    Here in Manto's own words that he wanted to mark his grave with:

    "In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

    Here lies Saadat Hasan Manto and with him lie buriedall the secrets and

    mysteries of the art of short-story writing....

    Under tons of earth he lies, still wondering who among the two is

    greater short-story writer: God or He.

    If you cannot bear these stories then the society is unbearable. Who am

    I to remove the clothes of this society, which itself is naked. I don't even

    try to cover it, because it is not my job, that's thejob of dressmakers.

    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

    incompeletewithout it?...Is love the name of physicalexcersize ?

    Hindustan had become free. Pakistan had become independent soon

    after its inception but man was still slave in both these countries --

    slave of prejudice slave of religious fanaticism slave of barbarity and

    inhumanity.

    Manto's take on Ismat:

    "Ismats pen and tongue both run fast. When she starts writing, herideas race ahead and the words cannot catch up with them. When she

    speaks, her words seem to tumble over one another. If sheenters the

    kitchen to show her culinary skill, everything will be in a mess. Being

    hasty by nature, she would conjure up the cooked roti in her mind even

    before she had finished kneading the dough. The potatoes would note yet

    be peeled although she would have already finished making the curry in

    her imagination. I feel sometimes she may just go into the kitchen

    andcome out again afer being satiated by her imagination.

    You would have realized that it wasn't Mumtaz, a muslim, a friend of

    yours, but a human being you had killed. I mean, if he was a bastard, by

    killing him you wouldn't have killed the bastard in him; similarly,

    assuming that he was a Muslim, you wouldn't have killed his

    Muslimness, but him.

    To tell you the truth, the world seemed full of sad people those who

    slept on the uncovered stoops of shops as well as those who lived in

    high-rise mansions. The man who walks about on foot worries that hedoesnt have decent shoes to wear. The man who rides the automobile

    frets that he doesnt have the latest model car. Every mans complaint is

    valid in its own way. Every mans wish is legitimate in its own right.

    I wondered why people consider escapism so bad, even the escapism on

    display right then. At first it might appear unseemly, but in the end its

    lack of pretension gives it its own sort of beauty.

    Dear God, master of the universe, compassionate and merciful: we who

    are steeped in sin, kneel in supplication before your throne and beseechyou to recall from this world Saadat Hasan Manto, son of Ghulam Hasan

    Manto, who was a man of great piety. Take him away, Lord, for he runs

    away from fragrance and chases after filth. He hates the bright sun,

    preferring dark labyrinths. He has nothing but contempt for modesty but

    is fascinated by the naked and the shameless. He hates sweetness, but

    will give his life to taste bitter fruit. He will not so much as look at

    housewives but is in seventh heaven in the company of whores. He will

    not go near running waters, but loves to wade through filth. Where

    others weep, he laughs; and where others laugh, he weeps. Faces

    blackened by evil, he loves to wash with tender care to make visible their

    real features. He never thinks about you but follows Satan everywhere,

    the same fallen angel who once disobeyed you.

    that ugly truth about Manto, the man: that for all his love of Indian

    multiplicity, he went to Pakistan. He even tried convincing Chughtai to

    go. The future looks beautiful in Pakistan, he said to her, Well be able

    to get the houses of people whove fled from there. Itll be just us there.

    Well progress very quickly. When I read this, I had trouble holding the

    two Mantos in my mind. It seemed impossible that the creator of Manto,

    the narrator and fictional presence, so immersed in the variety of India,

    seeming so much to rejoice in it, should also be the author of that

    remark, with its sly wish for homogeneity, for the place where Itll be

    just us. Chughtai, for other reasons, was also disgusted.

    To those men who say that women from good families must come

    into the world of cinema, I have this question: What is it that you mean

    by good? A woman, who honestly puts her wares on display, and sells

    them without an intention to cheat, is such a woman not virtuous?

    thought a glass of lassi would be refreshing. In the shop I noticed that

    the fan was on, but turned away from both customers and the owner. I

    was curious and asked why it was so. The owner glared at me and said:

    Cant you see? I looked. The fan was pointed in the direction of a poster

    of our great leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. I shouted, Pakistan

    Zindabad! and left without the lassi. In front of a shop, a manSaadat Hasan Manto, Why I Write: Essays by Saadat Hasan Manto

    His last years were beset with financial troubles; he drank heavily; he

    wrote to Chughtai on more than one occasion, pleading with her to find

    a way for him to come back to India. She was surprised to learn that far

    from large protests and signed declarations on his behalf, many in

    Pakistan felt he deserved to be punished. He died on January 18, 1955 in

    Lahore at the age of forty two.

    For me, remembrance of things past has always been a waste of time,

    and whats the point of tears? I dont know. Ive always been focussed

    on today. Yesterday and tomorrow hold no interest for me. What had to

    happen, did, and what will happen, will.
