Manto was incorrigible!

Nothing could make him stop writing about the world as he saw it for as long as he lived. Not six court cases of obscenity, not the partition of his beloved nation and the difficult decision to move to Pakistan, not the abject poverty that drove him to near homelessness, not the bid of well-wishers to admit him to a mental asylum (meant to cure alcoholism). He lived till he wrote and then when he was told he couldn’t write anymore, he died.

What he wrote about were taboo subjects, how he wrote them was taboo too. He was rebuked and ostracised but he continued imbuing all his characters- the pimps, prostitutes, lunatics, free spirited women- with the very same dignity that was denied to him.
