Saadat Hasan Manto was an ace of a short story Urdu writer of the twentieth Century. He had contributed with his astounding writings which hold its relevance till date. Being an iconoclast he was able to break the clich�d shackles of the traditional writing and pave way for progressive Urdu writing. His essays, stories, deliberations and contemplations leave an indelible imprint in our minds and thus we times and again keep turning back the pages of history and bask in his reeking tales of partition filled with unwavering honesty. His tales such as A Woman�s Life, Mozail and Colder Than Ice recorded the mayhem that lay latent behind the threads that people put onHis characters had their own individualistic domain who stood upright in the most impoverished and deplorable conditions of their time. Manto had used women as the most powerful tool to show the unleashed barbarism that was reigning naked during the clamor of 1947. Women strongly expressed dissent to remain subjugated and suffer from hushed deceit.
