### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Few books touch your soul,it is one of them
*by D***Y on 29 July 2019*

This book is a collection of total twelve short stories written by the renowned writer Saddat Hasan Manto, who strongly opposed the partition of India. He was a progressive writer of his generation who had to face extreme brutality due to his progressive ideological writings which lays great influence on the readers. This book has been translated by @aatishalitaseer to English with his fine use of language ..I saw the film Manto before I started reading this book, and the film included various events explained in this book..As I begun my reading, the story Toba Tek Singh, touched my soul with the linear concept of partition. Before reading this story, I had an extremely narrow conception about Indians and Pakistanis, after I read it, i was thrilled to know that partition was even conducted in mental asylums on the basis of their religion and country wise division.Then another story spoke about the rivalry between the men at borders for a dog and at the first few pages it was literally funny when Indians named it CHAPPAD JHUNJHUN and then suppressing names given by Indians Pakistan soldiers gave it a name SAPPAD SUNSUN and it was hilarious in the way it was written. But after a while, it was no more funny and resulting in sacrificing an innocent life of a dog, who was seen as a toy to them claiming to be their own property and them ordering the innocent dog that brave doesn't fear death, and on the other side the innocent dog had no idea of this brutality of humand minds, but had to loose it's life as a result of human egos and grievances.But the most beautiful story I read on this book is Ten rupees which depicts cruelty of society yet the innocence of a girl. It's a must read collection of short stories
