If anyone can hold a mirror up to a society that has lived through Partition, it is Manto. Whether he’s narrating the story of a worried father searching for his missing daughter or a Sikh man struggling to live with himself after a particularly horrific round of looting during riots, he has the masterful skill of making a point with the deepest impact.

Manto was arguably the most prolific writer of the Independence era. Read on, as he proves it yet again through two of his most heart-wrenching stories in The Horrors of Partition.
