Event Description

“Ishtihaar” conceived and compiled by Deevas Gupta is a collection of different short stories by Manto stitched together via poetry freshly written by Deevas himself. Through Ishtihaar, we aim to present the lesser performed or discussed works of the writer and bring to the light his unbelievable creative range beyond the stereotypical image of stories around partition and prostitution. These stories will not only make you laugh or cry perhaps, but also inspire you to explore his works again. The whole experience of the blunt narration of Manto and the satirical tone of poetry will not only teleport you to the times these stories were written in but will also make you realise how relevant these themes are even today. Ishtihaar attempts to bring different favours of Saadat Hasan Manto’s writing and his favourite characters to life through the art of storytelling.
