British India, and thrice after independence in 1947 in Pakistan, but never convicted.[2] Some of his works have been translated in other languages.
Early life and education
Saadat Hassan Manto was born in Paproudi village of Samrala, in the Ludhiana district of the Punjab in a Kashmiri Muslim family of barristers on 11 May 1912.His niece is the Pakistani historian Ayesha Jalal.[citation needed]
Saadat Hasan Manto received his early education at Muslim High School in Amritsar, but he remained a misfit throughout in school years, rapidly losing motivation in studies and failing twice to matriculate.[citation needed] His only love during those days was reading English novels, one of which he stole from a book stall in Amritsar Railway Station.
In 1931, he passed out of school and joined Hindu Sabha College in Amritsar, which was already volatile due to the independence movement. This is reflected in his first story, Tamasha, based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
After his father died in 1932, he sobered up a bit to support his mother. The big turning point in his life came in 1933, at age 21,[13] when he met Abdul Bari Alig, a scholar and polemic writer, in Amritsar. Alig encouraged him to find his true talents and read Russian and French authors
