Title

VOICES OF THE MARGINALISED IN MANTO’S SHORT STORIES – BITTER HARVEST AND THE RETURN.

Authors

Abstract

Saadat Hasan Manto’s stature as an Urdu short story writer of the undivided India can be grasped through the journey of his candour writings. Born in a small village of Sambrala, Punjab, his variegated fiction dispenses his thoughts which revolved around the cataclysmic and disconcerting social-realities. At a time, when his contemporaries acted as the victims of moralistic conundrum and deliberately chose to disregard and strangle the voices of the marginalised, Manto dealt with the section of society which was castigated and condemned like prostitutes, pimps, eunuchs etc. Through stories like, Bitter Harvest and The Return, his multifaceted depiction of the naked truth could be witnessed. He was the flag bearer of modern and progressive ideas and so, always stood up to strengthen the voices of the underprivileged irrespective of religion, caste, gender, etc. His female characters were unconventionally presented, so that, the hypocrisy of religion and nationhood could be highlighted. He had a passionate disgust for religious acrimony. There were times when he was charged with obscenity but then, Manto proved that his stories actually evoked dejection and disillusionment. His exceptionally unique discernment of Partition was reason enough for him to be considered as the most controversial and misunderstood writer of his times.

Key Words

victims, hypocrisy, castigated, religious, acrimony, underprivileged, obscenity.
