Manto: A Mirror Of Society
Manto's hard-hitting quotes which mirrors the reality of the society, even now.
Manto was, is and will always remain alive among us as a writer who wrote in the most honest way. As Manto has said, If you find my stories dirty, the society you are living in is dirty. With my stories, I only expose the truth.
Today, on Saadat Hasan Manto’s 108th birth anniversary, TSA brings you 8 of his hard-hitting quotes which will remind you of the reality we all are living in and give you some lifelong lessons we are in dire need of. These quotes will make you realise that Manto was way ahead of his times and that he indeed wrote the hardcore reality of life, there is absolutely no doubt about that. In Manto’s words “Sach Bolne Walon Ko Meethi Batien Bolna Nahi Aata”

Religion becomes poison when it leaves the heart and ascends to the mind.
Only fools can think that Religion can be shot dead.
I send thousands of curses on the society which has a principle that after one’s death his character will be sent to laundry where it will be washed.
