  1. Akanksha Sinha

    Interesting short stories. The translation felt a bit clunky in places, which detracted from the experience. Still, a good introduction to Manto.

  2. Vishakha

    Uneven but ultimately rewarding. Manto is a master storyteller. The book could have been shorter overall.

  3. Dewangana Singh

    Manto’s writing is raw and powerful. Some stories hit harder than others, but overall, a worthwhile read.

  4. Ankita Halder

    Manto’s stories are a punch to the gut. So relevant even today. Highly recommended for anyone interested in South Asian literature.

  5. Pranav Wilson

    Some stories resonated with me more than others, but the book overall provided insight into the human condition. It was dark but eye-opening.

  6. Shreya Garg

    A stark look at society. Manto doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. I appreciate the honesty, though it can be bleak.

  7. Sachin Yadav

    A mixed bag. Some stories were brilliant, others fell flat. Manto is undeniably talented, though.

  8. Shail Tripathi

    Manto at his best. Unflinching and honest. A must-read for anyone interested in social commentary. The book was amazing!

  9. Prateek

    Important stories, but hard to digest. Manto’s world is not always easy to enter. But worth the effort to read it.

  10. Rupashi Aggarwal

    A good collection of stories, but I didn’t love every one. Still, worth reading for Manto’s unique voice.

  11. Mona

    I found the stories depressing, but also beautifully written. Manto captures the struggles of ordinary people so well.

  12. Ishan Srivastava

    Powerful and thought-provoking. Manto’s words stay with you long after you finish reading. Translation was well done!
