Manto Still Ponders Who Is The Greater Story-teller: He Or God?

One day he died due to liquor, his wife asked him to pay visit to the doctor. He refused her by replying:

"I don't need doctor, I need a sip of liquor."

His wife Safia gave him spoonful of liquor, and thus Urdu's literary gaint left this horrible world while drinking.

He was abused by so-called moralists for his writtings in his lifetime, and he is even abused after his death. 

Being a writer he asked for a license of printing press, when he left India and came to Pakistan after partition, but his right-winger friend Qudratullah Suhab offered him license of an ice factory.

But even today some sadistics get sexual pleasures from his stories, while  there is no sexual pleasure in his stories rather they are tales of human brutality and evilness.

His favorite woman is not an ordinary woman, who works hard and toils from dawn to dusk.

 But she is a woman who sells her body to men of honor so that she could fill her belly, her day starts from dusk and ends at dawn, and she is troubled by the thoughts that one day she would loose her beauty and charms, and would die of hunger in her old age.

It was Manto, who said:

"Every man wants a woman in his bed, but no man wants to beget a daughter."

Today is the birth anniversary of legendary Sadat Hasan Manto. Paying him homage Google has changed its doodle. But lying under tons of sand Manto still ponders:

Who is greater Story-teller: He or God?
