Saadat Hasan Manto (/mɑːn,-tɒ/; Punjabi, Urdu: سعادت حسن منٹو, pronounced[səˈaːd̪ət̪ˈɦəsənˈməɳʈoː]; 11 May 1912 – 18 January 1955) was a Pakistani writer, playwright and author born in Ludhiana, who was active in British India and later, after the 1947 partition of India, in Pakistan.[2][3][4]
Writing mainly in Urdu, he produced 22 collections of short stories, a novel, five series of radio plays, three collections of essays and two collections of personal sketches. His best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics.[5][6] He is best known for his stories about the partition of India, which he opposed, immediately following independence in 1947.[7][8] Manto's most notable work has been archived by Rekhta.[9]
Manto was tried for obscenity six times; thrice before 1947 in British India, and thrice after independence in 1947 in Pakistan, but was never convicted.[10] He is acknowledged as one of the finest 20th century Urdu writers and is the subject of two biographical films: the 2015 film Manto, directed by Sarmad Khoosat and the 2018 film Manto, directed by Nandita Das.[11]
