ABSTRACT
To attain freedom, the price that had to be paid was the decision regarding the partition. Democracy was the direct outcome of the struggle. rebellion had been triggered off in all four directions of the country to stand up against colonialism, amidst the political encounter between an individual and society as well as the (in)contiguity between communities and society at large. Manto’s Syaah Haashiye throws open the horrifying conditions of those times, nudging the records of cracked and lacerated memories within us. The frowns of the powers challenging humanitarian values and their secret signs are picked by the intellectual antenna. To record the conflict and clashes in the voices of the stricken, the wounded and the abused is the responsibility of the writer. Literature’s creative architecture is the most fantastic and unparalleled romance of the human mind.
