Abstract:

The desire of expressing one’s trauma and the compulsion to resist revelation is an ongoing conflict within an individual. Saadat Hasan Manto’s narrative in “Toba Tek Singh” is a negotiation between the two, not just for himself but for an entire people as he manages to evoke a discussion between silence (loss of language) and testimony. His text reiterates that it is difficult to separate personal and collective trauma.  Originally written in Urdu, this short story is a narrative of the dilemma of Bishan Singh, who in post partition of India and Pakistan in 1947,

Abstract:

There is something extraordinarily evocative about great fiction or literary narratives by great writers of fiction on the theme of coercive authority. The celebrated South Asian Urdu essayist and short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto (1912-1955) belongs to a long tradition of highly gifted authors who had the occasion of personally encountering and confronting the cumbersome machinations and the at times mindless and oppressive logic of authority. Like other eminent writers of his ilk, his reflections on his experiences – Manto underwent several criminal trials for allegedly obscene writing –

Manto's paintings are lauded for their bold realism and precise depiction of societal realities, while they face criticism for their purportedly gruesome nature. This study analyzes Manto's the

Abstract:

“Toba Tek Singh”, portraying psychic-asylum inmates and their transfer between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of partition, is possibly a most celebrated short story by Saadat Hasan Manto. He intensely brings out his personal experiences of dilemma after the partition on which he colors his work “Toba Tek Singh.” In doing so, the author produces a character, revolutionary in nature, called Bishan Singh. The present paper investigates the story from a contemporary philosophical prospect to consider asylum as well as no man’s land as a space of resistance.

The partition of India had led to a holocaust of almost one million deaths and displacement of innumerable numbers on the both side of the border. Out of this huge numbers of casualties the number of women’s death was not less than one lakh. This loss of life and property as well as separation from near and dear ones created a vacuum which could only be realistically portrayed through fiction.

Abstract:

Despite its historical and cultural significance in South Asia, Prostitution is frequently denied recognition as a legitimate profession due to its deep ties to social stigma and marginalization. Prostitution, grounded in traditions like the <em>Tawaif</em> and <em>Devadasi</em> civilizations, previously had a crucial function in classical art, dance, and social activities, including the struggle for independence. Nonetheless, colonial governance and cultural changes reconfigured these positions, relegating prostitutes to the periphery of society. This research paper analyses selected South As

Abstract:

In the last few years, English has gained extraordinary respect in Pakistan. Due to this increased traction, students have started learning and speaking English despite losing their Urdu language. Although the learners use language as a tool to shape their discussions, they also negotiate their sense of self and how they see relationships with the outside world. The impact of British colonial English on modern Pakistani English is profound, reflecting broader themes of linguistic dominance and cultural influence that continue to shape the country’s social, educational, and political landscapes

Abstract: The Partition of India in 1947 remains a defining and traumatic episode in South Asian history, marked by unparalleled violence, mass displacement, and deep-seated communal strife. The division of British India into the newly formed nations of India and Pakistan led to the forced migration of over fourteen million people and resulted in the deaths of an estimated one to two million individuals-a scale of human suffering that continues to haunt the collective memory of the subcontinent (Talbot and Singh 3). As historian Yasmin Khan observes, “Partition was not a single event, but a pr

Tarih boyunca pek çok göçlere sahne olan Hint alt kıtası, 14 Ağustos’ta Pakistan’ın, 15 Ağustos 1947’de ise Hindistan’ın bağımsızlıklarını kazanıp müstakil birer devlet olarak kurulmalarıyla birlikte büyük bir göç dalgasına tanıklık etmiştir. Bu bölünme ile birlikte Pakistan tarafında kalan Hindu-Sihler Hindistan’a, Hindistan topraklarında kalan Müslümanlar ise yeni kurulan Pakistan’a göç etmişlerdir. Dünya tarihinde eşine az rastlanan bu mübadele döneminde, insanlık dışı pek çok olay yaşanmıştır. Aynı topraklar üzerinde yüzyıllardır kardeşçe yaşamış alt kıta halkları, ayrılık ile birlikte bir

Abstract:

Abstract“Toba Tek Singh,” which describes the exchange of mental asylum inmates between India and Pakistan in the wake of partition, was perhaps Saadat Hasan Manto’s most well-known short story. Manto’s work was coloured by his experience of mental illness, including alcohol addiction and possible depressive disorder. This essay attempts to use “Toba Tek Singh” as a lens through which to shine an integrative light on the role of mental illness in Manto’s work and life, by discussing his personal experiences, themes of mental illness in the story, and the implications of his writing in the hist

Sufría pensando que estaban a punto de abandonarlo para ir a India” (93).
