To be very honest I don’t find Manto guilty of being obscene , although his controversial stories like Khol do and Thanda Gosht have created a bit of fury in those days .
But in my humble opinion as he was bit influenced by realist writers like Anton Chekhov and Maksim Gorki therefore he tried to articulate the ideals of social uplift and justice through his literature.
He was just guilty of showing us the dirt and slime of our society we have always loved to sweep under the carpet .
He was right to ask the precarious question which boggles the minds of thousands ..... he once said
If a man has to make a woman the center of his love, why should he integrate animality into this sacred human emotion?...Is love incomplete without it?...
Is love the name of physical exercise ?
