They were all mujahids, God’s valiant soldiers who didn’t know anything about fighting but were ready to jump into the battlefield at the first opportunity. The issue at hand was grabbing Kashmir at any cost. As the discussion continued, Haneef showed great enthusiasm for the cause but Manto could tell that something was bothering his friend. Perhaps there was something wrong at home?

But when Haneef reveals the truth, Manto realizes that it is a weight that now belongs to him too.

Only Manto’s writing has the power to make a political statement using an incredibly personal story. Beautifully layered and heart-wrenchingly poignant, I’m No Good for You! is a masterpiece.
