A short story(afsaana) by one of my favourite writer Saadat Hasan Manto, which had immense effect on me when i read it during my theatre days. He wrote extensively about the twisted and dark corners of human psyche at the backdrop of partition. Reading about Manto and his afsaane (stories) is a challenge in itself, because it questions way too many complexities of life, of society, of your own privilege, while stirring the very core of our innate emotions. Manto speaks directly to our emotions, and his writings create anxiety amongst those who tried their best to preserve the status quo. His afsaane seems to be relevant even in today's time.
